Teen Paid Survey Panels
Whilst most paid survey panels require you to be over 18, some panels
accept younger members and others offer youth panels. Below are some of the most active.
Choose from US panels, UK panels and International panels
Before joining any of the programs, consider getting yourself a separate
e-mail address. Many companies offer free services, so you don't need to rely on
hotmail with their junk mail problems. My own personal recommendation is
GMX (Global Mail Exchange),
used by more than 11 million Internet users, which offers 5 GB e-mail storage and
attachments up to 50MB and mailboxes which are protected from spam with seven anti-spam
modules.
I'd also recommend you download a copy of Roboform. This free software can be used for auto-filling registration forms
greatly simplifying the application process for the survey companies you'll be joining. In addition it can also remember all
the passwords for each of the sites you join. Find out more from Roboform.

GlobalTestMarket | |
GlobalTestMarket has a very active survey division and requires participants worldwide over the age of 14.
The views of those under 14 may be sought but the invitation will go to the parent for the
child to complete.
You earn "marketpoints" each time you respond to a survey request - the closer you fit the demographics for
the survey, the higher the points earned but you'll usually earn 5 points
even if you don't qualify at all. A typical survey of up to 20 minutes to complete will earn 50 to 100 MarketPoints. You can also earn extra points
when you refer others. Each point is worth $0.05 and you need 1000 points to qualify for payment by cheque.
They seem to be fairly active. I'm receiving at least 2 or 3 surveys every week
at present. For full details and registration form, visit
GlobalTestMarket

TeensEyes | |
|
TeensEyes.com is an online survey panel of teens between 13 and 18. TeensEyes surveys reward teens for telling the
companies that make products and services for them how they look through teens' eyes. From time to time they may also invite
the parents or guardians of members to participate in surveys so they can learn what parents and teens see
eye-to-eye on, and what they see differently. |
They aim to send every member of the TeensEyes panel at least one survey invitation a month.
Most TeensEyes surveys are a mixture of questions that are answered by choosing between multiple-choice answers and questions that ask you to answer in your own words. Surveys usually include pictures of products, and often include audio or video as well.
Every time you participates in a survey, you'll earn points. Points are worth 1¢ each, and participation in most surveys
will involve anywhere from several hundred to a few thousand points; the equivalent of $2 to $20, although some may be worth
more and some less and sometimes they run sweepstakes with prizes instead of points. Whenever you've accumulated more
than 1000 points, you can request a check for cash.
TeensEyes is open to anyone between the ages of 13 and 18 who lives in the U.S.
