You will need to sign up to become a member of each company. These are all companies I have had great success with and they promise that they will not use your information for anything other than surveys. I have never received junk mail or junk e-mails from any of them and they protect all of your information. I would recommend creating a separate e-mail just for surveys, just so they do not get lost in your in-box. Have fun sharing your opinions and reaping the rewards with free money!

I know many of you make resolutions for the new year. And many of them are to pay off debt. In 2009 I decided to start tracking how much money I make from each survey company in order to be more informed and to be able to give you, the reader, the most accurate information. Of course dollar amounts will vary with each person for many reasons:
1) The amount of time you are willing and able to commit to taking surveys
2) Your demographic - meaning do you fit the profile the survey is looking for
3) The amount of survey companies you sign up for. In the past I have always mentioned to sign up for a few and see if you like it first. If you do, then go ahead and sign up for all of them. What is very important though is that you make sure to fill out all the information they are looking for. This, by far, is the most time you will spend. The individual surveys are normally much shorter. Why do they need all this information? The survey companies want to send you surveys that you will qualify for. By filling out all the profile information they are looking for, the better possibility you have of completing the survey and getting your "Fun Money"
Here is my money making list for 2009:
American Consumer Opinion $10Daily Survey $50
Global Opinion $25
HCD $50
IPSOS-ISAY $51
Lightspeed $140
MySurvey $150
Opinion Outpost $64
Palm Research $25
Saynation $25
Surveyhead $53
Survey Savvy $43
Survey Spot $54
Toluna $62
Valued Opinion $80
Pinecone $70 (they open up for new members a few times a year)
Other Misc. $64
TOTAL $1016
What you also want to keep in mind is that this list does not include all the free product samples I received to try out for these companies. Those are just extra bonuses! It also does not include the extra focus panels that I often add to the Facebook Fan page. I did several of these this past year, including one that paid $250 plus I received a free video camera!
I hope that this list will help you in deciding what survey companies to sign up with and I wish you a prosperous new year!
