So I touched on this a little last week, I’ve received quite a few questions on which surveys are reputable and which are a waste of time. So I figured, now is a great time to cover this.

::Reputable Companies::

I classify a reputable survey company as one that you can take decent surveys (that don’t take forever), pay-out regularly, and are easy to work with.  So I put together a list of the most reputable companies, I am members to each of these and would recommend these. (There were quite a survey companies that I have mentioned in the past that aren’t on this list because I only wanted to list the best ones)

• NPD Online Research
• Panda Research
• Nielsen Home Scan or Nielsen Digital Voice Research
• Mindfield (My favorite)
• Zoom Panel
• Toluna

::How to use them to Maximize your Earnings::

1. Make a separate email address. (Most email you for each survey, you’ll get frustrated with them if they crowd your personal email) Google, Yahoo, MSN all offer FREE Email addresses.
2. The more time you put in the more money you’ll make. (Pretty self-explainable, but there are no $30/each surveys. A lot of surveys are $1 or less, so you’ll have to keep taking them to make a good profit)
3. Choose Which Ones You Want to Take. (Don’t waste all your time doing surveys that are boring. Remember you have the power, decide which you want to take. You CAN only do the high paying ones if you want)
4. Keep doing them. (The more active you are, the more likely they’ll give you better surveys, or even new products to review- that’s my favorite)
5. You can quit anytime. (If you decide that you just aren’t making what you wanted, it’s taking too long, or whatever, you can always quit. Just because you stop for a few months doesn’t mean you can’t eventually go back. Do what is best for you)

Hopefully you’ve learned a few new reputable sites, and ways to make the most out of these survey companies. Now go Make some Money!!
