The fact is that you are never likely to make big money with online surveys, but it can be a decent way to get a little something extra to spend here and there along the way if you have the patience and time. The following list is in alphabetical order. None of these sites are perfect, but they all have their good points.

GreenfieldOnline.com Most surveys simply earn sweepstakes entries. This one has some great paid surveys for those in computer-related fields, however. If that's you, definitely check it out.

InboxDollars.com You can only do one survey a day here, but there is also money to be made with email click-throughs and other options options on the site.

LightspeedPanel.com - If you earn enough points, you can redeem them for money or items. You can even get payments through PayPal, which is very nice.

MyPoints.com - Offers surveys, cash offers (usually clicking through and accepting offers to get ads and such), and money earned through making purchases on other sites. More geared toward the making cash through purchases and email clickthroughs than anything, but you will get survey offers too. It's a good site, and they get the gift cards out very quickly, but gift cards are the ONLY way you can get payouts currently.

OpinionOutpost.com It takes longer to find a survey you can actually complete and earn something from, but there is money to be made on this one if you have the patience.

SendEarnings.com You can only do one survey a day here, but there is also money to be made with email click-throughs and other options options on the site. Obviously, identical to InboxDollars.com, but you can be a member of both simultaneously.

SurveySpot.com - Have a large variety of surveys that are updated often with new surveys being constantly added. Many only give a sweepstakes entry, but some pay as much as $10 (particularly if you happen to be in IT).

TreasureTrooper.com Offers surveys, cash offers (usually clicking through and accepting offers to get ads and such), and money earned through making purchases on other sites. You can only do one survey a day. It is essentially a less "classy" version of MyPoints, but here you can get cash instead of just gift cards.

Your2Cents.com The surveys aren't as frequent as those from some other sites, but the payouts are decent at usually one or two dollars apiece per survey completed.

ZoomPanel.com Works much the same way as Lightspeed, though they recently added the ability to get points even if you don't complete the survey. You will still get some points for making the effort, and that's nice.
