Taking Surveys - The Best List Update
There is a twist in this that I didn't expect. After several months of hanging in there, I began to receive more cash paying surveys. After almost a year, most of the survey invites I have are paid with cash or gift certificates. The amount of survey requests have become very steady, I generally have about 7 a day on average.
So if you are frustrated by getting many surveys, but few seem to offer cash incentives, hang in there. I am not sure if it is because the reward loyalty and reliability, but they do pay off in time. Remember also that they do on occassion put in quality control questions to make sure your not just checking off answers randomly.
The best paying survey sites that I have found are:
Testspin (Which now are offering many Canadian Surveys)
Clearvoice surveys
Web Perspectives
TNS
These have consistant invitations (1-4) per day. Testspin always has a cash incentive that is redeemable, Clearvoice offers cash redeemable, and Web Perspectives offers sweepstake entries, focus group cash, and some surveys pay cash (Paypal or other options). TNS frequently offers gift certificates for Amazon and Sweepstake entries.
If you sign up for a list of paying sites, make sure these ones are included, you won't regret it.
