Looking for an honest legitimate way to put a little extra money in your pocket? Using survey sites can be an easy way to put a little extra money in your pocket. I have personally used the two survey sites below and I can tell you that they do work. They are also fairly easy to use.
When it comes to surveying sites, the more time you have to put in, the more money you will make. Remember to always be honest when answering questions. And remember that you don’t have to do EVERY survey that you see.
Today I am sharing two survey sites with you that I have personally used. Yes, there are some scams out there, but I am here to tell you that these two sites are not a scam. They are so great that you can receive a $15 bonus just for signing up.
THINGS TO REMEMBER WHEN USING SURVEY SITES
- Always be honest.
- Always read the questions, they will ask you a question from time to time just to see if you’re paying attention and actually reading the questions.
- You don’t have to do every single survey. You can pick and choose the surveys you do.
- The more time you put into doing the surveys, the more money you will make.
You will want to pick a time when you can actually focus on the surveys you are doing. I like to wake up before the kids and drink my coffee while I complete a couple surveys. Sometimes at night, I lay in bed with my laptop or my phone as well. These are the times when I am able to focus without distraction
What are surveys and why would someone want to pay you to complete them?
A survey is a set of questions usually on a particular topic or item. Brands want to know what your thoughts are so they can figure out what they may be doing wrong, or what products they should create next.
For example, the last survey I did was for moms with younger children. They asked questions about my opinion on allergies. The questions were to see if a product they are thinking of creating would be beneficial to me or moms like me.
If you think about it, asking questions and getting opinions about an item before you spend thousand’s of dollars to create it, is a smart financial move. When they ask you questions it benefits them and you.
TWO LEGIT SURVEY SITES THAT YOU CAN USE TO MAKE EXTRA MONEY
SwagBucks is a survey site that posts new surveys daily for you to complete. In return you are given points called “SB points”, you are able to cash your points in for cash or gift cards.
While surveys are the main way to earn SB points through swagbucks, they also offer other ways to earn points.
You can earn SB points by taking surveys, watching videos and participating in daily polls. You can use this with your smartphone, computer or tablet. I prefer using my desktop because I feel like its easier to navigate their site that way. However, you can use whatever device you want.
.
I haven’t had any trouble with swagbucks being credited to my account. All points are usually credited pretty quickly.
It is completely free to sign up for Swagbucks and if you sign up under my link here you will receive a $10 bonus!
IndboxDollars is another survey site that I enjoy using. In return for answering surveys, you are given a set amount of money per a survey. Anywhere from $0 .10 – $5.00 a survey.
New surveys are posted daily from lots of trusted brands. The surveys are pretty simple and range from a couple minutes to 40 minutes to complete. You can use your smartphone, tablet or computer to complete the surveys. I have used my smartphone and my desktop to complete surveys through InboxDollars and I believe they are both equally easy to navigate.
I personally haven’t had any trouble with payments being credited to my account.
It is also completely free to signup for InboxDollars. For a limited time, if you sign up with my link here you will receive a $5 bonus! 🙂
I am trying out a few other survey sites and I will be posting about them in the future. I will only post sites that I have personally used and have found, to be honest. I will also only post survey sites that are free for you to use. I believe you should never have to pay to take a survey. If you come across a survey site that wants you to pay them money, that is a red flag. I would recommend not signing up. The two in this post are completely free for you and I have found them to be legitament survey sites.
Have you ever used survey sites before? Do you have any that you have tried out and would recommend?

Hi Stacey! I signed up under you for Swagbucks and met the 300 SB goal, so you & both earned an extra 300 SB! Whoo hoo!! I have not tried InboxDollars yet. I am loving Swagbucks though. Do you use Ibotta, Ebates, and Checkout 51 for shopping? If not, you need to look into them! Check out my post: 5 Reasons to Use Ibotta:
