Does anyone here tried earning online through survey sites? Can you share us some info on this? I'm from the Philippines and I'd like to earn more on the net and if there are legit survey sites on the net I would like to join them. Thanks and happy earning to all.

Hi fourjems!!
I've known many people who had earned from survey sites. It's to bad for us because we are not included in those countries. it will really be very effective and we would be able to earn from those. I am a member of global test market maybe it will work for you.

I've heard about it too from previous response and yes I've just recently signed up but I haven't received any survey yet. Hopefully it would work on me too. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

yes, but the only one i trust is Pinecone Research. and they are available only to US residents.
In the last year I have gotten $150 from them.
I don't bother with many of the others- they are a wast of my time.
So many make you fill out the complete survey almost, and then tell you you do not qualify. That makes me so Angry!

That's so sad to hear. I have tried panel place but they don't give surveys to me much and I don't know if they are legit or not.

yes you can really earn but not that much when you are not in the us. i am also from the philippines and its only once that i received a $20 survey. But its not that much of a hassle to join because you only have to join them and wait for an email.

Yes there are a few survey sites are there which really pay and send surveys continuously. as you already know global test market is the best one which regularly sends surveys and if you are from USA than you can have more chances of getting surveys.There are other sites too but I am not satisfied with most of them.for example valuedopinions.co.in which is very regular in giving surveys but not paying money,ciaosurveys always changing so left them...but there are some other sites which are working well for me but they are local.I purchased some of the survey memberships paying money which promises $200/$400 daily doing surveys but all are vain they will just hand you over a list of companies that you should join to get paid and believe me all the list is available in the internet if you have time to search.

Yes, I myself have earned $565 from survey sites in the last year and a half and thats with a few weeks of laziness here and there. The thing is I am American and have more opportunities to earn from surveys as so many sites are open to my country. You can try and use GlobalTestMarket surveys, its open to the world but not sure how many surveys they would send you. I have gotten paid $150 from them alone.

I agree most surveys are good for US citizens only. I'll check on GTM. Thanks for the info.

You can earn quite a bit of money since you live in Philippines and the money (most common is dollar) can be convert to your currency. My first site is Survey Spot and up till now I earn around $40 with that site, could have been more but I cheated and created a few different accounts so they kinda blacklisted me. As long as you complete the surveys and reach 1000 points ($10) you can withdraw the money to your PayPal account.

That's true. The exchange rate is at around P44-46 per dollar. I just hope it would work on me. Thanks for sharing.
