What are the best paying survey sites? My husband had to quit work due to health problems, and i thought that would be something he could do to make some extra money.

I'm a member of Mysurvey.com and have been paid by them. I'm also a member of Mindfield Online, Opinion Outpost, Ipsos I-Say, and Pinecone Research. Dollarsurveys.net is also good. They pay an average of a dollar per survey.

Yes, mysurvey.com is the most legitimate site and I do participate there. It's the only one I will participate on because I trust it. I have tried mindfield and opinion outpost and ipsos, too, but never made any money there.

MySurvey.com is legitimate. So is Opinion Outpost. EDU (also called ERG) has surveys and they pay in money but they are the slowest to pay in the universe. DailySurvey.com has a lot of surveys available. They mostly pay in points, but the points can be exchanged for gift cards at Olive Garden and some other places. I always apply mine to gift cards at Amazon.Some sites offer "free trials" of products or services and you get paid after completing the trial offer. Stay away from those. They will cost you money rather than making some for you.

I've made 65 dollars on mindfield. 13 dollars on opinion outpost. 56 dollars on ipsos i-say. pinecone pays 3 dollars a survey but some of them don't pay. I also am a member of Inbox Dollars and Send Earnings. Oh and I've made 40 dollars on SurveySay.

I don't trust any of them!!!I have tried all the recommended one on the internet and all of them say they are free but after you have answered about 19 questions they will say "sorry but you don't qualify for this survey but you are rewarded 50 points" or all of a sudden you get points instead of money.It's going to be one or the other.

I have to agree with you there, maishay. I have tried several and some folks say they are making good money with a couple but when I tried them, it was nearly impossible to qualify for a survey and then when I did, the payment was rarely worth the time I spent taking the survey, much less the time I spent trying to qualify!

There are some very good sites on the internet (most of them are looking for members in the US, Canada, the UK and Australia, but there are a few others accepting overseas members) I did see comments referring to them being scams, being to hard to qualify for, the pay not being worth the time spent, etc. There are some scam sites, (I assure you, I don't have the time to bother putting forth any effort for questionable sites, much less the known scam sites)and once you get beyond those sites, and locate the legit survey sites, there are a few things to remember when it comes to qualifying... They might be looking for women age 21-30. They might only want a certain amount of people from each state. They don't want people who work or recently have worked in certain industries or they might want someone who specifically worked in certain industries. These survey sites are offering a service, they are really a middle man, offering surveys for 3rd party companies and they have to comply to what the 3rd party is looking for, and therefore, they don't come right out and tell you what type of people they are looking for. Instead, they require members to answer honestly, and either eliminate yourself, or qualify yourself to earn money from the survey (it would be easy for your husband to claim he's a 25 yo hispanic woman that is expecting a child, or claim he's a 14 yo male in order to qualify for a survey...that isn't what these sites are looking for & it truly doesn't benefit the survey company to receive skewed results just for the sake of earning a few extra $$) I noticed you are from the US, and if you are interested, I can forward you links to 3 or 4 survey sites that have paid me currently and in the past (i'll explain the "in the past" part in a private message) These sites don't pay a lot of money (usually between $2-$5 for most surveys, every so often you'll find surveys for $10+ or possibly be invited to take part in a in-home survey or test a product- which pays even more) These sites do pay, and a couple have a low payout minimum, and it is possible to reach the payout once or twice a week. Take care!

To all who doesn't believed that surveys are real legitimate - you should check first survey police if they are real or scam before you join. I did a lot of surveys from Canada and USA they are real macoy or Legit as I may say so because in my experienced taking surveys they will surely will pay you, but in order for you to make money you must have this PATIENCE thinggie in yourself taking long surveys such as 20 to 40 minutes of surveys. Surely they had this test before you take part on their surveys and make money. I too was frustrated but with eagerness to earn money you have to be more of PATIENCE again! I have a lists of good surveys that are Legit and don't expect to earn $25 to $75 surveys they are scam but those who offers $1 to $4 is the one to take or to believe that they exist as Legit. Avonlady from where are you I got only USA and Canada resident that can join in my surveys as members?

You know, I have to say survet sites are just big disappointments. I had joined several sites, but whenever I take a survey, some where along the way, a message will come up saying I am not qualified. I am not wasting my time on them any more. I am now focusing on other better ways of earning online.

As far as I know good survey sites are located and good only for people living in the United States of America...Other survey site outside US, is not good to say because as I am Asian, and a member of one of the survey site I am not yet able to reach payment yet... Have a nice day!
