Online Surveys are an easy way to earn a little extra money for your family and/or get some really neat prizes! I have been collecting a list of companies that hire people to take online surveys. Some of the companies looked more reputable than others. You'll have to decide what looks the best for you.
I have ONE main piece of advice when it comes to online survey companies:

#1 Read the online surveys compensation plan carefully. Some of the companies have you take these time consuming surveys for only a chance to be added to a drawing. Before you spend your valuable time taking surveys, make sure that you are getting paid cash, points that can be converted to a cash payment or "real" prizes (gift cards, movies, cd's, electronics, cell phone etc...) Know before you take the survey-time is money!

If you have had positive or negative experience with an online survey company please email me so we can add them to the thumbs up or thumbs down list below.
