Best Paying Survey Sites?

Want to get in on this again to earn some extra $ in spare time,
Registered with Mysurvey which actually have lots of surveys but I don't really want to waste my time when I can barely earn 2quid/an hour doing those surveys even when doing them faster then the time said it takes to do them.

Anyone knows any other survey site or similar site which has plenty of surveys as mysurvey has but allows to earn at least £4/hour?

    I don't think there is any survey site that would offer this as it wouldn't make much business sense from their perspective. I neither think anyone has done such a calculation.

    You may try Swagbucks to earn a bit more though.

    tried that some time ago it was way worse than mysurveys
  • I have the same goal as you poipo but unfortunately there is no magical site like that.
    What I tend to do is make my selection of sites that agree with me and work in all of them hard.


    I have posted this in another thread, that's my personal take on the survey sites:


    1. Swagbucks - hate it... very confusing, not enough surveys, didn't work for me. Cashed £ 5 Amazon voucher and escaped.
    2. Ipsos - surveys are rare but very good value. There is no cash available. I use it for Amazon vouchers which I get immediately after cashing out.
    3. Opinion Outpost - very new to it so haven't cashed anything out, read good reviews that they pay immediately, reasonable flow of surveys.
    4. Global Test Market - heavy work load, loads surveys but more often than not get screened out, long wait for money, less wait for vouchers. Yet one of the my top lucrative sites.
    5. My survey - almost the same as Gobal Test Market but lower threshold. Recent weeks no surveys but I had loads in the past so hopefully it is just temporay
    6. Crowdology - surveys scarce but on the positive side low threshold and instant payment
    7. One Poll - very hard to reach the cash out £ 40 pounds but on the plus side surveys short and sweet
    8. Toluna - loads of surveys but you get screen out all the time, looooong wait for the points to appear in your account, no Amazon vouchers, really annoying site, hopefully I cash out soon for the first time and leaving it.
    9. Newvista - rare surveys but well paid, they do only cheques though..

    There are number of topics around this forum asking / discussing similar questions and unfortunately it isn't very realistic to expect such earnings.

    This is one of them

    At the end it is about boosting your income not replacing your main income in my opinion.

    thanks bouboumum will try out that globaltestmarket as well.
    asajj- what's the point even wasting your time for less than 2quid an hour what most of the sites offers? Also Spending money to get back money (cashback) isn't exactly making money :D So not interested in that kind of stuff.

    I didn't say it is. I just pointed out a thread where similar stuff discussed and said that there are many more.
    If you find a website paying more than £4/hour I'm sure everyone will be interested in. It is just not realistic.

  • I currently use Swagbucks, My Survey, IPsos i-Say and Pinecone.

    Pinecone is the best paying one per survey.

    Although you are getting 'free money' you do have to put the time and effort in. :)

    I received a £4 survey for 20 minutes work, on Monday, from Populuslive. They pay you £1 per 5 minutes of survey you fill out. I had a £6 survey (for 30 minutes work) earlier in the month but by the time I got to it, it had closed.
  • YouGov pay well. Their surveys are usually very interesting too. But it takes you a long time to cash out, as they send relatively few surveys.

    New Vista are the same really. Good pay, but can take over a year to cash out.

    But you really want to get sent product tests or invites to online communities if you want to make the best money. For me, those kind of surveys usually come from Valued Opinions, One Poll and Ipsos.
