Answer 1

YOu can make a ton of money. But first you have to send them a very small fee of $79 or $179.  THen you receive a packet of materials that is worth less than 50 cents.  That is when you realize that you got scammed.  Please don't let them.

Answer 2

What Ed said is not true.  Maybe that's what he ran into, but there are actually a lot of different companies that you can participate in surveys and get paid for without having to pay or purchase anything.  

I know a group of people (some friends) that put surveys to the test.  They do work, however there are a lot of different things you need to know before getting involved.  What places to look into and things to look out for.  They created an article that gives a lot of information on exactly how surveys work and what's involved.  I recommend you read the article that they put together for people who want to take surveys to make extra money need to know that other surveyors will not tell you.  This is because if they refer you over, they either get money, or prizes.  So you need to know the facts on surveys before signing up for one.

Hey shellkat. I do earn money by completing surveys. Just to statisfy your skeptism, here are a few checks I've received from survey sites:

So I started doing surveys like two and a half years ago. I was curious about earning money online and searched online surveys. I joined a few sites and after a few days I started receiving some survey invites. The bad thing was you needed to complete the survey in order to get paid. Every time after I anwsered a few questions in the survey, I was told I didn't qualify. This means no pay. I was fustrated because I couldn't qualify for one survey. I took a break from surveys for a couple of months a came back to give it another try. This time I studied why I wasn't qualifying. I figured it out and the thing is surveys have a questions that need to be answered a certain way. I then began qualifying and getting paid. Oh yeah I forgot. Some where in my survey adventure I paid a survey site a "members fee" and it wasn't what I thought it was. Those survey site that charge, they just give you a list of other survey site to join. Kinda crappy. Anyways, the point is never pay to get paid. Legit survey site should never charge you for your opinions. So yeah, that is my experience. Since then, I got my own site and put all my knowledge on free online surveys to help other people who were just like me a few years ago looking for money. Here is my site if you wish to check it out

There are a lot of different survey and survey related sites around.  Many offer you money for doing the surveys or a gift or points that you can exchange for a gift.  Some may be scams, but if you do your homework and ask a few questions in advane you should be able to find out if they are the real deal or not.  Basically you don't want to have to pay anything period and as long as you fill out the surveys properly I see no reason why you shouldn't get paid.  Try hitting google and doing a search for these kinds of sites.  There are plenty of forums around also devoted to them and people should be able to tell you the good ones.  Good luck.

Answer 5

Okay, I was reading some of your answers and I have a response to some of them.

1. I researched on project payday, and it's a scam.

2. People think all paid survey sites are scams because they don't have enough knowledge and time to sit in front of their computer and learn how to use the site.

3. If the site asks you for a credit card number, that's when you should become alert.

I've been doing surveys for 2 months and earned $50.00 from the two sites that I have spent my time on. I want to make this specific... When you first start off (the first month), you'll want to give up because it isn't really what you expected. BUT don't give up, because there's a great outcome (MONEY!).

If you're still interested, I'll be glad to help if you're ever confused. Contact me at [e-mail]

I made a website on many of the sites that I joined and trust. My site is http://www.mysurveyguide.blogspot.com

GOOD LUCK!
