What To Look For In The Best Survey Sites
With so many survey sites out there claiming that you can make thousands, it’s difficult to determine what’s scam or legit. However, there are a key factors that you should look for:
- Never pay for a survey site. Any legitimate survey site will ever ask for your payment information.
- Sign-up bonuses. While not all of the good survey sites give you a bonus just for registering as a new user, it’s definitely a great incentive. Sometimes they can be as high as $5. I sometimes sign-up just for the sign-up bonus and then cash out once I meet the payment threshold. If I don’t like the site, I don’t continue.
- Payment Thresholds. Most survey sites require you to reach a minimum balance before you can cash out. Be aware of this when you first sign-up. I’ve seen some for as little as $5 and some as high as $50. Yet keep in mind that those with a higher payout threshold usually pay much better.
- Stick to high-paying surveys. I do my best to list surveys on this list that at least pay at a minimum rate of $10/hour. Calculate how much you can earn by dividing how much you earn by how long it takes in hours ($5 survey / .5 hours = $10/hour). Survey sites typically have low-paying surveys and high-paying ones. If you see a survey that doesn’t pay well, move on to the next one or wait for a new one to come out.
- How and when they pay. This may be important depending on how quick you need the cash. I’ve seen survey sites pay out only once a month, whereas with others you can request a payout at any time. Furthermore, keep in mind what type of compensation they pay, whether it be gift cards or PayPal deposits. All of the sites have at least paid me once.
- Privacy. Most of the time you don’t have to worry about this. Survey sites typically keep all of your answers anonymous, so there’s no way to link your opinions back to you. I made sure that all survey sites on this list meet this criteria.
- Don’t forget to verify your email. When you register with the majority of these survey sites, they’ll require you to verify your email address.
