Paid for online surveys?

Question

I've been hearing and seeing ads for taking online surveys and making big bucks. Is this true? I wanna try it out but I don't want to get suckered into paying anything to not get anything or get a computer virus.

Does anyone make money off of online surveys? Whats your experience with it, how much do you make, and what are the real sites from the fakes?

Answer 1

i made 30 dollars from inbox dollars

Answer 2

Yes it's true you can get paid but you definitely don't want to quit your job. Opinion Outpost is legitimate and I've gotten paid but not much, if you are looking for other ways to make money there are lots. People make money from blogging, GPT sites etc.www.squidoo.com/moneycrunchalert

I set up an email account just to see if the adds are true. What I found out is that there are a lot of companies out there advertising the same thing and they are all liars. Yes you can make a little money (and I mean a little.) taking these surveys. What will happen is they will ask you to take a survey that will pay from 5 cents to a dollar. It will take you forever to finish and most of the time you won't know if your done or not because they bombard you with offers. If you don't say yes to at least one offer you get shunted to another page of offers in perpetuity. If you do say yes you will wind up buying something that costs more then you will ever earn on the site. Additionally, in order to complete the survey that you want to earn a quarter from, you will be required to enter your name, address, phone number and email address. I started getting so many phone calls from people trying to sell me cruises, home improvements, cars, loans, credit cards etc. that I had to change my phone number. The email address I created for this venture was deluged by email to the tune of 200 a day. All advertisements from the surveys. My net result was a check for $11.80 for the month of July. If that had been my only source of income I would have either had to spend all day, every day to get anywhere near minimum wage, or I would have starved. I came to the conclusion that the only reason they offer what little they do is to get you to look at all those offers, hoping someone will think they'll get more money if they say yes to one. My conclusion....DON'T DO IT. The heartburn is not worth it.

Answer 7

Yes and No.  It's true that you can make extra money, but big bucks, no.  There are a lot of survey sights in which you can make a couple hundred dollars if you sign up for several sights.  but signing up for just one, won't do much at all.  

There's an article that you should read that will explain in full detail of what's all involved, what you do as well as be able to obtain a few sights in which you don't pay for.  I think before diving into them, you should read this article.  They can be a good way to make extra money, and have free products to try out and be compensated for trying them out and giving your imput on, but it won't replace a full time job.

Answer 8

They are all scams, pure and simple.

No legitimate company will pay for people to fill out surveys. Why?

Because any survey that pays to have people complete it is statistically invalid.

So if someone says they will pay you to fill out surveys it is either a scam to get you to send them 'filing fees' or 'registration', or they are effectively buying your personal information, which will then be used to send you spam after spam after spam.

Stay away.
