Is there really a such thing as getting paid for survey???
Survey's are not what you think. They require a lot of time, and you won't make what they claim you will. A couple of my friends did a six month test on several different survey sites like Survey Savvy, Harris Poll, Greenfield, Opinion Outpost, Survey Sport, Buzzback, NPD online, Lightspeed Panel, African American, Your2Cents, Project Payday, Inboxdollar, SnapDollars,Send Earnings, Creation, mycoke rewards, E-poll etc. Each did some the same sites and some different sites. Totaling at least 15 - 20 a piece. They're not what people say they are. Yes they are easy to do and you can receive money and prizes, compensating you for your time and effort. So they're not a scam. They're very time consuming though. When you add the time together, It's more time then you think! If you do decide to get into surveying, you better plan on spending 8 to 10 hours a day and make minimum wage. Sometimes you will hit good surveys that will pay you a lot, but what's required to get that is amount, the calculations of the time involved, and what you got paid in these "higher" paying surveys, still only averages out to minimum wage. It's a psychological thing because the time is spread out on these, so it doesn't seem to be as long as it really is. But we did the documentation's and figured the time vs money factor. We found that there was more time with little money to be made.


Here's how the survey's work. You spend approximately 10 to 15 minutes per each site to register and set up a profile to qualify for surveys. (this is non paid). To make anything really work, you need to register for at least 14 different ones, and make sure non are related to each other. Then you'll start receiving emails for surveys. Each survey you have to complete a 15 to 20 minute "pre-qualifying" survey, after you were already told you qualified based on your profile (you don't get paid for this) Then if you do qualify for a survey (which majority of the ones you don't qualify for. so you've wasted this 15 to 20 minutes and sometimes longer of non paid time.) Then if you don't qualify for one, they offer another and you have to do the same thing, and the same thing happens.) You waste approximately 45 minutes to an hour until you finally qualify for a survey. You take a 30 to 45 minute survey and make normally $1 to $3 a survey that they claim takes 15 minutes. Or instead of money, you earn "points" which later on can be exchanged for money or prizes. You have to earn enough points to make $10. That's not including the 15 minute pre qualifying survey, that you had to repeatedly do prior to land this survey. So you've now spent thirty minutes to an hour and made $3 or a few points. And the process between each of the survey sites is the same. So you can pretty much do the math. It averages out to be between $2 to $6 an hour. Sometimes you do come across a survey that will pay you $25 to $75 a survey, BUT there's A LOT more to it then what meets the eye on that as well.


Here's how the larger pay out survey's work. It could be a telephone survey or a Internet survey. You get the pre qualifying part of 10 to 20 minutes then if you qualify for it another 15 to 30 minute survey or a telephone survey about the product your about to try to see if you qualify to try it. Even though you took a 10 to 20 minute "pre qualifying survey" that said you qualify for. When you qualify for it, they send you a product out to try for 7 to 10 days and you do some daily documentation's on it. Depending on what the product is and the documentation's it's usually 5 - 15 minutes each daily documentation. (you got a free product to use around the house, this is a good part of it) after trying the product out you have to complete another survey that takes between 15 to 30 minutes to do. Now you do the calculations on that. You don't get as many of these types of survey's. They use the hype on getting paid $25 to $75 dollars for 15 minute surveys. NOTICE THE PLURAL IN "SURVEYS" What they don't tell you is that there is more then one survey involved in these. Now calculate from your pre-qualifying survey to the next pre-qualifying survey from the company carrying the product, to the trial and documentation's, to the last survey on these products. Then you receive a check four weeks to six weeks later. Do the math, that's less then minimum wage!





Are you wanting to work from home? I'm guessing this is the case for posting this. Unfortunatly online jobs, suveys etc are pretty much a null. The ones that are available your looking at only making minimum waged or less.





