I tried a few paid survey sites in the past but I didnt stick with them & honestly dont even recall the name of them. I know most of the surveys were just to long time wise. I like cash crate even though I rarely get to do the daily surveys there I have been doing quite well with the free offers & referrals there so thats my favorite site, then I also like Treasure trooper. Inbox dollars is okay I'm still rather new with them, so I dont have much to say about their site. Treasure trooper & cash crate are pretty much the same.

I have been with Treasure Trooper for a while now, they are my favorite. It is rather a GPT site, not a survey site although you can take daily surveys.
I have also done inbox dollars but I recently noticed that their daily survey dropped from $1.00 to $0.50. I was disappointed about that.
I like Valued Opinions and IPSOS for survey sites. I have recieved gift cards from both of these. If you like gift cards, IPSOS has 100's to choose from. I have also started doing Opinions Outpost but haven't made enough to cash out yet.

In case you have not noticed the title to this thread is called "What are the Best Cash Paid Survey Sites?"
RockOnLily: I have been with Treasure Trooper for a while now, they are my favorite. It is rather a GPT site, not a survey site although you can take daily surveys.
Treasure trooper is not a paid survey site. I have mentioned this numberious times in this forum. They are A GPT site.
Thanks for your input though.
And welcome to the forum

Well this thread has been lengthy to read, with some good information (and some not so good). Thanks to all who have offered their insights!
Now my question is, can somebody who really knows which are the best give us a short list of them please?
Thanks

Hi Silverstone,
Welcome to the forum. Survey Spot is a good start and there are many more good ones out there. You will not find anyone that will just give you a list of good sites just like that. It takes people months if not years to get a good list of paid survey sites. Sites that they have tested and gotten paid from.
Stick around the forum take a look there are many different sites mentioned here and there. Do your research and if you are persistent I believe that you will succeed in finding and compiling a good list of your own.

Thanks for the advice, CashSurveysOnly.
During my research process, I did look at your website and decided not to pay for information such as this.
I also looked at another website that includes free information from a poster here known as "mlynn"
Sure, her links from her website are affiliate links, but at least the information is free. I'm not here to promote mlynn or anything else, but when you tell me that "It takes people months if not years to get a good list of paid survey sites," I can agree with that, but I think that this information can be conveyed freely.

No Problem.
Silverstone: I also looked at another website that includes free information from a poster here known as "mlynn"
I don't want to rain over anyones parade but most of these sites that offer you free lists and have affiliate links have a different agenda. That agenda being promoting sites with high affiliate payouts. This will cause many of those sites to link to other sites which have higher payouts and have nothing to do with paid surveys.

True, you can get a lot of things for free on the web for example "free business cards" but there are strings attached such as it has to say "vistaprint" on it or whatever company is giving it out for free. If you want to remove that from the card so that it looks more professional or if you want to add your logo to the card then there is a charge for that. So you see you can get things for free but to get good and quality that has a price.

CashSurveysOnly,
Not all websites that offer free lists have your so called "agenda".... There are honest people on this planet, and yes I make few bucks off my site but I don't promote scam/spam sites. Of course I know many of those scam/spam sites offer high commissions, that's why you see so many sites promoting them, but I am NOT one of those who just want to make money no matter what!

I felt the need to response to your post, because your post was referring to a comment that relates to my site, and even though you didn't "point out" and you used word most, your post does imply (or at least that is my impression) something that is not true about my site.

This is what a forum is all about stating your opinion and defending what you think is right.

I am not stating my opinion, I am stating the fact.
I am not sure what you are referring to when you say "defending what you think is right", In fact I don't think there is "right" and "wrong" involved here.

Hey CashSurveysOnly, just curious; have you used the survey sites on your site? If so, how much money have you made with them?
Thanks in advance.

Well, you really didn't answer my question, and frankly I can't dismiss the possibility that you could be a liar.

I thought I did answer you question. I will not disclose the amount that I make from paid surveys. I am sorry you did not get the answer that you were looking for.
BTW.

Thanks for the compliment and for giving me the benefit of the doubt.

You could try Yougov. That does pretty short surveys for about �1 per time.

