I just renewed my account with a REALLY good paid survey outfit, Survey Savvy. I joined Survey Savvy a number of years ago when I was heavy into researching & using paid survey sites. I only dropped out for awhile because my day job was too hectic & my online stores were doing quite well.
That's no longer the case. I do still make money selling on Amazon but not near as much. The paid survey route remains one of the simplest ways to make money at home. My total earnings from Survey Savvy were $448. Pretty good for an occasional 20-30 min survey. That total also includes referrals. Referrals do need to take surveys for you to get $$, not just sign up
When I originally started doing Survey Savvy, the surveys were mostly tech-oriented, lots of telecommunications. It looks like they have expanded & have more opportunities for general consumer surveys, as shown in the August 2008 issue of Seventeen magazine.
Survey Savvy has been around since 1999. Part of Luth Research which has been around since 1977. Bottom line is they are honest. They are pretty good about estimating the time a survey will and paying a respectable amount. Definitely worth signing up
