[00:00] If you search for the best survey sites to&nbsp; join, you will find plenty of lists. But there&nbsp;&nbsp; is something most of those videos do not actually&nbsp; tell you. For example, how many sites you should&nbsp;&nbsp; join and which ones work well together. And I have&nbsp; used survey sites since 2016 and I have tested&nbsp;&nbsp;
[00:16] hundreds of sites and I can tell you that those&nbsp; two things matter just as much as which individual&nbsp;&nbsp; sites you pick. If you join too many and spread&nbsp; yourself thin, then you risk earning very little&nbsp;&nbsp; and most people then usually give up. And if you&nbsp; join only one or two, you miss out on a lot of&nbsp;&nbsp;
[00:33] opportunities. So, in this video here, I'm going&nbsp; to show you which combination of sites I recommend&nbsp;&nbsp; if you are fairly new to paid surveys and what&nbsp; you need to know to get the most out of them.&nbsp;&nbsp; So, let's just start quickly by going over the&nbsp; earning expectations. I always find that very&nbsp;&nbsp;
[00:48] important in my videos so you know what to&nbsp; expect. And when it comes to paid surveys,&nbsp;&nbsp; be aware that it's a way to earn some extra money&nbsp; on the site. It's a side hustle. It's not a way to&nbsp;&nbsp; make a living or become rich or anything like&nbsp; that. No matter which combination of service&nbsp;&nbsp;
[01:01] sites you use and which platforms you use, you&nbsp; cannot do this for a living. And I just want to&nbsp;&nbsp; make that completely clear because some people&nbsp; they keep asking me about this and it's just not&nbsp;&nbsp; realistic. And how much you can earn will also&nbsp; vary a lot on your country. In some countries,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[01:15] it can be a great side hustle and it's&nbsp; definitely one of the easiest and fastest&nbsp;&nbsp; way to start earning some extra money. But&nbsp; just do it with the right expectations.&nbsp;&nbsp; So, let's start by going over what most beginners&nbsp; get wrong when they start taking paid surveys.&nbsp;&nbsp;
[01:31] For example, myself also when I first started,&nbsp; I made a mistake also that I see in my comments&nbsp;&nbsp; constantly here on my YouTube channel and on my&nbsp; website. I signed up for quite a few sites, but I&nbsp;&nbsp; was not consistent. I just jumped randomly around.&nbsp; I tried a little bit of surveys here and a little&nbsp;&nbsp;
[01:46] there, and then I just got frustrating results.&nbsp; And it was not until I started approaching it&nbsp;&nbsp; a little bit more systematically that things&nbsp; changed. I actually personally made a simple&nbsp;&nbsp; spreadsheet. It was basically just an overview of&nbsp; platforms that I was testing. But it made it easy&nbsp;&nbsp;
[02:01] for me to keep overview and then I could start&nbsp; checking in consistently. I paid attention to&nbsp;&nbsp; which survey types work for my profile and notice&nbsp; patterns across different platforms. And then I&nbsp;&nbsp; started comparing pay rates and sometimes survey&nbsp; paid a little more on one side, sometimes on&nbsp;&nbsp;
[02:16] another. And I also started paying more attention&nbsp; to payout methods before investing too much time&nbsp;&nbsp; on a site because after having wasted quite some&nbsp; time, I figured out that you actually need to&nbsp;&nbsp; start by looking at the payout method so you don't&nbsp; end up wasting time on a platform just to figure&nbsp;&nbsp;
[02:30] out later after you spend time that it doesn't&nbsp; offer a payout option that is actually good&nbsp;&nbsp; for you. So that's one thing I have started doing&nbsp; that I recommend anyone starting a new platform or&nbsp;&nbsp; joining a new survey site do. But once I started&nbsp; giving each site enough time, then the platforms&nbsp;&nbsp;
[02:45] got to know my profile. for example, and I started&nbsp; qualifying for more surveys and getting better&nbsp;&nbsp; results. And then I could say this one works well&nbsp; for me. This one does not suit my profile or my&nbsp;&nbsp; country. And then I just moved on from that one&nbsp; and then joined a new platform, a couple of new&nbsp;&nbsp;
