Free to Join Paid Surveys T - Z

First of all, please let me apologise for my lack of presence over the past couple of weeks. First of all I was ill then my computer was overrun with some horrendous virus and had to go into the shop for repair and that took longer than expected. Anyway, we're up and running now and will continue to provide you with ideas for earning an income from home.

This is the last section of the Free to Join Paid Survey sites but I will continue to update it over a period of time.

Teamship
If you are a consumer and are interested in participating in studies for which you will be compensated, please answer the screening questionnaires. USA only.

*
Test Spin
Join now and you'll be eligible to earn up to $600 toward merchandise on Amazon.com. Register with TestSpin to test new products, music, videos, websites, and more. We want your opinion and we'll pay you for it - up to $4 for taking a survey and $30 to join a focus group. And the best part is that you never have to leave the comfort of your own computer. Worldwide.

That’s What I Think
Through thats-what-i-think.co.uk, you can express your opinions about what you see on TV and Movie screens and hear on the radio. You will have a chance to see and hear new releases before they're made public and help decide if they are up to your standards. UK and Worldwide.

Trend Scan
Trendscan are a German market research company...hence some of the dodgy translations on the site. They have 2 paid survey panels, one for surveying the opinions of adults and the other interested in the opinions of children. Answering market research surveys for either panel earns you Amazon vouchers. A typical paid survey takes around 15 minutes here and earns you 'Trendchips' which can be exchanged for Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.de gift vouchers. Worldwide.

USA Internet Survey Panel
Paid surveys award with sweepstakes entries or other incentives. Invitations are through the Internet Survey Division of The Response Center, a marketing research firm in Fort Washington, PA. Woldwide.

USC
Social Events - In this study, they are interested in how people think about other people and about various legal situations. You will be asked to answer a series of questions on-line. This study takes 45 minutes or less, and you will be automatically entered into a lottery for $200! The odds of winning are 1/200. USA only.

Valued Opinions UK Female (+ Male)
Valued Opinions rewards you for taking part in market research surveys with a gift voucher for one of a range of well-known high street and Internet shops. Membership is by invitation only.

Visitor Friendly
Visitor Friendly is similar to
Site-Reporter (you evaluate website performance in mystery shopping style studies) but has been in business a lot longer. You seem to get paid around £2.50 here for every website you evaluate and report back on but to be honest, I've been a member for 2 years now and have received just one assignment so perhaps it's not worth bothering with. Then again, maybe my demographic profile just doesn't match up with what their clients want so you still might be interested in giving them a try. Not currently accepting new members but you can keep checking back.

Viva Research
Viva Research is a pioneer in online marketing research. They are constantly looking for people interested to participate in online surveys and focus groups. They partner with companies that value your opinion and are willing to reward you for helping them make their products and services better and more appealing.

As a panelist, you’ll evaluate leading websites and provide vital feedback on your experience. Join now and help improve the Web! Worldwide.

Perhaps WiredInsights features only one or two clients at a time. Pays through cash drawings. USA only.
