Top Eleven Survey Sites For Side Income

Answering surveys are one of the best ways to earn money on the side. Before my blog started producing income for me, I did try multiple survey sites. Although you don’t usually earn a lot of money answering surveys, the income is not negligible either. This an attempt to list the best survey sites that produce legitimate income for the users.

Top 10 Survey Sites to Earn Money

 

While it is true that answering paid surveys can be a great way to augment your income, it can be quite complicated to point out which sites are scams and which ones are legit.

There’s no particular order, if you have enough time on hand, I’d encourage you to sign up for as many sites as possible. The competition is tough and you’ll have to apply for most of the surveys and you may not get approved for all of them. So have your options wide open.

Also, at the same time, keep in mind answering surveys can’t make you rich, not even in 20 years. They are just a way to earn 5 – 10 bucks a day, not more than that. So have your expectations close to reality.

Do remember though that earning money by answering a survey is more like a minimum wage job. So this can’t be a replacement for your day job. Rather, during off-hours, if it’s at all possible to spend some time alone, you would make the best use of the time by participating in these surveys.

Competition is tough, multiple individuals are trying to compete for a survey, so it boils down to grabbing the offers before anyone else does. So, as many offers you have, the better you are. sign-up for all the survey sites, I listed the links as well, to get maximum offers coming your way.

Here are ten legit survey websites that are proven tried and tested and are considered as honest and decently paying sites

  • Inbox Dollars

This site has been in the business for a long time. They offer a starter bonus which is provided just for signing up on their site. Once you register, there are different ways to make money on the site. You can sign up for offers, take surveys or get rewarded for making referrals.

Inbox Dollars not only pays you to answer a survey, but it does pay when you view an advertisement, play a game and browse partner offers. Also, you’ll get a $5 signup bonus after signing up.

You can request a cheque once you accumulated a balance of $30. At first, it will take 2 months to get the first check but after that, it’s easier and faster. The cheque is mailed to the participant’s home address. Join Inbox Dollars today!

  • Grab Points

If you want to become the voice of the consumer, GrabPoints makes you simplest for you. Grab offers from their app, use your phone to complete a survey which will grab points for you. At the end of the day grab a gift card from the points you earned. It’s that simple. Because it’s so technology savvy, we rank this company at the top.

  • Swagbucks

This is my favorite site. Swagbucks is most reputed and has the maximum user base. Naturally, most businesses come to Swagbucks with their survey needs. you’ll never have a dearth of surveys here. What is most sweet is that you get paid even for browsing the internet, going to their partner sites, playing specific video games and watching commercials.

  • National Consumer Panel

I love this panel. It can be time-consuming but I am now in a great routine and it is easy. Our family has come up with a system to keep us on track. I get lots of opportunities to complete surveys for extra points. I love this opportunity! Once you signup, they will send you a scanner to scan your purchases. You’ll then get survey opportunities based on your scan history.

This is a legitimate business, which is run by a joint venture between AC Neilson and IRI. Some consumers did report a slow place of point accumulation and limited options to redeem your earned points. But overall, I am satisfied with my earnings. Join NCP today.

  • Opinion Outpost

This site comes with countless of various prizes and rewards for their participants. For every completed survey, the participant obtains a predetermined number of points.

You can get any gift card you wish from Harris Poll.

Point accumulation is a bit slow compared to other survey sites, as you get no more than 10 survey invitations in a month. Still, in combination with other surveys, Harris Poll presents offers some handsome changes every month.

      in fact all of these are useful, they’ll surely pay you. The differentiating factors are no. of opportunities and average payment per survey.

    I used to do surveys with e-rewards for airline miles, and they were good because once you started a survey, even if you were not selected to continue to the end, you would still get $0.25. Do any of these operate in a similar way? The downside was that with e-rewards, you could not redeem for cash, only for points/miles.
