If you have a computer and like giving your opinion, you might want to try doing online surveys from home to make a little extra cash while trying new products. There are hundreds of companies that enlist research panels of average consumers to complete surveys online. The key is to sign up with several survey sites which are all free to join to increase your chances of being selected for the surveys.

When you join a survey site, you provide your personal and demographic information, which credible survey sites will not disclose to any other party. That information is used to select participants for surveys on specific products and services.

When you are selected as a panel member, you will receive an e-mail inviting you to take a short screening survey to determine if you fit the profile for that particular survey. If you qualify, you will be asked to take a longer online survey in exchange for some sort of compensation.

6 Companies That Will Pay You for Taking Online Surveys - Money Saving Mom®

Compensation varies by company and by survey. You may receive a few dollars, or be sent free products in exchange for trying them and providing feedback about them. Most surveys "pay" by entering participants into a sweepstakes. I have taken about a dozen surveys myself with the two online survey sites I joined. However, I found it easy and enjoyable to answer the questions. Experienced survey site members like Christa Alewine of Georgia also enjoy getting all kinds of free products, from graham crackers to dog food.

Her children look forward to getting products in the mail to test at home and have even participated in some surveys for children with parental approval. She estimates that she is paid cash for 10 percent of the surveys she completes and receives free products for many of them. Christa began by earning money playing online games for 30 minutes a day and now earns more by spending that 30 minutes completing surveys.

Experienced online survey members recommend joining several survey sites at least five to 10 if you want to take daily surveys. Register with an e-mail address that you check frequently so you can respond quickly and, of course, be honest and accurate in filling out the survey.

Don't get discouraged if you are not selected as a survey participant after your first few screening surveys, as it may take you a while to see which survey companies' needs match your demographics. It would be impossible to list all the legitimate online survey sites available, but you can find many by entering the term "paid survey sites" in a search engine.

Be warned, though, there are also many sites that pose as survey sites to obtain marketing information from consumers. These sites will sell your information to advertisers, and you will get tons of unsolicited spam if you sign up with them. To avoid this, be sure you read any site's privacy policy before you enroll to make sure it is a legitimate survey site.

If a site were a marketing site posing as a survey site, it would disclose its practice of sharing member information with other parties in their privacy policy. If you can't find a privacy policy link prominently displayed on its site, skip that site and look for another one to join. Additionally, some sites will ask if they can share your information with other parties, and will already have the "yes" box checked. If you uncheck the box, you can avoid getting unsolicited e-mails.

A credible Web site's privacy policy will have a statement like this one: Sections Sections Top Stories Watch U.
