I do not doubt that there is some money to be made, I doubt it is a lot of money. Many of the companies below give chances in drawings for completed surveys. Any one know how often they draw for the $10,000 prize? I thought so, even the site can't tell me when the next drawing is.\nwww.harrispollonline.com Online polling for reward points\nhttp://www.greenfieldonline.com/ Online survey http://www.gozingsurveys.com/\nhttp://www.mysurvey.com/ Online survey to earn points and entries into drawings, $10,000 few times per year, do they really give away the money?\nhttp://www1.pineconeresearch.com/ Product surveys from home once or twice per month $5 each\nhttp://www.surveysavvy.com/ Online survey referral based payment, friend $2 friends friend $1\nhttp://www.npdor.com/default.asp Surveys for drawing entries $1000\nhttp://www.mypoints.com/ Surveys of shopping online and e-mails (doubtful) here are a few more:\nhttp://www.testspin.com \nhttp://www.shoppersvoice.com \nhttp://www.survey.com \nhttp://www.millerwilliams.com \nhttp://www.epoll.com \nhttp://www.vividence.com \nhttp://www.mysurvey.com \nhttp://www.focusline.com \nhttp://www.discoverwhy.com \nhttp://www.kidzeyes.com (for kids)  \nhttp://www.usapanel.com \nhttp://www.studyresponse.com \nhttp://www.advisorypanel.com \nhttp://www.brandinstitute.com \nhttp://www.2020research.com \nhttp://www.efocus.com \nhttp://www.consumeropinionpanel.com \nhttp://www.onlineval.com \nhttp://researchconnections.com \nhttp://restaurantpoll.co\nhttp://www.viewpointforum.com \nhttp://www.e-focusgroups.com \nhttp://www.surveysite.com

Hypocrisy isn't the right word. As long as they have permission to use those articles, it's okay, especially if they have other articles there that people would be interested in and would help people find what they are looking for. The sites that annoy me are those that just mirror Wikipedia content but with tons of ads all over the place. I always make sure to go straight to the source for those.

I was in the same spot but I accidentally came across a site that gives you a list of all surveys and focus groups that are real and also has a blacklist of all the fakes and frauds.  It also has surveys by countries.  This site is really great, I have been paid doing a 'focus group' because I am not in a country where they do paid surveys.  Also a lot of 'paid survey' sites want you to pay for there list when you can actually get it free! \nTry this site\n\nhttp://www.amylynn.org/home\n\n\nThere also have a list of virtual jobs as well.\n\nThis group likes to expose all the scammers out there so good luck!

hey everyone has different reasons for visiting an posting in this site. i think its pretty cool and i am amazed at what people say. i admit its funny and sometimes very stupid questions.i only feel sorry for people who are on line 24/7. its good to be on line you also need t be around people. that's just horrible!! anyways this site is pretty interesting. sometimes there's questions you cant actually stand up and ask.  so you can feel comfortable. or whatever reason. as for my stupid questions...I'm surprised how many people are actually supportive and informing me with there intelligent information. as for sellfesteem , confidence, accepting who you are, most of all listening to your own advise. dont always rely on other people. no one knows you better than ure self. iight hun... good question. good luck

I've seen some excellent free professional advice on here, and some outrageously wrong answers.  One should have the sense to get confirmations for serious matters. \n\nI don't think Answers needs a disclaimer.

There are more reliable sources to get answers to questions. This site is good for getting an idea about what people in general think or believe. Everything one reads on this site and other similar sites should be taken with a grain of salt.

I smell a rat. If you are so succesful then why are you advertising on this forum for free?!?!?\n\nHow much does someone have to invest?!? Where's the hard facts instead of the nicey nicey invites?!?!\n\nPeople deserve more up front. Instead of people like you getting people to attend under duress and then you hit them with the 'hard sale'.\n\nStop preying on the impressionable. \n\nAnd if I'm wrong, why not add an internet link to your companys site so we can all see how good an opportunity this is

