A lot of people have been asking about the surveys I take, so here is a list of sites that I use:
http://www.dailysurveypanel.com/?r=nhockaday- my favorite by far. They send you invites for 7 surveys a day. You can only complete 1 through each panel each day. If you complete more than 1, you won't get credit for it. You can get paypal for as little as $1 or gift cards starting at $5. I earn tons of money through them. The only problem is that they utilize other survey panels, so you have to make sure that you clear cookies for certain surveys. Also, there is a science behind their surveys, but unless you are going to be a serious survey taker like myself, it's not important.
www.toluna.com- one of my favorites, but a tricky one. They will send you a couple of invites every day, but they always have tons of surveys available, and you have to log in to take them. You really have to check frequently. They also have polls you can take to earn points. You cash out at $20. I have made a lot of money here, but it takes a lot of devotion to make money. A lot of other survey sites use their surveys too. I have earned $30 on several occasions by participating in live chats. I am pretty sure that this panel is available in different countries.
http://mindfieldonline.com/referral/fa25333f- they send you invitations. You only need $5 to cash out by Paypal or check. They don't send a whole lot, but they are all worth more than $1.
https://www.surveysavvy.com?id=4153526&action=join- They will email you with surveys. I don't think there is a minimum to request a check. Again, they don't send much, but they are all over $1.
www.mysurvey.com- they send you invitations for very short screener surveys. You get a few points for taking them and may qualify for a longer survey that will earn you more points. Points can be used for gift cards, paypal, amazon and other prizes.
us.lightspeedpanel.com- one of my favorites; they send invites and you can get paypal, Amazon or other prizes. I sometimes get several invites a day.
www.opinionoutpost.com- they will send you email invites when a survey is available. You can cash out when you reach $5 and get a check or Amazon GC.
www.springboardamerica.com- not one of my favorites b/c you have to earn $50 before cashing out, and they don't send you me many surveys. It took me a year to make $50.
www.surveyhead.com- they do not send invitations; you can log in several times a day to see available surveys. You cash out at $25 or can get other prizes, like subscriptions, for less. It doesn't take much to earn $25 as long as you check in frequently.
www.globaltestmarket.com- they send you invitations and you must earn $50 before cashing out. It takes a while to earn $50, but they send you a good number of surveys.
www.mysurvey.com- they occasionally send you invites, but you do better by logging on throughout the day. Some surveys give you a lot of points and some not so many, but it's a good site. I always get Amazon GCs, but they have a lot of other prizes too.
www.valuedopinions.com- they send email invites, and you cash out at $20. They don't send many, but they are worth $1 or more.
www.globalopinionpanels.com- they send invites and you can cash out at $5. They have a lot of product tests. Another favorite.
www.i-say.com- they will send surveys and you can cash out for gifts cards at $10.
www.epollsurveys.com- they send invites, but not many. Most of the surveys are entertainment-related. I get maybe one survey a month, if that.
I'm not sure how many of these will be available in other countries besides US and Canada, but you can poke around and see if they are available where you live if you are in another country. I know a few of them are. If you are just starting out or don't have much time, I recommend that you start with panels that send you email invitations. That way you just get a few a week and don't get too bogged down with surveys. Make sure you take the profile surveys that are available on many of the sites. They ask a lot of questions that help them match you with surveys that are appropriate for you. Still, you will run into a lot of surveys that you will not qualify for, even after spending a few minutes on a survey. This is frustrating, but completely normal.
I spend way too much time taking surveys. I normally make about $300 a month, but last month I made over $500. A lot of people just take a few surveys a week and earn more than enough to pay for Christmas. If you want to make a lot of money, it will take you a little bit of time to learn the ins and outs, but once you figure it out, you can make easy money. Plus, sometimes you will get to participate in a product test. They will send you a product to test (and keep!) and you will earn points or money for your feedback. I have tested diapers, toilet paper, all kinds of food, cat litter, hair care, lotion, washing detergent, trash bags, and the list goes on. A lot of it is expensive stuff that I would already buy at the store.
There are some other consumer panels I participate in, but I think they are by invitation only, so I won't mention them.
Oh, and for those in the US and Canada, here is a search engine that I use to earn Amazon GCs
http://soc.li/QgK9Jqc?ref=nf. It's called Swagbucks, and you can earn swagbucks by searching, getting special codes, watching videos, taking surveys, and so much more. They have a lot of ways to earn. I am a heavy user and I earn about $5 a week. It is very addicting!