[03:01] ones instead. And that is what this video is all&nbsp; about. Not just which sites to join, but how to&nbsp;&nbsp; think about it so you actually get results. So how&nbsp; many service sites should you then use? Well, if&nbsp;&nbsp;
[03:13] you are fairly new, I suggest to start with five&nbsp; to seven paid survey sites. In my opinion, that's&nbsp;&nbsp; a sweet spot. More than that, if you're brand&nbsp; new, you usually spread yourself too thin. You&nbsp;&nbsp;
[03:25] end up not doing any of them consistently, and the&nbsp; platforms never build up a solid picture of your&nbsp;&nbsp; profile. But if you join fewer than five, then you&nbsp; limit yourself to survey partners and features of&nbsp;&nbsp; just a couple of platforms, and you might miss&nbsp; opportunities that simply are not available on&nbsp;&nbsp;
[03:41] the platforms you joined. Because in most cases,&nbsp; each survey platform works with different survey&nbsp;&nbsp; partners. So using different and several survey&nbsp; sites means that you get access to a much wider&nbsp;&nbsp; range of surveys and not all of them overlap.&nbsp; Some of them they do overlap, but you will also&nbsp;&nbsp;
[03:56] learn to recognize those patterns and then overall&nbsp; joining more will give you more opportunities.&nbsp;&nbsp; I am personally a member of a lot more than seven&nbsp; sites today. I'm sure you know that if you watch&nbsp;&nbsp; any of my videos, I have tested hundreds of sites&nbsp; and I am still using quite a lot of different&nbsp;&nbsp;
[04:11] sites. But I built that up over time. I would say&nbsp; for a complete beginner or someone fairly new,&nbsp;&nbsp; then somewhere between five and seven is a&nbsp; smarter place to start. Then get to know each one,&nbsp;&nbsp; find out what works for you, and then&nbsp; you can add more later if you want to.&nbsp;&nbsp;
[04:28] So let's now talk about what makes a good&nbsp; combination before I will also show you&nbsp;&nbsp; some examples of some great sites you can combine&nbsp; because not all survey sites are the same type&nbsp;&nbsp; and a good combination it should cover different&nbsp; angles. For example, some sites they focus mainly&nbsp;&nbsp;
[04:42] on surveys. Other are GPT sites, meaning get paid&nbsp; to sites where you can also earn through not just&nbsp;&nbsp; surveys but also paid offers, videos and more.&nbsp; And some have extra earning opportunities like&nbsp;&nbsp;
[04:54] games or app-based features on top of that. And&nbsp; a good starting combination has a mix of these&nbsp;&nbsp; in my experience. That way you are not dependent&nbsp; on just one platform or one type of earning and&nbsp;&nbsp; there is usually something available even when&nbsp; maybe survey availability is low. Also keep in&nbsp;&nbsp;
[05:11] mind that your country it does matter. Some sites&nbsp; are only available in certain countries or they&nbsp;&nbsp; just pay much better in some regions. And when we&nbsp; go through the options that I will show you next&nbsp;&nbsp; there, I will also mention that so you know what&nbsp; to expect from each site. So let me now show you&nbsp;&nbsp;
[05:27] seven sites that I think is a great combination&nbsp; like I have just mentioned. So I'll explain a&nbsp;&nbsp; little bit about each and then you can find out&nbsp; which of them fits for you. But this covers a wide&nbsp;&nbsp; range of different types of survey sites and can&nbsp; be a great starting point. At least in my opinion,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[05:43] because I have joined so many and tested so many,&nbsp; it's hard to just limit myself to seven now.&nbsp;&nbsp; But I have tried to do it for the purpose of this&nbsp; video here. So if you have a lot of experience&nbsp;&nbsp; You're welcome to share your own experiences and&nbsp; opinions in the comments below, of course. Or if&nbsp;&nbsp;
