The thought of how easy it is to earn money through simple surveys seem tempting, but do they really work? If so, where? I don't believe in having to pay for a program in order to start earning money. Comments?

Not for free... I have been doing on line surveys for several years and never got anything (nor met anyone who has..). I do it just because I like to do surveys.
Some of them say that you will be in sweepstakes, others ask you for personal information to give you money (I skip those... Iprefer to 'loose' money than being a victim of identity theft).

You can earn money from doing surveys--not a ton...maybe enough to go out for pizza once a month. Most sites pay $0.50 - $15 per survey (usually under $5). I've listed some of the sites I have taken surveys through and actually been paid (or received other rewards like gift cards or CD'S) on the following site:
http://www.windhavenweb.com/surveys
I list how they pay you, what I like and dislike about them, whether they have an affiliate or referral program, etc. (And yes, if I say they have an affiliate program, I'm part of it, and make a commission when someone signs up through that link...I like to be up front about that).
As you're searching, here are some tips to avoid scams. Don't sign up for any survey site which asks you to pay to access the surveys. 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. Avoid sites that say they give, rent, or sell any personal information (info that is not aggregated) to third parties (unless you really don't mind getting junk mail, telemarketing calls, and spam).
Also, never sign up for a survey through an unsolicited e-mail--since these might not even be from the site they claim to be, but could be a phishing scheme to get your information and mis-use it.
Here are two other sites which are very helpful

Hi! I am a single mom of 2 girls. My youngest is disabled so I work from home. You can make extra money doing surveys (I only recommend 2 companies), writing, completing offers, and reading ads. There are so many different ways, but you do have to know which programs are legit or you waste a lot of time. I put all the legit ones on my blogs to help others out. You can check them out buy clicking on my profile. I hope this helps! Alicia

Having so many paid surveys available all the time lets you live the kind of life you want.
I travel with my family 3 or 4 months every year! While I'm on vacation, I love to take paid surveys while relaxing on the beach. I can pay for my entire stay in just a few hours of taking surveys!
REAL Paid Online Surveys...

Surveys pay out, but if you're looking to make a couple hundred dollars a month, not just a couple of dollars a month, you're looking in the wrong place. You can invest the SAME amount of time and make at least TRIPLE the amount of money.
I was pretty happy when I discovered the following two sites. Check em out... they're free and if you're sitting in front of a computer for a few hours a day then they should work out for you too. http://www.*************/index.php?ref=157766 and http://www.mylot.com/?ref=erin77
Here's one that may or may not pay out in the end, but if only takes about 5 min to sign up so I figured it was worth a shot. http://www.agloco.com/r/BBBM4707

Some do, some don't.
The following website gives you money(and signup is 100% free) for completing free offers, credit card offers, and some offers you have to pay for. I only do free offers though, you don't have to do offers that you pay for, it's only optional. I love doing the daily survey(in addition to the free offers) because you get 75 cents for each time you complete one. Once all of your money you earn adds up to $20.00, you receive a $20.00 check in the mail with your name on it! Check it out: http://www.treasuretrooper.com/201266

Yes, they do pay. To check if they really do pay, try to find sites that show checks of the payment. Also you can check sites to see if a survey site is reliable. CashCrate is a good site to fill out surveys for money, http://www.*************/index.php?ref=148713

Here's proof that they actually pay http://www.*************/forums/showthread.php?t=22&page=24
