Paid Surveys - Legitimate Ways To Make Money
Copyright © Leon Bowes
http://www.HonestlyFreeHomeBiz.comPaid surveys can be an extremely easy and profitable way to earn money. You need to take a little time and investigate to find the legitimate ones. If you don't have any knowledge of how they work or have not ever done paid surveys, then you might be a little overwhelmed at first.
Take the time to read the Q & A Sections as well as the Terms and Conditions for answers to most of your questions. If your questions do not get answered, send them an email. The legitimate companies will respond with an answer.
Everyone likes the concept of earning extra money from the internet and paid surveys have made it very easy to do so from the comfort of your home.
There are a couple of different types of surveys out there. There are the free memberships and paid memberships. You can sign up for the free ones and get paid .50 cents or even a $1.00 for taking their surveys. They will even give you $5 just to sign up and claim that you can make hundreds of dollars every day.
Now, I will be the first one to publicly come back here and write an apology if anyone can prove to me that they are making hundreds of dollars every day taking surveys from a free site.
My experience has been this (and maybe it is just me)!: You sign up and they send you a survey. You take the time to answer the profile questions (5 - 10 min). Now you start answering the qualifying questions, then two or three questions down the line, boom...Sorry, you don't qualify for this survey at this time.
Now let this happen to you nine times in a row, like it did to me, and you have wasted an entire hour. Then, oh my goodness, on the tenth one you DO qualify and when you finish 40 minutes later, you have just made a whopping $1.00 for the last hour and 40 minutes.
Please don't let them try to insult your intelligence. I recommend you pay the one time membership fee (anywhere from $29.95 to $49.95) and take surveys that WILL pay good money and earn you an income. You can easily make your membership fee back, the very first day.
Now let's look at some of the pros and cons of online paid surveys.
The pros:
You can create a good supplemental income to your full-time job just by working on the computer a couple hours each day. Every survey that you take and complete, will pay anywhere between $5 and $75 per survey. You are not limited to only one survey and these surveys are easy to do.
You can take the surveys at your own pace. The more surveys you do, of course, the more money you make. If you go long periods of time not responding to surveys, they may note you in their data base and by-pass you in the future. You may also want to avoid picking and choosing surveys too often.
You are not tied to any contract and have no obligation to complete the surveys that are sent to you. If you don't want to take surveys, then don't! But remember, they probably like dependable people and may note you in that data base. I would highly recommend that you consider taking every survey if you can. Why not? It is just a chance to make more money.
Many of the legitimate companies have a 30 to 90 day money back guarantee even if you decide that taking surveys is not for you.
The cons:
Sometimes you will be offered gifts instead of cash. I personally would not have a problem with this if it is a gift card from a major company like WalMart where I spend cash anyway. Just make sure you read the Terms and Conditions if you want to avoid any companies with this policy.
Most paid survey companies only offer residents of the United States or Canada the opportunity to make money taking surveys. There are a few companies who do offer the opportunity to other countries, but it may be challenging to find them and then receive enough surveys to make enough money to compensate you for your time and efforts.
Overall, paid surveys are a great way to supplement your income. Whether you are a stay at home mom or dad, or one who works full time, you will be able to earn some extra money to ease your financial stress!