[06:00] you have any questions in general, just always&nbsp; feel free to ask in the comments. I make sure&nbsp;&nbsp; to reply to every comment. But let's now go over&nbsp; these seven options here. It's not a prioritized&nbsp;&nbsp; list. I'm just giving you seven options that&nbsp; in my opinion is a great starting combination.&nbsp;&nbsp;
[06:14] So the first I wanted to talk about is called &nbsp; PaidViewpoint. It is a platform you can join from all&nbsp;&nbsp; countries. But it's not worth it if you don't live&nbsp; in an English-speaking country because then&nbsp;&nbsp; it just doesn't give enough surveys for you to&nbsp; ever reach a payout threshold. But if you do live&nbsp;&nbsp;
[06:27] in an English-speaking country, then what is&nbsp; great about this is that you will always qualify&nbsp;&nbsp; for the surveys you are offered here. It does not&nbsp; have a huge volume of surveys but when there is&nbsp;&nbsp; a survey you know for sure you will qualify for&nbsp; it and that is great especially for beginners&nbsp;&nbsp;
[06:42] because it reduces the frustration that many&nbsp; people see when they don't qualify for surveys and&nbsp;&nbsp; some people just give up because of that. So PaidViewpoint is great for that even though there are&nbsp;&nbsp; not that many surveys and you can get paid via&nbsp; PayPal once you earn $15. Once you've get been&nbsp;&nbsp;
[06:56] paid a few times it will be lowered to $5. The&nbsp; next option here is more unknown and that's&nbsp;&nbsp; why I chose to put it in this video here. It's&nbsp; called SolPulse. It is only relevant for you&nbsp;&nbsp;
[07:08] if you want to earn crypto. But if you want then&nbsp; the reason I put it here is that you just need&nbsp;&nbsp; to paste your Solana wallet if you have a Solana&nbsp; wallet, any Solana wallet. And then when you earn,&nbsp;&nbsp; you can earn by taking paid surveys. It also has&nbsp; paid offers. You can click ads. And then once&nbsp;&nbsp;
[07:25] you have earned, you don't have to reach a payout&nbsp; threshold. it will just pay out directly into your&nbsp;&nbsp; Solana wallet. So, this makes it very unique and&nbsp; that's why I included here is a fast-paying one,&nbsp;&nbsp; but only relevant if you want to earn crypto.&nbsp; If you want to get paid in cash or gift cards,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[07:38] this is not the one for you. And it's still, as of&nbsp; recording this video, fairly new and unknown. So,&nbsp;&nbsp; I still keep testing it, but I still wanted to&nbsp; include it here to show something a little bit&nbsp;&nbsp; different. And if you want to know more about&nbsp; this or any of the platforms I talk about here,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[07:52] I will leave links below to full written tutorials&nbsp; and reviews on my website. There are also video&nbsp;&nbsp; links if you decide to join any of these. But&nbsp; let's now move on to the next one. Mai is a paid&nbsp;&nbsp;
[08:09] service site. You can join from all countries.&nbsp; It is only surveys. But I like it because of how&nbsp;&nbsp; it works with its survey partners because it's&nbsp; serious about matching you to the right surveys.&nbsp;&nbsp; And it does a lot to optimize that process.&nbsp; It doesn't mean that you will never qualify,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[08:23] but it does more when it comes to filtering out&nbsp; bad surveys than most other platforms that I have&nbsp;&nbsp; come across do. So, I really like that approach&nbsp; and once you get used to it, it gives quite good&nbsp;&nbsp; opportunities. It also has this unique aspect&nbsp; that you earn from community activities. So,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[08:38] you'll sometimes see your balance go up and down&nbsp; a little bit, not from the service you're taking.&nbsp;&nbsp; You will keep that earnings, but sometimes it will&nbsp; just suddenly grow or fall a little bit this extra&nbsp;&nbsp; community earnings. So, that's quite unique and&nbsp; can give some nice extra earnings. Also, you just&nbsp;&nbsp;
