Paid Surveys This is one of the most popular ways to make money online currently, but the thing to realize is that not all survey sites are purely for research.  Some of them may sell your information to telemarketers, direct mailers, and spam companies.  To our knowledge none of the sites listed below engage in such practices to any extent but you should always read the privacy policy before signing up for a survey site as you will be entering information in many different areas.  The websites I will post below have proven themselves as legitimate research companies that will in turn help you make money online, I have not been received a single spam e-mail from any of these sites, nor phone call, nor item in the mail besides for checks.  These sites will typically pay between $1-20 for a survey, depending on rarity of the demographics, length of the survey, etc.  I've had surveys as long as half an hour, as short at 2-3 minutes.  I have gotten $1 for a 2 minute survey from InboxDollars.  I do any survey that I receive in my email, but most of my money has been made from InboxDollars and Treasure Troopers thus far.  Please truly take the surveys, by entering fake information you hurt the companies paying to receive high quality information as well as yourself as you could have your earnings revoked and your accounts banned, any money you made online will be forfeited.  If you are looking to make money online easily, this is one of the easiest ways to do so.  Note: Many times you will not qualify for a survey, just keep trying and eventually you will, many sites pay you just for answering the demographic questions even if you can't complete the survey. For a very simple to use guide on places to take surveys as well as how to use your time most efficiently I highly recommend checking out: Paid Surveys, etc.

Opinion Outpost - This is a great way to make money online.  The surveys are fast and easy and are reasonably priced, if you go to any of the online survey ranking sites, this one will always be on the top of the list.  If I had to list any company I've found as legitimate way to make money, this would without a doubt be it.  Free to sign up and you can cash out with as little as $5.  If you plan to try anything on this site, try this. **Note:  I just recieved payment from Opinion Outpost on December 19, 2007 from my survey account, I only took 2 surveys and reached the minimum payout of $5.4 with it, you can easily make $30 a month if you take all the surveys from this company; link to my check included on my blog: Opinion Outpost Proof of Payment.

Treasure Troopers - This site is good for surveys amongst other things, here you can take a survey every single day.  It has many other offers you can do to make money.  This is quickly becoming one of my favorite places on the internet.  This is my first stop when it comes to starting my money making routine each day.

InboxDollars - This site allows you to take one survey per day, at $1 each.  I have gotten surveys that take less than 5 minutes from them, which is a good use of time as far as I'm concerned.  It also offers paid emails, sign up offers, cash back for shopping, etc.  I typically look through my inbox, click on the paid e-mails, and then go to the survey page and take my daily survey and continue on with my tasks for the day.

CashCrate - This site has many of the same advantages of the site above, and it allows you to take 2 surveys per day rather than just one. SurveySavvy - This website is purely research based, no special offers.  I like this website quite a lot, the surveys they offer tend to have high payouts.  I suggest doing the profile surveys so that you will get surveys more tailored to you and that will have less of a chance of disqualification. These paid survey companies listed below have you sign up for a survey, and typically after taking profile surveys you will get 1-3 surveys a month from them.  They are all good sites for making money online, as someone trying to find quick, easy, and fun ways to make money on the internet I was quite pleased to run across them.   They typically have higher paying surveys yet they do not come as often.  I am a member of all of them and I feel they are all quite professional.  As I come across more good survey sites I will add them, but not until I've tested them.
