LapisLee’s Top Five Survey Panels (October 2011)

1. 1. GlobalTestMarket
      • Total Earned Since Joining: $979.90
      • Total Earned This Month: $115.00
      • Monthly Average since joining: $22.25
      • Last Payment Received: $50.50 check on September 9, 2011

In October I completed 18 surveys for 2300 points ($115), including a 1500-point ($75) phone interview on electronics. Here is a check scan of my last GlobalTestMarket payment received.

1. 1. Opinion Outpost
      • Total Earned Since Joining: $1087.80
      • Total Earned in September: $54.80
      • Monthly Average Since Joining: $25.07
      • Last Payment Received: $57.70 check on October 4, 2011
      • Joined: February 4, 2008

In October I completed 28 surveys for 548 points ($54.80). I am concerned with the increasing ratio of 10-point ($1) surveys to others. Last month 16 of the 28 surveys I completed were for 10 points ($1) or less. Opinion Outpost has now merged with SurveySpot, which means all of the surveys now come from the same company; however, Opinion Outpost has added PayPal and now allows you to cash out at $10. Here is a scan of the last several payments I redeemed from Opinion Outpost.

1. 1. SurveySpot
      • Total Earned Since Joining: $739
      • Total Earned This Month: $33
      • Monthly Average Since Joining: $16.80
      • Last Payment Received: $50 PayPal on October 8, 2011
      • Joined: January 30, 2008

In October I completed seven surveys for 3300 points ($33), including an Invoke for 2000 points ($20). Here is a screen capture of my last PayPal payment from SurveySpot.

1. 1. Toluna
      • Total Earned Since Joining: $727
      • Total Earned This Month: $20
      • Monthly Average Since Joining: $16.16

This site requires the most amount of time and effort relative to my earnings. I am now skipping all surveys for less than 3000 points ($1). I completed two 150,000-point ($30) Invokes, which have not yet been credited to my account. Here is a scan of my last payment from Toluna.

1. 1. MySurvey
      • Total Earned Since Joining: $770
      • Total Earned This Month: $9.45
      • Monthly Average: $17.56
      • Last Payment Received: $10 PayPal on October 25, 2011

In October I completed 13 surveys out of 31 attempted for 995 points ($9.45). Five (5) points are awarded for survey disqualifications. This survey site is much better when the free test products are considered; however, I am beginning to wonder why I bother with so many 20, 30 and 50-point (45 cents) surveys. Do you have a list of favorite survey panels? Please leave a comment below and let us know some of the survey panels that work best for you.