[08:50] need to earn $5 to redeem and you can get paid&nbsp; via PayPal, Bitcoin vouchers or Amazon gift cards.&nbsp;&nbsp; have actually not subscribed to my channel. And&nbsp; it's a free easy way to support me and my work.&nbsp;&nbsp;
[09:05] So, I would really appreciate if you just take&nbsp; one second and subscribe and also hit the like&nbsp;&nbsp; button for this video here. It can really help my&nbsp; channel grow and this video to spread. So, I would&nbsp;&nbsp; really appreciate that. Thank you. Next platform&nbsp; that can be a great part of a starting combination&nbsp;&nbsp;
[09:19] is Gemsloot. And Gemsloot is a get-paid-to site&nbsp; where you can earn by doing many different things.&nbsp;&nbsp; It's one of the highest-paying get-paid-to sites&nbsp; that I have come across. And you can, for example,&nbsp;&nbsp; earn by playing games, taking paid surveys.&nbsp; It has different leaderboard contests. It has&nbsp;&nbsp;
[09:33] different bonuses once in a while. It also has a&nbsp; great joining bonus. I will leave a link in the&nbsp;&nbsp; top corner here for a video I have about&nbsp; how you can get that joining bonus also,&nbsp;&nbsp; all that below here. What I also really like&nbsp; about it is that it has a really solid selection&nbsp;&nbsp;
[09:50] of rewards to choose from. It has hundreds of&nbsp; gift cards depending on the country you live&nbsp;&nbsp; in. You can also get paid via PayPal and&nbsp; crypto and in general just many different&nbsp;&nbsp; methods you can get paid. And you can also get&nbsp; paid into a debit card. So, it's very flexible.&nbsp;&nbsp;
[10:03] And the payout threshold starts already at 50&nbsp; cents. So, a very low payout threshold. Also,&nbsp;&nbsp; Branded Surveys is a great survey site if you&nbsp; live in the US, UK, or Canada. And it has a&nbsp;&nbsp; very user-friendly app and website and a great&nbsp; bonus system for active members. So the more&nbsp;&nbsp;
[10:19] consistently you use it, the better rewards you&nbsp; get. And that kind of loyalty bonus is definitely&nbsp;&nbsp; worth taking advantage of if you are going to be&nbsp; consistent anyways. And it is definitely worth&nbsp;&nbsp; being consistent on a platform like branded&nbsp; surveys. As mentioned, you can only join if&nbsp;&nbsp;
[10:33] you live in the US, UK, or Canada. And you only&nbsp; need to earn $5 to redeem. You can redeem to bank,&nbsp;&nbsp; PayPal, or choose between many different gift&nbsp; cards. That will vary depending on your country,&nbsp;&nbsp; but overall some great payout options. Yuggov is&nbsp; next and it is a well-known and straightforward&nbsp;&nbsp;
[10:50] survey website and app to use. It's available in&nbsp; I think it's around 16 plus countries. And what I&nbsp;&nbsp; like about it is that it covers topics that you&nbsp; usually do not find on many other platforms and&nbsp;&nbsp; is often more opinion- based research sometimes on&nbsp; news and current events. And also you can actually&nbsp;&nbsp;
[11:07] often see in the media that yugob is quoted. So&nbsp; you can see directly how your opinion is part of&nbsp;&nbsp; shaping the public opinion or the public debate.&nbsp; So therefore the surveys you find here are also&nbsp;&nbsp;
[11:19] usually different from what you can get on many&nbsp; other survey sites which is exactly the point&nbsp;&nbsp; of using a combination of different sites that&nbsp; I mentioned earlier. The exact payout threshold&nbsp;&nbsp; and the exact rewards will vary depending on your&nbsp; country. In some countries it's just gift cards,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[11:32] in some it's products, in some it's cash, bank&nbsp; transfer, PayPal. The threshold also varies. It&nbsp;&nbsp; starts at some countries $5. In some you need to&nbsp; earn $20. All that is something you would have to&nbsp;&nbsp; check for your specific country. The last option&nbsp; I want to show is called Pawns. And Pawns has a&nbsp;&nbsp;
