If you’re willing to do a little work and are persistent with some of the opportunities available, there is money to be made online.

20/20 Panel:  Be Paid to Share Your Opinion!

https://www.2020panel.com/

Register with them and you will receive invitations to take “screener” surveys.  When you match the demographics that they want to survey, you will be invited to participate in a study.  You’ll be giving your opinion, experience and insight to companies – and be paid for your time.

Pinecone Research:

https://www.pineconeresearch.com/Signup/Signup_Form.aspx

Register and become a member of the Pinecone Research Panel.  When you’re sent “screener” surveys and match the surveyor demographics, you’ll earn $3 to complete a study. Not everyone who applies is chosen and surveys can be infrequent.

Toluna Research:

Accepts all applicants, surveys vary in compensation and frequency.

Sites such as Mamapedia.com, ebates.com, the survey sites above and service/retail companies may offer you the opportunity to earn “referral” credits when those you refer sign up (and usually make a purchase).  Using social media and your social circles, (with etiquette) share good deals you’re finding with your friends!
