Net sites that offer money to participate in polls, survey, and focus groups. Is it a sham?

Question

I'm interested to hear from someone who has done this, or knows about it. Were there drawbacks?

Answer 1

I know of two sites right now, which I'm a member of both and they both are completely free. The two sites are http://cashcrate. com/633485 (without the space) and http://www.makethatdollar.com/?ref=creed...

They both are good. You can make a good amount of money off of both sites. It depends how much you put in. On http://cashcrate. com/633485 (without the space), I've made about $45 a day, http://www.makethatdollar.com/?ref=creed... pays more per survey you take.

Also, you can refer people to join on both sites. When you do, you get 20% of what the person you refer makes, and you get 10% of whatever people they can refer.

I highly recommend both sites. You can also save up points that you get for doing surveys as well and trade them in for prizes, such as cameras, gift cards or even an xbox 360.

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Like I said, I recommend both sites. Give it a try. I promise you'll like them :)

Answer 2

There are plenty of these net sites out there and the ones mentioned earlier are all good.  Most of the time you will have to register with many different companies because the surveys aren't frequent enough for most.  That depends on what you are wanting to make doing these.  You can earn extra income with all the ones previously mentioned so go give them a try.

Answer 3

Hi,

I have a lot of experience marketing small companies online (I have 3 companies).  One of the best ways is to sign up at business directories and protals.  These are basically listings of businesses (simliar to the phone book).  The advantage is that these portals usually get a lot of traffic and they're ranked high on Google because of all the quality links they contain.

My favorite portal is called Directory Exclusive.  I signed up a few weeks ago because they're giving a away a free business card holder when a person enter's their company info.  I received it in the mail 3 days ago =)

I don't know if they still have that promotion, but you can try to get the free card holder here:

I believe this website will help you in your endeavors. The video tutorials can help ease the process of entering into paid survey sites. They also have proof of payment pictures to show that these sites are not scams.

*the key is not to just sign up for one site and expect loads of riches, but to sign up for a few and have the smaller checks add up*

*if you ever have to pull out a credit card, its not worth it*

Answer 6

From what I've seen, yes. I think Mark works for project payday seeing he answers only these questions with the same responses. Every site asks you for credit card information which makes me uneasy. Let us know if you find different.

Answer 7

Not ever site is a sham, but anyone who solicits you to join - such as 'Mark'....those are either shams or he's earning something based on the number of referrals he receives.

The one survey site/company that I've done before is LiveWire.  Surveys come occasionally and earnings range from $1 - $10 on average.  They pay by check.  I've been with them for a few years now.

Finding sites and making lots of money - probably not - earning a few bucks - yes, it's possible.

Epinions.com is also very legit - there you'll earn money for writing product reviews.  This one I've also done for years.

AND - I earn no referrals - nothing - from telling you about these two sites.

Answer 8

I suggest Mypoints.com. I have been with them for 5 years. I never buy anything thru them, but I do visit the sites in the emails and answer a survey or two. Last year or so I have got $50 Staples gift card & $50 Kohl's gift card. I would rack up tons more but I prefer just to buy direct from vendor sites.

Good Luck
