This is one of the best ways to make a little cash on the Web, you just sign up to take surveys and wait for invitations to come! Companies want your opinion, and many are willing to pay you cash to take their surveys online.  Others will enter you into huge drawings, and some send out other rewards.  One thing you can be sure of, we only feature FREE surveys here, because many of the ones you have to pay for are scams.

I've taken surveys over TV shows and movies, food, pets, and pretty much everything in between.  Here I've compiled what I feel to be the best survey sites, and like I said, they are all free to join, and you are never obligated, you take them on your time.

My Survey (NFO)
NFO (My Survey) is one of our two favorite survey sites because you get points towards cash AND you get entered into drawings for most surveys, and they send out surveys about once every week or two. How many points you get depends upon the length of the survey and you also get $1.50 for each person you refer. Great site.

Synovate Consumer Opinion Panel  I
They give you the opportunity to voice your opinions about products and services used by millions of people every day. Being a Panel member is easy, fun and provides many rewards. By spending some time each month answering questions about your likes and dislikes on product features, performance, pricing, packaging and advertising, you can receive bonus rewards just for participating. On this site you often get paid for surveys and get entered into drawings.

ACOP  I
The average survey will take 10 minutes or so to complete, and the questions are usually easy to answer. Panel members can expect to receive a short questionnaire that pays $4 to $25 every six weeks or so and longer surveys and focus groups could pay more. Also, all members are entered into a monthly cash drawing.

This is a fun site, not only do you get paid cash for surveys and for reading messages, but you get points for taking quizzes. Fun for taking a little break at work or playing around on the computer. The quizzes are interesting and the intermediate ones are quite challenging. They also have a 10-generational referral network. Lots of fun ways to get paid here, and this site can pay well.

MBS Internet Research Center
The type and amount of incentive are based on the type and size of survey and the respondent profile required by the contract and can vary from $2-$10 or more. Sometimes, no incentive is offered at all and sometimes you are entered into some pretty major drawings for some really neat stuff. In the case of review surveys, you may be allowed to keep product samples.
