Make Money From Paid Surveys Online

I fell into the online survey trap. Most of the online surveys are scams. All they want you to do is buy. You end up with a lot of spam. The ones that are really surveys, don't pay hardly anything or give you points towards merchandise.
The ones that do pay I hardly qualified to take their surveys.

I fell into that trap to a couple of years ago too, basically people get paid to refer you to pay for paid surveys. The thing is, if you have to pay to get paid for the so called lists it's a scam, your doing them a favor so why should you pay them? In the faq's they tell you it's to make up for all the time it takes to make the lists of the highest paying surveys, its just that I tried duplicating those lists with a few clever google searches and it didn't take me long. Also, when your working for the man, does he ask you to pay him money to find work for you to do or for the work involved in writing your pay-check? Of course not! That's why the business model of paid-paid surveys is basically built on air, it has no real substance. In addition you need to qualify and meet the requirements of all the surveys and at the end of the day there won't be many for you! It will take you ages and ages to even make back what you put in. In reality people making money from these paid surveys do so by referring others and getting paid a referral fee. I joined a legitimate free one of these services a year ago and so far I made only 15 dollars from it. I'm sure you could make more but, There are better ways, believe me! Xomba for example

I agree that online surveys are just scams. Fell into the trap too and ended up with lots and lots of spam. However I did get $5 once. But it was just too much trouble to figure out which were real. Also got tired of answering the questions. Some of them were long.

I too went through the scam. Paid good money and got a bunch of trash. I turned around though and did my own research and developed a list of about 70 firms throughout the country who do actually pay. I emailed and in some cases called those companes to see if they did pay. I don't charge for this list and stared posting some of the names of those companies here on Xomba. I posted a couple of articles on my experience but didn't seem to get any response so I quit posting this type. If anyone is interested I will start posting them again. I did make money from my list, in fact yesterday I got a call from a company that wanted me to participate in a phone and website survey that would take about 60 minutes and they were paying $100. Unfortunately I did not meet the criteria they were looking for.

Anyway, here is a link to the first of 2 articles I posted here on xomba:

Let me know if you are interested in me posting more contacts.

Understand this, you will not make a replacement income doing this. In fact many companies will not use you more than 2 times a year. However, a few dollars extra a month will definitely help towards a tank of gas.

Good luck. I hope to hear from you.

There is a lot of hype about paid surveys to be sure. I wouldn't go as far as to call it a scam. There are a few legitimate companies that can earn you a few bucks every month. The only two Global test Market and Pine Cone Research are the only two companies for which I still fill out surveys. Hey, if you make enough to pay for your internet connection every month, then I guess it's worth the time.

Like somebody already pointed out, you can't qualify for every survey that comes your way. If a company is telling you can make hundreds a week doing this, stay away from them.

Not all of them are but most that I have signed up for are scams, in my opinion. I take surveys with PineCone Research and Global Test Marketing. Those are the best ones. I usually get qualified for most of the surveys. Greenfield online surveys I hardly every qualify for their surveys, especially the ones that pay cash.

There are ones like Panda Research and Vindale Research in my opinion are not really research websites at all. They pay you money to sign up for the products and services they offer.

I see their ads all over the job search websites, make money from home by taking online surveys, even in the state employment commission job searches. If wasn't someone who didn't know the real deal. I would be real mad to find out it is not a real job at all. That I was just wasting my time.
