I’ve written about HCD Surveys a number of times. When it comes to taking surveys this is by far my favorite site. The surveys are generally short and always interesting.

You receive points for each completed survey which can be traded for cash once your account reaches 1,000 points ($10).

HCD Surveys has a referral program on site which offers 50 points (.50) for each person you refer.

For a limited time new members can receive 100 points ($1.00) just for signing up through this special Facebook link. I’m not sure when this promotion ends.

Survey Savvy sends a good amount of surveys and offers product testing.

You will receive a cash for each completed survey and can request a check at any time. They also have a great referral program on site that pays you when your referrals complete a survey as well as their referrals.

I rarely complete Survey Savvy surveys anymore (lack of time) but I do always try to qualify for any product testing opportunities they send. I have tested a number of products from them in the past. Always fun!

I also received a couple of affiliate checks last week. If you have a blog or website and would like earn money with it be sure and check out MySavings Media and LinkShare.

Members receive points for each completed survey. Points can be traded for gifts or cash once your account reaches 1,000 points ($10).

My Survey also has both referral and affiliate programs available on site. Both programs gives you 150 points per referral ($1.50).

I’ve earned around $350 in the last year with MySurvey. I have also tested several products. I love testing new products!

There won’t be a lot of opportunities but the ones you do receive are definitely worth the time. As far as I know Baker Street Solutions has no referral or affiliate program.

Their surveys are always interesting and mainly focus on current events which I like. You get paid in points which can be traded for cash once your account reaches $10.

For a limited time they are offering new members 100 points ($1.00) just for signing up through this special Facebook link (you don’t need a Facebook account).

I’m not sure when this promotion ends.

Focus Forward is an excellent survey/market research site that pays cash for completed surveys, focus groups, and product testing. Payments range between $1 and $250 depending on the project.

You probably won’t receive a ton of opportunities but the ones you do get are quality. You can cash out once your account reaches $10. They also offer a referral program which pays you $2 for every member you sign up that completes one survey.

You can join Focus Forward here OR you could be super cool and let me send you a referral by emailing me a quick request. Thanks

Here are the sites online that paid me this week :

Each Monday I post which online companies have paid me the previous week. I think when people are starting to explore making money online it is much more comforting to know when a company really does pay you!

I consider gift cards to be just like cash so companies that I earn gift cards from will also be on the list.

These posts can be found under Monday Money and Earn Money.

- My Survey – $10.00
- HCD Surveys – $13.75
- Valued Opinion – $20.00 Amazon

I wrote a little about these here and here

Datatelligence – $5.00 Amazon

They don’t send many surveys and generally offer points which can later be traded for gift cards or prizes. My gift card came from a special survey where I was not awarded points, just a gift card.

Datatelligence does not have a referral or affiliate program that I am aware of.

Big Crumbs
Big Crumbs gives you cash back for shopping online. I use them mostly for Ebay purchases but they offer good percentages on other stores also.

I’m pretty loyal to Ebates so I tend to go there first but I like Big Crumbs because they pay every month, have a nice referral program and a great community of people.

LightSpeed Panel
Lightspeed is a survey site that gives you points for each survey you qualify for and complete. You can trade your points for tons of stuff but I generally stick with Paypal or Amazon.

I’m not a huge fan of Lightspeed only because most of the surveys are to long for my tastes. I generally pick the short ones and leave the rest. They offer an affiliate program on site and through Commission Junction (CJ pays more).

You Data
YouData pays you to look at advertisements. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite sites to earn a little pocket change. I wrote about it here.

I also received a product to test this week but I can’t for the life of me figure out what company it’s from. I’ll update you when I clue in!

HCD Surveys
HCD Surveys is one of my favorites. I earn roughly $80 a year through them. They don’t send a lot of surveys but the ones they do send are enjoyable.

You can cash out to receive a check when your account reaches $10.00. They also have a referral program which pays you .50 per referral.

UCLA Anderson Behavioral Lab
UCLA Anderson offers online studies for cash payment. Generally you will need to check the site to see what’s available.

Payments are made for each survey via PayPal.

Esearch
Esearch doesn’t send a lot of surveys but pay cash via PayPal for each one your qualify for and complete.

Valued Opinons
Valued Opinons is another one of my favorites. I didn’t get a check this week but I did get a product to test which is always fun.

You can cash out for Amazon gift cards, Blockbuster, Visa and many other rewards once your account reaches $20. They do not offer a referral program but do have an affiliate program through Share A Sale.

Most survey companies also offer sweepstakes for their members.

I received three checks today from the following companies so I thought this would be a good time to start the survey site archives yet again.

SurveySpot
SurveySpot sends a ton of surveys. You could spend all day taking surveys with nothing to show for it. For this reason, I only complete the ones that offer the right amount of cash for my time or may possibly lead to a product test.

You can cash out to receive a check when your account reaches $5.00. Survey Spot does not offer a referral program but they do have an affiliate program through CPA Storm (I think).

My Survey
My Survey is one of my favorites. I earn roughly $300 a year from them and have tested several products. The surveys are generally short and if they are going to be longer, they give you an additional point offer. At that time you can decide if it’s worth your time or not.

You can cash out to receive a check when your account reaches $10.00. They offer referral and affiliate programs on site.

Survey Savvy
Survey Savvy sends a good amount of surveys and offers product testing. You can cash out for a check at any time.

They have a great referral program on site that pays you when your referrals complete a survey as well as their referrals.

——————-

All three of these companies also offer sweepstakes and/or instant in games for their members.
