About Paid Online Survey Referrals

Straight Referrals - Straight referrals are the simplest form of referral. You'll refer someone to a paid survey site and any incetive you receive will be added to your regular survey earnings. Straight referrals can be in the form of a referral email or a referral link. Referral incentives can range from cash, to points, to drawing entries depending on the paid online survey site. You need to actually be a member of the survey site for these referrals. You'll find the straight referral programs marked "referral" in the notes column below.

Affiliate Programs - Affiliate programs require that you apply to become an affiliate. You need to have a website in order to apply, so you'll have to have this site up and running first. Affiliate programs tend to pay more than a straight referal and always pay in cash. Affiliate earnings are completely seperate from survey earnings. You'll find the affilliate sites marked "affiliate" in the notes column.

Ad Networks - Ad Networks are by far the most effective, and most profitable way to make referral cash. Ad Networks act as a collection point for paid advertisers, so you can get referral links for many paid survey sites from one ad network. Like affiliate sites, you need to have a webpage and they usually require you to have your own domain name and have a minimum amount of traffic. You may not qualify for an ad network at first, but keep plugging away and eventually you will. By getting into an ad network you can easily double your referral earnings, as they offer more survey sites and they pay more.

These are the ad networks that I like to use:

  • OffersQuest - By far my favorite. Lots of paid survey sites listed, great user interface, fantastic support and on time payment every time.
  • Primary Ads - Similiar to OffersQuest in layout. Offer many of the same paid survey sites, but usually not as many. They do have a larger selection of non-paid survey sites.
  • ClixGalore - Only offer a few paid survey site listings and their user interface is a bit confusing, but they offer a huge selection of other paid advertisements that you can use on your website.

These survey companies are approved and recommended by CSN.
