I will state right off the bat that doing paid surveys is never going to make you rich. Not unless you become the owner of the survey company. Paid surveys gives you a bit of extra pocket money at best. Or in some cases, gift cards to give out as Christmas or birthday presents.

But still, it's a way to make a few dollars as you're building up your niche websites here on Wealthy Affiliate and could help to pay for your Premium Membership while you're getting your online business up and running.

The money you receive as compensation is not much for the time you put in, but if you're sitting in front of your computer anyway, then it doesn't hurt to spend a bit of time filling out some online surveys. It's easy to do. Some survey companies are country-specific, but here are a few you can try:

• My Survey
• Valued Opinions
• Tolino
• Live Tribe
• iPoll
• Opinion World
• Global Test Market
• Panel Place
