Are Online Paid Survey Sites Scams?

If you read what the majority of people are saying about online paid survey sites then the answer is yes, but if you know the truth then the answer is mostly no. Read on to find out about the good, the bad and the ugly about online paid survey sites.

The Ugly – There are sites out there that are just looking to get rich by selling you information that you can get for free. These sites typically tell you that they have surveys available that you can't find on your own, but this simply is not true. To get access to these "special" surveys they want you to pay a membership fee, anywhere from $39.95 and up.

I have personally joined over 200 different online survey sites and every one of them was 100% free to join. You should never ever pay to take surveys or to get a list of paying survey sites. It isn't necessary at all when the information you need is freely available. In fact, legitimate market research companies are forbidden by law to make you pay to take their surveys. It would provide a bias and they don't want that and neither do their clients.

Avoid any site that wants you to pay for access to its database of survey companies. If a site is telling you you can make hundreds of dollars a day from online paid surveys keep looking, that one is likely a scam. If it sounds too good to be true it very likely is. You will make money with online paid surveys, but finding them is free and registering for them is free as well.

The Bad – It's not really that bad, but I just want you to know that you won't get rich taking online paid surveys. You can make several hundred dollars a month easily though in your spare time and that's not bad. I'm pretty sure that most of you reading this could use a few extra hundred dollars every month for doing something as easy as taking online paid surveys.

It also requires a small amount of patience and persistence when you begin taking online paid surveys. This may or may not be bad depending on what type of person you are. Typically you will find that there is a minimum amount before you can get paid so you may need to wait a month or so until you can start getting paid from some survey companies. Not really bad, but it does require some persistence and patience.

The Good – Online paid surveys are the easiest and most risk free ways you can use to make money on the internet. Almost all of the free online paid survey sites you'll find are legitimate. They may have minimum payment requirements that take time to meet, however all of the sites I have requested payment from have paid me. Let's face it, many of the online paid survey companies are small parts of offline market research companies. The market research companies will not risk a bad reputation for their business by not honoring their promises, it is illegal and unethical.

As long as you follow these rules you will find that it easy to make money with online paid surveys.

1. Never pay to get a listing of online paid survey sites.

2. Join a variety of sites. Start with 20-30 surveys sites and expand from there as time permits.

3. Be persistent in taking online paid surveys. The more reliable you are the better paying the surveys become.

One of the most intriguing questions concerns the idea of a perpetual traffic machine. Create a website and design a system of automatic programs (both interior and exterior) that delivers content and backlinks to a site that updates itself automatically and keeps growing without any help from the creator. In the process you build a flow of traffic that never stops, even if the site is abandoned or not touched for a couple of years or never again.
