Money Can Be Made on the Internet: But Not with Surveys
It is posted all over the Internet, get paid $15 to $50 dollars for your opinion. Earn $1000's of dollars a week for completing online surveys! I have joined 50+ of these survey companies and have not, to this day, earned 1 red cent.
The majority of these companies require you to complete offers from partner sites, to try their services or products, for a fee, using your credit card. Then, they in turn pay you for trying this service or product. I joined these survey sites to make money, not spend it!
You can participate in their free offers and you may make $15 or $20 dollars but once you complete all the free offers they have, that is it. No new offers. You must have accrued a certain amount of money in your account with the survey company before you may request payment. However, any amount that you may make with the free offers will not add up to that set amount.
You may, on occasion, get a paid survey in your email in box, but the pay out for completion is not $15 or more. It is usually .50 - $2 or an entry into their latest sweep stake. But before you can complete said survey you must first qualify. You are asked several questions that will take from 5 to 10 minutes to answer, only to find out that you do not fit their criteria.
Another service that a lot of these survey companies offer you to participate in are paid emails. You will receive approximately 3 or 4 emails per day and you are compensated .01 for each email that you read. However, you usually have to complete the offer that is in the email before receiving your .01 credit.
I cannot in all honesty say that ALL paid survey sites are scams and rip-offs. But from my experience in the past 2 years, I have yet to find one that will actually pay you for the time that you invest. The only thing that you accomplish, is to help the survey company line their pocket with the cash you, are seeking to earn.

Post a CommentThanks for this.Please, are there no survey sites that do not request for credit card at all or any payment whatsoever before taking surveys?
I never had any luck with these either. Thanks for sharing.
For the most part, your article is correct.
There is one great survey place where I have made a little money.
You only make $3 a survey, but they pay typically by the next day through your Paypal.
And sometimes you are chosen to test a particular product. So, you would get $3 for doing the survey, and if picked, you will be sent the product to test for free. Then you do a survey later to talk about the product and get another $3 for this. Later on you will be sent a box to send the package to the tested product back to the company, this costs you nothing. Once you send the product back, you will get another $3 for returning. This is the best one, I've found yet.
It's called Pine Cone Research, but they only have certain times when you can join.
I wondered about this stuff? Thanks for the input!
