The field of market research has become really popular amongst home-based freelancers and those who are looking for easy ways to make money. But just like any other website offering online based jobs, there are those that are viewed as trusted and really legitimate companies, while there are those that are considered as scams of frauds.
And out of the many sites one can choose from, Valued Opinions is deemed to be one of the most reliable providers of available surveys. However, while it is easy to sign up with group, surveys and research are, more often than not, by invitation.
What Is It All About?
- Company: Valued Opinions
- URL: www.ValuedOpinions.com
- Price: Free To Join
- Rating: 2.5 out of 5
Being a long time member of the online marketing and search industry, Valued Opinions offer survey opportunities to those who have signed up to become members.
Through the surveys that the company offers, members will have more opportunities to try new products, participate in surveys and earn rewards at the same time.
Owned by Research Now, the company is considered to be one of the leading names in the business of research and marketing through the internet. Together with their members, the company aims to help develop, test and improve on the different products that the company has actually partnered with. Most of the product related surveys
How Does It Work?
Valued Opinions boasts on making sure that their select members will find where they actually belong through their ability to categorize their surveys and research and their participants/members as well. Here is how it actually works:
- Register – this is the very first thing that you need to do in order to take part in the surveys that the company actually offers. Once you have completed the registration process, you will immediately be included on the list of “elite” researches and study participants.
- Take the survey – once you have received an invite to take a survey, you will then be asked to accomplish the questionnaire and submit as soon as you are done.
- Get Rewarded – after the survey, you will immediately be informed that you have received payment for the survey that you have taken. The amount will be depended on what is specified on the invite.
Can You Make Money?
The company will send you invites to take part on surveys and in turn, you will be rewarded or “paid” through the specified amount on the invite.
The amount will then be credited to your Valued Opinions account in a matter of 6 weeks. Now, as soon as you have reached the minimum redeemable amount, you can cash it out through gift cards, vouchers and gift certificates.
Now if you are asking if you really can make money out of this, well, if you call gift cards and vouchers as money, then you can definitely earn something.
However, these are simply rewards which you can get for answering a few surveys, so this means that because surveys are to be taken based on invites and rewards are to be turned into the voucher of choice, you are technically not getting paid!
Is It A Scam or Legit?
Valued Opinions operate mostly in Asia and Europe, with millions of affiliate companies and members, this is no doubt a legitimate operation. The business has offered millions of surveys to members, who have received great rewards in return.
Is It Worth it?
Valued Opinions is probably one of the better survey sites available on the internet. You can make a couple extra dollars here and there in the form of vouchers. So there is a small reward for participating.
The only thing I dont like about Valued Opinions, and this goes for all survey sites, is that there is no way to scale the income generated. I cant get someone to duplicate what I do to make me more money and there is no way for me to automate the process.
This is why I choose to do Affiliate Marketing. It has been the perfect business for me to start and generate money while I am doing things like snow boarding, going out for tea with my family, mountain biking with my son or watching my daughter at dance class.

Hi there, thanks for this post. This is definitely an interesting way to add some additional income that I have not considered. How long would say each of these surveys would take you to complete? Also, how much money do you receive per survey?
hi Beau!
I think you have a good point in that Valued Opinions is a legit operation but that the rewards are little for the amount of time put in. It seems like that for the time invested, the rewards are not that big. If you have to wit 6 weeks to “get paid” then wait to have enough to redeem vouchers and gift cards, its a long tiring process. It’s not a scam but one would need to be invested in the whole thing quite a bit.
