I have been doing surveys for about a year and belong to all of the panels on this website. Some are better than others i.e. good panels send out frequent surveys.

You can't earn thousands but they're a good way to get some extra 'pocket money.' I made about £600 and bought a laptop but this took just over a year! Join some and see how you get on - they can get really repetitive and boring after a while.

The research panels on the first page are by far the best, so make sure you join some of those first.

Yeah it is legit - all the survey panel companies are registered in the UK or US and already have hundreds of thousands of panelists. Obviously most people are skeptical about this sort of stuff but if you do a bit of research you'll find that sites such as YouGov, Ciao!, Lightspeed Research etc are legit.

In October Microsoft bought Ciao! for something like $350,000,000. These are well known, highly profitable companies, that do not do 'scams'.
