Do paying surveys work?

i was looking into doing surverys where they pay you to make some extra money but do they really work or is it just a scam? if they work, can anyone recommend a good site for me? thanks!

Do paying surveys work?
brings in a small cash reward now and then, but not in proportion to the time wasted. It's annoying when I get rejected for a survey because of age group, sex, or whether I have kids.





If you actually enjoy answering the questions I guess its worth it.
Reply:ask yourself this: Does the ad promise big





money for little effort? Fraudulent ads use





similar bait: Fast cash. Minimal work. No risk.





And the advantage of being your own boss or





working from home.
Reply:I take surveys from "Lightspeed", Harris, Nielsen, JD Powers, Synovate, and a couple others that are legitimate. They usually pay $1-2 so you won't get rich. Also there is a pre-screening to determine if you are in the demographic they are interested in. Age, income, number/age of children, use of technology, zip code, and so forth. Sometimes they will send you a check, (I think it is kind of stupid to pay 41c to send a $1.00 check), or make a deposit in a Pay Pal account. Some only give points you can accumulate for merchandise. But I'm opinionated, and sometimes you can learn about new products that interest you.
Reply:There is a paid survey company called surveyadventure that I work with which has the high commisions per survey you finish. I earn atleast $250 spending just 20 min per day. You can sign up for free with the%26lt;!--survey company i have below, and you will be paid as soon as you finishes their survey.

They paid me in time everytime. The happyiest thing is that the registration is FREE. You just sign up and fill the form and start taking surveys. Try it, there is--%26gt;nothing to lose, its FREE to register and NO INVESTMENT. Registration will take only 3 mins. Just see how much you are going to earn in a few days. Am sure you can earn more than $250 in a week. All the best.
Reply:I do not know trying to figure this myself. Most seem to want you to subscribe or buy something, I'm not ready to try it yet.
Reply:Some survey send you cash ( a whole $1.00) I normally take the cash and throw the paper away. It's a waste of time.





Survey on line is a joke. It takes you to 10 different websites and wastes your time. It's not worth it.
Reply:Not REALLY.


You usually get paid in points which yuo can redeem for dumb products.


You can also get NO PAY and be entered into drawings for prizes.


You have to pay something to buy or try something before they pay you back and it's never 100% - so your loss.


You can try it, but I belong to about 10 different sites and it really doesn't PAY ~ and there are always problems ! Which I dont' need. It is really a big waste of time.
Reply:Most survey sites are more or less website listings that pay you to fill in your contact details or participate in online offers. You can actually earn some pretty decent money on some of these sites.





What i'll usually do is find all the sites that pay a sign-up bonus and then just sign up with them all. Typically the bonuses will range from $3-$10 just for registering with the company. if you register with 10 different companies a day you can make $30-$50 a day just signing up. You will probably have to complete a few of their offers once you signed up...so you can reach their minimum payout... but thats usually pretty easy most of the time.





I like to use websites that have listings of all the different survey companies bonuses and then i'll just find survey companies that have the best sign-up bonuses and then sign with them.





There are 1000's of these companies available on the internet. I've probably earned about $300+ in the last month or so doing this. And new ones are constantly coming out each day.
Reply:Some sites do and some sites don't. I've received payments from SurveySpot.com and MySurvey.com, but not really enough to justify the time investment (at this point I still do it because it's kinda fun and when I get a $5 check in the mail, it makes me happy).
