Every month I publish my survey income reports which document how much I make from taking surveys and recommending others to survey sites on my blog.
These income reports are here to show you where exactly I am making the most money, and with which survey sites.
Also in these monthly income reports will include updates to the website for the last month, which survey sites I liked the best in the past month, along with what you can expect to see on Survey Chris in the coming month.
I hope that these monthly reports will inspire you to see how much you can add onto your monthly income by utilizing online survey sites, and see where you should be directing your time and energy when it comes to taking surveys.
What Was New in November
Page Table of Contents
November is the seventh month that Survey Chris has been up and running. Here is what was new for the site this month:
- I wrote a new post on The Best UK Survey Sites
Best Survey Companies Right Now
For each month, I like to include my favorite survey sites. They may not correlate with which ones I made the most money with, since I like to measure things by money made per time spent on site.
Since I estimate the time spent on the site, this isn't a number I readily share with you, but these rankings are based off of it.
If you want to make the most money with surveys, you will want to sign up for multiple companies so you never run out of surveys to take.
The top ones I recommend from this month are:
- CashCrate
- Opinion Outpost
- Swagbucks
- Ipsos i-Say
- InboxDollars

About My Survey Income Breakdown
Each month I take surveys from a variety of different companies and try them out long enough to get paid. During this process I am reviewing these companies to determine who is worth recommending to you and which companies you should avoid. This income is reflected above each month.
That's why in my reviews of companies like Cash Crate, Opinion Outpost and Ipsos i-Say I show you actual screenshots of my earnings, checks etc so that you can see I really am trying out these companies.
Unlike most other survey websites out there that just write content to get referrals I spend the time actually trying these companies to determine which ones are the best for you.
Another chunk of income that I make from this website (which I expect to continue to grow) comes from referring other people to survey companies that I recommend on this blog. I hope you see the value in having someone else test out these survey companies first and I appreciate the support when you sign up for the survey companies I recommend.
Be sure to also read my free guide if you're serious about maximizing your survey income. You can download that guide for free here.

Hi, Chris. First off, thank you for sharing your experiences with us. Your information has been very helpful to me in completing surveys; I really appreciate the help. I had a question about Opinion Outpost. I’ve been a member for a few months now, and I’ve noticed that the site only allows 5 completed surveys per day; once you complete 5, it says that no other surveys are available. I average about 40 points per day, which gives me about 1,200 points per month, resulting in $120. I was pleasantly surprised at how much you made in November with them. I’d love to be able to maximize my earnings with the site, and was just curious as to how you were able to accumulate so many points. Maybe it’s something I’m missing or not taking advantage of. I’d love to get any additional pointers from you. Thanks in advance for the help. And keep up the great work. Take care.
Hey Keith,
With these survey sites, you can get money if people sign up for these websites through your specific link. While I am still making money from these sites through surveys, the money I get from people clicking on my links is surpassing my income.
Since I am able to make money this way, I always shoot to give the best reviews possible, because it is helping other people and if I didn’t do that, I couldn’t make money that way.
Thanks,
Chris
Got it, Chris. Thanks for the clarification. And thank you once again for all your reviews. All the best.
Hey Chris:
I just bought your paperback from Amazon and will review it soon.I read some of your other emails and was amazed that you have an 80 percent rate on surveys with many companies. I guess mayabe you are the target age? I just had a question about I say. Lately they have been very hard to qualify for and I have always liked them in the past. Survey police has much more negative comments on I say. I was just wondering if you still like them as much. My 2 favs are fusion cash and of course Opinion outpost as well as Pinecone
Take care and I love the what you are doing for us out here

Hey Gene,
Which company are you referring to with the negative comments from Survey Police?
Yes, I like Opinion Outpost as well, and found CashCrate is slightly better for me than Fusion Cash, as it does depend on the demographics. PrizeRebel and Swagbucks have also been good for me lately.
