Most companies in this field are US based and pay out in dollars or gift vouchers, but some are based elsewhere in the world, mainly Australia, UK and Europe and pay in Australian dollars, sterling or euros as appropriate.

In most cases you receive an advisory e-mail from the paid survey site and simply click on the link or return to the site to complete the survey and get paid. Some sites pay you cash or vouchers eg Amazon, to complete surveys whilst others enter you into a prize draw with cash prizes for a lucky few.

New free paid survey companies are coming into this field all the time, so check back here regularly.

Although most of the following paid survey sites are for US companies, and frequently pay out in dollars, all are available internationally unless otherwise stated. Paypal is often used to pay worldwide survey participants.

Don't expect to get dozens of requests; one or two a month from each paid survey site and you'll be doing well. Since it costs nothing to sign up and the sums do gradually add up, just look on each one as a bonus.

Contrary to appearances suggested by the name, American Consumer Opinion is made up of consumers worldwide who have agreed to participate in paid surveys online. Occasionally, these consumers are asked to participate in mail surveys or telephone surveys, but generally the surveys are all conducted over the Internet.

As a panel member, you will participate in several surveys a year, typically. The average paid survey will take 10 minutes or so to complete, and the questions are usually easy to answer.

Panel members can expect to receive a "screener" (a short questionnaire) every six weeks or so.

All registered members participate in a monthly drawing to win $250 in cash awards, just for being a member.

If you answer a screener (a short questionnaire), you will be entered into a drawing for cash awards and when you participate in a survey (a longer questionnaire), you will always receive some type of incentive in the form of a free product to test, cash, a check, or a gift.

Incentives typically range in value from $4 to $25 or local equivalent, per survey, depending upon the length of the questionnaire and the time it takes to complete it. In most cases, non-US members are paid by check in their own currency. If a survey is extra long, then the award could be $25 or more. Participants in online focus groups generally receive more than $25.

I have been paid for taking surveys from this company many times, and there's no minimum payment. You get paid for each survey individually, rather than having to reach a minimum figure in earnings.

MySurvey.com is only available to US, Canadian and UK Residents, but I've included it here as the US arm in particular is one of the most active survey sites with surveys available every week. Each earns you points which are exchangeable for a vast range of goods including everything from cash, Amazon vouchers and charitable donations to TVs and camping equipment. Additional points can be earned by referring others. The UK site pays in gift vouchers after every survey, valid in most high street stores, with at least £1 if you don't qualify and generally £2-£4 if you complete the full survey.

They are particularly in need of new and expectant mothers from the US

globaltestmarket

GlobalTestMarket has a very active survey division and requires paid survey participants worldwide over the age of 14. The views of those under 14 may be sought but the invitation will go to the parent for the child to complete.

You earn "marketpoints" each time you respond to a paid survey request - the closer you fit the demographics for the survey, the higher the points earned but you'll always earn up to 10 points even if you don't qualify at all. A typical survey of 30 questions that takes approximately 12 minutes to complete will earn 60 to 80 MarketPoints. You can also earn extra points when you refer others. Each point is worth $0.05 and you need 1000 points to qualify for payment by check.

They seem to be fairly active. I'm receiving at least 2 or 3 surveys that I qualify for, every week at present, but obviously it will depend where in the world you are based. For full details and registration form, visit GlobalTestMarket

Test&Vote is slightly different from other survey sites I've come across in that you don't have to rely on getting invitations for completing surveys, but have several other ways of earning points or getting free items.

  • Registration earns you 1,500 points
  • Quick votes, each time you take part earns you 15 points (there are always loads of these on the site so visit regularly. They take a matter of seconds to complete.)
  • Product testing, registering for each trial earns you 75 points even if you're not selected to take part
  • Surveys earn you between 3,000 and 30,000 points
  • Referring a friend, for each person who joins Test&Vote because of you, you will earn 500 points
  • Subject panels - complete these to get 500 points per subject.

You can either exchange your points for gift vouchers or use them to buy tickets in the monthly lottery.

The MBS Internet Research Center is looking for people who are willing to participate in online surveys and focus groups over the web. Incentives include cash, prizes, and drawings for your opinions.

Incentives for online surveys are usually in the form of cash, product samples and/or gift certificates.

Sometimes, surveys offer no incentive at all and sometimes you are entered into major drawings. In the case of review surveys, you may be allowed to keep product samples. Payment is based on the submission of a completely answered, requested survey form. You are never obligated to participate.

    SCAM WARNING

    http://surveyjunction.com

    Here's one buyer's experience of this company:
    Thinking that with me being on-line so much, I may as well put my time to good use and earn myself some much needed funds, hence one of the reasons for joining CIAO! I had also joined a few other online survey sites, but as yet had no surveys to do for them, so in my ignorance of these things, and on looking round the net, I came across a website that said they had an exclusive list of nearly 200 internet marketing companies, with paid and rewarded survey opportunities, I also got an email into my account telling me about this opportunity.

    I knew that many companies worked only with selected groups, and thought that this was a way of getting into these groups, and broadening my chances of increasing my funds. Survey Junction stated that these were 'worldwide opportunities', and so I thought that I would give it a go.

    After paying 'the small one time $32.95 Membership Fee' I was given access to their members only area, which contained two pages of links to such websites as CIAO! and other sites which do surveys for prize draws, or to earn points. Most of the ones which paid out monies were for people who reside in the USA, also along with these survey sites (which could have been found by searching through a search engine) were many links which infact were not survey sites, but 'freestuff' sites!!!!!!!!
