I answer surveys for a company called Pinecone Research.  Pinecone pays $5 per survey taken.  They send you a $5 check in the mail.  They did not charge me to join.\n\nIf any company wants to charge you to take their surveys, I strongly suggest looking up reviews of the company and going to the bbb.org (Better Business Bureau) website to find out if they are, in fact, legit.

I signed up for several 'survey' sites that promised to pay for your answers. I can't speak for all of them, but the ones that I signed up with only sent me unwanted emails, unwanted phone calls from telemarketers and only 'paid' me by sending me to other websites. I have not received a cent from any of them, and I've had to get on the "Do Not Call" list. I can ony hope things will turn out better for you.

I've gotten paid to do surveys and focus groups but it's rarely more than a few bucks a pop.  I don't qualify for every study (they want certain demographics) so this kind of thing is more for fun-money than real income.  It wouldn't be considered "work" - just something to do for fun and a little spend.

www.mysurvey.com you have to earn enough points to get paid, but it is legitimate.

It is legitimate business. I do alot of paid surveys, and I do actually get paid. But, you don't always make $75.00 a survey, in fact, it's usually small amounts like anywhere between $2 to $30.00. The biggest check I ever recieved was for $50.00.

Well any company that asks for money for the privilege of working for them, raises some serious fraudulent questions to me. \n\nJust saw their site..i would advise NOT to do it. Their site isn't very well done really either.

Most of the survey companies pay by check. But if you get accepted into their panel, check if they're willing to pay by Paypal\n\nThe rule, as always, is to stay away from those that ask you to pay before you can get these surveys. \n\nLegitimate 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. \n\nOther 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).\n\nThe article "Earning Money from Surveys" provide a short list of legitimate market research firms and contains explanations of what to look for when joining surveys (and weeding out the fraudulent ones)\nhttp://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol121/onlinesurvey.htm \n\nPinecone Research http://www.pineconeresearch.com\nGreenField Online http://www.greenfieldonline.com \nHarris Poll Online http://www.harrispollonline.com  \nBuzzBack http://www.buzzback.com  \nSurveySite http://www.surveysite.com \nSurveySavvy http://www.surveysavvy.com\nSurvey Spot http://www.surveyspot.com/\nhttp://www.internetpaidsurveys.com/

I do online surveys, and yes, I get good stuff and I get paid for them too. But there are way too many scams out there. If you get the solicitation via e-mail, chances are they're out to sell you name and address and so on. E-mail me, and I'll provide you with some legitimate survey sites for you to check out.

There are many scams out there.\nBut there are also good survey sites which you can join free and earn money. But the earnings are not very good- good for some pocket money.\nDo your research befor joining.\nJust read the terms at each site before joining.\nSome of the best sites are surveysavvy, NFO survey, ACOP, globaltestmarket, Greenfield, Ciao, NPD, Ipsos, surveys.com, opinion outpost, surveydirect,lightspeed, your2cents, Epoll.\n\nAnd remember, never pay for getting surveys!

I don't think that they are worth it.  I do surveys everyday for a couple of different panel groups and I have never recieved money.  I only earn points for each survey that I enter.  It takes 10000 points (or 500 surveys it seems) to earn something worth about $10.00.  Don't waste your money.  I don't know why I still complete them.

I think it's hard to make much $ from those.  I got a free subscription to Fhm magazine. That was my best "take." But good luck, it can keep you from bein bored. Some surveys offer reward points.  Surveyscout.com gets you started for a fee. Tons of emails will come if you answr.  You might try mysurvey.com but that just gave me a deadend. good luck.

They seem as legit as the companies who run them.I know people who have done coupon entries for national newspapers and stuff. I think the thing to look at is \n\nIF IT SEEMS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE \n\nThen it probably is.
