The idea of companies paying a select group of people for testing their new or on the market product is nothing new, in fact it has been around for as long as most of us can remember, but with the arrival of Internet it took a whole new direction, and has opened up a fantastic door of opportunity for both the companies and their consumers. it made it easy for companies to find out what the customer thinks about the product and how it might be improved by simply sending online surveys to a select group of people. at the same time it made it easier for consumer to use this opportunity to not only voice their opinion about a specific product, but also earn extra money by taking paid surveys.but for many the question is how and where do you find real and legitimate paid surveys than can help you make money? i mean they don’t really advertise much, just like for paid game reviewing (basically you play game and get paid to tell them what you think of it)since a lot of people will even do it for free. but if you look around you can find some good ones. but beaware of scams. take a look at this article for help with spoting the online money making scamms.
Any way as i promised in my Making Money Taking Paid Surveys.. article, here is a list of some of the best paid survey companies that i personally have been a member of for years, and know them to be legitimate. i hope it will be helpful. if you know of any real and legitimate paid survey that you have been benefiting from, feel free to leave a link here so others can benefit as well. good luck to all of you. so here are…

Hello,
Thanks for article. Everytime like to read you.
Elcoj
i have tried Paid Survey sites but i guess it would be worthwhile to focus more on blog monetizing rather than filling up paid survey forms.
i guess it depends on how much effort you put into it, i mean to be successful in any kind of money making method or anything in life for that matter, hard work and persistency are required. good luck.
Paid Survey programs might pay well but it is hard to find a good paid survery program on the internet. i would rather stick to good old Affiliate marketing and adsense on blogs.
I agree that it is hard to find legitimate paid surveys these days. i mean there are more scams out there than ever. but the thing is there many many real legitimate paid survey companies that operate online. it just take some time and expertise to weed out the scams from the the real ones. i am in the process of making a big list of all of them and post them here in a week or so. so be sure to check it out.
and about Affiliate marketing and adsense, i am 100% with you, its one of the best ways.
I’ve gone through a few of your articles regarding making money from different category of paying websites like GPT sites, social networks, dating ones and paid surveys.
All these articles are quite good, in fact some are extraordinary in that they tell of a paying service most of the people can’t even imagine. However many of them lack the ‘zing’ factor. In marketing, we have got two useful parameters: POP(Point of Parity) and POD (Point of Differentiation). A brand should have POPs -bare minimum essentials- of a category to be associated with the brands in that particular category. And it should have PODs in order to get ahead of the brands in that category.
YOU as a brand have been able to come up with the POPs but you haven’t got any PODs. This essentially means although most of the search engines would favor your website in the search results for carrying the right keywords in your articles, the visitors these search engines send to your website won’t spend that much time on it because you are not telling them anything radical which the other websites in ‘how-to-make-money-online’ category aren’t.
So what could you have done about it? To name just one strategy, for each of the articles that you have written listing a number of paying websites, write a detailed article for each of the websites that you have mentioned, explaining for each particular website:
1. how much money you yourself make,
2. what is the learning curve
3. How much time has to be spent daily
4. what are the pros and cons
5. what are the different payment modes
6. does the site pay promptly or delays payment without reason
7. what the shortcuts and tips that only an experienced user of the website would know.
Writing a separate for each not only would enhance your content rating, it would also make you more believable and authentic in the eyes of your users who would keep coming back for more. This would also serve as your POD as I haven’t come across any website in this particular category which is following this strategy. This is what marketing is all about.
Hope this helps.
Thank you for the info and advice Saqib Khan. i have actually been thinking about writing an article about each of these sites and some more that i know of, but i just didn’t have enough time to get it done yet, but i will be on it as soon as i can. again thank you so much for your word of wisdom.
Great article and I could not agree more, though you can make some money doing online surveys don’t go thinking this will be life changing.
Also it is worth mentioning that you should be vary wary of companies asking you for money to participate these guys will rip you off, they are a waist of both time and money. All the best companies are free to join.
One of the best lists I have found is on this site but it is Australian only:
