Do those free online surveys actually pay money?

By · Tuesday

I see those checks online all the time "565$" to fill out a survey? is this a hoax or does it actually work...cuz wouldnt you think everyone on the planet would do it? lol

Some give you money, but with most you earn points redeemable for giftcards and other items. Either way you usually have to fill out several hundred or more before you get a worthwhile prize, and each usually takes at least 20 minutes, some a lot longer. I found it to be a waste of time.

well, I’m not sure if those work. But there are these websites that you can sign up for and take surveys and they actually pay you. My friend has gotten like $60 from surveys.

Haha those fake pictures of checks are all over the internet. It has almost become customary for me to leave any website that tries to show me plenty of picture of checks. Hehe being a graphic artist, I can see throught most of those fake ones.

Well surveys do work. It isn’t a hoax, or so I would say. There are plenty of legit survey websites that will honestly pay you money for your opinion, as they will be paid by the companies who asked them to run the survey.

Problem is, there is a huge number of survey scam websites out there. And they far outnumber the legit ones. So if you are planning to join, look and choose carefully.

Actually there are lots of people who do surveys. Just in case you are interested in trying, just remember that the legit survey websites are free. They will never ask you to pay, or buy something or even ask for your credit card number.

Well your not going to make $500 a survey, but you can make $2-3 dollars for about 15 minutes of work which isn’t to bad in my book. I signed up for my survey sites at http://www.esurveys.blogspot.com they all were free and all of the actually pay you

Yes paid survey sites work,
But if you were to get a check from 1 month from any given paid survey sites it would not be $565.00. It would be more like $83.00 and you would of taken approx 20-25 surveys. But that’s one site many people join multiple sites ( that’s the catch )

I personally participate in 45 different paid survey companies research. My minimum checks are $25.00 and my largest check has been $91.00 I take between 5-10 surveys per day, I try to make the most everyday that I can, surveys come and go sometimes before you even go to qualify they reach the threshold for your demographic.

Now the real problem is that Market Research company’s don’t really advertise because they don’t need to, people searching for extra money will find them eventually. But fake survey companies( data miners ) are trying to get your e-mail address and make you join all these ridicules sites ( with an everlasting join now and click here ) so they can send you spam.

This puts a nasty taste in the mouth of any person interested in really taking surveys for some extra cash, I was one of those people. However I pushed on and have found hundreds of real paid survey sites that are free to join and make some cash with. I only participate in 45 though, I don’t have enough time to give my opinion that many times.

Here is one of the websites that I have found useful.

No. you don’t get $565 per survey.

http://www.prizerebel.com/index.php?r=1045251

This site don’t send you the money.

But instead, they give you prizes such as giftcards, ebay, amazon credits.

They also got gamecard and console game prizes.

I’ve claimed 3 game cards.

10 points= $10.

There are no surveys that pays off much as $565, but it is possible to get that much, but it will take awhile.

For each survey, you don’t have to fill out your actual address or phone number, and you still get the points.

When it says silver, gold, or platnium offers at the end of the survey,

just click on the number of offers it asks you to fill out

but you don’t have to fill them out.

hope this helps :)
