Taking Online Surveys
It is true that you can get paid to take online surveys. Some people do very well making money this way. Personally, I am not a big fan of taking surveys. It is very time consuming and if you do not like to sit for a long period of time, this may not be for you. How do you know which survey sites are the best? This is a very hard question because there are thousands of survey sites and not all are legitimate. I have had experience with many survey sites and here is what I have learned:
At least read the home page and decide for yourself.

This is a very hard question because there are thousands of survey sites and not all are legitimate. I have had experience with many survey sites and here is what I have learned:
- You must live the right area, be the right age and race-Many times when asked my location, race or age I was automatically declined to continue with the survey.
- Sometimes, the payment isn't worth the time- All too often survey sites will send you an offer of payment that will only be $1.00 for a 20 minute survey. Forget it!!!
- PTR sites suck-Some survey sites offer you surveys and PTR(paid to read emails). The downfall to most of those is you may only get 1/2 cent and some as low as 1/4 cent to read an email. Get real, you do the math. The only way to be successful here is to get a bunch of suckers to sign up under you and then you profit from their clicks.
- Only taking a half a survey- This one really pisses me off! I get an invitation to take a 20 minute survey and get paid something like $5 or $10. Fifteen minutes into the survey, you answer a question and suddenly a message pops up that says "We are sorry, but you did not qualify to complete this survey." Makes you want to rip the computer apart!
- Learn to lie-This is a requirement if you want to be successful at taking surveys. There are some companies that you will be offered a descent amount, but you will get disqualified for some reason. Remember what it was because chances are, you will get another survey just like it and it may be from a different company. Surveys about products such as food or shampoo are easy because even if you do not consume or use the product, act like you do.
