Paid suvey sites – not drawings & sweepstakes!

Legitimate free paid survey sites

Welcome to my Free Paid Survey site.
http://pages.suddenlink.net/legit-paid-surveys

I have been doing free paid surveys for awhile now and have done a lot of research to see which sites were the best and were legitimate!  I will never pay to take surveys and neither should you!  I also think my time is valuable enough that I want cash or points for cash or gift cards that pertain to me.  I DO NOT want to waste my time filling out surveys just to be entered in a sweepstakes or drawing.  I feel I will never win and therefore it isn’t worth my time!  So, if you are looking for legitimate free paid survey sites that pay you in cash or points, then please see my list of legitimate paid survey sites.  You will not get rich taking surveys, but you will have some extra income.  I will be adding more sites as time goes on as I find some more reliable, honest survey sites.  I may eventually add some Focus Group sites too.  They are a little trickier because many are for very specific locations only.  I have found some that provide online focus groups that I will be including. The below list is in no particular order.

** Once you have signed up for a new survey site, it is important to log into your new account and check for any profile surveys they may offer.  The more of the profilers you do, the better your chances are of receiving relevant surveys.

minimum payout.  Has 6 profile surveys.

you get paid through Paypal quickly and easily.  When you sign up, you let them know your interests.  Then you will log into your account regularly and see if there are any paid ads to view by clicking on “Adgets”.  You get paid just for having a small thumbnail of the ad shown to you and then if you click on the ad, you get paid again.  You don’t sign up for anything!  No offers or forms to fill out, just view a small ad, then the website if you choose.  You don’t have to download the ad widget, you can just view the ads from your page.  They will send you your payment through Paypal every Friday no matter how much or little you have earned.  When you sign up, you will need to give them your cell phone number, just so that they can activate your account.  It is an extra measure to make sure that you are the owner of the account.  Once you get the code from your cell phone text, they never contact you by text/phone again.
