Paid Survey Sites that Actually Pay

Is the world of paid surveys a scam? Is it simply too good to be true? The answer to these questions is yes and no. There are several paid survey sites that are scams and several that are reputable and pay. The pay varies and can sometimes seem like a waste of
 time, making it too good to be true. If you are in need of a supplemental income, then paid to read surveys is not going to provide this. If you like to share your opinion and receive a small income and other rewards, then paid to read surveys can actually be worthwhile and even fun. The following is a list of reputable survey sites. I have personally been paid by all of these sites and highly recommend them.

Pinecone Research
www.pineconeresearch.com

Pinecone research is a paid survey site that offers $5 for every completed survey. Their surveys generally take about 10 minutes to complete. It can be difficult to get into Pinecone Research since they do not regularly take new sign ups. The way to join is by finding a sign up banner that can be on any number of other web sites. Simply perform a search and you should be able to find the banner. Currently, Pinecone pays by sending out checks but they are in the process of offering Paypal as an option as well. Pinecone research is one of the most reliable paid survey sites out there.

Survey Savvy
www.surveysavvy.com

Survey Savvy is another fantastic paid survey site. The surveys range in monetary value and length, but all surveys are paid in cash. You will receive survey invites several times a month, although you may not qualify to finish all of them. Survey Savvy does always accept new members. They also have a referral program so that you can make money from the surveys your referrals complete. You can cash out your account when it reaches $4 which is quite easy to do since most of the paid surveys are at least that much and you receive $1-$2 for every survey your referral completes. Currently, Survey Savvy is sending out checks. Survey Savvy is a great paid survey site, especially if you can build up a lot of referrals.

wow. This is really great information. I had never heard of making money doing surveys online before. Thanks! This will get me closer to that Macbook I'm saving up for!

Thanks for the info.! I'm looking into trying other paid survey sites since I'm tired of it taking forever to get up to 1000 points ($10) with the Carol Adams/My Survey/NFO site.

The SurveySavvy survey site is the only one out of all the survey sites that worked for me :/ ... only good part about it is you get like $2 for each one they send you and u get like 5 a month.

Heather; Great Article. I was signed up 'accidently'(trying to get a free PSP) with Survey Spot several weeks ago. I haven't seen any invites for any Paid Surveys. Just entries into the $25K drawing. I took one survey that gave an estimated length of 10minutes. I gave up after 45 minutes of answering questions. How often do the paid ones come along. I get invites for like 3 or 4 a day sometimes none of them are paid. The others are working out rather well for me though Thanks for the INfo.

Pinecone Research is a great company who I have been using for about 6 years now. The $5 they pay isn't amazing but it deffinately helps and only takes a few minutes of your time. They also, to a few select researchers, send you free things. I've tried out sandwich bags and a salad shaker cup so far.

I used to get paid $10-$50 for online surveys but that company stopped paying and began giving you chances to win money... that's just NOT the same!
