Thats a pretty interesting list. I see a bunch of the survey sites that I won't put in my list because I KNOW from experience that all they do is send you junk mail and never a real survey. It's interesting to note that those same survey companies don't have a check mark to say they are listed with the BBB. Apparently just because you have a privacy policy doesn't stop the company themselves from slamming you with junk mail.

Really? Which ones? I haven't signed up with all of them, but so far my experience has been pretty positive.
I created a new e-mail address just for taking online surveys just to make sure.

I can't mention the names here because I don't want to get sued. I just don't include them in my free list of survey sites. It's free for everyone to use and I found all the "good" companies by trying them out for myself. I am an affiliate for a lot of the companies listed and I use that money to keep the site going. I could also get paid from the companies that I don't list but the whole point of me starting the list and putting it out there was to keep people from getting scammed. I belong to a lot of message boards that deal with scams and I always hate to see these free lists come up that list those companies just so the owners can make money. I do NOT know that the poster is the owner of the board that was listed or that was what the intent was. It may just truly be a list that he found.
Admin: I realize this post comes close to crossing the line into an advertisement if you can find a way to edit it feel free. I just didn't know how else to answer the question. If you feel the need to delete it I will understand!

There are lots of sites which feature survey companies.
Many claim that they have done a lot of of research to select the best survey companies, which is not at all true. You can find out that they have just made a site to promote the best offers for themselves.
Anyway they may be better than sites which ask for your money to give you a list of survey companies

That is true, just this morning I was "sifting" through lists to find companies that aren't out to scam others. It was quite a process and reminded me how bad it is out there. A couple of things to watch for when you are signing up for surveys: The most obvious to me is any company that says you can get something great for completing offers, these are often disguised as "survey" sites. "get a free ipod, get a free computer, sign up for a $500 shopping spree, etc.
Sites that ask you a lot of irrelevent questions. I backed out of one today because they wanted to know what magazines I subscribed to, if I had cable or satelite etc. If a survey company is interested in those things for a valid survey they will generally ask those questions in a screener not while you are joining. When you join a valid survey site you will typically be asked basic demographics, age, location, sex, number of children and their ages, type of work you do and maybe a couple more. Always be very careful!

Hello Forum
Some of these sites have a waiting period until they pay off. I am just now getting paid by Panda, and it's paying okay. I am also using NFO, Greenfield and Global Test Market. I am making slow but steady progress. I decided that I would only do surveys that paid off in cash, not prizes. The only drawback I found was that I got more unwanted emails from affiliates of some of the survey places I signed up for. They were easy enough to unsubscribe from, however. I think I'll stick with these sites for a while. It's more like a hobby than a job, but every little bit of money helps at my house.

Robin, all very great sites that you mention. I just wanted to point out that if you mean you don't take the surveys that offer to put you in a drawing, such as marie brighton, npdor and a few others that you are probably missing out on some good money. I have had numerous ones from npdor especially that start out as drawings but lead to product tests and payment. For a long time I did like you and only took the ones that offered cash incentives. They were few and far between and I couldn't figure out why everyone else was getting paying offers. It was a because I was ignoring those drawing surveys. They do two things, one they get you through that "waiting period" you have discovered and two they are also the ones that lead to better things!

I have tried the survey gammit and so foar have got nothing but ads in my e-mail for more surveys, and offers for things I never wanted in the first place.

Ok as I see it, I have tried many a money venture on the web. I see nothing that works for making money unless you do as all the others and make up a scam!
As for surveys, I have made money on http://www.gozingsurveys.com
If you call $1 per random survey income???
I have made $4 in 6 months thru them and spent no money, just countless hours half way through a survey and "You're not qualified" comes up often.
Good Luck all, if you ever find a winner, let us know.

There are a lot of legitimate ways to make money. I only take surveys as a little extra income and I love it when I qualify for the product trials and the higher paying trials. I do it for FUN and that makes the difference. To earn my actual income I run a website and a blog that teaches people how to work at home legitimately (no scams allowed). I get paid through affiliate marketing, adsense, linkshare, etc. I also sell on ebay. It is up to me how much money I make each month. If you are looking for the easy money or the get rich quick scheme you WILL be disappointed. I work 8-14 hrs a day but the benefit is that I do it from home and on my own schedule. You get out of it whatever you put into it.

Quoting: RedRobin I have been dealing with several online survey sites. My favorites so far are Greenfield and Global Test Network. Both send me surveys to do pretty frequently.
This works mostly for people in US and Canada right? Are there any such reliable survey sites in India or even in Asia?
Any Asians here, please respond with your message directing to the best!!

I've did surveys before for money. I never received any money though. Most of the surveys would enter me into some type of sweepstake drawing or after I have filled out some entry questions to do a particular survey, it would say I was not qualified to do the survey. That happened a lot. That's my experience, I wouldn't want to waste my time again.

That is expected to happen. Research companies are looking for certain demographics. If they want to test a new bra on women ages 25-30 and you are a woman who just turned 24 or a man, you are not going to make it into the study. However if you happen to be a 27 year old woman who buys bras 6 times a year you are probably going to qualify for a free bra and a payment when the study is done. Again, if you are looking to make a living taking surveys don't waste your time but if you want some extra cash and a lot of free products sign up and have fun!

Hi there. First off a quick introduction. I live in the midwest and have been doing surveys for about 3 months now. I regularly make at a minimum $20 a week and I would say average about $100 a month. It takes work and some followthrough, but the play money is great!

Hi Forum,
I am finally starting to see some return from PandaResearch. You need to sign up for free trials that can turn into money if you don't keep track of what you've signed up for. I've pretty much decided it's not worth the effort with them.
There are other totally free surveys to do for points that turn into prizes or money, but these are slow to make return. I enjoy the surveys at Global Test Network. These are real surveys, not deals to sign up for something for a free trial. I hope Global Test Network lets me know where to get those custom make articles of intimate apparel. They have me all psyched up to get underwear that actually fits and offers great colors.
I ended up signing up for lots of surveys. I like Greenfield and Global Test Network the best. I also unsubscribed to lots of surveys, due to excess advertising emails. I am probably done with this interesting bunch of research for our cause, and will probably not write much about this subject again. I'll check for questions every now and then, because I like the information I get, and the great ways I learn to make money at home from this forum. Thanks for the great information.
Robin

Similar to RedRobin, I also signed up for tons and tons of sites...and since then have unsigned up for a bunch of them that were spam. And yes, there is money to be made in referring people to sites, but I only really see benefits from referring people to sites that actually pay you.
I do end up seeing about $80-100 a month. It doesn't end up being that time consuming and I actually think it's a lot of fun. Ends up being our "fun money" for new household stuff, movies, etc.

It is possible to get paid reasonable amounts of money from completing online surveys but only if you join several different ones, however, it is highly unlikely you will ever earn enough just from completing surveys to be able to give up your current job. However, if you are a student a stay at home mom or are retired they could certainly be worth your while.
In general for completing each survey you can expect to be paid paid between �1-�5 ($2-$10), some surveys do pay significantly more but it just depends on the individual survey itself.
If each survey company offers you at least 2 surveys a month and you join 10 survey companies and complete 20 surveys a month you should be able to earn about �750 ($1,500) a year, which is not bad for just a couple of hours each month.
