10 More Legitimate Paid Surveys To Make Money With
Legitimate paid online surveys are a great source of legitimate work from home jobs. Although for most people getting paid to do online surveys will not replace their day job, it provides a great opportunity for them to make extra money working from home. Sadly though, scammers have made it harder to find legitimate free paid surveys sites that do actually reward their members for taking online surveys. But, if you dig deep and do your research, you can find legit survey sites. I have complied a list of what I think are some of the best paid survey companies around. Here are 10 legitimate paid surveys:
Valued Opinions ![]()
Another great paid survey company. Expect to receive a lot of surveys after you sign up. Once you have accumulated $25 in your account, you can redeem it for gift certificates from stores like Amazon.com which are sent to your email immediately. Reaching the minimum requirement is very easy since they send lots f surveys and an average survey from Valued Opinions pays about $3
Vindale Research![]()
Vindale Research is more of a get paid to review products kind of research company. They send you different kinds of products to test. Product test surveys pay between $5 and $75 on average. Beside the drinks and foods that you get to drink and eat as a part of testing products, the good thing is that you get to keep the other kinds of products at no cost to you (electronics, household times and etc).
GlobalTestMarket![]()
GlobalTestMarket is powered by one of the world’s leading providers of market research GMI (Global Market Insite, Inc.). That alone was enough to convince me to join GTM, when I was trying to make money with paid surveys. They also send a lot of surveys (close to 15 surveys a week). Average survey lasts about 6 minuets or so and pays between 50 to 200 market points (1000 MP= $50). You get paid when you have $50 in your account, which is sent to you by check. GTM also operates and accept members from these countries; GlobalTestMarket UK – GlobalTestMarket CANADA – GlobalTestMarket AU
Opinion Outpost![]()
Located near salt lake city Utah, OpinionOutpost is part of Western Wats, a very well-known market research company. Each paid surveys takes an average of 5 minuets, and pays anywhere from 1$ to up to $15. Minimum payment is $10 and your paid by check. OpinionOutpost accepts hispanic members and members from a few different countries; Opinion Outpost CANADA – Opinion Outpost HISPANIC – Opinion Outpost UK
MobileXpression![]()
If you are a cell phone lover, you are going to love this. MobileXpression is about the only legitimate (at least that I know of) free online survey site dedicated to mobile research. When you register, you give them your phone number whcih is then used to send you Mobil surveys and that is why MobileXpression pays much higher for an average survey than other survey sites.
My View![]()
My View (previously known as Survey Direct), is more of a game and movie based research company and that means fun! Whenever there is a new movie, tv show or game, expect to receive a survey. With most of their surveys you simply watch a few minuets of a movie, tv show or a game and answer questions about it. However, they do send out surveys about other topics like food, books and finance as well. But, since they are a well known company for game and movie research, its fair to say that MyView focuses more on movie and game related surveys. There is a minimum of $25 required for cashing out and you get paid via PayPal.
Global Survey Group![]()
Another legit online survey site is Global Survey Group. An average survey from Global Survey Group takes approximately 7 minutes to complete. Their surveys are mostly focused on retailers and clothing companies. While some surveys have a predetermined reward, many will give you a chance to enter Sweepstakes as well.
ZoomPanel![]()
ZoomPanel, a legitimate and very trusted research company is a part of MarketTools, Inc. ZoomPanelists (as survey takers are called) receive rewards by qualifying for and completing online surveys. For each completed survey you receive ZoomPoints that are redeemable for popular movies, music, electronics, and other prizes. They have a huge selection of prizes you can redeem your points for. ZoomPanel surveys are often interactive along with images and short videos, which makes taking surveys for ZoomPanel a fun experience.
Survey Panel Group![]()
Survey Panel Group is another legitimate paid survey company almost the same as the GSG with one huge difference, they have more sweepstakes prizes than predetermined prize for each survey.
PineCone Research![]()
PineCone Research is without a doubt one of the best paid survey companies I have ever known. The great thing about PineCone is that most of their surveys take less than ten minutes to complete and pay between $3 to $8. Another interesting thing is their product test surveys. Basically, they send you products (gums, perfume, soda, frozen food and more) to test and evaluate. You use the products and after a week or so, they will send you a five minuets surveys about it asking about your experience about the product. Product test surveys usually pay above $10.
PineCone pays by check and there is no minimum requirement for cash out. Every time you complete a survey, your check for that survey will be send to you the next day or so! That is why I believe PineCone is one of the best paid surveys sites.
These are some of the best paid survey companies around. It won’t cost you a dime to join them, they are all free surveys sites. They have been around for a long time and thousands of people have participating in their paid surveys as a way to earn extra money on the internet. If you are serious about taking surveys and want to make money taking surveys, be sure to check out my huge list of legitimate paid surveys.

It is nice of you though to share those things with your readers, and I am quiet convinced that plenty would qualify.
Good luck,

Helen, I am afraid that PinCone doesn’t accept members from Sweden and also at this time, I think they only accept members by invitation only.
However, there are other survey sites that do accept members from Sweden like SurveySavvy and GlobalTestmarket. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Good luck Helen.

Hey you forgot to mention NPD Research. NPD Research pays you in points instead of dollars but the points can be used to enter contests. You can make alot of money by winning their contests.

Thanks for the link cory, the only reason i didn’t list NPD here was because i havnt had a personal experience with it. i have been scammed and not paid many times when i started doing paid surveys about 6 years ago. and as you know there are still a lot of “paid survey” scams out there,so i want to make sure i interduse my readers to legitimate and paying survey sites. since you have mentioned it, how is your experience? i mean how many surveys a week usually you get? what’s the average payment and do they pay on time?
let me know your experience. and ill try to find their banner and add it to the list.