I was intrigued by your question and wanted to further investigate this web site.  My first impression of the website was that it looked like it had been put together by a team of Jr. high web class students.  The web site looked extemely un-proffesional and looked like it had been put together with out much thought.  First red flag, Any company with enough money to pay employees hundreds to thousands of dollars for a few hours of work, could deffinatly hire a proffesional web desinger to create a decent home page.  Did you notice a lack of out side links The only link i found that took you any where was one that took you to "consumer reporter.org.  I must admit by this time i thought well if they have a major consumer reporting company endorsing their company maybe they are the real deal.  I guess i wasn't too surprised to find that "consumerreporter.org" was obviously a site made by these guys to make their company look good.  The same crapy designs, the same poor acting testimonials, cheesy lines, poor images (the icons they have aren't even links, shouldn't those take you somewhere?  or maybe they just didn't want their page to look plain), I also thought that it was interesting that the only product this supposed company has ever done a consumer report on is Itidata.  you couldn't see any other reports on their page!!!  Sounds like a scam to me.  Interested in some of the icons i found on their web site (the ones that dont take you any where i decided to investigate and find out what those sites where, I was surprized to find out that they were real legit sites.  I did a search to see what they said about this web site and almost fell off my seat laughing when i saw what they themselves had led me to.  Here is a letter from a lady who was unsatisfied with this company, you can find this letter on your own by going to www.complaints.com and typing in ITIdata in the search field, well here it is:\n\nMarch 2, 2006 \n\nHello,\nMy name is Mira and I would sincerely appreciate it if you could help me out. Please take the time to read this and find an honest solution. I purchased the itidata training manual after visiting the site consumerreporter.org and the www.itidata.org site. After downloading the manual and reading it very carefully, I realize that the information promised does not appear to be anywhere. The instructions for settting up a clickbank account are there and the link to the clickbank website is there but, no links to the the names of the companies listed on the itidata website. After attempting to follow the directions and sign up with these sites I realize that they ask for a website on which you can place their ads by cutting and pasting their links or they ask you to sign up with other sites by purchaing advertising tools and space. I would like to point out that the manual strictly says you dont need your own website for this and it also says you don't have to be an expert at using the internet and it also says that no extra costs would be incurred. But going to these sites I see just that. I searched for a member area on the site and called their 713-866-6212 number but found no help as promised to their members...they say to call from 9-5 central time and I called 5-6 times between those hours but got \nonly a recording. There is no response to my email which they say they would reply to in 24 hours.\nI don't know what to do anymore. I have studied the manual 5-6 times but this is all that it says.\nI can only pray that I have not been scammed. The truth is I am a part time student with a minimum salary and new to the country. I don't have money to throw away especially this kind. I need to become financially independent and am not looking to earn obscene amounts of cash. But I would love to have \na legit and regular way of doing this. I would like to get started ASAP on this and I request you to help me. I have full faith that as a consumer protection org y

they are a waste of time and effort, i havent seen ones that are scams the ONLY online survey company that isnt a scam is owned by Johnson&Johnson, its called Tremor. They dont give cash, but they give away free stuff. In the years Ive participated been given free car wash kit, free ticks to a concert, 12 free quatro razors, a tshirt, etc, but no green

Yes. This is why I signed up and love the site. It gives me a chance to share what i know, and get answers to stuff I don't. The points thing is just fun. I love it when my answers get picked as the best, because it tells me that i give some good advice at times. It makes me feel good to brighten/help someone's day. I tried to thank folks for choosing me, but not everyone has their e-mails posted, so I stopped, but the thank u's are in my heart. Well, i'll get off my soap box now, and encourage u to keep asking, answering, and rating questions to the best of ur ability no matter what someone u don't even know thinks or says!

It might be, but a lot of those kind of schemes, you have to pay the $10 or whatever (usually there are lots of hidden fees, one time registration costs, etc) before you find out what the whole thing is really about.  Anyone with any common sense and wisdom would not subscribe to such a thing without having all the information up front, without paying to find out what it's about.\n\nAnything that charges up front before you even know in detail what is expected, is, to me, a scam, and I haven't seen any internet money making schemes that don't do just that.\n\nIs yours any different?  Doesn't sound like it.\nYou make money on the people who sign up,. and thats about the extent of hte money making going on.

I usually go to this forum called www.whydowork.com\nThey have got some good recommendations and most importantly, verified and are not scam sites. But to learn more about the pay per click programs you can check out http://www.wanginternet.com for some good resources.

Hi Mr. I Know Everything. OPINIONS. You cannot really get contempory opinions from google. The variable of peoples opinions at any particular moment in time is offered here, you are not likely to get 20 pages of irrelevant links before you get a good one here and there is that element of human contact which is not offered by google.\nI hope that helps!

most sites like those aren't real. you mostly have to pay a certain amount of money and then they "tell" you how to make money, but it's definitely not as easy as they make it sound!
