Taking surveys is a super easy way to make money and is the very first thing I tried. The amount of money you can earn taking surveys varies greatly. I personally earned around $0.50 $5.00 per survey when I did this.
If you want to give this a try I want you to keep a couple things in mind. First and foremost, taking surveys can be frustrating. If there is a “pre-qualifier” to a survey (meaning you take a survey to see if you qualify for a survey) then you’re going to spend a pretty decent amount of time to earn a paltry amount. Second, taking surveys is meant as supplementary income and you definitely shouldn't expect to replace your day job with it.
Since you'll likely only get a few surveys each month from each site it's good to sign up with several different survey panels if you want to earn some spending money.
