My Guide To Paid Survey Sites

dangermouse83

Hello everyone,

I Hope I'm posting this in the right place and correctly...

I thought I'd let you know of the survey sites I'm with and info about each one. I hope you find them useful...

There are many sites that don't pay up, and after finding out the hard way, I decided to let people know

Here goes....

yougov - been with since May 06, Monthly surveys if not more frequent, earned £33.50 so far. Payment for surveys roughly 50p-£1 and you need to have £50 in your account before cashing in. Good site, slow to earn.

globalopinionpanels- Been with since March 06, almost daily surveys that pay you in points rather than cash. 18000 points = £10. I've earned 12840 points so far.

ciao - been with since Sep 2005, regular surveys with different levels of payment (usually 60p-£1.50). Surveys can go on for a while and then screen out, meaning you don't get paid. Money you cash in goes into your bank account and can take a few weeks. In total, I've had £65.

globaltestmarket- Been with these guys since 2005. They send almost daily surveys, and you get rewarded in Marketpoints. 1000 points is needed to convert to cash, and each point is worth 5 US cents. I have 1703 points, god knows how much that is! They send you a cheque in your local currency, which is always a bonus.

valuedopinions is great, only been a member since the start of this year and have already had over £30 worth of amazon vouchers. The surveys pay really well (usually 50p to £1.50) and the surveys are very frequent.

test and vote are interesting. I've been with them for roughly 2 years and never had an invirte to test a product, although I've registered for loads. I have had loads of surveys, which pay 1500+ points per survey. Points mount up quickly, I've had around 50 quid out of them, but the vouchers take a long time to get to you! 60000 points is £12 HMV vocher, and there's other things to convert points to.

home of research are good, been with since 2006 and earned £25. Good surveys and frequent. Pay out in points. Cash in at 2000 points (£20) and they send you a cheque. They have just added select panels, which increase earnings.

that's what i think are really good too. Not been with them long, and points add up quickly. Got 2100 points, you need 1500 for an amazon voucher. Good site if you go to the cinema often, as that's what a lot of their surveys are about. Good rewards for surveys, but they are not that frequent for me as I don't go to the pictures that often!

opinionworld send out loads of surveys. You don't get paid for surveys which is pants, but you're entered into a prize draw. I have never won anything. I have received the odd £2 credit for surveys and have done the (very) odd trial for them such as shampoo and 6 months of reviewing Cosmopolitan magazine.

it's your view, the "earn £1 for every 5 minutes of your time" one. Not very freuent surveys, been with a few months and earned 26 points (50 points + £50). Seem pretty good.

bzzagent seems good, you get free products to try. It's all about "WOM" (word of mouth) and you need to report back to them every time you use or talk about the product to others. I've had the niquitin trial, vouchers and toys, and also the Intuition razor from them too. Can be a pain in the rer reporting all the time.

ACOP were great with sending out surveys and the payment was good. I have fallen out with them though as they have deleted my account and therefore lost all my earnings! !!!!!!!

paid surveys isn't really woth it, as it's mainly for the US, unless you're a company exec or something. Get frequent surveys inviting me to $20, but I never qualify.

Ipsos are BY FAR one of the best sites. I get telephone surveys from them, text and postal surveys regularly and have had £60 off them in WH smith vouchers and highstreet vouchers in the last 6 months. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

GFK... crikey, they have LOADS of survey sites....
what I buy are good, you record monthly of any household purchases. No payment for surveys, but you get put into a monthly prize draw. Have won £15 Amazon vouchers this year from them.
cosumerjury is a new one of GFK... invitation only i think. Only been with these a month, so can't really tell
TV and radio appreciation is great! I have won around £50 of amazon/HMV vouchers from these guys. Seen elsewhere on the forum about their toolbar, for which you get paid £5 for downloading. (It used to be £10!). You fill in your TV, radio and internet viewing habbits and get put into a prize draw. Try and do the everyday for increased chances.

survey response sorry can't find their site! not worth it anyhow, had £5 over 2 years.

surveyspot are ok, you get the odd cheque (dollars, but converted to pounds) but as a rule, no payment. You get entered into prize draws, but I've not won anything yet!

pureprofile been with these guys for ages, and have earned £16.50. Just remember to fill out ALL of your profile to increase invites to surveys, which I didn't, hence the long time earning. Average 1 survey a week at 20p to £1.50 reward.

songpeople is great. Regular surveys, asking you to rate songs and bands and even watch music videos and rate them. No payment per survey, but they are fun and you get put into a prize draw to win all sorts of things. I have won 2 CD top 10 albums in the short time i've been with them.

Golden rule is to keep profiles updated to get more surveys. The more you do the more you'll get refered to other sites.
I am a member of a few more (!) but they're not worth mentioning.
I need to get out more... Sorry for the long windedness... hope it helps. Shame I couldn't put referral links on! lol! :beer:

brilliant.. thanks for all of that, I've been a member of some of those fora few years and some I've recently joined. I do Ipsos, Valued Opinions (I've found those a struggle to actually complete most of theirs, so it's slow for me personally), Lightspeed, Juicybrains and I've recently joined Test& vote.. oh and I do Bzz agent too, but only had one product, not sure I'll keep this one up as it is a pain having to do word of mouth, I do it naturally if I want to, then reporting on it). Might try a few others though.

Yes, it is. I can't remember exactly, but I think you have to have an invite, and unfortunately other members can't refer you.
Also, one not mentioned, which I use regularly and have had quite a few Amazon vouchers from is www.juicybrainspanel.com
You tend to get £1 per survey - one sent roughly every 1 or 2 weeks, and even if you are screened out they pay you 25p
