Make money online. Easy.

Many people thought that doing online surveys was a hoax. Before the internet, people were paid for phone surveys and attending focus groups. But now times have changed. From the comfort of your own time, and in your own time, you can earn extra income by signing up to paid survey websites. And this blog will show you how.

But first,
you may want to create a secondary email account (eg Gmail or YahooMail) to use - even though the paid survey sites I will show you don't send spam, it's always handy to keep your survey emails separate from more important ones.

This blog will compare the most well known and recommended survey websites in Australia. Ranging from polls, clicks, surveys and videos, you can earn from 5c (clicks) up to $80 (surveys). The money can be redeemed in a number of different ways (eg. bank deposits, Paypal, varoius gift cards) to pay for groceries, fuel or to add to your savings.

I have signed up to the below survey websites, and I receive about 30 emails per week to fill out surveys for, on average, $3 each. So I sit on my laptop in front of the TV and answer the questions. The extra $100 or so a week really does add up (around $5,000 a year!). The websites below are listed with the highest rating at the top. Sign up by clicking the link provided.
