Here's a list of good sites. They all offer free and easy ways to make some cash. They're not in any real order, except that GPT sites are first, and survey-only companies are at the end. These are all good, legitimate, paying sites, and just because one is listed farther down the list doesn't make it worse than any other. They pretty much all offer the basics: zip/email submits, paid to signups, trial offers, 100% free offers, surveys, contests, games, etc.

I find that taking online consumer surveys to be a good way to earn some extra cash in these lean times. They're all 100% free to join and participate in, and you can do them at your own leisure whenever you have a little free time. These survey companies are all very honest and dependable, and pay by check or through PayPal. You can also make money for each person you refer.
Opinion Outpost
This is one of the best! The surveys are seldom very long, and the pay generally runs between $2-$10 per survey. Sometimes they get busy and you might be offered as many as 5 surveys a day, though 1 a day is closer to the norm. Your account is credited immediately after completing each survey, and you can cash-out anytime you have at least $5 in your account and they'll send you a check. They pay $1 each for anybody you refer.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Daily Survey Panel
This one doesn't pay a lot, only averaging about $1 per survey, but on the plus side they offer at least 3 surveys a day, and you can cash-out anytime you have a minimum of $1 in your account, and you'll be paid through PayPal within 24 hours- and it usually only takes a few hours! You'll also be paid $1 per month for every active referral that you have, and that's some easy money!

----------------------------------------------------------------------
My Survey
They'll send you invitations offering 10-20 points to participate in a survey, and a point is only worth 1 cent. But this is only to take a 5 minute qualifier. If you qualify to procede with the survey, they'll offer more- usually 50-100 more points, and sometimes higher. Twice I've gotten $20 surveys after completing 10 cent qualifiers! You can cash-out anytime you have at least $10 in your account and they'll send you a check. Referrals pay $1.50 each!

HCD Surveys
https://www.hcdsurveys.com/panel/join.cfm?referralid=201017
When you hear and read the news and they say that 65% of the people polled believe this or that, this is usually one of the companies supplying the numbers. Most of these surveys are about current events in the news. They usually show you a short video clip and ask your opinion. Most don't pay much, only 50 cents, but they only take 5 minutes and they're really interesting. Occasionally they'll have higher-paying ones, though, around $5-$6 each. They pay monthly by check as long as you have $10 in your account. Referrals are worth 50 cents each.
