Just FYI I have been working on those paid surveys I have in my linked sidebar and thought you all might want an update of how they have been paying out.
Cash Crate: LINK TO CASH CRATE
So far I got about 15 dollars in July and about 25 dollars so far in August. This one takes very little time and actually pays out pretty decently considering how little time it takes.
My Survey: LINK TO MYSURVEY
My wife has been doing this one for a long time (years) and regularly gets checks of 10 dollars to 40 dollars for surveys that usually take 5-15 minutes of time. Again, it pays decent for the little time it takes.
Survey Savvy: LINK TO SURVEY SAVVY
This one doesn’t pay quite as well, mostly because it just takes more time, but still a little extra money doesn’t hurt. This one usually makes me about $10 dollars a month for doing about 5 surveys at about 5 minutes each.
I have been researching about 20 other survey sites and trying to see how legit they are and make sure they actually pay. I will be updating you in the near future with some more paid survey sites (legit ones that actually pay decent). I have found some out there that are legit but only pay like 25 cents for 20 minutes of work. My time is worth more than 75 cents an hour, LOL.
If you are like me, the way I see it, it all adds up and at the end of the month its just an extra ten, fifty or a hundred dollars I can put towards paying off debt.
Every little bit helps, I hope this helps you too. Enjoy!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this info. I have a full time job, have a 10 month old little girl, and would like to bring in some extra cash without committing to a regular part time schedule on top of our already crazy schedule. I am going to get myself hooked up with these survey sites-I’ve always wondered how legit they were. Again, I appreciate your research because like you said every little bit counts!
I tried My Survey, but found I was only getting 10 point surveys (10 cents), and you have to get 1000 points ($10) before you can collect. I just didn’t feel like 10 cents was enough for 3-5 minutes of my time.
Pinecone Research was OK. $3 for every survey. But I have only gotten one survey offer, and they constantly want you to take profile surveys for free.
Glad you are having a better experience.
I make quite a tidy bit doing free paid surveys – the trick is to sign up to the genuine legitimate ones – Ive even made a list of them myself – check out my site!
Pinecone Research has gone through ups and downs. They aren’t always accepting new members. I do lots of surveys, and I would not recommend Pinecone Research, at least at this time. Last I heard, they are not taking new members right now, and they’ve lowered their payouts. So don’t waste your time on Pinecone. But the 3 listed here are some of the good ones.
