Earn Money Online: Best Online Survey Sites

One of the issues with choosing to stay home to raise our children rather than working full time is that we need to find ways to bring in extra income. Here is a list of some of our favorite online survey sites that pay cash or points which enable us to pay for date nights and fun family outings. You won’t get rich, but if you have a little extra time on your hands, why not make a little money?

Swag Bucks

Swag Bucks is one of my favorite sites. I earn points just for using Swag Bucks as my online search engine and I redeem them for $5 Amazon Gift Cards. You can also get gift cards for Lowe’s, Starbucks and other retail stores, cash in your Pay Pal account and tons of other prizes and there are lots of ways to earn.

Pays in point rewards for every completed survey–listed in the top ten surveys on SurveyPolice. You can cash your points in for instant win opportunities, sweepstakes, or cash. There are also opportunities to do free product testing.

My Points

This is a site that rewards you points for online activity such as reading emails, taking surveys and signing up for offers. My husband reads the emails and clicks the links to accumulate enough points to earn a movie gift card every few months (date night!).

Pinecone Research (unavailable at this time)

My personal favorite and one that I currently use. Pinecone Research is rated #1 on Survey Police and they have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. They pay $3.00 for every survey completed and payment is made within 3-4 business days. Fill out this screener to see if you qualify. I will update you when this becomes available again.

Synovate (currently unavailable)

One of the most highly-recommended survey companies. They even send out free samples from time to time for marketing research. I will post as soon as this opportunity becomes available again.
