Making Money by Giving Your Opinion

There is a plethora of ways in which a person can make money on the internet. Money making opportunities exist all the way from telecommuting jobs that you can perform on the telephone down to transcribing for a law office or medical company. Many work at home moms, college students, work at home dads and those who make their living online will be happy to know that paid surveys are a legitimate form of income and companies will actually pay you to give your opinion on a product or situation.

Some of these companies that you can make money from will present you with a survey and will either offer you cash as a form of payment or will enter you into a drawing for one of their many cash and award prizes. Furthermore, some paid survey companies will also offer you the opportunity to "cash in" your points when you've taken enough surveys. Some of the companies that exist on the internet that allow you to take surveys to make money are:

NFO My Survey

This paid survey company will allow you to make money and earn rewards by giving you the opportunity to take surveys on their website. The surveys will take as short as 5 minutes and some of them will take even longer and upwards of 15 minutes. The surveys, however, are well worth it when the member logs into their account to see the types of prizes and cash that are awarded. There are four types of rewards with NFO My Survey: cash, prizes and merchandise, charity donations, and raffle tickets. The cash opportunity requires you to have a set minimum of points in your account; surprisingly, this set amount is not high at all and is very attainable. The prize and merchandise category does have some valuable rewards, like a Sony Laptop, DVD player, and Washer and Dryer. Of course, the more expensive the merchandise usually means the more points that you'll have to earn, but NFO My Survey does have smaller prizes, too!

NPD Online Research

Another company that offers prizes in return for completing surveys is NPDOR, or NPD Online Research. This company requires you to fill out surveys two to four times a month. In return, you'll be given Sweepland points. These Sweepland points that you have are able to be put into a raffle of other survey takers' points so that you'll have a chance to win a major prize. Some of the bigger prizes that NPDOR is giving away in 2007 are a Pontiac Solstice, five-thousand dollars in cash, and a $3600 grocery shopping spree. Of course, there are $100 drawings every month and a NPDOR member wins each time.

There are plenty of other places to take online surveys and complete paid offers, like InboxDollars and Fairy Tale Treasures. However, NFO My Survey and NPDOR are two of the best paid survey companies on the World Wide Web and give people an incredible opportunity to make a little bit of extra money on the side!
