Before going to discussion, I have a question for you. Do you have a lot of patience?
If your answer is NO , you can skip the whole discussion and choose
some other online work for you. Joining survey websites is not a
get rich quick program, you need to have a lot of patience specially if
you are from India as you will not have surveys to do all the time. Most
of good survey sites are for people living in US ,UK and Canada. There
are very few sites which are available for international users. My
advice to people who wants to join survey sites –
Don’t just join 2 or 3
survey sites , join 10-15 survey sites instead. Doing this you ensure
that you will have something to do all the time .
Lets discuss how much one can earn from survey sites. This is how it works according to me-
- Suppose if one joins 10 survey sites and he is making INR 500 from each then he can accumulate 10*500=5000 INR per month which can be considered a good amount for student to begin with.
Here are top 10 survey sites to start with. All are genuine and tested by me-
1. Toluna
Toluna.com has become one of my favorite
survey site. Its more like a social networking website as you can follow
people ,they can follow you back and even you can post messages on
their wall. You can express yourself by creating polls and topic on
their website . There are 3 types of opportunities to make money on
Toluna-
- By participating in paid survey or profile survey
- By creating quality contents(polls and topic)
- By inviting friend to sign up Toluna
Payment methods for Indian users-
- Paypal (if you want to feel some hard cash)
- Gift vouchers (Flipkart, Jabong, Indiatime shopping, ammado)
2. ValuedOpinions

be invited to participate in various online surveys through emails

survey. Their survey always contains 10 short questions that can be
answered in 2-3 minutes. They use a special score called Traitscore
to assess the members. If you are honest about your demographics and
traits and always give honest opinions, you get a higher traitscore and
higher the traitscore, higher the reward per survey. You can redeem

is not agree with me on this, then comment below.
