Myiyo is a straightforward survey site. It does not have a huge number of surveys but because it is fairly user-friendliness it can be a decent site to earn some extra cash on the side. But there just are many better options.
At first sight, Myiyo seems like a regular paid survey site apart from the slightly strange name (we will get to the meaning of this name shortly).
But is Myiyo legit and actually a worthwhile survey site, or is it a scam site to stay away from?
Let me just reveal right away that it is legit, as it is possible to earn as a member. I have been paid by it myself several times. This does, however, not mean it will necessarily be the best use of time for you.
In this Myiyo review, I will share my experiences with you after having tested the site for a while now, so you know exactly what to expect if you decide to join and can do it with the right expectations.
Myiyo has existed for around 20 years now and was created by mo’web research, so it is a site that has been around for a while and has a solid company behind it.
It is based in Germany, but also offers surveys in other parts of the world (later I will get to which parts of the world you can join from).
On the website, Myiyo explains that the company adheres to Esomar’s guidelines and lives up to strict demands within the field of market research.
This is very nice and gives credibility, and this is very important for a survey site. It does, however, not necessarily mean that it will offer the right options and opportunities for you.
As with all other legit survey sites, Myiyo is free to join and use.
So let’s look into what Myiyo offers so you can find out if it will be worth joining or not.
1 – Paid surveys:
Myiyo is almost what I would call a classical paid survey site.
With that, I mean that the focus is on just paid surveys, and this is how you can mainly earn. Today, many survey sites have a lot of other ways to earn than just paid surveys.
Personally, I like using both sites that are only focused on surveys and reward portals that give a lot of options, like, for example PrizeRebel and SwagBucks.
The big advantage of a survey site like Myiyo is that it mainly just focuses on paid surveys, which makes it very easy to use, and it is quick to get an overview and find out how to use the options on the site.
These types of sites might not have as many daily options as some bigger reward portals, but I still really like using them because they are so easy to use. For me, the best way to get the most out of paid surveys is to join both types of sites.
Myiyo has a decent amount of paid surveys available, but the exact amount depends on where in the world you live.
Once you are inside the member area, you will right away be able to see if there are any available surveys or not. There will not always be, so you have to check back once in a while.
You can easily see how much each survey will give you.
You can easily see how much you will get for each survey and approximately how long it takes so you can choose the surveys that fit you the best.
The first thing you, however, have to do is to fill out your profile with some more data about yourself, so Myiyo can match surveys with you.
It takes maybe 15 minutes to fill out the profile, but you will get a bonus for this, as I will explain below.
Option 2 – Joining bonus:
When you first join Myiyo, there are a couple of ways to get a good start with some free points. You will get your first 100 points just by confirming your email.
When you fill out your profile info so that you can better be matched with surveys, you will get another 500 points.
So that is a great way to get started with a bit of points. It is not worth a lot in cash ( more about the value of points later), but still nice to get a bit compared to the sites where you get nothing for filling out your profile.
Option 3 – Membership levels:
When you join Myiyo, you will have the title of novice. In time, you can get a higher membership level when you keep being active.
When you experience increases, you are supposedly able to have a lower payout threshold, but I have not personally been able to confirm this.
If you have, I would like to hear from you in a comment below.
Option 4 – Invite friends:
In addition to paid surveys, there is one other way to make money on Myiyo. You get a link that you can share and invite other people through. If somebody you invite joins Myiyo, you will get 500 points which is equivalent to €0.50.
So it is not a lot you can earn this way unless you know a lot of people that want to join.
But still, a nice way to be able to make a little extra. Be aware that you will not get your reward before the person you invite has finished at least one survey.
How do you get paid?
How you can actually get your earnings out is very important to know before joining any paid survey site.
Every time you do surveys or invite a friend to Myiyo, you earn points that can then be exchanged for cash later.
1000 points are worth €1, and you will get paid in Euro in most countries. So what it will be worth in your local currency if you live in a country that does not have Euro will depend on the current exchange rate.
Once you have earned 20000 points which is equivalent to €20, you can request a payout.
You can get paid through PayPal, which is my favorite way of getting paid from survey sites because it is so easy, and you can use PayPal for so many things. A really great thing about Myiyo is that it pays the PayPal fee, so there will be no fee for you when cashing out.
In South Africa and Turkey, you can also have the money transferred directly into your bank account.
The last way to get your money is by donating them to charity. Myiyo has a cooperation with the Charity “Three Little Birds” which supports any group in need like, for example, homeless people and the disadvantaged. You can choose to donate any amount of your earnings to this charity.
How much money can you make?
How much money it is possible to make is, of course, important to know before joining.
It is, however, very difficult to say as it depends on how many surveys you decide to take, how many of them you qualify for, and also where you live, as the number of surveys you will be offered depends on this.
Even though Myiyo only offers paid surveys and no other way to earn, it gives you decent opportunities.
If you take as many surveys as possible, you will be able to make a bit of extra money on the side. Not as much as on some sites that offer other ways of earning as well, but it can be a decent extra site to join and to do the surveys you can, as it offers surveys you cannot take on other platforms.
Just remember that when it comes to paid surveys in general, you will not become rich from doing them. You can make some nice extra money, but I always make sure to make it clear that it will not make you a full-time income.
If you know this and join with the right expectations, paid surveys are a great opportunity.
To sum it up, I think Myiyo is a decent survey site.
Also, you can get paid through PayPal, which I personally think is great, and especially great that Myiyo takes care of the fees that are related to PayPal. The downsides are that it has quite a high payout threshold that can take some patience to reach with the number of available surveys.
