Obviously I am reaching out to the newbies here because most seasoned marketers know that almost all online paid survey sites are a scam. It sounds like a simple way to make money from home doesn’t it? Sitting around taking simple surveys all day and getting paid $25-$65 per survey is a dream job folks and it will remain a dream at least for the foreseeable future.

Now don’t get me wrong. Back in the day I remember a local college sending me a survey and I got paid $100 to take it and send it back. However, it’s not like I could find 100 of these surveys to take a week and they actually found me somehow. So, what is the online paid survey crap all about? Basically they are databases filled with affiliate offers to companies that give away prizes and even sometimes a little bit of cash. Hardly worth paying any money to join such a program because you will work at least 100 hours a week to make any money at all and if you get lucky you might get entered into a drawing to win money.

The only one getting paid off these survey programs is the people who operate them. They make money on your signup fees, they make money on the survey database because they are just affiliate offers and then they have you on their mailing list to send you even more crap later on. If you’re still hard pressed to give it a go, signup for the free survey sites out there like Survey Club or Nielson Net Panel. They are free to join and you stand a better chance at making money with surveys with these companies without paying a dime.
