Finding Legitimate Online Survey Programs

You really can make money online with paid survey websites. But the hard part is to weed out the scams and identify the legitimate sites. The first bad sign of a scam is a website or program that asks you to pay them first. This is a clear no-no and should raise red flags in your head. This is why the sites I have reviewed here are all absolutely FREE, and I have personally joined and tried them all out to make sure that they really do pay. None of the programs here will make you rich, but you can make some extra money to pay the bills. After all, every extra dollar counts when we need money.

MY OVERALL RATING

Vindale Research This is one of the best paid survey sites on the market. After you sign up, there is a video on the homepage that will explain everything. My first week, I earned $75.00 by completing a book review. Vindale also has a paid to read email program too. They don't pay quite as much per email as Inbox Dollars (see below), but you can still get 25¢ for reading a 30-second message, which is about as easy as it can get. If you need as much money as possible, then definitely try out Vindale Research now!

Inbox Dollars I have nothing but good things to say about Inbox Dollars. It is in fact the most fun I have ever had online. First of all, they pay you $5.00 immediately upon registration. Free money is always nice. Then, they have lots of surveys you can take for several dollars a piece. You also get paid to read emails. This is one of the easiest things ever. You pretty much skim through an ad and then click a button on the bottom confirming that you have read or watched the contents of the email. You can get up to 50¢ for each email you read. Finally (this is the best part), they pay you to play free games! I highly recommend this site.

Survey 4 Profit Survey 4 Profit maintains a constantly updated database of market research companies that pay the best. They also provide free information on how you can get paid in other fun ways, such as cash-back shopping or gift cards. Survey 4 Profit really makes it simple for you to sit back and make money from your computer. If you need money, then joining this site is probably one of the best decisions that you can make now.

OTHER GOOD SITES

MY OVERALL RATING

Fusion Cash Fusion Cash is another solid program to make money online. It is somewhat similar to Inbox Dollars in many regards (surveys, games, $5 bonus, etc.). Personally, their website design and format don't appeal to me quite as much. However, feel free to give it a chance if you would like. They definitely do pay, so you don't need to worry about if it's a scam.

MY OVERALL RATING

Cash Crate Cash Crate is another decent site. There is nothing wrong with it, but they only give you a $1 bonus to join. While I shouldn't be complaining about free money, other sites in the industry are giving away $5 so they should raise their amount accordingly. Nevertheless, a dollar is a dollar, and every single one counts!
