I have always thought that taking some paid surveys is a great way to earn some extra cash. However, I can never find any good sites. I have used ciao surveys but I don't think that the payment is good enough for the time that it takes to fill out a survey. Sometimes I don't like answering the persoanl questions that relate to money. I do however like to do them because you can do this in a comfy environment and in your own time. Does anybody else here do this and if so....do you have any sites I could try out to help make a few more dollars??

I also do a lot of paid surveys and am one of the lucky ones who tends to do pretty well with them. I'll send you a PM.

I do some, but they aren'tterribly profitable. But they are easy to do while you are watching TV or something. I like MySurvey and ACOP.

Honestly I have tried paid surveys and found them to be a waste of time. I think once I got a $4 check.

Maybe I am doing something wrong or taking the wrong surveys, I am going to check out some of the links recommended by the wahm's above!

The only one I ever made money with was globaltestmarket.com. The nice thing about them is they still give you points if you even start a survey, but are disqualified. Probably just want to give incentive until you do actually get one that you're qualified for.

Minimum payout is $50, so it takes awhile...

I have really had a lot of luck with Opinion Outpost. I have gotten $10 for one of their surveys. It is not likely that you will ever be able to retire doing surveys, but it's fun to get checks for 25 bucks in the mail every once in a while. Sometimes, I have DH complete them while he is mindlessly watching sports. He usually qualifies for more because he is a male. The survey companies are often looking for a certain demographic, and I guess that they get enough white women between 20 and 40 applying that I get turned down a lot. Buzzy, I would pick global test market as my second fave. But it does take a while to hit that fifty dollar mark.

My husband is so patient and puts up with my little quirky money making ventures.

And I do not know if this has been posted anywhere, but we just sold back some old textbooks that I just wanted rid of, on a website. There are a few of them, but we sold about 15 books, and got $125. There are other sites that will buy some of your other books and send you a check. Good way to clean up and make money.

Hi, am I missing something or do these surveys not end, once started? And why am I getting unsolicited texts on my cell?

Thank you

I take paid surveys when i have the time. There are many good sites out there. Try these two:

Opinion Place and SurveySpot. They both pay PayPal I have been paid from both.

I think surveys are a relatively easy way to make small amounts of additional income as they only take 5 to 10 minutes to complete. The rewards from individual surveys can be small sometimes less than $5 but if you persevere then these small rewards soon add up.
