Cloud Research

Cloud Research is a favorite among online survey takers. They host mostly academic research studies, so none of the annoying issues like getting redirected or disqualified halfway through a study. Once you finish a study, it is marked pending until the researcher approves it. They have up to 14 days to approve, but I have found most approve within the first 3 days after you finish them. You can cashout once every 24 hours, and it is an immediate payout to your Paypal.

Most surveys are under 10 minutes and will pay anywhere from $0.20 - $5.00. Occasionally they also post jury studies, which do take a bit longer but pay around $10 - $16. Make sure when taking these surveys, that you are paying attention. They will almost all have attention checks and if you fail the attention check, you will be routed out of the survey and not get paid. You also run the risk of getting a rejection, which hurts your overall quality score.

The use of an auto refresher is very helpful on Cloud Research. I use Auto Refresh Plus, and have it set to alert if anything on the page changes.

On average, I probably make about $10 - $20 a day doing surveys on Cloud, excluding weekends. Since these are academic studies, anytime that colleges are out, you will notice a sharp decline in the amount of opportunities available.
