Make Money from Websites – 6 to Try – Earn via Surveys and Other Tasks

Rewarding websites that pay you to complete surveys and other tasks. Make money from home and Make Money from Websites – My Top 6 Rewarding Sites

So you want to make money from websites?

YES! DUH. 

I personally prefer using apps over websites because I have trouble just remembering to keep up with the websites. There are many I tried that paid me next to nothing. I will list those in a separate post.

My experience?

It can be frustrating if you have not used a survey site or microtask site (e.g., watching ads, completing offers, answering polls, etc.) – microtask may be the wrong word here but essentially just other little activities for points or money. If you google survey sites or sites to make money, you will find A TON.

My problem was I kept trying them out and kept googling when some I tried would leave me with maybe $1 in my balance after hours because it kept disqualifying me, was glitchy, had very time-consuming surveys, had no surveys but I kept checking, etc.

Tips for Keeping Track of Survey Sites

When you start to sign up for too many to find the ones you like, it can be hard to keep track of them. I find it harder when its website.

A suggestion I have is to track which ones you try and which ones you like.

• If you want to do this easily – you can bookmark each survey site and create a subfolder in bookmarked sites for survey sites.
• Also, I would suggest creating two off the bat and say “good survey sites” and “bad survey sites” – just bookmark the ones you try once you decide if you like it or not.

Keep Changing Your Approach

If you change your mind later, well save it as a bookmark in the other folder (if you like a site that you bookmarked as bad survey sites) and delete the bookmark from the original folder. This can keep you organized in a few ways:

• You will remember the names of which survey sites you have actually tried at some point in time.
  • This gets hard if you try out really over 5 sites. A lot have similar names. Who wants to spend time searching them back down before even the time to take the survey?
• It can help you remember which ones you like and are worth going to, and which ones you do not.
  • I have revisited some that I do not like because I forget and see a good review for it.
  • Know not all of the sites you see recommended will necessarily be great for everyone since surveys are so demographic focused.

These are only some websites I personally like. I will post additional lists in the future as I spend more time on figuring on the ones I like since admittedly, I do like apps much more than using websites.

Getting started

To get you started, here is my current list of my top 6 platforms to make money for websites. 

My top 6 Websites for Surveys and Other Money Making Tasks – How to Make Money from Websites

1. OneOpinion

• Visit the site here: https://www.oneopinion.com.
• Tasks: this is primarily a survey site.
  • Surveys can take anywhere from 5-30 minutes.
  • Occasionally, you may qualify for a focus group.
    • The ones I did were online at a set time and just required a chatroom function (no video) and paid about $30 for 30 minutes and were really fun!Tip: if you do get a focus group invite, do not ignore the instructions when it says to join the room prior to the time the focus group begins.
    • These rooms DO fill up and then you just miss out on completing it.
    • It is a first-come basis once invited (at least for the ones I did). 
• Note: that you typically answer a few questions up front and then it says you qualify for a survey.
  • You do not get a list of options for possible surveys to choose from.
  • So you cannot decide you want the 500 point one that only takes 5 minutes. It will give you one option.
  • If it looks too long, you can always come back to the site later.
• Rewards: Surveys reward you in points that range from around 500 points to 2500 points.
  • DQ reward? Yes. If you start to take a survey and it says you are not in the group they are looking for, you will get 50 points for trying. You get 50 points for up to 5 surveys that you disqualify for per day.
    • It is still a good thing about this website that they actually give you something even when you do not qualify. This is certainly not the case with every survey site or app.
• Payout: You can request payment in the form of a PayPal when you reach 25,000 points. 25,000 points = roughly $25.

Payment

• Payment timing: Expect to see your payout reflected in your PayPal account after about a few days to a week. Usually just a few days for me. 
• Do you Need to Request Payment? YES. Once you hit this minimum, payment is not automatic. You need to request it.
  • Note: when you redeem, you always redeem 25,000 points for $25.
  • So if you have 26,000 points when you go to redeem, 25,000 points will be deducted from your balance and you will get $25. You will have a remaining balance of 1,000 points. You cannot request to get the full amount – just $25 options. This can be sort of annoying.
• Why do I like this site?
  • Payout is fair for time spent. 
  • Few technical glitches.
  • I also do not have the issue where I get to the end of the survey and then it says I am not the right demographic – which happens with a lot of other sites.
  • 50 point award for when you disqualify which is usually after only a few questions (so only a minute or 2 of your time). A lot of sites give you nothing and may make you wait longer or until the end of the survey to say you do not qualify and still not reward you.
    • This is essentially 50 cents for 1 or 2 minutes. Which is not too bad and shows the site is willing to do something for your efforts.

