Online Paid Surveys

SurveySpot was created by Survey Sampling International, partners with the world's leading researchers since 1977. They offer interesting surveys via their research panel, and in exchange for your opinions you can earn cash and prizes. To date, they have rewarded their members over $16.8 million in rewards and prizes.

Getting Started. Once you sign up to become a member, you will be issued a username and password so that you can access their members site. From their you can check your cash balance, check your survey history, cash out, and update your panelist information. Survey Spot pays about $2 to $15 per survey, although not all of the surveys are cash surveys, some are for entries for their quarterly $25,000 sweepstakes. You can request payout when you have at least $5 in your account. Also SurveySpot will be offering a PayPal payment option soon.

What to expect? SurveySpot will automatically email you survey invitations that they feel may be a close match for your profile. Each invitation will indicate the survey topic, the estimated time to complete the survey, and the reward for completing the survey. The amount of surveys you will receive depends on your profile and the current studies being conducted, but in general you should expect a few invitations per week. While most of the survey invitations are rewarded with an entry in their $25,000 sweepstakes, you can still expect to receive several cash paid survey offers ranging from $1 to $15 per survey each month. You have to qualify for most of the cash surveys by answering a few introductory screener questions. Based on your answers and the survey client's needs, you may be asked to complete the survey. The good thing is that even if you don't qualify, you are usually still rewarded with a sweepstakes entry.Do not be alarmed if you do not immediately see your earnings in the member's area for completing a survey, it can takes up to six weeks for survey earnings to be processed and be available for redemption. This is one of the few drawbacks with this otherwise exceptional panel. Following redemption from the member's area, you can expect a check by mail within two to four weeks. Here is an example of a check I received for completing several surveys.
Our Advice: It is a good idea to take the first couple of survey invitations to show your dedication to the panel. SurveySpot sends more survey invitations than most panels, so we only recommend that you take the cash incentive surveys that you feel are worth your time, and to take a few sweepstakes surveys a month that have topics that are interesting to you. Unless you simply have lots of time, I would not recommend taking all of the survey invitations they send out. It is too time consuming, and your time can better spent taking survey invitations from the other survey panels we recommend. The most important advice is to answer the surveys honestly, and to take time to answer them correctly. The better your responses, the more likely it is that you will qualify for your cash survey invitations, and be invited to take future paid surveys.

SurveySpot offers good compensation per survey, and the quality of their surveys is good, with most taking less than 20 minutes to complete. You can expect many survey invitations; however, only about one in four will be cash survey invitations. This should still yield several paid survey invitations per month. The sign up process is quick, it is a consistent earner, and gets our recommendation for definitely worth joining!
