Your2Cents Company Information

Your2Cents® Online Opinions Panel is headquartered in Dallas, Texas and is owned and operated by Common Knowledge Research Services. The company focuses on market research, and has been in business for more than 15 years. Their Your2Cents panel is comprised of US and Canadian residents, and currently contains over one million households. Your2Cents works with many top companies and aid them in delivering the information they need about gathering consumer opinions on their latest products and services.

Program Details and Suggestions

Getting Started. You can sign up for the Your2Cents paid survey panel by clicking the registration link on this page. You then will be taken through a quick set of profile registration questions. Upon completion you must respond to a confirmation email. Once your confirm your registration will can gain access to the Your2Cents members page. The members site gives you access to your contact information, your bonus member profiles, your survey history, your cash balance / redeem balance page. Our first recommendation is to fill out the bonus profile surveys in the members area. You will usually get one extra dollar for each completed profile survey the next time you complete a member's survey. Plus these profile surveys will be used to match you up with future paid surveys.

What to expect? After you sign up and complete your member profiles, Your2Cents will automatically email you survey invitations that they feel may be a close match to your profile. The survey invitations will contain the topic of the survey, the estimated length of time to complete, and the reward being offered. I have found that it is also a good idea to login to the members area from time because Your2Cents is constantly adding bonus profile surveys that you should take for maximum reward potential. Plus, you can access current surveys in the member's area just in case you missed the email survey invitation.

The Your2Cents surveys always start out with a few qualifying questions, and if you match the profile that is needed you are asked to complete the survey and given the reward amount indicated in the email. If you do not qualify, you are entered into their $5000 cash giveaway sweepstakes. You also get one entry just for joining the panel. The number of surveys that you will receive from Your2Cents will vary, but in general you should expect between two to four invitations per month, with most averaging between $1 to $5 dollars each. However, completing the your bonus profiles can result in higher reward amounts for any one given survey. You can request cash payment in the form of a check once you have accumulated $5 or more.

Advice: We recommend that you take all of the cash surveys that Your2Cents sends you. They do a pretty good job with matching you up with surveys that match your interest and they do not offer many, so you should make an effort to take them all. If you have time be sure to check their member's area, and take any new booster profiles and keep your existing profiles up to date.

Just received a payment for $500.

Sometimes people don't believe me when I tell them about how much money you can get by taking paid surveys online...

So I took a video of myself actually getting paid over $500 for doing paid surveys to set the record straight.
