It All Adds Up: My Favorite Survey Site, SurveySavvy, Still Pays Me $300/Year

Many moons ago, I was blessed to be a stay-at-home mom. While I absolutely loved being home, I hated asking my husband for spending money. He never said no, but it just felt weird for me. This led me to research legitimate ways to earn money from home, even before the internet was as advanced as it is today. I quickly found that online survey sites were one of the best opportunities available.

My Long-Term Experience with SurveySavvy

After doing my research to ensure legitimacy, I discovered SurveySavvy.

• Launch Year: SurveySavvy launched in 1999.

• My Membership: I've been a paid member since 2009.

• Verdict: This site is 100% legitimate and has always paid out reliably.

Initially, I took many $.50 to $1.00 surveys that had an average completion time of about 10 minutes. I usually complete them in half the time—and $0.50 adds up! Over the years my survey opportunites and I've been invited to participate in studies earning between $10 and $25 per survey.  On average, I earn about $300 a year through SurveySavvy.

Even now that I work full-time, I still actively use the site. One of my financial goals is to have all of my debt (mortgages, car loans, etc.) paid off by the time I'm 50, so I am always looking for side hustles to help achieve that goal!

Tips for Maximizing Your Earnings

The site keeps things simple: you can cash out and view active surveys through their online portal, and they also email surveys to you.

I’ve learned a few things over the years that help me maximize my cash:

1. Take Surveys Regularly: The more surveys I take, the more I seem to receive.

2. Expect Screen Outs: I do not qualify for all surveys, which is normal for market research. The topics vary widely, covering product testing, consumer research, and even job or tech-related subjects.

SurveySavvy also offers an easy way to boost your earnings by an extra $6 a month. SavvyConnect is their browser extension and app that uses safe, cutting-edge technology to collect anonymous data as you surf the web, looking for trends in online searches, shopping, and entertainment.
