Many survey sites out there market to kids under 18. But are they safe? It’s understandable that kids want to start making money to start buying their own things and survey sites can make that possible.
As a teen, you’d want to know that the survey sites you’re visiting would have your parents’ approval. And as a parent, you’d want to know that your child is using survey sites that are safe. You’d also want to know that the content on the site is appropriate for younger users.
Here are twelve survey sites that are geared toward kids and are committed to having kid-friendly content. The minimum user age on each site varies, so we’ll share this information here as well.
Also, it’s important to note that these sites require parental consent for any member under age 18. Check them out and see if any of these survey sites can help your child earn some spending cash.

Sweepstakes pay winners in the form of electronics items, vacations, cash, and other prizes. VIP Voice also has auctions you can enter to bid on items too.
6. Survey Savvy

When you fit the criteria for a survey you’ll be sent an email with instructions. Most kid-geared surveys ask questions about video games, toys, snacks, etc. You’ll be paid for each survey you take. Payment is made via a check mailed to your house.
They will also pay you $5 per month for installing their tracking software on an internet connected device.
7. Kids Opinions
Kids Opinions is a division of Panel Polls surveys. Children as young as three years of age can be invited to participate. Survey “jobs” might include playing a video game, testing out a toy and more.

9. Paid Viewpoint
Paid Viewpoint accepts members aged 13 and up and pays cash for every completed survey. The more surveys you complete with them, the more your “TrustScore” rises.
The TrustScore helps the company identify which members are truly working to give honest answers. And it helps weed out people who may be simply trying to complete as many surveys as they can in the shortest amount of time.
You’ll get paid more for the surveys you complete as your TrustScore rises. Higher pay results in more total earnings.

This sounds interesting for the kids and will prepare them for bigger business consciousness. But, does this apply to children in Africa, or the developed world, where the only reliable address is their parent’s office address because the house address is not reliable?
Deacon
They could always try it and find out. The only thing they have to lose is the time it took to complete the surveys.

This is an interesting list! Will they send the payments directly to the kids? In that case, how do they verify that the accounts do belong to kids?

Hi,
I’m 12 years old and I’m trying to save up at least $500 for a dog. But none of these things really helped me because I live in Australia and in a small town where the people are mean and don’t care. The websites are for American kids and the things don’t work for me because no one wants a baby sitter here. Someone please help me and give me advice.
Deacon
First, do keep in mind this website is in the US. However, there are lots things you could do to make money. There are some other posts on our site with ideas that might help. They include ways to make money recycling paper or selling pop can tabs. There are several on how to make money as a teen or a kid.
Of course, living in Australia, not all of these will work for you. However, it’s possible some of the options could give you other ideas for ways to make money where you live. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box a bit. You never know, you could invent a whole new business idea! Good luck and don’t give up!

Hi I’m 12 years old as well and I’m glad to see that I’m not the only 12 year old out here. I’ve been wanting to sign up for ‘KidzEyes’ and have been having confusion in the registration process. During the registration process, do I have to enter my parent/guardian’s information or mine? Anyone have any advice for me? Please help me.
Araceli
And also, on ‘KidzEyes’, how do I receive the money? Does it go to a credit card or can I get it physically? I’m confused and would be very thankful for any help I can get.

I don’t know what to do. I’m trying to save at least £150 pounds for some new clothes, although my dad wont let me because apparently, its not safe.
Deacon
There are also other posts on our site about ways kids and teens can make money. Maybe some of those would be better options or meet their approval. Check them out and good luck!
Arie
Hi,
I’m Arie I’m only 12 and where I live it is very quiet. Nobody’s ever outside. I live in new apartments, so nobody’s even around. I want to know how to make money to help my family. If you have any advice, I’d be delighted to hear it.
Deacon
You could start by using the ideas in this post. We also have other posts on our site about ways kids and teens can make money. If your apartment has a central location for mail with a bulletin board, perhaps you could post something there about babysitting, cleaning, doing odd jobs, etc., with the permission of your parents, of course. I wish you luck!

I’m trying to get money because my mom needs it for house bills and I what to be a billionaire.
Deacon

How do I know I have money?
Deacon
Each of the sites should have a running balance for you each time you login.

Hi. I’m trying to buy an iPhone. But, I really can’t. I’m so sad. My parents can’t afford one for me, but I’m trying my best. I just need someone to please help me before I go crazy. I hope this helps. ????
Chyna
So when it says, “You received money,” does it go to your credit card and to get it you have to go to a nearby bank to get the money from it? I’m confused. I just need money for an iPhone. Someone please help. I just need help right now. I don’t want to give up.
Deacon
While I’m sorry your parents can’t afford to get you the phone you want, I do think it’s great that you are willing to work to get it for yourself. Maybe if you are confused about how the surveys work, you should talk to your parents and read through the terms and conditions as well as the FAQ’s and policies of the sites you’re interest in. Also, we do have other posts on this site with ideas about ways kids and teens can make money. Check them out to see if there are more ways you can earn the money you need. 🙂
