My 5 Best Paid Surveys

So you need money? We all know the economy is hitting many people hard. I'm going to share with you some sites that pay you to do surveys. I'm currently with these sites, so I know they pay. Let's face it, your not going to get rich with these sites, but it's just another easy way to get some extra money. The nice thing about these sites is that they pay through Paypal, which is very convenient for many. So if you don't already have an account with them, sign up!

Pinecone Research is by far the best survey site I've been on. They only post banners on web-pages when people are needed, so you have to find a banner to their site in order to apply. I found mine here Volition. The pay is $3 per survey, which is not that bad. I receive about 1 survey a week, and have tested some products, which in return generates more income. Pinecone pays through check and Paypal. I always receive payments a day or two after I complete the survey.

SurveyHead is another good paying survey site. The surveys here vary in pay from $1 to $5. I just completed a survey yesterday for $7, and it was 45 minutes long. You need $25 to cash out and surprisingly doesn't take too long. They have many daily surveys available. They usually post five or six surveys daily, so if you qualify for all of them and each pays $1 you could easily earn $5-$6. They only pay through Paypal.

Opinion Place is offered by AOL. One survey is allowed every 14 days, but the pay is good and they always pay promptly after completing a survey. Easy to qualify for a survey here. On average I have earned $3 per survey, but I have done a couple that paid $5. The longer surveys usually pay more. They pay through Paypal, AOL Credits, Amazon Gift Cards, AAdvantages Miles, or you can choose to be entered into their sweepstakes. I have never had a problem with them paying me.

Mindfield Online. This survey site pays through check only. Once your account reaches $10 you will be notified about cashing out, or you can cash out later on. They send out weekly checks. I receive surveys about once a week. The surveys are worth $1-$5. Your account isn't credited until 10-14 days later though. If you don't qualify for a survey, you will be entered into a monthly contest for cash and/or prizes. They also have focus groups opportunities.

SurveySavvy Pays your earnings by check. The minimum payout is $1. I usually get a weekly survey from them, sometimes two that I qualify for. They also have an awesome referral program. The patent referral payment system works by giving you incentives when you complete surveys, when your referrals complete surveys, and when your referral's referrals complete surveys. And even if you don't qualify for a given survey, they will still enter you into the SurveySavvy Sweepstakes, which is a monthly drawing for fifty $10 prizes. This is really one of the best. Give it a try!!!

There are many survey sites out there. Read all information carefully and make sure they are legit. Remember you won't get rich doing surveys, but a few extra dollars a months is better than nothing. In this past month I've earned $74 just doing surveys for some sites. Not too bad.
