Ever since the gig economy became an everyday part of our lives, more and more people are trying to find easy ways to make money in their spare time.
One of the oldest ways to make extra money is through sharing your opinion. This used to be done primarily through in-person focus groups or telephone polls. But things have changed.
Today there are a ton of websites that will pay you to take surveys and share your opinion.
The purpose of this post is to have one big list that is updated semi-regularly of all the websites where you can make extra money from surveys.
Let’s get to it!
Our Big List of Websites to Make Extra Money from Surveys
- PineCone Research – PineCone Research is one of the leading consumer research companies. You can get paid to take surveys and occasionally test products as well.
- Survey Junkie – Survey Junkie is a popular consumer research company. Once you complete your profile they will match you up with relevant surveys. Complete surveys for rewards that can be redeemed for cash or gift cards.
- Vindale Research – If you don’t like the sites that pay out in points that can be redeemed for rewards like gift cards, you’ll like Vindale Research. Instead of paying out in points, they pay out cash for each completed survey, which can then be withdrawn via PayPal.
- One Opinion – Similar to other survey websites, One Opinion offers opportunities to redeem rewards for cash or gift cards.
- Swagbucks – Swagbucks has been around for years and is more than a survey website. You can also watch videos and use their portal to earn cash back. You can even use their search engine to gain rewards.
- Nielsen – When you think of Nielsen you probably think of TV viewership ratings. With more time spent on our phone, laptop, and other devices, Nielsen is trying to measure provide meaningful research beyond just the television.
- Sample Hawk – This isn’t a survey website, but I figured some of you may also be interested in getting free samples, which is what Sample Hawk specializes in.
You won’t get rich taking surveys and sharing your opinion, but it’s something that can be done easily (and dare I say lazily?) from the comfort of your home, or really wherever you may be.
My suggestion is to give some of the sites a try and see which ones are worth your time and which ones aren’t. There’s plenty of options.
