I started keeping records of my online paid surveys January 31, 2008. I spend an average of three to four hours per day taking surveys. I have earned $9751.58 in 49 months from 21 survey sites, which is $199.01 per month. The average survey site earned $9.48 per month. I have added the dates that I joined each site as well as whether they have PayPal, Invokes or product tests. About 15% of my earnings are from product tests and Invoke Interactives. I do not keep track of prizes or free products, but I do include contest wins. I only add in points accumulated after they have been redeemed due to the difficulty of calculating point values. This month’s product tests include natural cat litter, puppy pads and cough drops.
Here are the top earners for February 2012, along with screenshots of my recent redemption requests.
Total Earned: $1332.40Total Earned This Month: $53.50Monthly Average: $27.19Last Payment Received: $50.50 check on January 13Last Payment Requested: $53 on February 9Joined: February 4, 2008In February I completed 53 surveys for 565 points ($56.50) out of 164 attempts. That is an average of $1.07 per survey completed. Opinion Outpost has merged with SurveySpot, which means all of the surveys now come from the same company; however, Opinion Outpost has added PayPal and also allows you to cash out at 1000 points ($10) now.
In February I completed 17 surveys for 840 points ($42). That is an average of $2.47 per survey completed. I was able to complete one online panel for 200 points ($10) on February 27 and another for 100 points ($5) on February 3.

That is an average of $1.78 per survey completed. One was marked “Invalid” on February 1 and if you get three Invalids they will suspend your account. Usually, an Invalid signifies that you took the survey too fast or missed one of the quality control questions like “Please check 3 for quality control purposes.”

I am now skipping all surveys for less than 3000 points ($1). I guess I am only willing to do enough work to earn $20 every other month or so.

The product tests are the main reason I stay with this site.

You can make $20 for filling a 20 minute survey!
ReplyDeleteGuess what? This is exactly what large companies are paying me for. They need to know what their customer needs and wants. So these companies pay $1,000,000's of dollars each month to the average person. In return, the average person, like myself, answers some questions and gives them their opinion.
