What are the top survey sites that pay?…
The idea of getting paid for filling out surveys is so unusual and so good to be true that many people wonder if these sites actually pay their panel members.
Try Swagbucks, the famous rewards program that pays you for watching videos, taking surveys, shopping and more.
The idea of market research (paying a select group of people for their feedback on products and services they use in their daily lives) is nothing new, in fact it has been around for as long as most of us can remember, but with the arrival of the Internet it took a whole new direction and has opened up a fantastic door of opportunity for both companies and their consumers.
It made it easy for companies to find out what the customer thinks about the product, and how it might be improved by simply sending online surveys to a select group of people. At the same time it made it easier for consumers to use this opportunity to not only voice their opinion about a specific product, but also earn money for their participation.
But for many, the question is how and where do you find real and legitimate paid surveys than can help you make money?… If you look around you can find some good ones. As I promised in this post, here is a list of some of the best paid survey companies that I personally have been a member of for years, and know them to be legitimate.
12 Legitimate Paid Survey Companies

One of the top paying survey companies is Survey Spot.

One of the oldest and most well-known paid survey companies.
If you have to only sign up for one paid survey site to make money with, I recommend Ipsos-iSay. Ipsos is the most fun and well-paying panel. Give it a try to see how you like it. It is free anyway!
