Question

Is it mostly scam for those paid on line typing, survey jobs etc...? thkq?

Answer 1

Not all, but there are a few. Be sure to choose wisely.

Answer 2

2 ways to look into:

1.   You need to register your accounts with Pay Pal and pay for a sales kit showing the procedures how to make money in accordance with your demand.  But no guarantee that you would get an assignment from the advertisers, instead you need to pay first and get your return later.  However, if you feel that no return is forthcoming, normally, you can think this is a scam.

2.   Even you have paid for the sales kit and given assignements to complete within your free time, you would only be paid little after deducting commission, or no payment at all, you may feel that you are being conned.

Remember, for those advertisements claiming to be able to earn between US$250 and US$1,000 per week for just typing at home is too good to believe.  If you are willingly to try, just pay for something and see the result for yourself.  The best is don't go into this trap but spend your time looking into other geniune offer that you can see face to face, it is more reality rather than accepting an offer online without knowing who they are.

Good luck.

Answer 3

The rule, as always, is to stay away from those that ask you to pay before you can get these surveys.

Legitimate market survey companies such as Pinecone Research recruit members based on demographic characteristics -- e.g. mothers of babies 0-12 years old -- and will send surveys of products and services targeting this demographic group. Pinecone Research, however, pays only $5 per survey -- you're definitely not going to be rich with that. They can give you anywhere from 1-5 at most surveys in a month.

Other companies simply ask you to answer as many research as possible, and you don't earn anything just the chance to win at a raffle (which I find lame).

The article "Earning Money from Surveys" provide a short list of legitimate market research firms and contains explanations of what to look for when joining surveys (and weeding out the fraudulent ones)

Answer 4

Not all online jobs are scams although the medium does make it more likely/possible.  Online mailing schemes (send $10 to each of the top 5 address type etc) are mostly pyramid like schemes so avoid them as well.
