The Money Vault

Many reputable companies are now paying ordinary people decent amounts of money to fill in online surveys. Some companies ask for a membership fee to be paid of around $35 but why pay to take online surveys when there are many serious market research companies you can join for free.  If you do join a paid group always check before you sign up that the company offers a money back refund - you may find that filling in online surveys is not for you!

A typical survey usually takes around 15 minutes to complete. Make sure that the survey group you sign up for pays cash as opposed to points. It is so much more rewarding completing an online survey knowing that at the end of it you will have earned hard cash as opposed to gift vouchers.

Survey Scout is a reputable company offering $5 - $75 per survey taken. They also offer anything up to $150 for taking part in telephone surveys and $4 - $25 per hour for previewing movie trailers. Click Survey Scout for information

You will usually receive an email around 2 - 4 times per month with a survey for you to complete. Obviously, if you only fill in between 2 and 4 online surveys a month, you are not going to be able to give up your day job just yet. However, if you sign up with a few different online survey groups, whereby you start receiving paid surveys every day, then it is going to make a difference to your income.

The advantage of being paid to fill in online surveys, apart from actually being paid!!!,  is that almost anyone can do it with the minimum effort. So long as your criteria match the survey - e.g. age, location, gender, you can fill in your survey and watch the cash being transferred to your Paypal account, or whichever method of payment you chose on sign up
