Lapis Lee’s Top Five Survey Panels (July)

I started keeping records of my online paid surveys January 31, 2008. I spend an average of two to three hours per day taking surveys. $10024.48 in 55 months from 17 survey sites, which is $182.26 per month. The average survey site earned $10.72 per month.

About 20% of my earnings are from product tests and Invoke Interactives. I do not keep track of prizes or free products, but I do include contest wins. I only add in points accumulated after they have been redeemed due to the difficulty of calculating point values. This month’s product tests include toothpaste, hair conditioner, disposable razors and anti-perspirant/deoderant.

Only three of the surveys I completed were for more than $1; however, I am doing the Business Diary for 2000 points ($18.18) again. The product tests and Business Diary are the only reasons I stay with this site.

In July I completed nine surveys for 130 points ($13) out of 64 attempts. That is an average of $1.44 per survey completed. Due to my lack of time and increasingly lower paying surveys, I have decided to unsubscribe from Opinion Outpost after earning $1434.70 in 43 months.
