Pinecone Research is at the fore of “online paid surveys”, taking a sophisticated and leading-edge approach to gathering consumer opinions.

Consumer participation is vital to the development of new and improved products and services and traditional survey methods, although effective, can be problematic and time consuming. Their online research helps to solve this quandary. With online research, you can answer paid surveys from the comfort and convenience of your home PC and at a time that is convenient for you. Your opinion is always worth something to them. They are happy to pay you $5.00 every time you evaluate a product or service which takes no more then 15 to 20 minutes (occasionally they may ship you a product to test). You can expect to be called upon to answer a survey once or twice each month.

The Great UK Survey collects some demographic, lifestyle and purchasing information on consumers in the United Kingdom who join The Great UK Survey and complete their questionnaire.

Consumers choose to complete the survey and decide how much or how little individual and purchasing information they would like to share with them. In return for this they give them the chance to win great prizes on a regular basis! They also assure everyone that they will use the information collected for marketing and research purposes in a professional and appropriate way.

UK Residents Make Money for Mystery Shopping and Testing websites.

Okay, here’s how Visitor Friendly works. Once you sign up as a "visitor" they will assign you a list of websites that need to be reviewed. The website information along with a questionnaire will be sent via email you used when you joined. You will need to complete the questionnaire and return it to them, again via email. Each review will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. For each completed review they will pay you £2.00. So by completing 4 reviews an hour you can earn up to £8 per hour. Not a tremendous amount of money but for those who need some extra cash it’s not half bad.

There’s another way for you to make money with this site. Become a member and then refer people and get a little extra cash as they pay 25p for every survey one of your referrals completes and by the way each person you refer will still receive they regular £2.00 per survey. I don’t know how much money you can earn doing this so if you join could you please drop me a line to let me know?

When will you get paid you ask? At the end of each month they send you a check by mail from VisitorFriendly.com. You will be paid every month, for amounts over £15. They do reserve the right to carry forward amounts below £15 to the next month. I’m a U.S. resident so I haven’t had the opportunity to join this site because they only accept UK and EU residents but I’ve had enough experience in this business to know a straight shooting website when I see one and this quote from their website tells me their on the up and up “Is this just another get rich quick scheme? We're not promising you'll become rich overnight, although a visitor with numerous referrals will have the potential to earn substantial amounts. What we're really offering is a way for people from all walks of life to earn some extra money working whenever it suits them.”

Participating in surveys you can also help to support charities or earn rewards!

Taking surveys you will earn Panel Points. 15 Panel Points correspond to 1 British pound and with them you can have cash transferred in to your bank account - from 600 Panel Points onwards. Buy anything you desire from their partners by redeeming your Panel Points for online e-gift vouchers - from 300 Panel Points onwards. Support charities or sponsor children from developing countries - from 100 Panel Points onwards.

I’m not a member of this website because I’m sure they didn’t allow U.S. residents to join when I tried to signup a little over a year ago but it does appear that it’s possible to join from international residencies, outside the EU.

I’m going to join now so I’ll have a better perspective as to the quality and expediency of their rewards even though I’m not quite sure that will necessarily equate to the UK populace.

Join over 100,000 people across the world that enjoys contributing their views to their surveys, and getting paid to do so.

As a member of the YouGov Panel you will be invited from now and then to participate in online surveys on topics ranging from politics to painkillers to pensions. Each and every time you take part in a paid survey, you will have your virtual YouGov account credited with cash amounts depending on the survey's length, or you may be entered into a prize draw. When you reach £50 in your account, YouGov will send you a cheque for that amount.

The Prize Survey is a weekly survey on topical issues and each week, one lucky participant will be drawn to win a prize of £25 in YouGov Account credit. Weekly Prize Survey represent the views of the community of YouGov members who have chosen to take part and should not be quoted as representative of anything other than this.

To join the YouGov Panel, they will need to collect some profile information about you. Here are the reasons for this 1) it allows them to make sure they invite you to future surveys that are relevant to you, 2) it means you are not asked the same questions each time you complete a survey, 3) it sets up your YouGov Panel account so you can begin accruing credit.

I’m not a member of this panel or it’s American equivilent yougovamerica.com because I didn’t know it existed when I first found YouGov’s website but I’m joining today and will supply feedback on their rewards system as soon as possible.
