Generally speaking, the team here at Work From Home Watchdog are not fans of paid surveys. Yes, they can generate some income online, but up until now we have found them to be time consuming, difficult to use, and most importantly, not very profitable.
So when we were asked to provide a review for a brand new survey site called PaidViewPoint.com, we were far from excited. Is it yet another complicated survey process with little in the way of earning potential? What follows might well surprise you.
The first thing that has to be said about this particular website is the general feel of it. In the past we have always found survey sites in particular to be cheap to look at, and difficult to navigate. That’s definitely not the case with PaidViewPoint.com because what you get here is a fresh looking platform that is actually simple to navigate and easy to use.
Now we all know that looks aren’t everything, so let’s take a closer look under the hood of Paid View Point and see if we can spot why this opportunity might be different from the rest. Remember that these are my own thoughts based on the fact that I have actually joined up (it’s free) and tried the system myself.
What there is to love about PaidViewPoint.com…
1) No getting kicked out half way through a survey!
It’s one of the most common complaints made about online surveys, and it’s perhaps one of the main reasons why survey sites generally have such a bad name. PaidViewPoint.com are keen to make it clear that if you take a survey, you will be allowed to complete it, and you will get paid for your time.
2) Your privacy really is respected.
If you’ve had experience with online surveys in the past it’s very likely that you yourself have had your personal details sold on (another popular complaint about other survey websites), and PaidViewPoint.com assure you that your details are totally safe by not requesting your full name and full home address.
3) PaidViewPoint.com has a solid pedigree
Created by the same team responsible for InstantCashSweepstakes.com (a US-only survey site), Paid View Point is built on the same principles and integrity as its sister site.
4) Worldwide acceptance into the program
With InstantCashSurveys.com restricting its service to US users only, it was necessary to have an alternative service that can be used by anyone, anywhere in the world. PaidViewPoint.com is that program.
5) You do actually earn real cash for completing surveys!
Really…there’s no junk or false promises here. When PaidViewPoint.com tell you how much you can earn, you really do earn that amount of money! It’s amazing to think that this point has to be justified in this way because a ‘paid survey’ should after all be a ‘paid survey’, yet anyone with previous experience will know that this is not always the case.
Paid View Point recognize this, and do everything they can to show what you are earning with each survey.
This leads nicely to my only real negative…
Earnings can be slow…initially.
Earlier I mentioned that survey sites generally require a lot of work to earn just a few dollars, but PaidViewPoint.com just about avoid this same downside with a very smart loyalty system.
Basically, the more surveys you take, the greater your ‘TrustScore’ becomes. This is a special algorithm that increases as the system becomes more trusting of you and your survey answers, and once it hits 9000 you get paid more per survey.
Now obviously this takes some time, but we have to consider PaidViewPoint.com here…they have to learn to trust you as a survey taker, and when they do they will reward you with more substantial earnings.
It’s worth pointing here that the figures in the image above were achieved by me within 5 minutes of signing up, so you can see for yourself the potential of the system.
However, with a little persistence…earnings do grow:
So the big question is…is PaidViewPoint.com a scam?
Despite my general dislike for survey sites, I can honestly say that it is definitely NOT a scam. Everything about the site feels trustworthy, and with their previous experience of InstantCashSweepstakes.com they have built a Worldwide opportunity that will no doubt be just as successful.
Of course, earnings are relatively low, but that is to be expected of a low-skill work from home opportunity. However, if you like the appeal of taking simple surveys and earning a few dollars every now and then, PaidViewPoint.com gets the Work From Home Watchdog seal of approval for being one of the best online survey websites that we have seen in a very long time!

Hi Marcus,
I am a member of two months on this site and each survey is worth $ 0.03 to me and I gathered every 7233 points. I heard from others that they have received and surveys with a value of $ 0.75 or 0.10. Why do I get only polls worth only 3 cents each? Because I have no referral or why?
Hi Ionut,
This is normal for Paidviewpoint.com, and you will get emails about “first come first served” surveys where you can earn more than you would for a standard survey.
All the best,
Marcus

Hello Marcus,
I just wanted to ask that how will I receive the amount that I will earn, will it be by post?
Thankyou,
Safia
Hi Safia,
Payments from Paidviewpoint are typically made via Paypal, and you can setup payments to you from within your account settings page.
All the best,
Marcus
Dear sir,
In this site from where do we get surveys from the site itself or in email.

