Paid for surveys?

Question

I hear about it all the time where you can get paid online for answering surveys, but they always end up being some kind of scam. Are there any legit survey sites where you register without giving them a debit/credit card number or an account number? I wouldn't mind doing something with paypal I guess, but I would really rather receive a check in the mail. If you have a good site for this, please share your experience. How much can I reasonably expect if I can dedicate four hours or more a day to it?

My issue is that I work a great job with a lot of goof off time, but because I'd like to take a vacation come winter, I'd like to generate some disposable income for it. Any tips? U.S. only please.

Answer 1

The rule, as always, is to stay away from those that ask you to pay before you can get these surveys.

Legitimate market survey companies such as Pinecone Research recruit members based on demographic characteristics -- e.g. mothers of babies 0-12 years old -- and will send surveys of products and services targeting this demographic group. Pinecone Research, however, pays only $5 per survey -- you're definitely not going to be rich with that. They can give you anywhere from 1-5 at most surveys in a month.

Other companies simply ask you to answer as many research as possible, and you don't earn anything just the chance to win at a raffle (which I find lame).

I've listed most 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 webpage--none of them require a credit card, and I list the reward method (whether pay-pal, cash by check, or other rewards):

I only make about $20 a month taking surveys (I miss some because some don't work with my Browser..so I might be able to make maybe $10 or $20 more than that if I was using Explorer...but even then I just don't qualify for more than that). So, though it may be a good use of your spare time...it may not generate as much disposable income as you are hoping.

I have been making money on internet for 4 years and I was personally scammed by a good many making money methods.Finally,I found the most legitimate, effective and fast way for beginner to make money is doing paid surveys if you have a computer with Internet access and can sit at your computer for 1.5-3 hours per day.

But before joining a paid survey network, you should be sure that the paid survey company satisfies the following minimum requirements:
1. In business for at least 1 year.
2. Well organized, easy to navigate directories.
3. Directories updated at least weekly.
4. Helpful resources available for newcomers.
5. No "waiting period". Eligible immediately..
And more,more....

I understand it is difficult for a new online money maker to judge whether a paid survey site is good or not.So I found a survey club to help beginner make money on internet.You can visit http://www.**************** to find how to earn money easily and legally.Hope that help you.

Answer 8

i've been a member of both of those sites for a while now and i can say that they are legit and you don't have to pay anything to sign up. all you do is take surveys and/or sign up for free trials. it's really easy and i just do it when i'm sitting at home being bored (i'm taking surveys about a total of 1-2 hours a day on average) and i make about $80 a month from each of those sites...sometimes a little more, depending on how much time i spend on it...so i make almost $200 extra dollars a month. theres people that make more, like i said, it just depends on how much time you spend on there. good luck!
