American Consumer Opinion Panel (Get cash - $4 to $25 for each online survey - open to people worldwide).
Once you join this online survey panel, they invite you to fill out surveys online. After you finish a survey, you will receive cash, a check, a gift, and/or an entry in a drawing (values typically range from $4 to $25 per completed survey). Even if you are not selected to take a survey, your name will be entered in a monthly drawing.
I had earned $90 in American Express gift cheques.
Since then I've received more surveys from the site and more $10 gift cheques as a result.
Kinda cool seeing how little you actually have to do to receive them - $90 amounts
to around 3 hours worth of filling in surveys...
Membership in American Consumer Opinion™ is free. You will never have to pay any money to be a member. Your participation in our surveys is the only "cost" of membership. As a panel member, you will participate in several surveys a year, typically. The average survey will take 10 minutes or so to complete, and the questions are usually easy to answer. Panel members can expect to receive a "screener" (a short questionnaire) every six weeks or so.
All registered members participate in a monthly drawing to win $250 in cash awards, just for being a member. If you answer a screener (a short questionnaire), you will be entered into a drawing for cash awards. If you participate in a survey (a longer questionnaire), you will always receive some type of incentive (a free product to test, cash, a check, or a gift.
Incentives typically range in value from $4 to $25, per survey, depending upon the length of the questionnaire and the time it takes to complete it. If a survey is extra long, then the award could be $25 or more. Participants in online focus groups generally receive more than $25.
Just toddle along to the site, click the "Join" link and fill out a bunch of probing demographic details. This is the boring bit. You may feel a little uncomfortable over some of the questions asked(I never have) but you can rest assured that all of this remains totally private and is never passed on to either clients of the company or other third party companies. ACOP uses the details you have supplied to target surveys as those who fit their client's demographic requirements but that's as far as it goes, your details are safe. You'll also not find yourself bombarded with spam etc. they only want your details for the reasons mentioned and it's not in their interests to screw over their clients! You'll also need to(and this is important!) provide a VALID email address when you sign up and it has to be one you check regularly or you'll not get the invites.
Again, no giving up the day job by signing up with ACOP, no getting rich quick but a few extra pennies in your pocket for doing very little at all.
Hey where else can you earn the equivalent of $40-$60 an hour(do the maths) from sitting
on your butt in front of a monitor with half an eye on the TV?
