There are a number of online paid survey sites that offers exciting rewards in exchange for your opinion. Of course, you should always be careful in joining these paid survey sites and consumer panels since some of them turned out to be scams. Before you join one, it is highly suggested that you make your own research so as to find out whether the panel is legit or not. Online forums and message boards are great places to start.
One of the legitimate paid survey sites out there is GlobalTestMarket. Since I became a member of GlobalTestMarket, I started to receive several invitations in my e-mail to share my opinions in different online surveys. Well, you can increase your chances of receiving survey invitations just by answering the profile surveys on the Surveys page of the site. Every survey that you complete will earn you points, called MarketPoints, which you can redeem for cash. 1000 MarketPoints can be redeemed for $50 US. The number of points that you can earn in a survey varies depending on its urgency and length. There will be times where you'll be screened out of surveys because oftentimes market researchers are in need of opinions from a certain demographic. Don't be disappointed if this happens because it's very common. I've experienced being screened out of surveys for several times! Actually even if you got screened out, you'll still earn 5 MarketPoints for that.
Although it is true that you can earn cash by taking online surveys at GlobalTestMarket, you should realize that earning 1000 MarketPoints is not that easy. It can take months before you can redeem for a cash reward since survey invitations are not that frequent. In short, you'll not get rich in paid surveys. But if you don't mind spending a few minutes answering survey questions, then why not register at GlobalTestMarket? Anyway, you'll get rewarded for your time and opinion!
Here's the $50 (Php1978.63) check that GlobalTestMarket sent me after I've reached 1000 MarketPoints:
