Survey Programs and PayPal – Part 2
In Part 1 of this feature on online survey companies, I talked about the Stockholm-based Cint. I have received a couple additional surveys from their clients, three of which were paying the maximum amount. However, they were reported as already completed, even though I cleared my browser’s cookies before clicking the survey links, so it is not fail-proof, it seems. At least it didn’t waste my time, but gave me a prompt confirmation.
I believe the survey companies that you find in this list send out new surveys on a pretty frequent basis, and that they pay in reasonable time (a couple of days, 1-2 weeks perhaps). My focus is on companies accepting International users and PayPal. Bear in mind that the number of surveys you receive from these companies depends heavily on targeted demographics, such as: where you live, age, education etc.
Survey companies accepting International users and PayPal
Company: Survey Head
About: Founded in 2008, adds $5 in your account upon verifying it.
Minimum payout amount: $25
Note: I received the confirmation e-mail an hour later. Earned $6 during that time.
Company: Lightspeed Panel
About: Available in selected countries. Current point exchange rate is 115 points for $1.
Minimum payout amount: Around $5
Note: Worldwide, but not all countries are eligible. Supposedly trust-worthy, with some ups and downs.
Company: Esearch
About: Founded in 1995, Esearch was one of the pioneers in online market research.
Minimum payout amount: None, and the money is automatically PayPal’d.
Note: Easy to sign up, nice and clean website layout.
Company: Brand Institute
About: Brand Institute was founded in 1995 and pride themselves on being experts on branding. Sign up using the Register link on their website, update your profile and participate in their surveys.
Minimum payout amount: Not sure.
Note: Panel members have different opinions, but they all seem to agree that Brand Institute delivers. Their payouts are pretty late, by up to 1-2 months, but they pay pretty well.
In conclusion
Filling out online surveys is but one of many easy ways to earn some extra money online. From what I have observed in the last couple of days, while researching survey companies welcoming International participants and PayPal, I realized it’s not easy to find them. By all means: join them; you will earn enough money to cover a GDI membership, web hosting etc., which is why I brought this up in the first place. A few dollars with little effort.
In my experience, so far, the Cint Panel clients are more eager with sending out new surveys, and they pay almost immediately to my PayPal account upon requesting a payout. I almost wish the rest was like them.

Hello, I found this site when i was looking for web sites related to survey. I have tell you, your site is good. I like the design too, its refreshing. I don’t have the time now to slowly read your site but I have noted it and I also signed up for your RSS feed. I will be back in a day or two. Thanks for a helpful blog.
Hi and thanks for your comment! I am currently using the Flexibility 2 theme, which is free of cost. It is very customizable with its own theme options panel with anything from theme colors to ad placement, feature spots and more. You can download the Flexibility 2 theme from here: Flexibility Theme. Even though I would ultimately want to develop my own theme from scratch some day, just by putting together a relatively simple landing page (sales page) template for WP recently, I’ve come to realize how time and effort it requires, let alone a whole theme, and I really respect people who put together free Premium quality themes such as the Flexibility 2 one. I strongly suggest you have a look and try it out!