2. Toluna

• Sign up for this site here using my referral code: here.
• Tasks: This is a site with surveys and other tasks you can complete for points such as polls and games.
• Test out products: It has a page where you can request to test out products.
  • There is usually only one product available at a given time but it shows you ones that are coming soon.
  • You request to test it out. 
  • Testers are randomly selected and mailed the product. You get to keep the product for free in exchange for your feedback.
  • Admittedly, I have only requested a few products to test, but have not gotten one yet. I would suggest doing it more frequently if you are interested in this. Who doesn’t like free stuff?
  • I do not know how many people that sign up end up getting products. This site is popular so perhaps the rate is low. 
• Other tasks – Panels & Focus Groups? I have read that you can get invites to panels and focus groups via this site, but I have yet to receive this invite.
• Rewards: Points that you accrue from surveys and other tasks can be redeemed for various gift card options.
• Why do I like this site?
  • I think the points you get for the surveys, based on the time they take, is very fair.
  • Also, it is another site that I do not run into the you basically finish a survey and then it decides you are not part of the right demographic. This is a big thing for me because it can waste a ton of time.

3. SwagBucks

• Visit the site here using my referral code to sign-up:  http://www.swagbucks.com/p/register?rb=36445920.
  • From here you can also download the Swagbucks app from the App Store or Google Play.
• Referral program? YES. Both you and I get 300 points if you use my referral code. 300 points is roughly $3.
  • Also, once you sign up and refer others, you get 10% of all points they generate for life. 
• Other Swagbucks Apps?
  • There are a few apps as well, one of which is Swagbucks Answer (a survey app), which is discussed in more detail in my post on survey apps. 
  • There is also there is the Swagbucks Local app, which I have found little luck with.
  • Swagbucks IQ is a trivia app, which is discussed more in this post.
• Rundown: the site let’s you get points for completing surveys, trying out various offers (more points for ones you spend money on and note: be careful with the “free” ones.
  • Just be sure you’ve read the terms prior to agreeing.), watching videos, playing games and answering daily polls.

Payment and Pros and Cons

• Payout: points can be exchanged for various gift cards.
• One of the more popular make money from websites options out there.
  • I think it is good – especially that it offers multiple ways to get points
• Con: the integration between the site and multiple apps is tedious and not very easy. Personally, my number of “Swagbucks” seems to be unique to whatever platform I use. I am assuming this can be integrated, yet when already dealing with multiple apps and a website, it’s not a fun or seamless process I feel is worth taking.

4. MySoapBox

• Where to get? Sign up on the site here using my referral link.
• Referral program? I do receive points if you use my link. However, I am unsure if you do. I will be honest about this. A pro is you get points when you refer others down the road.
• Rundown: Primarily a survey site. 
• Payout: Exchange points earned for various gift cards.
• Pro: Time spent for a survey can generate a good amount of points.
• Cons: This can be a huge one.
  • You can spend 5 or so minutes on a survey and it says you now qualify for some other survey. Then you start it and go through the same thing.
    • It turns into an endless loop. I think that one time around getting your demographics (ESPECIALLY when you also are asked additional questions) should be enough if you will only be redirected to another survey.
  • My thing: Don’t make people spend too much time now re-entering those demographic answers. Unless the site expects you to spend an additional year of your life on it. This was not always the issue so hopefully it is fixed soon.

5. GrindaBuck

• Sign up using my referral link here.  Also can click on the banner below.

• Rundown: LOTS of various tasks such as surveys, watching videos, just visiting sites, polls, etc. 
• Payout: Gift cards OR this site offers payout in the form of the main cryptocurrencies out there – BitCoin, BitCoin Cash, Ethereum, and Litecoin. Also can redeem for PayPal, Amazon, as well as other various gift card options.
• Payout method: Tons of options from PayPal to CryptoCurrency. 
  • For your first payout, you need to reach 10,000 points (which is about $10). After that, you can redeem points for lower amounts ($5 at first and as you progress, $1 or $2.50 options for some gift cards are available).
• Tasks: In terms of how to get points to get this pay-out, this site also gives you tons of options and a wide variety.
  • What I think is great is that it will label some as quick tasks or micro tasks. If you do not feel like spending 20 minutes on a survey (like with some sites, even if the reward will be higher), no worries here! You can really tailor the tasks AND your rewards to fit what you are looking for.

6. OpinionOutpost

• Visit the site here: https://www.opinionoutpost.com. OR use my referral link here.

  • You get $1 for each of the first 5 friends you refer.
  • Maximum is $5.
  • My referral link is: here.
• Rundown: Survey site that awards you points for surveys.
• Points awarded is pretty fair for time it takes, so that is why I include it in my top ways to make money from websites.
• Payout: for 100 points, you can redeem $10 cash to your PayPal account. This is a low minimum amount, which is great.
