Get paid for your opinions (Updated)

Every year, company's spend billions of dollars carrying out market research and finding out customer opinions on their products or services. Thanks to the Internet everyone can now take a share of those billions by filling in surveys, sampling and commenting on products, logos or designs and even get rewarded for shopping, eating out and taking holidays. I am now going to Introduce you to paid surveys. You can register to participate in surveys for which the company that provided the surveys to you will pay you for voicing your opinion. These surveys can pay anything from a few Penny's to quite large sums around £25-£30 or even more. Some survey company's will pay you in points which you can redeem for products or services, much like Ipoints (see last post), or may reward you by entering you into a free prize draw or lottery. Here are a few survey company's for you to get started with. There are so many survey company's around these days that i am going to split up this post and post regular updates with more survey company's as well as introduce you to mystery shopping. Just sign up to the following sites, set up your profile and wait for the surveys to land in your inbox....
