Welcome to MySurveys Web site.
Below you can find a list of best paid UK surveys to join and web sites where you can test products for free in return for your opinion. I join my first survey panel in September 2006. Since then I have joined lots of survey panels. Many of them turned out to be a total waste of time but some of them are genuine and really good. I lost count how many vouchers I had, how much money I transferred to my paypal account and how many free products I tested. I get so many survey invitations in my email everyday that sometimes I struggle to do all of them. (I have 484 e-mails with survey invitations at the moment!!! Too busy now to do them.) So if you have a little free time or like me you are full time mum with internet access at home this is a very good way to get some spare money form the internet. I know that there are lots of web sites about paid surveys but with mine, if you want to earn some real money from paid surveys you won't waste your time.
I am a member of survey panels listed below. Next to a survey logo I put some info about panel plus my ranking marked with stars and my earnings (I will to keep them up to date). I am in process of testing some other survey panels and as soon as I find out if they are any good I will put them on the list so
