Well hello again! So, I think I mentioned two posts ago that during some time at home from work due to COVID-19, I started doing some surveys for cash online.

I was a bit worried about income because of not being able to work, and I couldn’t go anywhere, plus I was bored out of my tree to be completely honest. So, my boyfriend encouraged me to do surveys online. He refers to it as “free money” as you can do it while watching TV, waiting at a doctor’s office, etc., not to mention it’s extremely easy and some surveys are even fun!

I figured why not get paid for sitting at home? It’s a no-brainer, really. I joined a few different survey sites. Here is a comparison review of three of the ones I participated in:

1. Swagbucks

Swagbucks is free to join and offers a wide range of ways to earn money from them. Nope, not just surveys either!

How to Earn – doing surveys, purchasing gift cards (I always buy a $250 gift card for the grocery store I shop at because I know I’ll use it!), watching videos, downloading apps/free trials, earning cashback when shopping at a variety of stores, reaching your Daily Goal with them, searching the web through their app/website, referrals, scanning your receipts, etc.

Surveys – they offer a variety of surveys on a daily basis typically ranging from 25 – 150 Swagbucks that take anywhere from 5 – 30 minutes generally.

Pay – you can redeem your Swagbucks either through PayPal or buy one of the popular gift cards they offer. I personally do the PayPal option every time because I like the moula!

Bonus: You receive $5 just for signing up.

2. LegerOpinion (Leo)

LegerOpinion, also known as Leo, is another free website where you can complete surveys for cash. They have over 400,000 members approximately, making them a pretty popular online survey site.

How to Earn – completing surveys, monthly draws (for money or gift cards).

Surveys – they typically have new surveys on a daily basis. The bonus from them is that they will many times notify you by email that there is a new survey available. You don’t always get a notification though so make sure to check the app/website for new ones daily. Surveys typically range from 500 – 1500 points and take, on average, 10 – 15 minutes to complete.

Pay – the minimum cashout amount is 20,000 points ($20.00) for the most part. You can redeem them through PayPal, for gift cards or even Air Miles.

Bonus: Not every survey is going to allow you to complete it (on any survey site), but on Leo, you will receive 50 points and either one or two monthly draw entries every time you do get kicked out of a survey.

3. Survey Junkie

Last, but not least, Survey Junkie is a well known survey website that caters to over 10 million members. It’s free to join and offers a great selection of surveys on a daily basis.

How to Earn – first of all, by completing your profile, you will earn points right away! Also, completing surveys.

Surveys – they have several surveys available daily ranging from 5 – 100 points generally. They are usually 5 – 30 minutes in length. If you don’t qualify for a survey, they still reward you with 2 or 3 points.

Pay – Survey Junkie is only available in the U.S., Canada and Australia. In all three countries, you can redeem points through PayPal. In the U.S. only, you can also choose an e-gift card if you prefer instead.

My Favourite – I have personally tried each and every one of these websites/apps and yes, I have a favourite for sure. The one I like best is Swagbucks. Why? They have the most ways (by far!) to make money. Survey sites will not make you rich, but Swagbucks has earned me the most out of all of these, hands down.

Tips: There are many reputable survey sites out there. Wherever you choose to do your surveys for cash, just remember that they should never ask you for money to join. Second, when signing up, the more information you fill out in your profile, the better. That way, you may be chosen for more surveys, as they choose you depending on your demographics, etc.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about any of these.
