Taking surveys is a way to earn some extra money. You need to know which sites actually pay.

There are a lot of survey sites on the Internet. A lot of them off you many and prizes to take their surveys, but there’s always a catch. You either have to pay to join them or buy something from their affiliates. I know this because I have tried to sign up for different survey sites. Here are some that I have been a member of for a few years that actually do pay and are free to join.

Survey Spot – www.surveyspot.com
This site sends you links for surveys pretty much every day. The majority of the surveys offer you money if you qualify and complete the surveys. They can range from $1 to about $10 or more depending on the topic. It has a low cash out too. Once you make $5, you can request a check. You can also let the money build until you are ready to cash out. The longest surveys I have taken for survey spot have been about 45 minutes. The longer the survey, the more money you’re offered. The only downside is that you are not offered points or anything if you don’t qualify for a survey.

Greenfield Online – www.greenfieldonline.com
This is another survey site that sends you surveys practically every day. They can also range from $1 to up to $20. You can request a check when you reach $4 or you can keep the money in your account until you are ready for it. The down side is that they can be lengthy even when the money that is offered is low.

My Survey – www.mysurvey.com
This survey site works on a point system. The surveys start out being for 10 points, but may lead to more if you qualify for another survey. You will get 10 points whether you qualify for a survey or not. There are also times when you are asked to try products at home. You can request money (checks), gift cards, prizes, and more once you have reached 1,000 points. The downside to this site is that the surveys may not come every day depending on your profile, but they do come.

Opinion Outpost – www.opinionoutpost.com
This survey site also works on a point system. Ten points is worth $1. Twenty points is worth $2 and so on. These surveys come every other day. Once you reach about $5, you can cash out. The downside is that you don’t get any points if you don’t qualify for a survey

Lightspeed Panel – www.lightspeedpanel.com
This site also works on a point system. A lot of the surveys are worth 75 points or more. They also ask you to test products from time to time. Once you reach 550 points, you can get money, gift cards, movies, etc. You need to have a paypal account to get paid at this site. This could be a downside if you don’t have a paypal account. I get the gift cards. This is another site that won’t offer points you don’t qualify for a survey.

Global Test Market – www.globaltestmarket.com
This survey site also has a point system. The points offered per survey can vary. Once you reach 1,000 points, you can get $50. This site offers checks. The surveys come pretty much every day. You get points even if you don’t qualify for a survey so your points can build up.

There are some other survey sites that I belong to that I will post about in another blog. I hope these surveys bring you some money too. You won’t get rich off of these surveys, but you can make some extra money doing them. The more sites you join, the more you can possibly earn. If you take the time to do the surveys, you will have some extra money in your pocket.
