Guest Author Lapis Lee’s Top 25 Paid Survey Sites Introduction
I have earned $2901.42 in 21 months from 25 survey sites, which is $138.16 per month. The average survey site earned $5.53 per month. My actual receipts are $2745.57, which is $130.74 per month.
Surveyhead continues to make great strides and $30 was just approved and should be in my PayPal account sometime this week. Greenfield remains stagnant since I am disqualified for virtually every paid online survey from them. I have not had as much time for the Daily Survey Panel, because I prefer the Surveyhead Dashboard set-up. It’s more interactive and removes surveys as soon as you complete them or are disqualified.
Consumer Research jumped into the pack at #9 after they sent me a free webcam and I completed a $100 panel discussion (live on webcam) for $100. I am hoping that I get lots more of these. This also illustrates how much one interactive forum/survey or contest win can change your earnings. Goodbye GARB, for now, but thanks for the underwear and socks!
Datatelligence has really slacked in their promise to send me a check for $20 for their Chocolate Study, but at least they have kept me updated on the problem and are now sending me $30 instead. Ho hum to all of the others except for Global Opinion Panel that sent me ten T-shirts to test. Thanks!
