Online surveys: Get paid for your thoughts:

What are online surveys?
Online surveys are used as a technique for gathering information for companies. They generally are a set of questions which require a participant to answer and then the information is eventually given back to company for reporting purposes. The companies are willing to pay a fee to the participant for their opinions and time.These are somewhat like the form filling online.You have to fill up the forms which will include product reviews,suggestions for improvement etc.
e.g.If you are filling a survey about website review, they will provide you a link to that website.All you have to do is write 3-4 sentences about the website (mainly suggestions for its improvement) and they will pay you a few $ (anywhere from $2-$15).It takes 5-10 minutes maximum for each survey.

Why do the companies pay just for taking surveys?
Companies spend Billions of dollars a year trying to convince consumers that their products are the best and to buy their products and services. They achieve this by getting an understanding how people think and shop. Knowing this, companies are willing to pay you for your opinions. Overall your opinion could help the companies to upgrade their products and services.

Here are a few online survey websites which I found to be the best:
