Taking Surveys for Money

Over the last couple of years, I’ve taken surveys with various companies in an effort to earn some extra money. I was pretty consistent in doing surveys for Harris Poll Interactive and Erewards (more on this one later…since it’s a great earner for Upromise money). However, I’ve now been reading up on many other survey companies. I’ll create a list of some of the survey companies that I like later, but I wanted to focus on Opinion Outpost for now.

I don’t know if I’m just in the target market that they’ve been looking for later, but I have qualified for 11 surveys since I signed up in late May, and earned about $39.70. Usually survey pay averages about $3 a survey, and they will send you a check in the mail as soon as you reach $5 in earnings. Of course, you don’t necessarily qualify for every survey, but if you don’t qualify, it doesn’t take much time to do the screening questions. Sometimes, they’ll even mail you a sample of the product they’re asking about for you to try.

Just as a note: they list the pay in points…10 points = $1.
