Not that there's anything wrong with wanting to earn pocket money by doing very little work. That's what focus groups and online survey sites are for. I've never attended a focus group myself (I plan to), but they seem pretty legit. However, a lot of survey sites don't always stick to the nice little words that drew you into signing up for them. Some only send survey invites once a month that are worth a few measly points. It could take years to benefit from one of those companies. Others don't pay you at all or take their sweet…time to send your money. Does it really take eight weeks to write out a check? I doubt it.
When I signed up for SurveySpot earlier this year, I figured I had nothing to lose. It was free to register, and I could cancel at anytime, so what the heck. I had no idea how incredibly beneficial this survey site could be. Within two months, I had $100, and I got it in only two weeks. Ecstasy ran through my veins.
SurveySpot works just like any other survey site. You sign up, and they send you survey invitations that match your demographics. Unlike most other sites, however, SurveySpot sends you invitations at least twice a week, and half of them pay $2-20 apiece. That's almost as sweet as Blue Bell Rocky Road ice cream. You can also sign in to the website and check other surveys available (these are updated constantly). Even if you don't qualify to complete a survey, they still enter you into a sweepstakes drawing. I've never known anyone who actually won a sweepstakes, but sometimes making money means being a little optimistic.
Let's say you signed up for Spotty and completed a paid survey (there is usually a page at the end of the survey that tells you if you qualified to receive payment). The survey terms indicate that it takes between two and six weeks for your account to be credited. It usually only takes (at most) three weeks for my payments to be added. They even list all of the paid surveys you've taken plus all the payments that have been made to you. Keep reading; this gets better. SurveySpot only requires you to have at least $5 credited to your account to request a check. You could request your money as soon as it reaches minimum payout and have gas or cigarette money for the week, but I like to horde my savings for a rainy day.
Check it out, sign up, and let me know how Spotty is treating you.

Post a Commenthttp://www.freeprizesite.com/?ref=13348 Ok so I was skeptical about the places that let you fill stuff out and get free stuff. I stayed away from it I thought it was junk. But today I finally dicided to try it. Just go on there make an account fill a few things out....No spyware No Adware No Malware No nothing! I was so suprised I thought it wasn't real but it was and it worked wonderfully. In just one week you can get $90 just get on every day for about thirty minutes.They have anything you could want: Gift Cards: Olive Garden, Walmart, Targe and free clothes from your favorite retailers AE, Macy's, its all there. And for gamers Monthly game codes for wii, xbox, and about any MMO you can think of. they have so much. also have direct cash or even prepaid gas cards. I couldnt believe this is real. So just letting you know if your skeptical, thats understandable. But this is real and worth it and it pays off. I hope this helps contribute to all the gamers out there and anyone else who e
Survey Spot is a scam. I've been filling out surveys for them for months and have yet to see $1.
Sorry the text limit cut off my last post.
The legitimate surveys pay at least $40 per hour, not the few dollars for a 20 min survey that you get from surveyspot.
I have been doing these surveys for a while now, and have a mixed review. The main problem with most of these survey sites is the fact they pay you much lower than the equivalent of minimum wage. Most of the surveys I have received from survey spot only enter you into a drawing and don't pay anything, almost all others pay you a dollar or two for a 15 - 20 min survey, which when you do the math comes out to 3-8 dollars per hour - hardly worth it. Most of the surveys I have taken go almost to the end of the survey only to tell me that I don't qualify - how convenient, after they have already gotten their answers, they then don't have to pay me. I have however, received a couple legitimate ones where I have earned 5 dollars for fifteen minutes, however, even then the money isn't put into my account for 4-6 weeks. If you are really interested in doing these surveys, find a legitimate company where you have to go to a physical location, I have done those as well and they end up paying at l
I used to think SurveySpot was just another scam because they sent SO MANY emails, but once I clicked on the emails and checked it all out I realized just how awesome it really is!
I have just recently joined survey spot so I am new to this group. How do you get paid surveys? All I have received are sweepstakes entries. If any one can answer this, please email me at toby@goeaston.net. I would appreciate your imput. Thanks so much.
It is getting better every month. they garentee to paid a week...i now get 2 paid a DAY. and even the ones you do not qualify for are posted on surveyspot and you can click and try to qualify anyway. I've made $10 going to one that wasn't e-mailed to me in like 10 or less minutes (i WAS lucky..but still) survey spot is my fav. for sure. i wish there was more like it. If every survey site worked this way i'd do 10 and actually make decent money.
I am currently a member of surveyspot. I agree with you totally on this being the best survey site ever!! I have been a member for many months and have made almost two hundred dollars off this site!!!! I love how they have surveys on their page that you can take at your leisure. Many other sites make you wait for an invitation. Great article, A++

I'm a member of SurveySpot right now. I have been credited for one survey so far. I have supposedly earned at least three more, though. It has only been about three weeks since I took those last three or so. I guess I just have to wait longer than you do. I prefer survey sites that let you accumulate points. NFO's MySurvey.com is a good one. I have only been a member for about three months, but I have already qualified for a $10 check. Maybe you fit more common demographics than some of us do. Not all of us are white, middle-class, and 21-30 years old. It might sound wrong, but believe me, those of us on the other end know that it's true.
