Free Survey Sites that Pay

If you are looking to make a few extra dollars per month, you can sign up to take free surveys from these sites. I have personally used these sites for the past few years and have had good experience with them. I have received payment in the form of cash, check, paypal or gift certificates. Most of the sites also enter you into a monthly or bi monthly drawing where you have the chance to win even more money.

If you have some spare time, you can sign up for these sites. They are free to join. They will send you emails whenever they have surveys that they think you may be qualified for. You may not qualify for every survey but the ones that you do qualify for, you will receive compensation for. The following are sites that I have been paid by.

Mysurvey.com, which is also known as NFO (National Family Opinion), is the first survey site that I became a member of. They have a good reputation. They send me surveys a few times a month and I usually receive anywhere from 5 to 300 points or more depending on the survey and how long it is. Once you receive 1000 points in your reward balance, you can cash in for a $10 check. If you have 2000 reward points as your balance, you can cash in for a $20 check. For every 1000 points, you get $10. They will send you your check in the mail.

I really like Clear Voice Surveys, which can be found at clearvoicesurveys.com. Although they don't have a cash reward, they have Amazon gift certificates, Dining Dough gift certificates and a prepaid debit gift card as your reward choices. I like it because if you choose the Amazon gift certificate, they send the code to you in your email and you can redeem your gift card on Amazon.com immediately after receiving the code. Clear Voice Surveys sends me a good amount of surveys throughout the month that I actually qualify for.

Lightspeed Panel sends me a pretty good amount of surveys as well. They can be found at lightspeedpanel.com. Sometimes I do not qualify for their surveys, but when I do, the surveys usually last anywhere between 5 to 30 minutes. I receive points for each survey, depending on the length of the survey, and then I can redeem those points either for music downloads, items for your home, or cash. I always opt for cash and they pay me through paypal. It usually takes about 5 days for them to send me the money through my paypal account.

Another good site that I belong to is Opinionsquare.com. Although I do not think they offer cash rewards, they do offer gifts as rewards. They send me a pretty good amount of surveys per month that I qualify for. Each survey, usually earns me about 200 points. Even when I don't qualify for a survey, they give me a token. The tokens are used to play a scratch off game or free spin game that awards you points, usually between 25-50 points. So even though I don't qualify for a particular survey, they still reward me with points. Once I reach a certain amount of points, I can cash them in for gifts such as gift certificates to stores, household items, gourmet foods and other neat things.

These are the survey sites I've had the best results with. Another cool thing about them, is that sometimes they may send you a product to try at home. If you try the product and complete the follow up survey, they will reward you for the product trial. So, not only are you getting to test a product, but you also receive compensation for it as well. Sometimes, the compensation you receive for a product trial is higher than what you would normally get if you were taking a regular survey.

I like that I can voice my opinions on new products and help out companies. I also like that I get paid for it too, even though it's not something you can make a living with. Any extra money that I get per month taking surveys is money I would not have had otherwise and it does come in handy.

Do not forget, these sites are free to join. If a survey site ever asks you for money upfront, it is most likely a scam. If you are thinking of joining any of the sites that I had mentioned, you can go to their website and register with them. They will usually send you a confirmation email confirming your membership. Then, wait a few days and you will probably start receiving some surveys that you can take and then start earning your rewards.