Over the last month I have tried about 10 or so different free survey sites. Most of them pay little to nothing (or in credits and you need thousands in order to obtain anything, which takes way too long). There are only two sites that have really paid me anything. InboxDollars has earned me about $10 over the month, which isn't that impressive. Opinion Outpost seems to be the highest paying, but I don't qualify for most of the surveys because of my demographics for some reason. So out of about 10 available surveys, I qualified for maybe 3. This site has earned me about $10 too. From my experience this month, I don't think that surveys are worth my time, but others seem to be making more, so good luck to everyone that tries.

Hi,
I have been taking surveys for the past 5 years and I have made quite a bit from sites that you can sign up for and you don't have to pay a dime, instead they pay you! I have never paid one red cent to any site for a list of sites to sign up for surveys, nor would I ever, and I have made A LOT! To be honest, its all about how much time and effort you put into taking surveys and if your demographics match the criteria that a particular survey requires..that will determine how muvh you make..From my own experience, LightSpeed panel, Opinion Outpost, IPSOS, Mindfieldonline, greenfieldonline, MyView, Global Opinion Panel (Synovate), SurveySpot, SurveySavvy, ACOP, Mysurvey.com, PineCone Research all pay. There are many more as well, but I am signed up with so many I can't recall all of the names at this time. I have also done several paid online focus groups and bulletin boards as well, and you will find that those pay lots more..you can make anywhere from $50-$150 and sometimes more depending on the company sponsoring the focus group or bulletin board study. Some of the sites I listed above will send special invitations to join other specialized panels that your demographics are a match for, once you have signed up with them. It really can be lucrative if you stick with it and take all or most of the surveys that are sent to you. Most of this has probably been covered here before, but make sure you update your profile if your demographics change to keep your profile current, and give it at least a month before you will start to see an increase in the amount of survey invites that you receive.
Hope this was helpful!

It seems like you are not signed up to good survey sites.
fatman: InboxDollars has earned me about $10 over the month,
Inboxdollars is not a paid survey site.
fatman: Opinion Outpost seems to be the highest paying,
There are many survey sites out there that are better than Opinion Outpost.
fatman: so good luck to everyone that tries. Thanks

CashSurveysOnly, what are the good sites then? After reading this thread about sites I have tried all the ones that claim to be good. I haven't been doing them for very long and plan on continuing with them to see if the payouts get better, though. After being scammed before, I'm not too sure about sites where I have to pay to join...so I'm not so sure I'll try the link in your signature right away. It does look appealling though, so maybe I'll try it someday. Anyway, sorry if I discouraged anyone. Good luck to us all with surveys.

Maybe you can sign up with more - there are more good ones out there. Currently I am with about 100 legitimate paid survey sites, a few paid offer sites, and a few PTR (paid to read email) sites. I know 100 sounds quite alot, but once you take time join them (maybe a couple of days/few days), you will receive more surveys.

You should not limit yourself to this thread there are many good threads in this forum, look around and you will find good information.

Nothing is easy, just stay consistent and you will succeed.
fatman: I'm not too sure about sites where I have to pay to join...so I'm not so sure I'll try the link in your signature right away.
Lets split up the above comment. Never pay to join a paid survey site, I am a big believer in that. Paying for a list or for a directory of paid survey sites is another thing.
There are many reasons why people would pay for a list some reasons include the fact that people don't have the time to do the research and find the survey sites on their own. Others don't know how to do the research. Then there are those that got so many scammy and spammy emails that they don't want to sign up to any more survey sites unless they know that its good. This is where a good paid survey directory comes into play, you need to make sure that you sign up to one that is legit and that only list cash paying survey sites.
fatman: Anyway, sorry if I discouraged anyone. Good luck to us all with surveys.
Don't worry, this is the beauty of this forum people expressing their opinion. You are also entitled to your own.

To get paid you have to go through the offers, does this free surveys really pay off.Can anybody tell me if they actually made money without actually accepting the offers for a free trial.

Workaholic, I don't think that most people "accept" the offers. I try to stay away from the offers and stick to the surveys (when I occasionally do those). I believe that most people pay for the free trial and then quickly cancel, this way they get credit for it, but don't have to pay.
