I actually have a blog dedicated to survey sites and have payment proof posted on there as well. My favorites are Lightspeed, mysurvey, survey savvy, survey spot and of course Pinecone research. My blog explains a lot about survey sites so if you want to take a look at here is the link: http://surveydirectory.blogspot.com Each survey site ranges in what they pay some just give $1.00 - $3.00 surveys and others pay you from $5-$20. Usually when you are paid around $10 - $20 for a survey you will have to test a product or the survey will be 45 - 60 minutes long. I did a 45 minute survey on chocolate and got $15 for my participation. One thing is that it does help to signup with more than one survey site just because you will get more survey invites. Not every survey site hosts the same surveys since they have contracts with different companies. For example one survey site might have contracts with beauty and hair products companies and another survey site might have contracts with just food companies. So to better your chances of participating in surveys you would probably want to sign up with a couple, then when you get the hang of them you can sign up with a couple more sites. I hope this helps you somewhat, i am kinda in a rush otherwise I would explain more. •¤•Good Luck•¤•

Unfortunately Mylot doesn't have the option for members to edit their posts. I'm pretty sure they won't delete your post because the guidelines state: "Post any links promoting other affiliate programs or that do not pertain to the discussion. Posting the same link over and over or posting links that have no relevance to the discussion is not allowed." They are more worried about direct links to affiliate programs since it could be a competitor with Mylot, even though Mylot is clearly more rewarding since you not only share opinions and ideas but also make friends in the process. Also my link pertained to the discussion, you asked if anyone knew about paid survey sites and how much they really pay and my blog provides that information to you. I think if my post was just a line or two and then I added my blog link, they may not like that very much since we are suppose to give quality posts...... but I think my post consisted of quality. If I could remove the link I would, just to be safe, but that isn't the case. If your post does get deleted I am truly sorry, but I think they have newbie spammers to take care of. If you still want me to send you the link to my blog I will, and if you have any questions I would be happey to help you as much as I can.

intel0614: InboxDollars and CashCrate do not sell your info and give you spam, the third party companies do that. When you fill out those offers, you are giving them permission to spam you. I think InboxDollars and CashCrate should inform its members to make a separate email address to complete offers with but then again its the members responsibility to read the terms of service and privacy policies of each site they enter their info on. So technically you are causing yourself to get spam. InboxDollars and CashCrate are okay for offers, InboxDollars has higher offers than CashCrate but then CashCrate has better paying daily surveys compared to InboxDollars. I personally like SwatCash better when it comes to Gpt sites like these, but the daily surveys on any Gpt site aren't as well paying compared to a good survey site.

I am a member of few survey websites, my favourites are onepoll, which has quite a few short surveys for about 10p. It is not much, but they are quick to do. The other survey site is Lightspeed, which gives you about 110 points on average (just short of £1), the most I have earned is 500 points, which is just short of £5. So it is quite a good earner when you do get the surveys.
