Harris Poll Online (run by Harris Interactive) is a legit survey company.  They do not give you money, but the points you earn are easily redeemed for very nice prize packages.  It is very easy to acquire the needed points, too.

Online surveys is one way. If you have a website and/or blog then consider google adsense or similar program.

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.

Repeated SPAM advertisement found over 100 times in both questions and answers.\n\nMost likely a scam.\n\nSTAY AWAY!!!!!!!!

I don't think so...they just scammed me into filling all that information and then when I got to the part where they were offering me "extra bonus offers", there was no other option to move on...like no option for a "finish" button or something...\nI usually don't fall for those scams, but I thought maybe for once they wouldn't lie. Oh well, maybe by a prayer it will come in the mail. lol ;)

The 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 \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/

first...online surveys are fraud, especially when they ask you for money.  Beware of this type of job advertisments, like "secret shoppers, we'll pay you to shop..."  Don't be fool by those companies out there trying to take advantage of the unemployed and ignorant.

If you have to pay money to get a Job/Loan/to take surveys, it's probably a scam. 98.5%** of All WORK FROM HOME ad's on the Net are scams.

The only money made with online surveys  Are the folks selling them.  You were ripped off.

I know that there are companies that give surveys and pay you up to $40 for two hours.  Once, I had a survey company call me, and I reported in at a local hotel to answer questions for 1 hour and received $40 for it.  I would NEVER get involved with anything that required a fee (any fee) to get in their program.  Most if not all of those programs are scams.

My favorite is Pinecone Research. I get a $5 check each time I respond to a survey and sometimes get to try new products, but it has limited enrollment (not open right now).\n\nI'm also a member of NFO / MySurvey. They don't send out checks every time but give you points so every once in a while I can get a $10 check. Enrollment for this program is currently open.\n\nHowever, don't expect to make much money doing surveys online. I only get surveys to fill out once or twice a week. It's just nice to get an extra check in the mail every once in a while, even if it isn't for a large sum.

are you running a survey of some sort?

Yes...there are some.  On the following site I've listed some of the sites I have taken surveys through and actually been paid--\nand I tell whether they pay you by check, pay-pal, points for rewards, etc.--plus what I like and dislike about them. \n\nhttp://www.windhavenweb.com/surveys\n\nOne I don't list is www.surveydirect.com.  I have't been paid through them because I either don't qualify for the surveys, or they require flash, which I don't have on the browser I use.  But I've heard from other people that its good and they pay by pay-pal (not every survey is paid...but they tell you up-front which ones aren't, so you can just skip those that aren't).\n\n\nThere are others out there.  Be careful though, there are also 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.  \n\nAlways 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 agregated) to third parties (unless you really don't mind getting junk mail, telemarketing calls, and spam).\n\nAlso just recently came across a good survey ratings site that I've found very helpful:\nhttp://www.surveypolice.com/

Yes, BIG scam. I got scammed by a damn program called The Power of People Network. There was a big news interview and everything about it. DON'T DO IT !!! They want you to ( give ) a huge sum of money, then you gotta "return phone calls" asking people to do the same thing. This is a pyramid scheme and is very illegal. Hope this helps.\n\nYou should check this site out \n\nhttp://www.cashcrate.com/index.php?ref=1...\n\nIt is totally legitimate and free to join. You get paid by doing surveys and free offers, you never have to spend a dime and they pay every month. You can also get 20% from referrals earnings as well as 10% from second level referrals ! It's easy and again it's FREE !

Ah, I love the spammers!\n\nNo thanks.  My current job pays me quite lucratively.  I don't need to do online surveys.

it seems like it is to me... one time i was told to take this survey, and they would give me money. but they wanted to wire the money in my bank account, so they said they needed my bank account #. so you really need to watch out. If they're asking for stuff like that, then yeah, i'd say its a scam. i never heard of anyone making a living by filling out surveys.

This is actually a gimmick to try and sell other items to you by the time you've answered surveys for an hour everyone of these companies has your email by then.\n\nBest advice, ignore them and unsubscribe to those who are already emailing you.
