Welcome to my Free Paid Online Survey site.
I have been doing free paid surveys for awhile now and have done a lot of
research to see which sites were the best and were legitimate! I will
never pay to take surveys and neither should you! I also think my time is
valuable enough that I want cash or points for cash or gift cards that pertain
to me. I DO NOT want to waste my time filling out online surveys just to
be entered in a sweepstakes or drawing. I feel I will never win and
therefore it isn't worth my time! So, if you are looking for legitimate
free paid online survey sites that pay you in cash or points, then please
see my list of legitimate paid survey sites.
You will not get
rich taking surveys, but you will have some extra income. I will be
adding more sites as time goes on as I find some more reliable, honest survey
sites. I may eventually add some Focus Group sites too. They
are a little trickier because many are for very specific locations only.
I have found some that provide online focus groups that I will be
including. The below list is in no particular order.
** Once you have signed up for a new survey site, it is important to log into your new account and check for any profile surveys they may offer. The more of the profilers you do, the better your chances are of receiving relevant surveys. **

Pure
Profile: This site is unique in that you get paid cash for doing
surveys, but you can also earn money by logging in to your account and viewing

paid. PureProfile allows you to create your own online profile by
answering questions about yourself. Your account will be
credited with money (not points) when you complete surveys and view paid offers
from businesses. The important thing to do on this site to make sure you receive
surveys - is you MUST fill out the profile pages. It's a little long, but
it's worth it because it drastically improves your chances at geting
surveys. Some have said that they don't always receive the survey
invitations by email, so it might be worth it to log in regularly to make sure
you aren't missing any.
My
Survey: Members receive Reward Points for each survey they take. The
number of points vary from survey to survey, mostly depending on the length of
the survey. You'll earn 10 to 200 points for most surveys. Points are
accumulated in each member's Rewards account and can be redeemed for cash and
prizes. 1,000 points = $10.00 cash. Minimum payout is

you receive points for. Make sure to fill out those profilers!

Then you will log into your account regularly and see if there are any paid ads to view by clicking on "Adgets". You get paid just for having a small thumbnail of the ad shown to you and then if you click on the ad, you get paid again. You don't sign up for anything! No offers or forms to fill out, just view a small ad, then the website if you choose. You don't have to download the ad widget, you can just view the ads from your page. They will send you your payment through Paypal every Friday no matter how much or little you have earned. When you sign up, you will need to give them your cell phone number, just so that they can activate your account. It is an extra measure to make sure that you are the owner of the account. Once you get the code from your cell phone text, they never contact you by text/phone again.
