If you’re looking for a mad money or free stuff, surveys are a fun way to make a little extra or win cool things. I’ve gotten a free bra from Victoria Secret, as well as a little cash from doing surveys. I don’t do surveys regularly, so I don’t make or win much. If you need to pay the mortgage, I don’t think surveys are the answer. But for a little extra money, surveys are fun and easy.
To do surveys you need to understand:
- You never want to pay to join a survey site. Legitimate survey sites don’t charge to hire you.
- Be complete with your profile. Surveys are given to people who meet the company’s market profile. The more ways you can fit into a target market, the better.
- You need to belong to many survey sites. You’ll be lucky if you qualify for a survey from one site once or twice a week. So the more sites you join, the more opportunities you have to qualify for surveys.
Here are some sites you can join.

So you have verified and have checked that these companies are honest and trustworthy? They sure do ask a lot of personal information so I just want to double check with you! Want to make sure I’m not telling someone everything I have in my house so they can come rob me! Your website is very helpful, by the way!
Survey companies ask a lot of questions because the companies use that information to target the market they want to survey. For example, they want to survey a mom, who owns a house, has cable and Internet access. If you don’t have that stuff, then you don’t qualify for the survey. These companies are known to be reputable; however, I don’t participate in survey programs myself, so I can’t share any personal experiences with them. Thank you for posting and visiting the site.
