do those surveys for cash things really pay?

Some of them do pay, but not very much. Although I have earned $20.00 a few times. Some pay with points that you can then turn in for cash. You definitely will NOT make a fortune doing them, but they can be fun and sometimes you receive products to try along with the cash payment. The legitimate ones you do NOT have to buy anything from. Have Fun! =-)

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\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/

Although not near as lucrative as doing focus groups and surveys for brick and mortar research firms, on line surveys can be done for actual money. I have done surveys for globaltestmarket.com and after you do enough they will send you a check.

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/

The problem with this is that when you fill out a survey, the company doing the survey selects only certain surveys to be compensated. This means that if your survey is not one of the very best, you will be working for them for free and not be compensated in any way.

Yes there are. I know someone who actually makes a nice living answering online surveys. She actually gets paid to answer them. I can't tell you where to sign up, cause she won't tell me. I have watched her filling them out and then a window comes and tells her what that survey pays. I watched her do  5 surveys in about an hour and a half. Two paid $100 ea. and two paid $75 ea. and one paid $45. She was mad about the low paying one. After these five she quit for a couple of days. Just as the other answer, be careful when you check them out. My friend says the legit ones will not ask for any money from you.\n\nThe company she does this for had her fill out an application and then did a background check. When they decided she was legit they sent her an email.\n\nAs she says if they want money from you, they're crooks.\n\nGood luck.

Not a scam, some of them, but don't pay that well either. Global test market, Survey Spot, Synovate are three that I take surveys from all pay small amounts or have contest where you can win money or prizes.

I make a few dollars taking on line surveys. Most are scams, so you must fing a legit company such as global test market.

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.

There are some but you also have to realize that the rates are as low as 5 to 10 cents per email unless there are specific or special emails that will pay more. You have to read a ton of emails to make the money that you may be looking into getting. Try this website I've been using it and I've received money via paypal. Although it says surveys it also does, emails, advertising and secret shopper opportunities.

They usually want you to pay money to them to find the surveys for you. Also some will want you to sign up for a service or subscription to something in order for them to find surveys for you. American Consumer Surveys do pay to take surveys,but not very much. Their site is currently under construction and may not be working yet,but you can try there.

It depends on the amount to be paid to you.  Just about anything less than $20.00, they will actually send cash in the mail, anything over that and they will send a check.  The check will be from the Survey Company and they will need your real name.  Most Survey companies are extremely reputable but if you have concerns - get on the web and check them out.  If they are truly legitamate they will have a contact area with a real phone number - call them up and "grill them"
