How to Compare Online Survey Websites

Your opinion counts, and you can get paid for it.

There are many credible survey reward sites online, but they are not all created equal. Take some time to review the elements that differentiate the major online survey sites before deciding which ones are worth your time and effort.

Compensation

Perhaps the most important feature of any online survey site is how much and how often you'll be compensated. Some survey sites pay in cash, while others use reward points that can be traded for cash or prizes. Payment type varies; some survey organizations use PayPal, while others send a check on a monthly basis or offer to make a direct deposit.

Availability

The number of surveys available to you is another consideration. Money paid by survey sites generally come from a variety of advertisers looking to serve a certain demographic. You may not qualify; therefore, the number of surveys available to you may be limited. Try to determine whether you fit the demographic they're looking for.

Other Incentives

Most popular survey websites offer peripheral incentives to earn extra money. They might include paying you a commission to sign up for trial services from the survey site's advertisers (your credit card number is necessary) or for referring others to their service.
