I published an article not too long ago detailing the six paid survey sites that allow you to make real money with few strings (which you can find here). I have long found American Consumer Opinion to be one of the more reputable paid survey websites that’s available out there.
The frequency of invitations I receive from this site is lower than that of others but the surveys I do receive tend to pay more money and are easier to finish. Surveys tend to remain available for a longer period of time (on some sites they’re listed as closed as soon as I get the e-mail notification) and payments tend to be prompt. One of the drawbacks I’ve seen with this site is that they send out individual checks for every paid survey completed. It makes for potentially a number of small checks sitting around but they’ll deposit in your bank account just the same!
One of the best features of American Consumer Opinion is that it’s easy for just about anybody to make some extra money using it. If you’re interested in adding some extra cash to your pockets and think that paid surveys might be the way to do it, here’s a rundown of what to expect when you arrive at American Consumer Opinion.
1. Go to www.acop.com and register. You’ll be asked a series of personal and demographic related questions to help segment you to receive the proper surveys. You’ll receive an e-mail whenever a new paid survey is ready for you. The site has a very informative FAQ section that covers everything from registering to taking a survey to technical issues you may come across.
2. According to the FAQ section of the American Consumer Opinion website, completed surveys can earn anywhere from $4 up to $50. Most of the ones I’ve seen have been in the $4 to $6 range. The amount of money offered for completion of a survey generally corresponds to the amount of time it is expected to take to complete it. Surveys requiring a more specialized knowledge of a particular subject can pay more as well.
3. Again, checks are sent out with every survey completed so you don’t have to worry about the minimum payout requirements associated with a lot of the other paid survey sites. The website says that checks are typically sent out within about 4 weeks of the survey closing. I’ve typically received my checks within about 2 to 3 weeks.
4. Be sure to keep your profile information up to date in order to receive the maximum number of paid opportunities. This will ensure that you not only receive a greater number of surveys but also receive only those which are most relevant to you.
I’ve always found that American Consumer Opinion is a great place to earn some extra money although I’ve found the number of survey opportunities to be somewhat infrequent. Despite that, I enjoy using them since they’re prompt with payment, prompt with e-mail notification of new surveys, and virtually spam-free.
If you’re looking for a way to earn a little extra money with paid surveys, make American Consumer Opinion one of the first one you check out
