Surveys That Pay
Do you know that there are companies out there that will pay you well for giving your opinion? Why? Because companies want to get user views and therefore commission market research firms to go out and get these for them. To entice you to complete a survey, you’re usually paid in cash but may also be paid in gifts, vouchers or rewards (we prefer cash!).
We think taking online surveys or completing offers in an awesome way to make money because:
- You can do it from anywhere and in your own time
- You are simply giving your thoughts or completing basic tasks
- You can make shockingly good money from it
Following on from the last point, you may be wondering how much you can make. Well, it’s common for people to make $30-$50 an hour on survey sites. Spread that over a month and you could be earning several thousands. My screenshot of my CashCrate balance shows the typical amount I earn from just that site in a week with just a few hours ‘work’ a day.
So, ready to start making some decent (or serious) money with survey sites? Here’s my list of the best legitimate survey sites.
1. CashCrate
This comes in at number 1 because of the money I earn with in a relatively short space of time. Here are the CashCrate stats. Remember, these get better as your earnings increase:
- Minimum Age to do surveys – Just 13
- 1st Tier Referral Earnings – 20%
- 2nd Tier Referral Earnings – 10%
- Extra Bonus – $3 for any referral that earns $10
- Allows international membership
- Payment Method – By Check or PayPal
- Membership Fee – Free to join
Unlike other sites which email your surveys or offers to complete, you login to CashCrate and then complete and offer or survey. This video shows how it all works:
Hope that video has helped explain it. As you can probably see, it’s all pretty simple. Although the offer amounts don’t seem huge, the fact that each offer takes a minute or two to complete means you can quickly rack up the dollars. Another awesome trait of CashCrate is its affiliate program which helps you generate income passively. All you need to do is send your referral link to your friends and family or add it to your site if you have one. This useful video goes into their affiliate program in more detail:
You should definitely get started with CashCrate but if you need a little variety, here are my other recommendations.
2. SurveySavvy
I also regularly use this site as the survey payouts are usually pretty hefty. Emails are sporadic (once or twice) a month buy the rewards when you complete them make it worthwhile.
The remaining survey sites are ones that I have received payment from. These are recommended if you really want me make a significant second income with survey sites. If you feel you may get overwhelemed, stick with CashCrate for now.
Here’s the list:
