Online surveys update with proof of payment photos; Yes, you CAN make money from online surveys!!
- Over 17 ways to make money online, all listed in one “super post” here!!!
We have been reviewing legitimate survey sites every now and then, as online surveys are a great way to earn more free money! In our personal experience, it is definitely possible to earn good money from paid survey sites each month! So, I wanted to post an update on our current favorite online survey sites, with a quick review of each… plus some proof of payment check photos!
All of the survey sites we mention are free to sign up. The more you sign up for, the more surveys you will receive. I recommend you sign up for all of them, and create a special email account, so you can keep all the survey stuff in one place.
ADDED RECENTLY:
Surveyhead – get $5 just to sign up, pays via Paypal – I recently received a $20 survey invitation for a 15 minute survey from this site! You get paid to fill out your survey profile too! We have LOTS of readers earning LOTS of money from this site!
Toluna Surveys: Earn $1-$5 each time you qualify and take surveys. Test products for free and share your opinions! Plus you will get an entry for a $5,000 sweepstakes when you register!

Send Earnings– get $5 to sign up, a sister site to Inbox Dollars, very similar

***And, even though it’s not technically not a “paid survey” company, we also get money by reading emails:
Hits4Pay – get $10 to sign up, get paid to read emails, cash out at $25, paid via Paypal
We have been taking some photos of our checks from these companies over the last few months, and we are including some of them here as proof of payment for you! We generally cash out as soon as we get to the minimum payment level for each site (which is $5 or $10 in many cases). This means we may get more than one check from the same company each month. Some companies, like Surveyhead, pay via Paypal.
Here are some proof of payment checks (TNS = MySurvey):
when doing these surveys, are you required to participate or buy things
Hi Kathy,
A real, true legit survey site will NOT make you buy anything or pay a fee to be a member. We have done several product trials and they will mail you whatever the product is… paper towels, corn, you name it… they ship it to you. We laughed because we had one trial for corn, they paid 5.xx for postage on a 1.00 can of corn.
There are also sites that lean towards get paid to try, they aren’t really survey sites, but you can get rewards for doing things you might buy anyway.
Good luck!
Do you use a software program that fills in parts of the survey for you? There is one I’ve heard of called Roboform or something like that. Do you know anything about it?
We do not use roboform.
Pincone is also a great survey site they are legit they send you products to try and pay you $3.00 for the first survey and upon completion of the product they pay you again either by check or paypal
Are there any survey sites that just send you the surveys you qualify for?
Or do you have to always fill out mini serveys just to see if you qualify for what they are looking for?
I feel like I am qualified for most of the ways to make money at home on the internet. I can’t wait to get started. We need the money to pay off debt. We are living on one income but have previously lived on two. I charged alot which was a huge mistake but we were also able to pay it on time.Then I got sick had to take off work and when I was ready to go back my boss didn’t have any work for me. My husband thinks I need to not work any more because of personal reasons. We are in debt from me buying alot of things charging them. I also have had a lot of
medical bills for the last year and continue to have them. I would love to get out of debt and live on my husband’s salary which is very much possible if we didn’t have so many credit cards to pay on.
anyone heard of focus forward online? what do you think about it? i participate in many survey companies and have gotten checks, they are usually found out about by ur webiste or a trusted person. However, my mom sent me a link to one she signed up for (she dosen’t know much of what she is doing) so I signed up. About a week after signing up I get a survey offer where they will call my house and do a 30min survey and I will get paid $50 for it. I went to sign up for it to see if I qualify but was scared to give out phone number considering I have no proof if this company is legit. Hoping someone here will know more.
i would like yo make money
