We are at it again, reviewing another paid survey site. This one is called ePoll Surveys. It is not very well known but there are definitely people searching for it so we decided it deserves to be reviewed.
What Is It All About?
- Company: ePoll Surveys
- URL: www.epollsurveys.com
- Price: N/A
- Rating: 1 out of 5
In terms of recognition in the industry of paid online survey sites, ePoll Surveys has never really been considered at the top of the list. The site reputation is not extremely well known compared to other paid survey sites.
Despite this, the site has dated back 13 years ago, as a project from popular company Bridge Entertainment Inc. There is a good amount of industries that have been able to take advantage of ePoll Surveys but it has been optimally used by numerous media and entertainment businesses.
The marketing aspects of these industries have gained a lot of insights from the potential consumer population who support these popular industries. As compensation for regular participation on ePoll Surveys gift certificates that range from $5 to $30 are awarded
How Does It Work?
One of the first requirements to get started with ePoll Surveys is to sign up for a free membership account, but do take note that this is available to US residents only.
Specific details need to be filled out in the membership form. A confirmation email will then be sent and upon approval, a reward of 100 points will be awarded to the member.
An initial survey will be sent through email once membership is confirmed. However, the availability of the succeeding surveys will depend on the personal details provided by the member. On average, around two survey invites are sent out each week.
Can You Make Money?
Once you become a member and survey invites are sent your way, ePoll Surveys provides a points system which equates to a particular amount of money.
Based on the specific ePoll Rewards, a survey that is fully accomplished will often be worth 500 to 1,000 points.
There are some surveys though that will not pay out the same amount, so members can expect some surveys to be priced lesser or bigger than usual.
A big advantage to answering surveys with ePoll Surveys is the immediate return of points. This can be easily viewed as soon as you check on your ePoll account.
All the points that you accumulate from the surveys you answer have dollar equivalents and can be exchanged through gift certificates of popular products and services or through cash deposits on PayPal.
Additionally, there is an available option of donating your points to particular charities.
Is It A Scam or Legit?
Based on different ePoll Surveys Review online, there is a good level of legitimacy and proper reputation linked with being a member of the site and participating on the different survey invites.
But of course, not all sites are perfectly made and despite the fact that a good amount of money can be made when regular participation is done, there are some surfacing ePoll surveys complaints.
Not to be comparable to supposed ePoll Surveys Scam, but more associated with how the site functions overall, some members have found a number of flaws that need some improvement.
An immediate issue that can be seen is the difficulty to navigate through the site and how particular parts seem a bit out of order.
Another notable concern that should be improved soon is the abrupt increase of information provided within the site that does necessarily translate to usable knowledge, plus the technical difficulties that make it hard for members to log in for access.
Is It Worth it?
In the case of whether ePoll Surveys, or any paid web survey panels are worth it you must first look at how they work.
- It takes quite a bit of time to complete the survey
- You dont always qualify for the surveys
- The money you do make off them is very small
- Sometimes survey panels dont pay you
When taking these things into consideration I personally dont bother with survey sites. I think that the trade between time and money is not right.. It takes me too much time to make too little money!
There is also no way you can automate the process to scale your income up. This is why I choose not to make money doing surveys.
I recommend affiliate marketing to anyone wanting to make decent money online. It is easy to do and can be scaled up by using tools to automate things.

Hey Beau,
awesome review man! When I was younger and more naive than I am now 😛 I looked into making money online through surveys and I agree that it is not a smart way to spend your time. When you do the math for time/money trade-off it is probably lower than minimum wage.
I don’t know If I had ever tried ePolls before but at least it’s good to know it’s not a total scam website. However, I have also learned that affiliate marketing is the way to go.
I have been using Wealthy affiliate for over a month now and the training and help from the community is unparalleled. I definitely recommend others to check out Wealthy Affiliate!
Affiliate Marketing is definitely the way to go. I have never really cared for the surveys… especially when they tell you all you have to do is one survey which turns into 20… Very frustrating. I enjoy doing Affiliate Marketing. You feel like you have actually built your own business online. Thanks for the article. Great Job!
I myself have done a couple of surveys but ended up quitting because like you, it does take up too much of your time to make too little money. They can/do pay but the time invested it simply not worth it.
Best wishes.
Hey Beau – I’d never heard of Epoll Survey’s before but I understand why it would lure a lot of people in! Easy money!
Usually anything worthwhile, especially when it comes to earning money online, take time and effort, which usually turns people right off!
Thanks for the post – I’ll stay clear of the surveys!
