Top 30 Paid Online Survey Sites
———————————————————-
I started keeping records of my online paid surveys January 31, 2008. I spend an average of two to three hours per day taking surveys. Here are the amounts that I have earned from my 30 best paid online survey sites. I have earned $2983.98 in 17 months from 30 survey sites, which is $175.53 per month. The average survey site earned $5.85 per month, but that does not take into account how recently I joined some sites. My actual receipts are $2793.01, which is $164.30 per month. I have added the dates that I joined each site as well as whether they have PayPal, Invokes or product trials. About 10% of my earnings are from product trials and Invoke Interactives. I do not keep track of prizes or free products, but I do include contest wins. I only add in points accumulated after they have been redeemed due to the difficulty of calculating point values. I just joined EliteOpinion, MakeExtraMoneyOnline, Paid Survey Reviews, Viewpoint and Surveyhead earlier this year.

Hi Sheila! You’ll have to wait for a Pinecone banner link to become available as they only open up membership a few times a year. I usually post it to the blog when Yourfreesurveys has an active link. Heath
