Are there any authentic websites that pay you to do surveys? And on some sites why do u gotta pay to start???

Answer 1

Stay far away from any sites that require you to pay upfront, they are just scams. If you want to get paid to take surveys online, the best site I have found is http://globaltestmarket.com

Answer 2

I tried one of those paid surveys sites and had no luck. Every time I was in the middle of the survey it would end and tell me I did not qualify to finish it.

As far as paying for surveys I would advise against it. Anybody that is asking you for money to work is a scam. They are just affiliates of the site that get a cut from that money when you sign up with the service.

If you are looking to make money on-line I would stay away from paid surveys, paid to surf, paid to read e-mails, and other opportunities that claim outrageous income figures.

The good news is their are a couple of reputable companies on-line that have been around for a long time and are members of the BBB (Better Business Bureau). Their is no get rich quick but you can get rich slow and build lifelong residual income with some of these companies.

I've listed some of the sites I have taken surveys through and actually been paid (or recieved other rewards like gift cards or CDS) on the following, if you are interested:

I list how they pay you, what I like and dislike about them, whether they have an affiliate or referral program, etc.

There are others out there. Be careful though, there are also scams. Don't sign up for any survey site which asks you to pay to access the surveys. The sites they list you can generally find and sign up for free elsewhere, from what I've heard. Also watch for language like "get paid for taking surveys AND SIGNING UP FOR OFFERS" if you don't want to have to sign up for stuff with other companies to get paid.

Always carefully read their terms of service and privacy policy. If in their privacy policy they say they only use aggregated info, this is GOOD SIGN they are legit. Aggregated info information that is grouped together so it can't be connected with anyones personal identification like name, e-mail, phone or address. That's what survey sites SHOULD collect. Watch out for sites that say they give, rent, or sell any personal information (info that is not agregated) to third parties.

Also just recently came across a good survey ratings site that I've found very helpful:
