How do those 'online surveys' work?

Question

i've been hearing a lot about them. how do these operations work? some average joe from home takes a survey and gets sent a check for a large sum of money?

Answer 1

to learn how to qualify for surveys, takes a little more skill, and some background knowledge about surveys... this is why many people aren't successful completing surveys... they don't know how to answer the qualification questions

Answer 2

Most of them are scams.  I belong to three sites that aren't scams, but you DO NOT get large sums of money from them.  I've been a member of one for about six months and have received checks totaling less than $30 so far.  The other two sites require you to have a balance of $30 before requesting a check, and I haven't gotten there yet.  I spend a LOT of time checking into the survey's only to find out that I don't qualify, and I get nothing for those.  I probably end up spending at least 15 minutes each week doing that - and if I bothered with checking back daily on two of the three sites, I could spend up to 2 hours a week on just checking to see if there are any surveys for which I'm eligible.

Any site that promises tons of money or anything like that is a scam.  If you are interested in the sites I belong to, email me from my profile.

Answer 3

I've done surveys for some time now and created a site that has everything I know about free online surveys. It has videos tutorial, legit survey sites that have paid me along with proof of payment, and contact info if you want more guidance or have questions.

Answer 5

There are many good online paid survey sites which conduct market research surveys. Many of them give handsome rewards for your participation in online surveys. You have to join each of them individually and you get survey invitations by email. Rewards for surveys vary from $1 to $20 or more. Many pay for each survey you take or give you points which you can redeem for cash at a particular level. Some of them enter you into sweepstakes.

All are free to join. The so called paid surveys which charge money like $35 for you to join are only databases of such free to join companies, which you have to join individually. But only 30 to 40 out of those 500 or so survey sites are really worth joining.

I've included a list of the top 10 websites which I'm using on the above blog if you want to take a look.

Answer 6

No, that's not how they work at all.  There's a lot more to survey's then what people on here or anywhere else is going to tell you.  I recommend you read this article on how survey's work and what you do.  It will give you a lot of information that is not told, as well as things that are told.  If you decide that doing survey's is what you want to do, the person who wrote the article has survey's that do work, but you need to read this article in order to understand exactly what's involved.

Good Luck to you!
