Question

What is an on line survey exactly? Convenience or inconvenience?

Answer 1

Neither. It's a scam. Most online surveys take your money or your personal information or both, and potentially load up your computer with adware and spyware.

If you make any money at all from them, you'll find you're only earning pennies per hour. Many of them don't pay in actual money at all, but only in useless "credits".

Answer 2

Neither, if you mean paid surveys, they are scams, but the surveys on some of my known, trusted, sites, I'll answer, but they are more just for fun polls.

I use to take surveys for a company that wasn't a scam, but I moved and lost my old email, so I can't remember what the survey company was, they would send me stuff in the mail to check out, ect.. then pay me via paypal, not much though, usually $1-$5 each.

I did get a copy of entourage to check out, still have it, it's the first episode, and it's cool, because some of the characters were changed, some of the actors, ect....
