3 Awesome (Non-Survey) Paid Opinion-Sharing Sites

We talk a lot about online surveys, but there are plenty of other ways to get paid to share your opinion. If you’re burnt out on survey-taking, you might want to look into some alternative options. 

Depending on your interests, you might even find an opportunity to share your opinion on something you’re passionate about. If you feel like you have some good insights on a particular subject, don’t hesitate to look for a platform that’ll pay you for it. 

To get your wheels turning, here are just a few of the best non-survey opinion-sharing sites that pay. 

Slicethepie

Slicethepie is a paid review platform. It sources reviews on everything from fashion to consumer products, but its main focus is music. It claims to have sourced nearly 60 million reviews so far. 

Here’s how it works: When you sign up for a free account, you fill out a questionnaire regarding your tastes. From there, Slicethepie provides things for you to review. Most often, these will be popular music tracks. 

After you listen to a song, you rate it and write your review. The more quality details you include, the better you’ll get paid. If you love music, this one is a no-brainer. 

UserTesting

UserTesting is a product testing platform designed to help companies understand their customers. Brands pay UserTesting to host their in-development products, which the site’s users try out and review. 

To sign up for UserTesting, you need to apply first. If you’re approved, you’ll immediately be able to start testing online products and services. 

Best of all, UserTesting offers a consistent pay rate. You make $4 for every 5-minute test, $10 for a 20-minute test, and between $30 and $120 for live interviews.

Pinecone Research

Technically, Pinecone is still a survey site, but with a greater emphasis on gathering consumer impressions of products or concepts. This means that product-testing opportunities are more widely available, and that you’ll be asked more direct questions than a typical survey. 

Plus, Pinecone pays pretty well. Each product review you complete earns $3, and you can count on more if they send you a product to test at home.