Hi Laku,

Hi , Mr.Marcus,
you are doing really great job by telling us about the earning money from home,i just joined paidviewpoint according to your opinion ,if this get worked i will be the first person to thank you
but,after completing registration i got only one servey then i got 0.85 dollars ,i m bit confused…guide me.
Hi Rohan,
you will receive emails from PaidViewPoint as and when new surveys are ready for you. As mentioned previously, these come in at a fairly regular rate, and every time you complete one your earnings increase (as shown in my review).
It’s a great way to earn a few extra $$’s Rohan, so I wish you every success with it!
Best wishes,
Marcus
WFHW
Of how much money are we talking? How much money it si possible to get doing some surveys daily, in a month?
Hi Tomas,
Paid View Point is a low income opportunity, so earning potential is not as great as some of the other opportunities that we have reviewed. In fact, the same applies to all survey programs…they are not intended to generate a big income, just a few extra dollars as and when surveys are made available.
All the best,
Marcus

Hi Mr Marcus, I am a house wife from Bangalore, India. I read ur reviews thoroughly. Thank u for ur reviews. I just signed up for paidviewpoint. I am happy personally. It looks genuine. I have already started posted my link to Post Ad websites in India. In India, there is huge potential and lot of people waiting for genuine sites like this. Pl. encourage me. I will try to work hard more.
Thanks for taking the time, and we are pleased to hear that you are getting on well with PaidViewPoint. It’s a very easy site to use, and the earning potential is there if you are committed to spreading the word.
Wishing you every success!

hi there
i just registered on it and got 0.85.. how much time does it take to reach 15 dollar. do they send surveys regulary or what??
Hi Rajat,
You will get a regular flow of surveys to complete…I can assure you of that. You will also get the chance to earn more for ‘first come first served’ surveys, plus your earnings will increase as and when your trait score increases. Keep an eye on your inbox for emails from PaidViewPoint because they do come frequently :-)
Best wishes,
Marcus

The problem that I have with Paidviewpoint is that it’s the same questions all the time. Distinguishing if I am female or not, if I live in MN or not and if I am unemployed or not. That gets a little old.
Thanks
Hi Shirley,
You raise a good point, and I’ve been using PaidViewPoint for over a year now and it is an ongoing thing.
However, I feel this is something they have to do because they are trying to understand you and your lifestyle. Also, things do change over time (income, home type etc), and surveys always alert you if you answer differently to before and allow you to update.
I have to say that I don’t mind the repeats because it’s very little effort for some extra cash, but I also appreciate your point at the same time.
Best wishes,
Marcus

Hi I just signed up for paidviewpoint and successfully registered. How do I start getting the surveys? I don’t see an option to start
Hi Max,
You will be emailed as soon as a survey is ready. Don’t worry, they come at a fairly regular rate :)
All the best,
Marcus
I just joined with no problem. Just after registering I already made $1.21 not much but not bad for almost nothing. It’s more than I’ve made on any other survey site. Glad I came across your site and took your opinion.
Thanks Marcus for your hard work!
From a new friend in Florida!!!!
Have a great day!
Hi Mayra,
Glad to hear that you found our review helpful :)
The great thing about Paidviewpoint is that it is simple to use. It certainly won’t make you rich, but if you don’t mind clicking a few boxes and earning small amounts each time then it does add up over time.
I actually take charge of doing the WFHW surveys on Paidviewpoint, and whilst they can be similar over time (as they attempt to really understand you), it really is a very easy way to earn a few extra dollars :)
Thanks for stopping by Mayra, and do pop back and let us know how things go for you.
All the best,
Marcus

I’d really like to register for the site, but every time I’ve tried, it’s said the registration can not be accepted? I tried to do a bit of research and see if anyone else had had this problem, but the only thing I found said that PaidViewPoint no longer accepts new members, unless you’re referred by an existing one…is that right?
Hi Sarah,
This sounds like a new development that we are not aware of, but if you do want to join you can use the following invite from us:

Hi,
I was wondering if you had any updates on how things were going on paidviewpoint & e cashopinions ?
Thanks
Hi Jeff,
We have made great progress with PaidViewPoint in particular, but not so good with eCashopinions. We plan on putting something together in the coming months that outlines the best earners for us, and I’m pretty sure that PaidViewPoint will be on that list. It’s very easy to use, and best of all…it’s free :)
Best wishes for now,
Marcus

Sure can hanzizhi…as long as you link back to the source here it will be fine :-)

Do you mind if I quote a few of your posts as long as I provide credit and sources back to your website? My blog site is in the exact same niche as yours and my users would really benefit from some of the information you provide here. Please let me know if this okay with you. Thank you!
Hi unsaduath,
Unfortunately there are MANY websites of this kind out there, and yes…there are a lot of false promises.
We found that paidviewpoint.com is one of the best out there because they don’t make any crazy promises, and you do earn for each survey that you take (even if it’s not much).
We plan on updating our review soon to let our visitors know how our earnings have increased at PVP, but do keep an eye on our recommendations page for other survey sites that we have found to be great:

Thanks!

I tried one of those online survey sites about 4 months ago that
say all you have to do is spend a couple of minutes filling out
some surveys and you will be making hundreds a day….. YEAH RIGHT, I didn’t make anything.
I joined 7 of these stupid websites and I actually tried filling
out a couple of surveys on each site and they took forever then at
the end they wanted me to buy things or I couldn’t complete the
survey.
These are complete scams so be aware!!! I couldn’t believe they
were even allowed to sell such bogus products.
We totally agree Nora! It might not be the best paid work from home opportunity, but you do get paid for the surveys you take, and it’s easy and fun to do.
Glad to hear that your earnings are increasing…keep us updated with your progress!
This site is actually really really good. I’ve been using this site for a couple of months and I’m already earning more than I earned frm any other site. :D I really recommend it!