If you really want to work from home, I suggest you start your own business your best bet is partner up with a company that direct sales a product. That's what we did. You can create a web site, or have the company set up a web site for you to sale the products and services. Or collaborate with different companies. After you've set it up, you'll have to generate traffic to your site as means of either advertisement (which you'll have to spend a lot of money doing) or the more effective way is word of mouth and referals, which are free and more effective. Partner up with a company that gives you monthly earnings from services that you put people on either by in person, phone or from your web site. What I mean is for instance, my husband partnered up with a telecommunications service provider and all the cellular phone companies. Someone purchase a cell phone from our web site, or a land line or Internet service or whatever, the product it'self your able to provide at a whole sale cost as a distributer through the providers. When someone gets on the services, the company pays you a percentage of that person's billing every single month, month after month for the referal from you by word of mouth or by your web site.Once you decide on a product or products and services, you need to start driving "traffic" to your web site. A lot of work but well worth the effort when your income starts going and rapidly increases. The most effective way I've found is simply word of mouth and referrals. We've had our business for over six years and this has been the most effective way. Loyal customers bring in more customers by the way you treat them, the quality of the items you have and the timely matter of the service you provide.

Reply:Yes, there are such legitimate market research and paid survey companies do pay you (consumer) for your opinion. Those companies/sites are absolutely free to join and get paid, and they will keep your information safe (no spams). I have been using this honest and great site http://www.mysurvey123.com - it has free lists of legit paid survey sites, articles of paid survey guide and advice, and reviews and ratings for various survey sites.
Reply:Just a warning, some people are just ripping you off to help themselves. I have tried atleast 20 survey sites and there have been about 3 really good ones. The very best one is:


http://www.awsurveys.com/homemain.cfm?re...


When you sign up, you have a chance to get 27$ off of surveys right away and the surveys are very short. Now this probably makes you think that it is fake because they are giving you this much money, but the cash out is 75$, and after the 27$ worth of surveys, they only give you like 1 every 1-2 weeks worth 5$. However, you can receive $1.25 for each referal you make to get to the 75$, or you can just wait a few months and get it by surveys. It defintely isn't a scam and I am not ripping you off as this doesn't really help me. If you have questions, or want to know about any other good survey sites, email me at chehabif@greenhill.org. Thanks.

Reply:yes you can get paid for taking surveys but you have to take ALOT of surveys to get paid. the cheapest i found is $30 pay out and you get like $.25 per survey (that is if you qualify). i don't no about not submitting personal information. all surveys ask some pretty personal stuff so they can determine if you qualify to take the survey. i use http://www.inboxdollars.com/?r=dphillips... (yes, lame attempt to get a referal)

*the key is not to just sign up for one site and expect loads of riches, but to sign up for a few and have the smaller checks add up*





*be mindful of the sites you sign up for... check out reviews of the site in yahoo answers before wasting your time*





*if you ever have to pull out a credit card, its not worth it*
Reply:For decades, market research companies have needed to get the opinions of their target market and whilst in the past that meant standing on street corners with a clipboard in hand, now the widespread use of the internet means companies can now use this technology to get the same information. Of course, they need to offer an incentive to ensure a good cross section complete their questions in a short timescale, hence the advent of panels of willing participants.





However, no legitimate market research company will ever ask you for any money, or credit card details, even when they send you products to test. Any site that asks otherwise is either charging you for information freely available elsewhere or are scamming you into thinking you are carrying out market research but are actually just selling something.





If you visit one of the good free online survey directories like http://www.whichsurveys.com you'll find details of hundreds of genuine market research companies, listed by country, with a paragraph or two about each company so that you can see what payment is on offer and whether the research undertaken is likely to be relevant to you personally. I've been using this site for a couple of years and have never found a company that hasn't paid me.





You're not going to earn thousands, simply by answering a few questions about your shopping habits, but $100-$200 a month is easily achievable. You won't however earn that sum from just one company; you'll need to join a large number of panels.





The best directories will also have a collection of articles explaining how the process works and tips on how to make the most of such an opportunity.
Reply:I have tried many “work from home” systems and all have failed! However I just got in to a system a few months back and it is the best thing ever!! I work just a few hours a day and I bring in LOADS of cash. It’s not that hard do but with anything the more time you put into it the more you will get out. Best of all there’s no selling, no products!! Shoot me an email if you want more information I will be happy to tell you about it!
