Look, you're not going to get rich doing this. But if making some extra income per month would help, then this might be for you. Read on.

We have partnered with over 200 market research companies that are looking for panelists. We evaluate each company and tell you the specialty of each one, including their strengths and weaknesses. You will see our evaluation of each one in the members area (a free service to you). You will not actually take surveys on our site, but you will connect directly with each survey company. You will complete surveys for them and be compensated by them.

If you are the kind of person that enjoys giving your opinions about new products and services and getting paid for it, then you've found something you're going to really enjoy.

And the best part is that this service is NO COST to you.

Here's what it's all about. My name is Hailey Gates and I'm a stay at home mom of three young children. I have been making money taking surveys at home for several years. I just do it when I have some time throughout my day.

I've been doing this so successfully for a few years now that the Marketing Research companies want me to find other like-minded people who can take paid surveys at home. People like you.

When I first started in this business I had to pay $35 for a list of paid survey companies. But YOU don't have to pay that. I'm giving you the same list for free.

Here's how it works. Fortune 500 corporations spend millions of dollars per year with Market Research companies to try to find out what their consumers really want. That's where you come in. The Market Research companies send you surveys that you complete online right at your computer and then pay you for your time and effort. It's very simple.

You've heard of the companies that need your opinions. Companies like Apple, Ford, Starbucks, TGI Fridays, Calvin Klein, etc. Virtually every company that sells to the public uses market research in one way or another. And you might have heard of the Market Research companies as well: Nielsen (the TV ratings people), IPSOS, NPD, etc. We currently have over 40 Market Research companies in our members' area (you can see the top 20 here without registering). All of them want your opinions for their clients and they pay you for them.

Here are some of the things you will be doing:

• Getting paid to do online surveys
• Getting paid for answering phone surveys
• Previewing movie trailers
• Getting paid to try out new products (and getting to keep them when you're done)

Register at the top right of this page and I'll teach you the best way to get the highest paying surveys. I'll send you a complimentary email course over the next 7 days that will get you off to an amazingly fast start. Register now to see if there are paid survey opportunities in your area.

All my best!

• How do I get paid?

  When you sign up as a panelist for survey companies, they send you surveys for your demographic (your age, gender, marital status, etc.). You fill out the surveys and then they pay you directly, either by check, PayPal or gift cards (like Amazon or Visa).

• Why would anyone pay me for just filling out surveys?

  Market Research companies pay out millions per year for surveys to find out what people like YOU want. You will be helping to shape the products and services companies will bring to market.

• What's in it for you? Why would you do this?

  We like to be 100% upfront and honest and treat people how we would want to be treated. We get paid by the marketing research firms to find panelists for them. They value your opinion enough to pay us to find YOU.

• What are the risks to me, the survey-taker?

  We suggest that you carefully read the privacy policy of any “market research” company you are planning to sign up with. Many sites pose as market research companies but simply harvest whatever information you give them and resell it to other companies that spam you (and they actually tell you they are going to do this in their privacy policy!). We do not represent any of these kinds of companies. We only partner with authentic and well known market research firms.

• How much can I expect to make?

  That depends on how much you want to work. If you want to spend 20 minutes a day and make an extra $1000 a month, this isn't for you. It's going to require a greater time investment than that. You get out of it what you put into it, just like any other worthwhile venture. We find that you get several lower paying surveys in the beginning ($2 to $5) and once you show that you are a real person and are answering the questions responsibly, you start getting higher paying surveys.

• How do I get started?

  Easy. Just complete the signup form at the top of the page. We will match you with market research companies that are looking for new paid panelists.

• Do I have to give my credit card info to anyone?

  No. Not to us and not to any of the Survey companies we represent. Any Marketing Research company that asks you for money is not legit. You will not find any of those companies in our list.

• What's the catch?

  No catch. You get a free membership to Survey Money Machines and we connect you to the best paying survey companies online. And we don't just leave you there. We train you and give you all the ins and outs of how to maximize your earnings with online surveys.

• Will I get rich?

  No. And anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something. You won't make millions of dollars doing this. It’s just not that kind of opportunity. It’s fun doing surveys at home and getting paid for it makes it even more fun. Simple as that.

• Will you spam me?

  Absolutely not. We hate spam and will never spam you. We will never sell or rent your email address to anyone. We stand by our privacy policy 100%. You can read it here. (By the way, there are other free paid survey sites out there that spam you like crazy and sell your information anyone who pays them for it--please read all privacy policies before signing up at any of those sites)

• What are the requirements for me to be a panelist?

  You need to reside in the U.S., Canada, U.K. or Australia (other countries are being added soon). You need to have a computer or tablet device and an Internet connection. You also need to be able to check your email regularly. In order to qualify for particular surveys, you will need to complete your profile with all relevant demographic information that describes your consumer habits. You will need to allocate time to complete the online surveys. Some surveys require 5 minutes or less, but more extensive surveys may require 20 minutes or more.
