Yes, It IS Possible to Make Money with Online Surveys

Like I said before, if you stick to the reputable survey sites out there and are consistent in your survey-taking efforts, there's no reason why you can't pull in at least a hundred bucks a months in cash and other rewards. How you use your cash and gift cards is up to you, but I always recommend keeping the big picture in mind.

Inbox Dollars (Hey, Here's Another Free $5 )

Another huge name in the industry, and another company that is willing to give you $5 just for signing up with them. Are you noticing a pattern here? Your opinion is WORTH REAL MONEY.

One neat little feature with Inbox Dollars is the option to play games and compete for rewards. It's not my thing, personally, but if you're into that, go for it. Otherwise, they have cash back programs similar to Swagbucks (plus surveys and all the other basics, of course).

Global Test Market

This is a really straightforward site, which is a big reason why I included them on this list. You simplysign up . enter some basic information about you and your household (so they can match you up with eligible surveys), and get started.

They work on a points system, much like the other sites I've listed. Once you earn a certain amount of MarketPoints , you can redeem them for purchases with a bunch of different big name merchants, including Amazon.

According to their site, they paid out over $32 million in rewards to their members in 2017. And of course, registration as a member is FREE (as are all the others on this list, btw…c'mon, what sort of operation do you think we're running here?)

Survey Junkie (Quickest to Start Earning Money)

Survey Junkie is SUPER straightforward, which is why I put it at number 2 on my list. They've got over 5,000,000 members, which makes them one of the top dogs in the game. Signing up is also really easy - you can just log in using Facebook (and no, they don't post anything to your profile and they won't spam you).

Swagbucks (They Give you $5 Just for Signing Up )

Once I got past the gimmicky sounding name, I was able to see how Swagbucks is one of the most respected companies in the online survey space.

Here's how it works: for every survey you take, you are compensated in Swagbucks , also called SBs. You accumulate SBs, then convert them into cash, gift cards, or PayPal credit (aka cash ).

Here's a screen grab from their website these guys are the real deal (plus, they have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau):

As it turns out, surveys are not the only way to make money with Swagbucks (which is why I love them so much). They have a bunch of different ways for you to earn:

My advice?

Use their web search tool (not a search engine, they just want to know what people search for), play videos on silent in another tab as you go about your day, and do a couple surveys a day when you're bored at work. If you can consistently do that, your cash and rewards will add up quicker than you think. You've got nothing to lose by signing up!

You Need to Register with Several Survey Sites In Order To Make the Most Money

There are a ton of survey sites out there for you to choose from. Some of them can look pretty spammy and don't pay very well, but there are several reputable ones that are known for high payouts and a quality user experience .

I'm going to cover what I think are the best ones in this post. I recommend signing up for each of them, as that will give you the best return on your time (and you know I'm all about that).

Side note: It might be a good idea to set up a separate email to use for survey sites, just to keep your normal inbox clean and tidy. You'll still need to verify your email address though, so make sure you put in a legit email when you sign up!

So, without further ado, here are my top survey site recommendations. I can personally vouch for the quality of each of these sites, and wouldn't recommend anything to you that I don't think is a great gig.
