The Socratic Forum Survey Panel Review

by LapisLee on July 12, 2009

The Socratic Forum is an excellent cash-based site that has earned me $71 since March 28, 2008 and which currently ranks 17th out of my top 25 survey sites.

Surveys that Pay Cash

There are five basic types of incentives that online paid survey sites reward you with: cash, points for cash, points for gift cards, points for prizes and sweepstakes entries. I will briefly describe the advantages and disadvantages of each type over the next few articles. I prefer survey sites that pay in cash or points for cash and I do not like survey sites that pay only in sweepstakes entries; but, there are valid reasons why you should have a balance of different survey sites in your survey site portfolio and I will discuss these reasons and explain which sites in each category are better and why.
