companies will only send sweepstake surveys to begin with and once you have taken a few will move you up to an earned incentive. Take note if companies only offer sweepstakes or if these are the only surveys you ever receive after you have been a member for a few months this may indicate that these companies want your opinion but never intend to pay you for your time. Keep the company if you like but put them on the bottom of your surveys to do list.

One of the most important lessons I learned while signing up for survey companies was to never pay for a list of survey companies. The list I received contained information that I had already found online free of charge. Even more upsetting than the information they sent me being available for free was the realization that I was already a member of at least 50% of the companies they sent in their list.

Invitations to surveys are sent by email and will tell you a bit about the survey before you agree to take it or not. The incentive for the survey is posted in the email and is the amount you will receive if you screen out if you qualify you will receive more points that will be stated upon successful completion of the screening questions. You are not made continue with the survey at that point but are told what you can earn if you complete the full survey, how long it is expected to take, and then asked if you want to continue. You can choose no and still earn the screening question points.

* PineCone Research - This is the best panel I have ever found. This is also the hardest to join panel I have ever found. This company pays you five dollars for each survey you take for them. Their
