Your opinion is important, but did you know how important? People all over the world are sharing their opinions and experiences with all kinds of organisations and being paid for their time by taking paid online surveys, participating in focus group studies, testing products and otherwise sharing their views from the comfort of their own home. Paid surveys are a legitimate way for businesses to find out what their target market thinks of current social trends, world events or purchasable products or to shape the format of future products. This information is valuable to these companies, which is great for you, because it means they are willing to pay you for your time.

In order to obtain access to and get paid for answering surveys as outlined above, you will need to join some online market research and survey panels. These act as a middle man between you and the companies who need your opinions, matching up panel members with the type of study being performed and otherwise managing aspects of the research process. All of the UK paid survey sites listed below offer rewards in the form of cash, prize draw entries, vouchers and/or the opportunity to keep the products you, as a paid survey panel member, are asked to test and answer survey questions about.
