Even the best survey panels have their good and bad periods, and like you say the key is not to give up and cancel a survey panel after just one bad experience. Look at your track record with the survey site, see what are others saying about it, and then make an informed decision. I agree there are probably about 30 to 40 survey panels that are worth joining, and of those their are probably 10 to 20 that any given person can put in their priority list. Our goal at GetPaidSurveys is to work towards listing about 30 or so panels that we believe our worth the time for individuals to join. Then we encourage you to start with the top 10 user rated panels, and then add more as you have time to do. Basically experiment with the different panels until you get your "priority list" of panels that work for you. I agree with your comments Lee.

Out of the thousands of so-called legitimate survey sites out there, I would guess that less than 50 are really worthwhile. Personally, I started out with about 10-20 core sites that are highly recommended by trusted online blogs such as getpaidsurveys.com and surveypolice.com. Eventually, I found about 30-35 that were fairly well compensated and that have relatively few problems; although, even the best survey sites, such as SurveySpot and GTM, have had their good and bad periods. You have follow your instincts and be very patient before cancelling and unsubscribing to a survey site. If I can't make at least $50 a year from a survey site, then I deprioritize it, but I don't unsubscribe from it unless the emails become bothersome, like InboxDollars/SendEarnings and Tik Tik Cash. Sites like MyView, Mindfield Online, LightSpeed, Epoll, ClearVoice, Viewpoint and Brand Institute don't earn me as much money, but they are well-behaved and unobtrusive. Sites like SurveySpot, Global Test Market, Opinion Outpost, Valued Opinions, Surveyhead, MySurvey.com, Toluna, HCD and Pinecone Research are my bread and butter, earning me significant amounts of money and gift certificates every year and I am more than willing to show them patience and to give them the benefit of the doubt when things become difficult concerning pending credits or incentive redemption. These sites are all generally recognized as the cream-of-the-crop and these are the ones everyone should be a member of. Although I am aware of some who spend eight hours a day, or longer, taking paid online surveys, I rarely spend more than three or four hours per day with plenty of breaks, because in the beginning I spent much longer and it drove me bonkers! On the other hand, if you are unwilling or unable to spend at least one hour per day, most days of the week, then paid online surveys are probably not for you. If you have some free time every day and are willing to work somewhat diligently and answer questions honestly, then you should easily be able to earn an extra $100-$200 per month within the first six months of taking paid online surveys. Have fun with it and don't get discouraged if you don't get those $200 Invoke Interactives right away. Also, it only takes one contest win to change your luck. I won both an Apple Macbook and an Apple iPod Touch in February 2009 and that gave me all of the incentive I needed to continue! Great article!
