Has anyone ever completed surveys online in order to make extra cash?

Question

If you have, did you have any bad experiences doing this? Or would you recommend it to someone just wanting to make some extra cash?

Answer 1

They require your time for nothing. It makes no financial sense and is a joke. For someone to earn 35 bucks, it can take up to a month of waisted time.

Answer 2

Usually they charge you somewhere in the $40 US range to send you a list of companies you can do surveys for. Almost none of them pay you cash for your time, most offer points towards crap you can never use. You have to fill out a profile with each individual company, then when the surveys come in, most of the time they say you do not meet the requirements they are looking for with this survey. You cannot earn a living at it, and I don't believe you can even supplement your income or earn any extra cash. I think it's a ridiculous way for them to legally steal your hard-earned money.

If you are serious about earning extra cash, you should consider a home business. I have one that cost $35 to join, plus one case of product. That one case of product was the best purchase I ever made in my life because of what it did for my health.
I just tell people my story of what it did for me and my family, and they order it because they know I am sincere about this. My business grows absolutely every day and I have full training, tools and a free website to go with it.

There are many resources out there but I think this blog has a very good collection of ways to make money online.

Answer 5

I made a little money but not a lot. I made more than I paid to sign up. I didn't work at it very hard. You have to weed through the stuff that is a waste of time. Some people make nothing some make a lot. Here is a couple of the leading places. http://ews44.paidetc.hop.clickbank.net/

Answer 6

I've only had one bad experience: I signed up with Panda Research, and they don't really want you to take surveys, they want you to sign up for offers (and take a little survey about the offer). You pay for some of those offers, so it's really a rip-off.

I've had good experiences with the other survey sites I've taken part in, though. If you are looking for a LITTLE exta spending money (don't believe anyone who tells you you can make an income off of this), and if you like giving your oppinion on stuff, I would definatley recommend doing this.

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.
