Best Legit Survey Sites To Make Money

Before going to discussion, I have a question for you. Do you have a lot of patience? If your answer is NO , you can skip the whole discussion and choose some other online work for you. Joining survey websites is not a get rich quick program, you need to have a lot of patience specially if you are from India as you will not have surveys to do all the time. Most of good survey sites are for people living in US ,UK and Canada. There are very few sites which are available for international users. My advice to people who wants to join survey sites –

Don't just join 2 or 3 survey sites , join 10-15 survey sites instead. Doing this you ensure that you will have something to do all the time .

top 10 survey sites for indians

Lets discuss how much one can earn from survey sites. This is how it works according to me-

Suppose if one joins 10 survey sites and he is making INR 500 from each then he can accumulate 10*500=5000 INR per month which can be considered a good amount for student to begin with.

Here are 10 best survey sites in India –
