Make money by filling surveys – here are 9 websites!

Here’s a life lesson, kids- What you make of yourself and for yourself depends on where you invest your time. Would you rather find out what kind of dessert you are, or bring in a few extra bucks by completing some easy surveys? 💸

With the current state of affairs, most of us spend a huge chunk of the day indoors doing nothing but endless scrolling on the internet (you know you do). But did you know you can be productive EVEN while lazing around? It’s true. End the endless Instagram scrolling and join these 9 survey sites that pay you to tell them what you think! 🤑

1. Toluna

This popular website not only provides you a platform to share your opinions but also rewards you for it! Answer surveys about different products, services, and issues and earn points that you can, later on, redeem for cash and vouchers!

Rewards: PayPal payment, Amazon and high-street vouchers

Average amount per survey: $0.3 – $0.6

Minimum to cash out: $10 (30,000 points)

2. Swagbucks

Swagbucks.com is one of the web’s most popular rewards programs. Earn points every time you watch videos, search the web, answer surveys, shop at specific retailers, and find great deals. Redeem these points in exchange for gift cards from retailers like Amazon and Walmart, or get cashback from Paypal. It doesn’t get easier than this! 🤩

Rewards: PayPal payment, vouchers, prize draws

Average amount per survey: $0.40 – $2

3. Survey Junkie

Like most websites, Survey Junkie gives you points for answering surveys and completing specific actions- like watching a video. It asks you a few general questions based on yourself, such as your age, profession, and income. Based on your answers, it sets you up with surveys that are relevant to your demographic. Though the website isn’t known to offer too many surveys, it’s legit and they pay up the users as promised!

Rewards: PayPal payments, eGift cards

Average amount per survey: $1 – $3

Minimum to cash out:  $10 (1000 points)

4. OnePoll

This is another website that provides feedback to some major brands regarding popular consumer opinions. Answer these short surveys to gather up points in no time. One con of this website, however, is the large amount of £40 that you have to gather up before you can redeem your rewards! 😥

Rewards: Cash, PayPal payments

Average amount per survey: 5p – 20p

Minimum to cash out: £40

5. Triaba

Triaba is another legit platform that allows you to earn cash for answering surveys, taking polls, watching videos, and many other online activities. Gather up points to redeem them later for PayPal payments or merchandise of your choice! 🏃‍♀️

Rewards: PayPal, GCodes (a virtual gift code to redeem rewards including merchandise, gift cards, magazines, books, mobile top-up, travel, etc.)

Average amount per survey: $0.25 – $4.50

Minimum to cash out: $10

6. LifePoints

Compared to other sites, it is easier to qualify for more paid surveys on LifePoints. More surveys = more cash! 🥳 Most of their surveys can be completed in 10 minutes or less; however, the longer a survey is, the more you’ll reap from it.

Rewards: PayPal

Average amount per survey: $0.60 – $1

Minimum to cash out: $20

7. Vindale Research

Unlike other survey websites, Vindale Research doesn’t use a points system. They display your compensation directly in cash, making it FAR easier to know how much you’ve earned without the hassle of conversion! It also has several other activities that you can complete to earn yourself a couple of extra bucks. 💰

Rewards: PayPal

Average amount per survey: $0.50 – $5

Minimum to cash out: $50

8. Branded Surveys

Branded surveys have a simple and easy-to-use website designed for its users. You also get 50 points just for signing up- and another 10-50 more points for answering basic questions about yourself like your age and profession. 🤯

The website also has a badge system consisting of three levels- Bronze, silver, and gold. You can move up level by collecting credits, which you’ll get after completing surveys and other activities. The higher the level, the more opportunities.

Rewards: PayPal, Gift cards

Average amount per survey: Up to $3 (300 points)

Minimum to cash out: $10

9. Pinecone Research

Pinecone Research is a little more unconventional than the rest. Every survey pays a minimum of $3, and usually only take about 15 minutes or less to complete. You may also get a chance to test (and keep) products, which makes it fun! However, it’s hard to get into as they restrict access only to certain demographics, which may keep changing based on who they’re targeting at the time. Moreover, you’re only likely to get a maximum of a few surveys a month. The site will automatically notify and send you surveys that qualify for- so at least you don’t waste time searching for one! ⏰

Rewards: PayPal, Cheque, VISA gift card

Average amount per survey: $3

Minimum to cash out: $3
