There are literally thousands of survey sites out there, but how do you know which are trustworthy and, better still, which pay the best? Here’s our definitive guide to exactly that – which are the best paid survey sites?

First up is surveysavy.com – this website has a patented referral system that they claim is one of the most innovative around. This means that your earnings will grow faster than with most other companies. A nice little extra is that if you can’t do a particular survey that they send you because of some factor (country restrictions et cetera) they will enter you in a prize draw to win $10 every month!

Next, you might want to check out dailysurveypanel.com. Once you look past the bright, bold colors of the website you will find a very trustworthy affiliate network. Their unique selling point is speed – they have extremely quick payouts with you being able to withdraw after one or two surveys, and payments are processed usually within 24-48 hours – much lower than the industry average!

If you good site designs make you feel confident about a survey site, opinionoutpost.com is what you want to see. It is very well designed and, of course, high paying and reputable as a company. They have a very friendly customer experience and believe in companies who properly value your opinion which is a change from most other sites.

The last one to focus on here is FocusForward – again a very nicely designed site that will give you confidence in them. Their unique selling point is their customer service where, amazingly, you can expect a reply to your query in under 30 minutes! Unlike most survey sites, FocusForward go a step further and allow you to participate in person in focus groups or over the phone market research. These events can bring in cash in the range of $50-$200 each time!
