There are many 'paid survey' sites on the Internet today; at last count I think there was several hundred thousand. This can make the process of choosing one to work with hard, especially if you consider that ninety-nine percent of these so called 'paid survey' companies are nothing more than thinly disguised scams. In this article, you will learn about a particularly good Market Research Company called Pinecone Research. This company has been around many years, and they have thousands of happy users, and for good reason; they are the best.

Pinecone offers their members two ways to make money; product trials and surveys. With the product trials you are paid to do just that; try products out. This can be testing dish detergent or sampling the latest soda, even products that have not been released to the public. For each product trial, members can expect to be paid around five dollars.

The other method of making money that this company offers is paid surveys. This basically involves giving your opinion about products that you already use. There are many surveys that you will have the opportunity to fill out, ranging from household products to television shows. I have even been paid to watch sitcoms.

The process of becoming a member is not as easy as you may expect, however the benefits are worth the extra trouble you will have to go through to sign up. Pinecone does not offer their members the option of recruiting new members like many other companies, and the only actively recruit new members about twice a year. This typically involves them running an advertisement campaign, which circulates banner ads around the Internet for a few days. There are also some links floating around the Internet that you can use to sign up; but they are really hard to find. You can look for one by doing a Google search for "Pinecone Sign up link."
