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.

An online fraud detection company revealed following facts regarding Paid Surveys :

Sites Reviewed : 268
Legitimate : 13
Scams : 248 ( 92% )
Neutral : 7

Are people making money with paid surveys?

You will be disappointed if you are expecting a lot of money by just feeling up surveys. However if you want an additional couple hundreds in your pocket each month, then certainly online surveys are for you.

As time goes by, and you sign up with more and more survey companies while dedicating a few hours each day to taking surveys, it is possible to make 1000 or more a month.

If you are interested in signing with a paid survey database, make sure you choose one of the 3 legitimate surveys companies listed below; otherwise you risk being scammed by fake survey sites.

Top 3 Paid Surveys Companies: (out of 13 Legitimate sites found)

1. http://urlcut.com/surveyscout - Offers a $25 Instant Survey

2. http://expresspaidsurveys.notlong.com - More surveys but more expensive to join.

3. http://paidsurveysonline.notlong.com - Ideal for beginners

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:

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).

But watch out--there are also scams out there. Here are some tips to avoid them:

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. And never give your credit card info--there is no good reason a legitimate free site would need it.

Here are two other sites which are very helpful

I've also tried the envelope stuffing at home when I was a teen (a while ago) and it is a scam. You are expected to not only stuff them but come up with the addresses of people to send their ads to.

They're legit. You should join the two sites that I have listed on my Yahoo 360 page to make money online. There are no upfront costs, and the sites are legit. I have received many checks from them before. You earn money by completing surveys, and trying free trials, suck as Netflix. Get a few friends to sign up as you referrals and you can earn even more, plus a $1 bonus on one of the sites. I've made as much as $75 a day! If you’re not sure about joining, here is some proof of members' earnings: http://forum.treasuretrooper.com/index.php?showtopic=17509&st=580 Try it out!

I have found several legitimate work at home sites so far, and I made $1,300+ so far this month and over $850 last month. They are free to join.


Please click my screen name or avatar for more information and a link for proof of payment.


And by the way--never join a work at home program that wants you to pay up front. If they were making that much money, they wouldn't need to charge you.

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!

I tried them but they aren't consistant enough to rely on each month. It's evident you are looking for a way to earn extra income from home. Check this business out and watch some of the videos

A very good way of doing online business is information marketing.
