I started doing online surveys about 5 months ago and have to say it takes quite a while for the surveys to start coming in regularly. And often you are not eligible for those that come in.

So far I have made about $50. Not much, but now the surveys are coming very regularly and the earnings are going up at a faster speed. But I have to say that I dont live in the USA, so lots of surveys are not available to me.

For everybody who wants to make money answering online-surveys: be very patient and dont give up before time.

Sites I would personally recommend (Because they send regular surveys and pay):

1. Globaltestmarket: http://globaltestmarket.com
(3-120 Marketpoints per survey / 1000 Marketpoints = $50)

2. Test and Vote: http://www.testandvote.com
(Pays in Amazon vouchers or others + Product tests, so far receiver £5 Amazon voucher, another £10 under way)

3. Ciao!: http://www.ciao-surveys.com/
(£0.50 to £1.50 pro survey so far)

4. Brand Institute: http://www2.brandinst.com/surv eys/
(Last one paid a $10 cheque)

5. Ipsos: http://www.ipsos.com/interacti ve/panels.aspx
(10-200 points per survey exchangeable for products on partnersites)
