KEY FEATURES:

Esearch is one of the first and oldest online survey panels, having come into existence in 1995. Esearch is primary focused on the USA market, and currently has almost 1 million survey panelists. Survey panel members of Esearch receive cash awards for their participation, or sweepstakes entries for cash drawings.

Earn Cash!

Esearch pays cash honorariums for your participation by PayPal only. Make sure the email you sign up with is the same email you use for your PayPal account in order to redeem your rewards. Most surveys have cash incentives, but a few have draws. The cash incentive/draw information will be noted on the survey invitation so you will know your reward before filling out the survey. Incentives range from $1-$5 or more.

Survey Details

The typical survey on Esearch will take you 10-15 minutes to complete. Panelists usually receive a survey invitation to participate about once a month. These are usually online surveys, but you may be asked to try out a product at home and give your opinion. Although Esearch accepts panelists from around the world, most studies are for the US market, and therefore international panelists will get few survey requests.

this site is good that i've gotten everything i was promised in terms of incentives. this site is bad in that i didn't get my payment until almost 3.5 months after i requested it.

I have been with Esearch for several years. They do have some really good paying surveys (in the $50-$120) range, IF you qualify. That can be a stickler, but I can live with that. What's very irritating is that they always pay past the promised date. I mean by weeks, not days. This seems to be SOP for them and I don't understand at all why they promise payment in a certain month when they send you the survey invite, but then don't come through for 2-3 weeks after, on average. If it's going to take that long, SAY SO when you send out the invite. Apparently the standard reason is "we're waiting for funds from our client". Ok, if you have a pokey client, that's unfortunate but that's not your members' fault, again, make it CLEAR to your members how long payouts will take.

This makes twice that I filled out a survey for esearch with thoughtfully written answers and enough information to be obvious that I was selected as the demographic and was nearing the end of the survey. I was kicked out for not being the right demo even though I was answering question specific to the survey topic. They're getting survey information and then dropping the survey taker before the end so as not to pay.

Don't waste your time with Esearch! They used to be a reliable survey company but they stopped paying people about a year ago! When you contact them about missed payments they'll assure you that the money is on the way but they never actually send the payment!

I've waited for 3 months for a $3 Paypal payment. I have contacted the company, they replied with an apology and promise of payment a month ago. I am not holding my breath that I will ever receive that payment, and I don't intend to do any more of their surveys.
