The Best Paid Online Surveys

I put a lot of time into creating these pages about paid online surveys. There are so many offers selling access to survey sites. I was certain that it would be possible to find these sites without paying anything.

In one way I was right: it is easy to find sites that offer to pay for surveys you do. But it is difficult to distinguish between the sites of original companies that actually do the surveys with you and the sites that just promote other sites.

What can you earn?

Even more difficult is finding out what you will earn. My assistant has researched diligently and unearthed some information. 

I have signed up for most of the Australian and world survey sites. It took about 15 hours, so you can calculate an hour for each site.

The reason it takes so long is that they want really detailed information about your business and personal life. I started getting frustrated after entering the same information in the 8th site. You have to have a thick skin...

There was one survey site where I could complete a survey immediately, all others just promised to send an email when my profile fit a survey.

After about two weeks, the first email arrived, inviting me to a 15 minute survey that would pay $1.30. 

Paid Online Surveys a Home Based Business?

I do not think filling out surveys is a home based business. You are being paid a very low hourly rate. It might be a better way to spend your spare time than just mindless surfing. And it might also help you in a desperate cash situation.

But overall, I have decided not to spend any more time on Internet surveys. 

Still, I have got all the information together now, so here it is if you want to try it out.

What to do

• Most online survey sites are country specific. For paid online surveys for the USA, UK, Australia and Canada click on the links.
• World offers survey sites that allow participation from any country.
• Check that you are old enough to participate on a site.
• Please note that the figures shown in the additional information are averages for all survey participants.
• Click on a link (will open in a new window) and sign up for their service.
• The more services you sign up with, the more chances you have to earn.

Also note the minimum payout levels before you actually get cash. Because of those, it might be a few weeks before you get the first payment.

PayPal

PayPal is an online payment system that allows you to receive money over the Internet. It is very safe and absolutely free to use. (As long as you do not want to accept credit card payments. You can always upgrade to that service, when your home based business needs that.)
