What's the deal with these cash for surveys sites?

Stay away from Cash Create!\n\nIt's a waste of time.\n\nIf you choose to be suckered in and sign up to take surveys and get free trials considered you were warned. The minute you give them your personal information you open your computer to unwanted cookies on your hard drive, annoying pop-up windows and if you are on a PC you open your computer to viruses that can wipe you out.

You can earn a few dollars here and there bt you can't get rich. You can't get rich by getting paid an occassional $5\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/

Most of those websites that do online surveys don't end up actually making you any money. I have tried a bunch of those kinds of surveys. Some of them will pay you like $5 for an hour of filling out a survey, but you need to fill out a ton of surveys before they even think of sending a check out to you (usually there is a minium amount that you must acquire in order to get the money into your hands.\n\nRather than doing surveys, I owned my own car parts store online. I made a great deal of money. The only downside was the time I put into getting the products out, and also for the fact that they don't really help you out when you are filling out a job application.\n\nDon't forget to choose the Best Answer!\n\n-TORCH

I've joined several online survey sites that are free, but you will not get an income out of them. In the past 2 years, I have gotten about $120 out of one, a few movies out of another one, and a few other movies from another one. So as good as they make it sound, it's just a cute hobby with cool little incentives, not really a job that can provide you with a good income to support yourself or your family. If you are planning on trying one of those fee to begin surveys, make sure you call them and tell them to refund you if nothing happens. I had to do that three times already, so I gave up on those.

Yes you can get paid for doing surveys, some are scams and others are ok. However don't quit your day job to become a survey taker as there is no real money in them. \nAmerican consumer opinion\nglobal test market \nsurvey spot \nare three that I belong to I think my total pay last year was about $150. Some like survey spot has drawings with a chance to win much more. I mostly do it because I like to give my opinion on differant subjects.

Are you asking whether or not the site is for real?  I'm suspicious of any site that offers money for nothing, no matter (or maybe because of) how much it insists it's not a scam.  It sounds like one of those sites where the owner gets the money and you get none.\n\nIf you're asking whether or not the idea could work, possibly.  If the site gets enough ad revenue from those trillion visits (and from selling email addresses to spammers, probably) it may be able to afford to give out cash prizes.  That's just a question of calculating how much each hit brings in vs. how much the cash and bandwidth/hosting payments are.

Most online survey sites (and most work-from-home-on-the-Internet sites in general) are scams. You may get some small payments for surveys to get you "hooked", then they will ask you for a membership fee to "upgrade" to the higher paying surveys. If you can earn a little pocket money taking surveys online, go for it but don't ever expect it to replace the income from a "real" job and if they ever ask you for any money, then it is time to run away!

Yes, I have done them. THere are scams there are realones. Anything that is asking you money up front to make money in this business is a scam. But the realones pay too!! The problem is that the reals pay a few dollars ( $5 to $15) and are not often, also are screened for the kind of consumers or people they want to reach, and when you get one through it is probably that at a point you get kicked out of the survey because you made the wrong answer and do not get paid.  The point is... do not make it for aliving, do not pay for it, and if you do it, do not expect to get millions, or even a living out of it. good luck

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.

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.

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.
