How to Make Money Taking Surveys Online

Join several legitimate sites. Some of them pay you through paypal, and others will send you a check. The most profitable sites in my experience (number of surveys they send, or amount they pay per survey) are Opinion Outpost, Opinion Place, Survey Spot, Global Test Market, and Your 2 Cents.

These sites will send you survey opportunities by email, and some of them also let you sign into their website to take surveys. Most of them have a minimum amount you have to reach before you can request a payout, but don't worry, it is reachable!
Make sure you read the email or other information about how much each survey pays. Surveyspot usually sends surveys that are just worth a sweepstakes entry. You don't have to do these. They do send several cash-paying surveys too, though, and it will say in the headline of the email.
I have already been paid by Opinion Outpost, Opinion Place, Survey Spot, and Lightspeed Panel and am close to the payout amount on several others.
