How To Make Money Doing Surveys
Did you know you can make money doing surveys? In fact many people, including myself, make a full time living taking online surveys.
Are you thinking why do you get paid for simply taking online surveys? It’s because big companies are keen to get the views and opinions of consumers so that they can create better products and services. They pay market research firms to go and get consumer reviews so they can produce a better end product.
How much can you make? As you’ll see by the screenshot to the right, I make a few hundred dollars each week with survey sites. Many people make $30-$50 an hour and it’s common to be able to make $2-3,000+ a month.
The disbelievers call this a ‘scam’. The only scam related to survey sites are those that ask you to pay to join. NEVER join any of those survey sites. E.g. punch in something like ‘CashCrate scam or not‘. Note: it’s not!
Here’s my list of the top legitimate survey sites that I earn my income with. All of these are free to join and have been established for several years.
1. CashCrate
This is my biggest money maker for several reasons. Firstly, there’s always an opportunity to make money with it somehow and you don’t need to wait to get emailed offers. Whenever you login to the site you will see lists of different offers and surveys that you can take and you can get going immediately.
Each offer or survey only takes a minute or two to do so you’ll start racking up the dollars in no time. They also have a great affiliate program which helps you increase your earnings exponentially. Here’s a few of their quick stats:
- Minimum Age to do surveys – Just 13
- 1st Tier Referral Earnings – 20%
- 2nd Tier Referral Earnings – 10%
- Extra Bonus – $3 for any referral that earns $10
- Allows international membership
- Payment Method – By Check or PayPal
- Membership Fee – Free to join
I recommend you watch this video to understand how the site works:
You really can make good money with them and don’t become one of the many who just joins and does nothing. Actually take a few offers and watch your balance rise. Go and send your friends and family your referral link – you’ll be doing them a favour. Sign up here.
2. SurveySavvy
This is my second best money maker as although they don’t offer surveys that frequently, the payouts are good. My record is $50 for a 30 minute survey. As mentioned, you’ll probably only get a survey through every few weeks but it’s worth joining.
The following survey sites are ones that I tackle sporadically. I you want to make thousands a month with survey sites you need to sign up to as many legit sites as possible to maximise the number that come through. Although you can keep going with CashCrate, it is nice to mix it up sometimes. So, here’s my list of other legit survey sites that you should join if you want a consistent stream of surveys and in order to maximise income.
