Paid surveys? Why companies pay for opinions

[eric10glitcher10]

Why is your US site in Spanish?

[PaidOpinion]

@eric10glitcher10 We have a spanish language site available in the US called centrodeopinion(dot)com and our english language site is opinionoutpost(dot)com . We have made the Spanish language site available in the US due to a high demand.

[eric10glitcher10]

@PaidOpinion Oh, OK, thank you. :)

Out of 5 years, I've collected about $500. I get the Amazon dollars and so this is my "fun" money. I usually spend it on stuff at Amazon I wouldn't spend my "real" money on.

[ekummel]

You may be given the oportunity to fill out 6-7 surveys everyday. The surveys are anywhere from 10 to 30 points on average. A point is roughly equivalent to about a dime (10 cents). If you answer all the preliminary questions, then you qualify for the survey and when you complete the survey, you get the points deposited into your account that you can redeem for online services. But you won't qualify for every survey, and there's the rub.

[ekummel]

I don't know if I'm violating some kind of rule here, but yes, Opinion Outpost is legit. I know, I'm just some invisible person typing on a keyboard thousands of miles from wher you are, so let me give you some details.

After you give them some details about you, they will send you half a dozen surveys every other day or so, sometimes more. For each one you complete. you get points. You redeem these points for a check, Visa give card Several online merchants and my favorite, Amazon.

I don't know much about online opinions, but i do know something about market research telephone surveys, and invitations to go someplace and give your opinion. If someone offers to pay you if you go someplace, ask them the name of the research company, and if they have registered with the Better Business Bureau in your city. And, if you read their ad in the newspaper, look for clues that show they're legitimate. Also, you can find out if your city has an ordinance to follow. You CAN make $

Opinion Outpost is great! It really does work and I've received a bunch of Amazon GCs from them. It's not a scam.

[KatyReaL]

@DownloadDownload987 I think there are a few options, but the way I get my money is a cheque in the mail. I was actually surprised when I got my first cheque because I had assumed the site wouldn't really follow through with paying me - but I've made close to $100 now! lol

[jarjon76]

I've been a member of Opinion Outpost for a year and I LOVE it. It does pay and you get surveys on a daily basis. It's a great way to make some extra cash and give your opinion.

[tarah86]

lol, at all the people that think making money from surveys is a scam. It is not if you know where to look, that's not hard either. Here's one hint on survey sites : you don't have to pay them for anything! I've been doing it for years and I love it!

[Rampage434]

Good survey site and you do get your rewards, been with them for 8 months, they are great!!!!

[IguanaVera]

@DownloadDownload987 I have workedf for Opionion Outpost for years and YE^S they are for real.

[PaidOpinion]

@DownloadDownload987 We are currently working on offering more cash out options. Our goal is to create the most convenient rewards system for our panelists.

[sarasmiles1432]

I am very interested in doing this. Both me and my husband. It's hard to find legitimate survey websites. So we are hoping it will work out for us

[supersteelpokemon]

So you need to be 18 or above? That ruined my day.

[Scruffy13764]

My opinion is that ads on youtube should continue because people like 15 who need money can make videos and put ads on to make money!

[NpopGG]

My opinion is for advertisement on youtube to stop.. Opinions dont matter.

[kilssj2250]

Most of these seem to be scams or far too freakin complicated to wanna join up in. At least that seems to be the scenario when I ever tried even lookin INTO these things. I mean anybody else know the Scam-name Mystery Shoppin and Yette Rollins

RESEARCH PROCESS INC. ??? I do, it was a freakin scam that ended with THREATS from the person scammin ME o_0

[PaidOpinion]

@kilssj2250 Thanks for addressing your concerns. I don't know much about Mystery Shopping but as far as Market Research goes there are some scams out there. The best way to know if a survey company is legitimate is to look for there affiliation with industry bodies like Esomar, AAPOR extra. 

[Lucy06A]

@kilssj2250

Opinion outpost is not a scam. You can message me and I will show you a screen shot I already made $50. I have also made $15(amazon gift card) from another site by following a point system.

[onekinkstar]

@kilssj2250 This company is for real, because I've been with them for several years. You won't get rich doing surveys for any company though, it's more like a few bucks here and there. If you're lucky you might get to test a product once in a while too. Any money I might make I donate to an animal rescue group, who does emergency medical are for dogs and cats.

[Tubbsmcfat]

Do you guys support PayPal?

[PaidOpinion]

@Tubbsmcfat We currently do not offer PayPal in the US and Canada but do have it in Europe. We are however currently aggressively looking into a PayPal option in the US and Canada.

[EmilioTV57]

[MadMaffMaff]

[afterlifeproducer]

[PaidOpinion]

[Sinfestgirl]

[PaidOpinion]

@Sinfestgirl Great question! We don't. So we monitor the responses people give us and reward those who give proper feedback and over time even will kick people out who don't.

[cristiano4227]

How much can I make a survey (price range please) and is there a website for Canada?

[bartman1337]

@cristiano4227 it's usually somewhere around a dollar

[PaidOpinion]

@cristiano4227 Thanks for your question, Opinion outpost is actually for USA and Canada. We also have a UK site opinionoutpost.co.uk.

The price range will be about $1- $4 per survey depending on how long the survey is. So a 10 minute survey may pay $1 and a 20 Minute may pay $2.50.

[PaidOpinion]

@cristiano4227 Actually Opinion Outpost is for US and Canada
