Taking online surveys is a way to earn some extra income. They can be done while watching tv or in between work assignments. It’s not a way to make a living but it can supplement your income or give you a little “mad money”. It's great for those who work from home or wish to make money online.

Here is a list of the top sites with paid surveys so you can get started making money today.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Computer
  • Internet service
  1. Step 1

    My favorite survey site is Yourfreesurveys.com. The payout is $30.00 and it is sent to your Paypal account immediately without having to request it. You can earn at least 1.95 daily so payouts are quick.

  2. Step 2

    Inboxdollars.com is also a site with a $30.00 payout. You can only earn 50 cents per day/per survey but you can also sign up for offers. Some of these offers are completely free. You can also earn a few pennies by reading emails. It generally takes 6-8 weeks to receive a check (and they take out a finance fee).

  3. Step 3

    Sendearnings.com is the exact same thing as Inboxdollars. This isn’t surprising since they’re owned by the same company.

  4. Step 4

    Lightspeedpanel.com is an invite only survey site. However, the payout starts at 575 points and most surveys earn 75 or 150 points so it doesn’t take long to get the required amount of points. Lightspeedpanel gives you a choice of redeeming points for cash, gift cards or items

  5. Step 5

    Memolink.com gives you points by making purchases. Although, you do not have to buy anything. Click on the “Take Surveys” button and rack up the points for free. They also allow you to sign up for offers-some free, some with a cost. Memolink gives you a choice of redeeming for gift certificates, gas cards, items or cash.

  6. Step 6

    Opinionoutpost.com is a survey site with a low payout of $5.00. It usually takes 4-8 weeks to receive a check. You can check the site for surveys as well as wait for emails from the company.

  7. Step 7

    Mindfieldonline.com is an invite only survey site but they also have a low payout of $5.00. Checks are usually received within three weeks of requesting payment

Tips & Warnings
  • These sites generate a lot of spam. I recommend setting up a free email account to use for registration.
  • Use caution and don’t give out too much information about yourself. If you don’t like the questions a survey is asking, you don’t have to complete it. You can always take another one.
  • Always make sure the survey site you are using does not have a membership fee.
