Have you ever heard about making money by giving your opinions about a product or company?
Yes, you can earn money by answering those simple questions. Those series of questions is called a paid survey.
Paid surveys are one of the easiest ways to make money online for beginners if they join in good paying sites.
There are many paid survey sites on the internet but not all paid survey sites are legit. There are some scams too. But don’t worry. In this post, I will suggest you the legit paid survey sites to start making money online from home.
Before, looking on the top paid survey sites, I will offer you some simple tricks to check if a site is legit or scam.
Table of Contents
Tricks to identify scam sites to avoid time and energy loss:
1) Legit paid survey sites are always free to join:
If you find any paid survey site asking you pay $$ for the membership then you can clearly identify that it is a scam site.
Because all legit survey sites are free to join. Paid survey sites earn money from the company which conducts this survey. And you don’t have to pay money to them.
2) Check for the availability of payment proofs online
This is another easiest way to check if a site pays its users or not. Just Google Search payment proofs for the particular paid survey site.
Use this syntax ” Payment proofs + Paid Survey site ”
If you don’t find any payment proofs online for the particular survey site, then it is clear that it is a scam site.
3) Too much of ads on the website isn’t good:
If you find a paid survey site with too many ads, then you must think about avoiding the particular site.
Because all legit paying survey sites avoid this excessive ad on their website. This isn’t an exact method to identify whether a site is legit or scam, but it indirectly marks a scam.
Now, let’s have a look at the top paid survey sites of 2020.
Top 10 Paid Survey sites of 2020:

I want to first introduce you to the Best place to find all good paid survey sites. It’s called PanelPlace. PanelPlace has more than 1,000,000 members. They have tied up with major survey panels, making your work simpler. I would recommend you to join PanelPlace.

Nice list of survey sites. There are loads more good Cint survey sites you’ve missed out though including Triaba, CFS Panel, Opini and Pollbuzzer.
Thanks for letting us know about these paid survey sites Stacy 🙂
Hmmm..Not sure if this belongs here but can anyone tell me how to make money online besides
I would tell you, Kermit. In paid survey sites, when you finish up an online survey, you will be paid a small amount. That’s how you can make money at Paid Survey sites.
Sometimes people don’t believe me when I tell them about how much you can make taking paid surveys online…
So I took a video of myself actually getting paid $500 for paid surveys to finally set the record straight.
I’m not going to leave this video up for long, so check it out now before I take it down!
Hello Veena, take surveys for cash that you shared with us in there on the internet for past 3 years. But, the hard reality is that it is a scam. Also, they charge you around $39 for watching that video, worth nothing. I have been trying paid surveys for the last 3 years and I know, that the amount you receive for each survey ranges from $0.1 – $3. That’s how paid surveys work.
If you have really earned money out of them, could you please share your payment proof? We are eagerly looking forward to it.
Also, I have used ThirstyAffiliates plugin and covered the URL, so that it will be easy for me to take down this link when you couldn’t prove it is a legit site.
Many many years back I tried filling surveys and earning some pocket money, but I never succeeded. Well maybe trying some of your recommendations would do it better. Maybe if you are a good writer I can offer some ideas, just visit my blog.
Thank you, Dieter:) I will definitely visit your blog.
Let’s put it simple: if you want to be successful online,
you need targeted traffic, and the best way to drive targeted
traffic to your pages is with good search engine rankings.
However, if you want to generate traffic from the search
engines, your pages must appear on the first results page
for the keywords and phrases you target…
Yes, you are exactly right Raadhika. If you need to be successful, you need targetted traffic from search engines.
It doesn’t matter how much traffic you get from search engines. The question is all about if it is targetted or not?