[11:49] bit more to offer than just a survey site because&nbsp; first of all does not just have a website. It also&nbsp;&nbsp; has an app and there inside the app you can find&nbsp; quite a lot of games you can earn by playing and&nbsp;&nbsp; it also has some small daily bonus tasks you can&nbsp; do in there and then it has plenty of service and&nbsp;&nbsp;
[12:03] you can join from all countries. This is also one&nbsp; of the platforms where you can get a great joining&nbsp;&nbsp; bonus of $3 if you use an invitation code. As&nbsp; mentioned, I'll leave links below to full written&nbsp;&nbsp; tutorials for each of these. At the top, you can&nbsp; find a joining link. If you join through that,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[12:16] it will make sure you get the best possible&nbsp; joining bonus. And it will also support me,&nbsp;&nbsp; my channel, and my work. And I would definitely&nbsp; appreciate that support. So, now that you have&nbsp;&nbsp; a great combination of sites you can start with,&nbsp; here is how I suggest to approach this to actually&nbsp;&nbsp;
[12:31] get results. First of all, give each site a few&nbsp; weeks before you decide if it's worth your time.&nbsp;&nbsp; Unless it's of course obvious from the start that&nbsp; this is not for you. For example, if you log in 5&nbsp;&nbsp; days in a row and there are no service at all for&nbsp; you, because then that platform might just not&nbsp;&nbsp;
[12:46] be a good match for you or your country. But in&nbsp; general, the platforms, they need time to build up&nbsp;&nbsp; your profile and figure out what service to match&nbsp; you with. And if you quit after, for example,&nbsp;&nbsp; just two or three days, you will usually not&nbsp; see what a site can actually offer. Also,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[13:00] I suggest to keep a simple overview. Even just be&nbsp; a note on your phone or just a basic spreadsheet.&nbsp;&nbsp; It can be in Google Sheet or something like that.&nbsp; It's free and you can just go there and just write&nbsp;&nbsp; down which sites you have joined, how often you're&nbsp; checking in and roughly what you are earning. So,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[13:14] it doesn't need to be complicated, but just&nbsp; having that overview is what helps you spot what&nbsp;&nbsp; is working and what is not. And that helped me&nbsp; a lot when I was first starting. Also, make sure&nbsp;&nbsp; to pay attention to the payout methods before you&nbsp; invest too much time in a platform and check what&nbsp;&nbsp;
[13:29] is available in your country because as mentioned&nbsp; several times when I went over these sites,&nbsp;&nbsp; the exact payout methods and it usually does vary&nbsp; depending on your country and it can also change&nbsp;&nbsp; from time to time. Sometimes a platform remove a&nbsp; payout option, sometimes it adds one. And once you&nbsp;&nbsp;
[13:42] have tested these sites and know what is working&nbsp; for you, you can always add more. But make sure to&nbsp;&nbsp; get the foundation right first and then you will&nbsp; get the best possible results. And as mentioned,&nbsp;&nbsp; can also find videos through those links, payment&nbsp; proof, all that. So if you want to know more about&nbsp;&nbsp;
[14:00] any of these platforms, you can easily go there or&nbsp; you can just click at the top of each of them the&nbsp;&nbsp; joining link that will make sure you get the best&nbsp; possible joining bonus and will support me and my&nbsp;&nbsp; work and I would definitely appreciate that. And&nbsp; if you have any experiences yourself or if you try&nbsp;&nbsp;
[14:13] this and you have any questions, anything, just&nbsp; ask or share your experiences in the comments. I&nbsp;&nbsp; love hearing from you and I make sure to reply to&nbsp; every single question and comment. And finally,&nbsp;&nbsp; to subscribe to my YouTube channel and hit the&nbsp; notification bell so you won't miss out next time&nbsp;&nbsp;
