As you all know, I am all about finding different ways to make extra money and that includes reviewing legitimate companies (such as ProOpinion) I’ve heard about so that you can possibly join them.
Lately, I have been asked quite frequently from readers about legitimate paid online surveys that allow you to complete paid surveys at home. It’s hard to know what’s legitimate and what’s not since there are so many different scams out there.
However, not all are scams. One that I would like to review today is ProOpinion and they are a legitimate survey company.
ProOpinion is a new survey company that is looking for many to join. They are looking for people to take surveys related to their field of expertise. ProOpinion rewards with points redeemable for Amazon or iTunes giftcards. While it is not cash, pretty much anything can be bought on Amazon!

Below are some of the questions you may be wondering about when it comes to ProOpinion and taking paid surveys at home.
How do you know if an online survey site is legitimate?
While ProOpinion is a legitimate survey website (I wouldn’t be reviewing it if it wasn’t), there are many not-so-legitimate ones out there. I am often sent emails from readers asking whether so-and-so is real and what I would do.
Below are some warning signs that a survey site may not be legitimate:
- Are they promising you the world? It would be very hard to earn a full-time income just from answering surveys from one website. They are meant more as a way to earn side income so any get rich quick schemes are usually fake.
- Do they require an upfront fee? I have taken many paid surveys over the past several years and I have never had to pay a penny to take any of them. If they ask you to pay them, they are most likely a scam.
- Do you remember signing up? Some scam websites are just there to take your information. If you don’t remember signing up for the company, definitely ignore their emails and don’t click on anything!
Why are survey takers needed?
Since there are so many online scams out there, you are probably wondering why a survey company would exist. Many believe that all survey companies are scams but I am here to tell you that there are many real ones and ProOpinion is one of them.
I have taken part in many online surveys where I have been paid, so I know that legitimate ones do exist. I can understand why you may be a little hesitant since most have never completed an online survey before. However, they are real and they are nice to do because you can earn extra money while on a flexible schedule.
Surveys are taken because companies and organizations want to know potential customers’ opinions’ of a product. This way businesses and organizations can change the product if needed, market the product differently, and so on. Launching a new product without any research would just be crazy and that is exactly why surveys need to be done.
How do you become a member of ProOpinion?
Becoming a member of ProOpinion is quite easy. All you have to do is head on over to their signup page and click on “Become a Member For Free,” enter your information, and then confirm your account afterwards.
After you join, you will receive emails from ProOpinion for surveys that you qualify for. For each survey you complete, you will earn points. Like I said, it’s not cash but the points can be used for gift cards that you may find useful.
Note: Currently, ProOpinion is only available to those who are in the United States.
Is ProOpinion free?
I’m sure you’re wondering this. There are so many websites out there where you have to pay in order to take paid surveys at home. However, ProOpinion is a legitimate survey website and it is completely FREE.
You do not have to pay anything to join ProOpinion and you do not have to pay anything whenever you complete a survey.
How many surveys will I receive each month? How long does each one take?
There is no set amount that you will receive each month. It all depends on your background and the clients who may be interested in you.
Each survey takes an average of around 10 minutes. They are all done online so that makes them very easy to complete. While you won’t get rich, it’s just spare time so it can be a new way to earn some free gift cards.

Other survey companies I recommend include Swagbucks, Survey Junkie, Pinecone Research, Opinion Outpost, Prize Rebel, and Harris Poll Online. They’re free to join and free to use! You get paid to answer surveys and to test products. It’s best to sign up for as many as you can as t hat way you can receive the most surveys and make the most money.

I haven’t heard of Pro Opinion, but I do take surveys for several other legitimate companies. It’s not be a way to get rich, but I do get some good rewards, like gift cards for Starbucks and Amazon.
Michelle Schroeder-Gardner says
Yes, the rewards can be nice!
Natalie @ Financegirl says
I’m glad you did a post on this subject. I’m asked about it and I don’t have a lot to say because I don’t have any experience in this area. Personally, I don’t do them because I have so many other things going on and that I focus on for income streams. I haven’t found great value in them as a long term opportunity. But that’s because I’m focusing on passive income or things that require my specific skill set.
Michelle Schroeder-Gardner says
I used to do surveys a lot. I know longer do them due to lack of time, but they are still a great idea!
Amanda @ My Life, I Guess says
I’m a member of way too many survey sites, but thankfully I’ve somehow avoided all the scam ones. Not a single one has ever charged me a dime, and I immediately back away from the ones that do.
I know that a lot of people love Swagbucks and I have no complaints about them. But I have found sites that pay more – specially Web Perspectives (which is in Canada only, but they do have affiliates in other countries). They pay $1 or more per survey, where most other companies pay under $1 – sometimes as low as 10 cents.
Regardless, it’s a pretty easy (although time consuming) way to earn a little extra while watching tv or something similar. 🙂
Michelle Schroeder-Gardner says
Yes, there are way too many scammy ones!
Chris @ Flipping A Dollar says
I used to do this and have gotten away from it. I barely have enough time and already spend too much time on the computer! It’s a great way for someone who does have that free few moments to make a little extra dough though!
Michelle Schroeder-Gardner says
I agree Chris!
Michelle Schroeder-Gardner says
Do it!
Sam Mesquita says
Online surveys are a great way for extra income on the side. I have just recently been using MySurvey.com! They prove to be quite legitimate and offer a generous out of surveys to earn reward points! Great for me to do in between work and my college classes.
Michelle Schroeder-Gardner says
Great to hear Sam!
Jayson @ Monster Piggy Bank says
Pro Opinion is a legit and it is free. My friends have tried answering their surveys and got Amazon gift cards. I would probably do it one of these days. Thanks for this Michelle.
Brittney@ Life On A Discount says
Thanks for posting this. I have tried a number of other survey sites like Dollar Surveys and Pollbuzzer, but I have not been impressed. It’s always frustrating taking the time to “qualify” for a survey to only get rejected constantly. Also, a few of the sites would never update after completing the survey, so I wouldn’t earn my credits. I am going to look into ProOpinion and hope it’s a promising endeavor!
Stephen says
The USA has so many of these random consumer opinion polls and test places both online and in brick and mortar counterparts. I think I’ve only ever seen 2 in Canada.
Jay says
ProOpinion now offers PayPal as one of the reward options. Great deals of online surveys too!
Michelle Schroeder-Gardner says
Great to know!
Amelia Williams says
These are really great tips. This was a good chance for others to share their experiences. Thank you for sharing these kind of useful tips for others. Keep posting.

I never thought survey sites can help in earning income, as i was always concentrating on affiliate products.
Thanks of this sharing this great post
