Internet Surveys


Question Posted Wednesday April 22 2009, 11:41 pm

I've been reading ads about getting paid to do internet surveys. Is this for real? It feels so badly like a scam, can somebody explain to me what these paid internet surveys are? Where should I go if I want to be safe?

Honestly, I use [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) and it's not a scam. About once every week and a half I get an e-mail saying there's a survey to do, where I get anywhere between $1.50 and $5.00. When you get up to $20, they mail you a check. In my experience, it's been totally legitimate and you don't need to pay a dime. You don't really make that much money with it-- maybe $20 every two months-- but it can add up fairly quickly.

I can't vouch for any of the other ones, but be cautious.

Internet surveys are a scam. They do not pay you. They make you put all your information in like e-mail & name, so that they can spam you & send you tons of junk mail.

Do not apply for them because it's a waste of time and it fills your e-mail inbox with a bunch of useless shit.

As far as SAFE internet surveys...I've never heard of any.

Honestly, I do not know much about this information in depth. However, I do know that most of these sites are scams, but there are quite a few that are real -- you get paid very little for those ads and probably aren't even worth it, in my opinion.

They pay you only a small amount. You get paid less than $1 per survey, and surveys often take more than an hour to complete.

CashCrate is a directory of legitimate "Get paid to ____" sites:
[Link](Mouse over link to see full location) (referral)
Use the "Show only 100% free offers" feature and use a throwaway email address because most of these sites will send you tons of spam (though CashCrate itself will not). CashCrate also pays to you sign up for these sites, so you maximize your earnings.
