Top 15 Survey Sites for Real Cash

There are a lot of ways to earn extra cash online but one of the easiest is by taking surveys.  Participating in online surveys can be fun and very rewarding.  Plus you get paid to speak your mind and they only take a few minutes to complete.

Because there are so many survey sites, it can be hard to know which ones you should join.  I have narrowed down some of the top survey sites that pay real cash.  These are based on the pay, time spent taking a survey, frequency, and other factors.

1. Paid Viewpoint – One of the best survey sites on the web today.  You are guaranteed to earn money for every survey you take without being disqualified.  Paid Viewpoint surveys take no more than 5 minutes to complete.  You can watch this video of how much I have made with Paid Viewpoint and how you can earn more money with this survey site.
2.  Qmee – Although this is not a traditional survey site, this company has paid surveys that you can take in your spare time from your computer or mobile phone.  I once took a survey and was given a free candle to keep and test at home in addition to the cash I earned.  You can log in daily to take new surveys.
3. PrizeRebel – You can use this site daily to get free cash or gift cards to share your thoughts online.  This company has an abundance of surveys to take during the week.  You must be 13 to join and they are open worldwide.
4. Swagbucks – Swagbucks is a company that offers multiple ways to earn cash online including taking surveys.  In some cases, you have a chance to get paid close to $25 and up for special surveys.  This company is also open worldwide and to teens.  Free Swagbucks tips here.
5. Tellwut – Another cool site to help you earn free Visa, PayPal, or free gift cards to quiz your friends, answer quick polls, watch trailers and answer multiple-choice questions below, create surveys, and more.  You must live in the US or Canada to join
6. Survey Junkie – You can earn up to $200 with this panel just by installing their extension but you will earn more if you take surveys too.  You will get paid in PayPal cash, bank transfer, or free gift cards.
7. LEO Opinions – This company will pay you at least $1 per survey and up that you complete from your phone or computer.  The surveys are simple and short.  They have monthly sweepstakes where they give away cash and prizes that you are automatically entered in when you take a survey.  Open in the US and Canada.
8. Pinecone Research – I like this panel too because you can earn $3 for every survey you complete.  You can also get free items to test at home and keep in addition to the pay.
9. L & E Research – This market research company will pay you up to $100 or more (depending on the study) to complete online focus groups, telephone interviews, bulletin boards, etc.  These studies can take anywhere from 30 minutes up to an hour of your time but are worth it!  The pay is phenomenal.
10. InstaGC – You can take as many surveys as you want with this company to earn real cash or instant gift cards.  You can also earn to download apps, watch videos, complete online tasks, and more.  I prefer the instant gift cards that I use to print at home and get free stuff on Amazon or Domino’s Pizza every now and then as a treat!
11. Quick Rewards – Join this site to take cool surveys Tuesday through Friday to get access to several online surveys.  Although there are multiple ways to earn, surveys are the primary way.  Read this article for more tips.
12. Opinion Outpost – Another cool site to use to take surveys where you can earn up to $5 per survey.  You can redeem your rewards in cash or free gift cards.

14. Branded Surveys – This company has partnered with market research companies to offer a variety of survey opportunities to its members.  The more surveys you take the more you earn plus your rank goes up.  You can request your earnings via PayPal, bank transfer, or with free gift cards.
15. Earnably – Get free PayPal cash or gift cards instantly to take surveys daily.  They have several paid surveys you can do during the week and on weekends.  You can earn by completing other tasks too.
