I have written extensively in the past about surveys and how I am able to earn money each month doing them. I haven’t mentioned surveys in a while now, but I wanted to revisit the topic. I am going to try to spotlight 3 survey companies each week. If you aren’t signed up with the ones I am mentioning, you’ll have the opportunity to. The more survey companies you are signed up with the more opportunities you will get!
I get emails and comments sometimes about people getting frustrated when they disqualify for surveys – you can’t take it personally! I disqualify for many of them, that’s why I recommend signing up with so many companies. Often, you don’t fit the demographic they need as they try to get a representative sample of the population.
The 3 survey companies I want to spotlight this week are:
1. University-sponsored sites – There are several sites through universities that offer online surveys for Amazon giftcards, cash via Paypal or sweepstakes entries. They don’t usually email when there are surveys open, so you should try to check the sites regularly. These sites aren’t product surveys but rather how you think, etc, surveys.
2. Valued Opinions – Valued Opinions is a solid survey site from which I receive approximately 5-7 invites per week. I have cashed out twice for a check and was paid timely each time.
3. Pinecone – Pinecone is one of my favorite sites but it’s “invite-only” or you need to try to find a Pinecone banner somewhere to sign up. The link I am sending you is a site who monitors if Pinecone is open and gives a link. At the time I wrote this post, there was a link for open registration. Pinecone pays $3 per survey and they just automatically send the check or money via PayPal.
If you’re new to surveys definitely sign up with a separate email address for surveys. It’ll make it easier to have an inbox you know will be filled with survey invites.

I started Nicole's Nickels in February 2009 to bring all of the great deals I was finding to my friends and family and then it took off! Since then I've continued my full-time day job as an attorney while blogging in the evenings and on weekends. I help my clients during the days at the non-profit I work for and then my Nicole's Nickels readers trying to find the best deals for their family! I live in south/central Florida and have 2 cute dogs (see their picture under "mascots") and an amazing boyfriend who has a spunky 6 year old we get to spend a lot of time with. I love telling my readers about great deals and also about the cool products I get to try. Most of all I love giving stuff away to my readers! I hope you'll take the time to
