HubPages

I recently stumbled across HubPages while looking for websites to publish my articles. At first I thought it was a good site to publish my articles and make some extra money, because they let you submit your Google Adsense code for the ads on the pages.

So I wrote a couple of articles to see how this site went. The interface to write articles is similar to Squidoo, but it is clunky and terrible in comparison. They only give you a few ways to add content to the page whereas Squidoo has a lot more variety. I am really a big fan of Squidoo so my comparison might be a little biased.

That is not the only problem with Hubpages. A couple days after my articles were published I received an email from them saying my articles were taken down, because I had more than two links going to the same website in my article. To me this seems like a really strict rule. So after receiving that email I decided not to use Hubpages ever again.

MySurvey

The one survey site that really got me excited about taking paid surveys and referring others is MySurvey. It was one of the first market research companies I joined, and one I have stayed a member of.

The reasons why I like MySurvey are simple. They almost always have a couple of surveys to take every week, they usually pay more per survey than other sites, and they have a good referral program.

You can't go wrong with MySurvey if you are interested in doing market research surveys for extra money.

ZoomPanel

Another really good survey site is ZoomPanel. I usually receive one to two survey invitations a week and I earn around 200 to 500 ZoomRewards per completion. Plus if you don't qualify for a survey you receive 5 points anyways. ZoomRewards
can be redeemed for CDs, DVDs, gift cards, and more. You can redeem your points once you reach 1,000 or more.

ZoomPanel is really easy to get started with, and if you are interested in doing online paid surveys I really suggest becoming a member.
