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!

I have participated in several paid surveys, but they always pay by check and not Amazon gift certificates\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 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!

You should not pay to join survey companies. There are many free sites like http://www.internetpaidsureys.com which list legitimate survey companies. But the earning potential is not great as promoted by these companies which sell survey databases. At best a couple of hundred dollars per month

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.

I have seen many such sites but none of them turned out to be genuine, they promise you to pay but in the end you get nothing.  However, if you have a good website you can earn money by displaying third party ads/banners, e.g. Google, adbrite, Yahoo publisher etc. pay you for displaying their ads on your website.

Hi Tiger,\n\nI never really had much luck with the online surveys thing. I´ve tried alot of different ways to make money online over the past "painful" 2 years and theres alot of crap out there that just doesn´t work, it´s amazing how they can keep getting awy with it! Now after soooo many disappointments I´m using Data Entry Pro and it´s now making me money (finally!) online. \n\nAnyway, basically you sign up with them and then once your logged in you just fill in as many forms as you like in their members section and you get paid for each one. I get checks from them every 2 weeks each averaging around $250-$350. You could make more but I just use the site as an extra income stream aswell as my full time job so I only work on it for around an hour each night. \n\nYou do have to be prepared to spend a little money though if you want to do anything online like this but it´s already been worth it for me.\n\nHere`s the link you can get them at anyway -> www.protry.com \n\nHope this helps!\nGoodluck,\nDave

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/

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.

I agree with the previous answer, that it is possible to get paid for completing a survey.  \n\nBut I think you are probably referring to ads in the classified that promise you that you can get paid taking surveys or doing data entry from home (or stuffing envelopes, which is another common one). \n\nThe bottom line is that many of these have been known to be fraudulent.  Often they are trying to get YOU to buy into whatever scheme there is.  If you are asked to pay money, that should be your first clue.\n\nYou may be able to get paid for taking *A* survey, but can you make a living from it?  I doubt it.\n\n\nTo research, look at this:  http://www.findpaidsurveys.org/?OVRAW=get%20paid%20to%20take%20surveys&OVKEY=get%20paid%20to%20take%20survey&OVMTC=standard .  It's a site that tries to warn you about the illegit paid survey sites.  Then they go and try to sell you something!  Doesn't that sound even fishier?  They gain credibility by WARNING of fraud.  Pretty sneaky!  (I can't comment on whether the offers on this site is legit or not.  I'm just commenting to be aware of wasting your money, and just because someone warns you of fraud, it does not make them legit!)\n\nNow read:  http://jobsearchtech.about.com/od/jobs/a/paid_surveys_2.htm\n\nAnd do a search for "paid surveys scam", like http://www.google.com/search?hs=ryS&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=paid+surveys+scam&btnG=Search\n\nScams are rampant in this area!  Don't waste your money - even $30.  If companies are desperate to get you to take a survey, I'm sure you can find them on the web WITHOUT paying a middle man $30.

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.

Did you sign up with any websites to fill out surveys?  If not then they are probably just spam.  I have signed up for free with a few companies that pay me to read emails and fill out surveys.  I have also received real checks from them.  Here is a website with a list and an explanation of each site.  http://www.geocities.com/bj84015/makemoneyonline.htm\n\nIf you have any questions just send me an email.  \nRemember, don't pay money to fill out surveys and get paid.  If a company wants you to do something for them you shouldn't have to pay a dime.
