Surveys

One way I make some extra pocket money is by filling out surveys, and attending the occasional focus group. It's not a ton of money, but it's something! And every little bit helps, right? I generally make anywhere from $10 - $200 a month. There are so many survey and market research sites out there, it's hard to know which ones are legit. The sites below are my favourite. They send surveys regularly, and they pay up! I've been paid several times by them all.

Web Perspectives

TNS

FocusLine Surveys

Opinion Outpost

Survey Lion

Swagbucks

Global Test Market

Survey Savvy

Those are my favourites. They all offer cash, but some of them offer gift cards as an option as well. I'll often fill out surveys while watching TV, or if I can't sleep. :)
