I do a lot of research and a lot of reading, and one thing I've learned  is the secret to making money with taking surveys with the legit survey companies (not the "complete-a-hundred-offers disguised-as-surveys, surveys) is it takes being registered with mulitple survey companies.   Each survey requires a certain amount of people to  meet certain criteria for a survey to be both accurate and effective, so no one can qualify to take all surveys. 

That said, Valued Opinions appears to be highly regarded online as one of the best survey companies. Additionally, at the moment, they have posted a sweepstakes for new joiners to be entered to win a new Apple iPod touch.  Now, under their rules for the sweepstakes, the entry deadline was last week, but they also display the winner of the last contest, so I'm thinking the promo is still in effect and maybe they have not yet changed the deadline.  Either way, consider the sweepstakes an added bonus. 

Valued Opinions will be like most survey companies in that they will not send surveys everyday all day to complete which is why it takes multiple survey companies to make a "real' income taking surveys.  When applying with Valued Opinions, be sure to fill out the complete profile for the best chance to receive as many surveys as possible. 

Valued Opinions pays on average $2.00 to $5.00 per survey and up to $50.00 for specialist surveys.  Once an account reaches $20.00 the account can be cashed in for a gift cert.

I have other survey companies listed under GPT Surveys for anyone interested in making money this way.
