Top Paid Survey Sites

If you're trying to make money online with paid surveys, there are some things you've got to know before you're ready to make cash. Also, you've got to get it into your head that you're not going to make $600 in the next 2 hours, it's just not possible. Instead, it's like having any other job where you'll have to work at completing offers, surveys and probably most importantly, gaining referrals.

Being scammed online is very common so it's best if I tell you how to avoid a scam survey site first. By asking yourself the following questions, you should be able to find legit paid survey sites that pay you good and pay you well:

1. Research the survey sites - There are literally thousands of paid survey sites and from my experience, there's probably only about 10% which are honest. You're going to want to make sure you know what you're getting yourself into. I suggest Googling the name of the site and see what you think of it.

2. Amount paid - You should be wary of sites that pay you only in raffle tickets! That's almost like saying "We can't afford to pay you so instead we'll give you a 1 in a 1,000,000 chance to win $50,000 and keep your hard earned money instead". It doesn't seem like a good deal, does it?

3. Browse forums - You should also try and get as much information as you can about the survey site and what better way to do it than by going to a make money online forum. Check out what people are recommending and see if you can spot any proof, like checks. If see proof of checks, odds are, you'll be paid as well if you joined that survey site that they recommended.

So, what are the best paid survey sites? Well, in my opinion, these are the 2 that I recommend:

1. Cashcrate - Join for free and get paid to do offers, surveys, shop online and to gain referrals. If you're starting out, you get a $3 bonus for every referral who earns their first $10 and referral benefits increase as your referral level increases, of which there are 5 levels. Payment is by check and is sent out on the 15th of every month (if you're only on the 1st referral level).

2. Snapdollars - Join for free and get paid to do everything else that Cashcrate offers. However, you also have a chance of earning by playing games, but only if you're from the US. There's also a Sweepstakes at Snapdollars. If you refer someone to Snapdollars and they complete their profile, you get $5 plus 10% of everything they earn. Payment is by check and you must have earned at least $15 in completed offers before your payment request is approved.

These are just some of the sites that pay you good money. To really maximize your earning potential, you should aim to join many more survey sites
