I’m never a fan of paid survey sites. Mostly because i don’t believe anyone can make money from it. But since a friend mentioned that within one hour, he made $12 from surveys, i’d think it’s not bad for sitting at home, doing nothing, almost.

i’m still not very interested knowing that most of the survey sites are meant for americans. But for once i decided to check out CashCrate.com.

Yes, this site does accept Malaysian but then there weren’t much survey opportunity for us grab.

One of the things I like about cashcrate was that you can choose which surveys in which you can participate.  There is a pull-down menu and if you wish, you can do only the surveys that are 100% free.

There was no “catch” to this.

The pay for each survey is minimal.  Most of them pay 50 cents to one dollar.  But each survey only takes about 5 minutes to complete. Maybe you can get better pay with Adsense.

For much better paid surveys, you have to enter your credit card details, so that is entirely up to you.

Cashcrate even tells you exactly how much information you need to provide in order to get paid.

The company pays once a month, by check and the checks are mailed out on the 15th of each month.  It wasn’t a bad way to pick up a few extra bucks to buy you a decent lunch everyday. But don’t hope big as you certainly don’t want to spend an entire day making $30.

With online paid survey companies, you won’t make as much money, but you can participate as often as you like and bring in some money without leaving your house.
