Paying Surveys

You may have come across this before or you may have not, but there is various sites out there that will pay you to take surveys. But be careful. There are some sites that ask you to pay them for a list of these survey websites that pay. I friend of mine purchased one of these lists and allowed me to have access to it. It really isn't anything special. You pay around about $50 for the list with promises of $25 surveys and "make your money back in a week" guarantees, and what you get is a list of 100 odd sites where: over 50% offer their rewards in the form of prizes and not hard cash, 45% work on a points based system (eg. when you get 300 points we will sent you $25), and less than 5% offer checks over $10 per individual survey.

And to be honest, 6 months later and I haven't been contacted by any of the 'individual paid survey' sites... Ok it isn't all bad, there a few of the point based sites that do pay, and I received checks from a few of them. But I have stopped taking surveys a while ago. To properly make money you have to pay attention to the questions and make sure your answer always match the profile you entered. I find this way too tedious and prefer to look for other ways of income.

So my advice to you is that if you are interested don't buy a list. Take some time and try to find some sites yourself. I will list the two that worked for me and from which I got paid. Also, if you are interested, I have the log on details to one of the survey list sites. There are 150 odd survey websites on there. If you are interested feel free to contact me, I'm not asking for anything in return.
