Years ago my wife did online surveys with a couple of different survey sites, but we found that the income was too little for the time spent doing them.

I'm seeing a lot of TV ads now for bigspot.com (apparently one of the newer online survey companies).

Has anyone tried bigspot.com?

Has anyone discovered an online survey site where the income is reasonable?

Thanks!

I think that will always be the case. When you thinkabout it what is the business case for paying someone to do free online surveys? You know I'm a skeptical person when it comes to stuff like this. I think they want your personal info - setting up a new email address just for this is good but be wary of giving out your home address lest you get inundated with junk mail and telemarketing calls.

Good points, NK. Thanks for the links. Sounds like something to stay away from.

I did one a few years back that claimed Australian residents could get cash rewards for doing surveys.
I spent hours filling them out over the course of a few months only to discover yep, I could get the cash... If I was in CANADA!

Always pays to read the fine print... then read it again, and then e-mail then to confirm!

The ones my wife did years ago amounted to about $2 per hour.

If someone was offering about $5 for a 15 minute survey, I'm sure that either my wife or one of my older kids would consider it.
