Question

Can you get paid for doing on-line surveys,or is it a con?

Answer 1

There are a lot of scams out there, so be careful. There are a few sites that I have used for a while now and have gotten paid by. The good sites won't charge you to join, and will usually pay around $1-$5 and up to $15 per survey. Each survey takes between 5 and 40 minutes, and you usually get paid within a few weeks.

The sites that I use are SurveySavvy and Opinion Outpost, along with several others. There are a bunch of reviews at http://www.earnontheside.com/?page_id=13 , Just remember, if a site wants your credit card.... then it is a scam.

Answer 2

Scams all of them

Answer 3

I started to get interested in that and signed up to a few sites but when i began to dig deeper into the folk that had won certain prizes etc i found their profiles weren't available and it all started to look a bit shady to me so i cancelled my details.

Maybe there  are some legit sites but i would do your homework and look right around and deeply into their site and check out the profiles etc of other contributors...good question

Answer 4

Yes, you can get paid and not all of them are scams. Yougov for example is a genuine survey for payment facility on line and so far I've been paid £50 and am well on my way to the next £50.

Answer 5

Yes, there are some websites that allow you to do online surveys for cash. Some are rip-offs and some aren't. I've found one that isn't. You can find more information about one I use here:

good luck!

Answer 6

I do not think it is always a con, there are legitimate surveys,.however the ones that I have actually took part in that paid me anything pay a minimal amount that will by no means support anyone, and is less than you can make by using a credit card to shop, with points back for cash.

So I would not use them if I was trying to get ahead it is simply too slow.

I have gotten nothing but spam from the rest of them.

If you want to start up a viable business find one that you can believe in.

Make sure it satisfies your needs and you are comfortable in entering into that relationship.

You should never have to pay for the ability to work. You should get back everything you put into it and the more you put in the more you get back. Your business should be yours and something you can be proud of. It should be sustainable and profitable.

Never let anyone con or coerce you into paying for information or support.

If you are interested in talking to me drop me an email. I will be glad to tell you more about my business.

I have provided my links in my profile and look forward to conversing with you.

Answer 7

I would imagine some of them are, but there are ones that definatley pay.

yougov.com pay small amounts and there aren't many surveys to do. Hence the reason you really need to register with as many as possible provided you can keep it all organised with regards to usernames, passwords etc.
