A couple of years ago, I
read about online survey sites that pay a little bit of cash to people
who answer surveys. After a little
research, I signed up
for three -- HCD Surveys and My Survey were two. (I cannot remember the
name of the third.)
Unlike Instant Cash Sweepstakes, these sites feature surveys only from businesses or organizations. Some questionnaires take just a few minutes to complete; others may take 45 minutes or more. An occasional one might stretched out over a week or so. The sites pay bigger incentives for more lengthy surveys. Members can cash out once their accounts reach a certain level.
For me, My Survey is the only one of the three worth my time. I never qualified for a survey through the other two. I think that’s because the businesses sponsoring the surveys were typically looking for the opinions of people with kids, and until six months ago, I had no children. Also, I work in the news industry. (Quite often, when a survey began by asking demographic questions, I’d receive a screen notifying me that I didn’t qualify for the survey right after I answered a question about whether I worked in the media or advertising industries.)
I don’t qualify for surveys through My Survey very often either, but I have managed to collect enough rewards to get about $20 in PayPal cash each year. A friend of mine who participates survey sites averages about $200 a year, though, but she’s a homemaker with two children, so I think she qualifies for more surveys. HCD is among the sites that work well for her.
All in all, an extra $20 a year doesn’t go far, and up until this point, I’ve always used the cash to take my husband and me out to eat. But now, my plan is to put it toward bills.
You can sign up for HCD Surveys by clicking this link or the link to the site in the text above.
All links above to My Survey take you directly to the site, where you can register. My Survey also has a referral program through which members receive 150 reward points for people who sign up through them. If you’d like to give me a referral, please notify me, and I’ll send you a separate link.
