Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Find an online survey site and verify that it is legitimate. Good survey sites such as SurveySpot, Your2Cents and MySurvey will never ask you to pay to participate or ask you for sensitive financial information. You should be able to find many positive reviews of a legitimate online survey site. You can also contact the Better Business Bureau if you need more information.

2. Register with the online survey site. Some sites will ask you to fill out demographic information (such as age, gender, location) in order to target specific surveys towards you.

3. Be patient - with most survey sites you will need to wait to be contacted for a survey opportunity. Most sites will notify you via email when a new survey is available.

4. Be aware of the potential rewards. Some surveys will award cash upon completion. Some award entries into a sweepstakes and some have no award at all.

5. Be honest when filling out the surveys. Companies who pay for online survey research want honest, thorough information.

6. Set your expectations low. Participating in online surveys won't make you rich overnight, but it can be a fun, easy way to earn a few extra dollars.
