All providers on our list are legitimate and reputable market research institutes, mostly with international survey implementation experience. They are often commissioned by large corporations to carry out surveys. These institutes still offer payment for your opinion.

On the one hand, you are paid for each completed online survey; on the other hand, you participate in the enhancement of products and ideas and can get to know the latest innovations first hand. On a personal level, you will, in all probability, learn quite a bit about yourself, your preferences and averseness to certain products and developments.

Everyone with an Internet connection. As a rule, there is a minimum age limit, which varies from provider to provider, that permits participation from the age of 16 or 18 years onwards. Furthermore, you may only register once with each provider.

Well, you will not earn enough to get rich! Payment varies for each survey and generally depends on the length of the respective survey. However, this could lead to a nice discretionary earning if one registers with several market research institutes.  As a rule, you are paid about $5 per survey - depending on its length - but you can even earn up to $15 for surveys on special topics or with special requirements. This can lead to an appropriate hourly income if one is invited regularly to participate in surveys.

There are various payment models; either your remuneration is paid by cheque or transferred to your PayPal account or you are sent shopping vouchers or non-monetary bonuses. Most providers also carry out lottery drawings, where participants can win non-cash prizes, vouchers or cash - often simply by registering.  However, some providers only offer these winnings by means of lotteries.

You need to attain a certain minimum in credits before being paid out. If you are paid out in money, you are either sent a cheque by mail or the money is transferred to your PayPal account. In the case of payment by voucher, these are either sent to you by email or by mail and can then be used to shop offline or online in special shops. In the case of non-monetary bonuses, you can select a gift online, which corresponds to the value of the points you have collected (the more points, the greater the selection) and is subsequently sent to you by mail.

If you register with several providers, you will also receive more invitations, which leads to higher overall earnings. However, be careful - there are also some black sheep who only pretend to carry out surveys. A legitimate market research institute will never want to send you any advertisements or charge a registration fee. It is best to only use our list of reputable providers and market research institutes.

You must register individually with all the institutes (in our list). We do not offer a "registration service". Registration ensues by answering a few questions about yourself on the respective websites of the market research institutes.

The personal data serves to classify you for the surveys relevant for you. Often, surveys only pertain to a particular group of people, e.g. women, because a man generally has little interest in women's handbags. The address data is only used for the positive identification of your person, i.e. that it is really you who is participating in the survey and not some "alias" you have created. This is for security purposes only and also guarantees the correct payment of the remuneration for your participation.
