Make Money Taking Surveys
Without Being Scammed...
There are many companies and websites on
the net claiming to show you how to make
money taking surveys. However, they
are by no means equal in the quality of
product that they offer, and you may think
that all survey companies are the same but
there are many operating with bad
intentions.
In this article I want to help you recognize the different types of survey
companies around and show you which ones to sign up for and which to avoid, all
to ensure that you're able to make money taking surveys.
What to Look For in a Legitimate Survey Company...?
The most important thing to look for in an online survey company and a tell
tale sign of its legitimacy is if it's a division of a market research company.
This is the best way to ensure that you're signing up for legit surveys and are
not going to get scammed by a get rich quick scheme.
These market research companies are the ones who get contracted by
corporations and businesses to conduct online research, so why go anywhere else
other than the source. These market research companies are FREE to sign up
for and they have strict privacy policies regarding your personal information.
An Example of Companies You Do Not Want to Join...?
You need to be very careful with companies that are promising you "too good
to be true" payouts for surveys involving product trials. These scam
companies aren't even associated with any form of market research.
What they do is send you an irrelevant survey for a product they want you to
try. The only way for you to get credit for the survey is to use your
credit card to sign up for the product trial. Then the survey company pays
you a portion of the commissions they received for you trying the product.
The problem is that most people don't read the fine print and are shocked
when their credit card starts being billed monthly after the trial period ends.
So you should definitely avoid companies that follow this format.
3 Legitimate Survey Companies You Should Join...
These companies have been around for a long time and have generated positive
feedback from their members and are highly recommended. They will not
charge you anything for membership and all you have to do is complete a short
personal profile in order to make money taking surveys.
Note: If you live outside the United States please see our list of international survey sites Here.

Tip For Success...
When you sign up for these companies they will send you a registration
confirmation email which you will need to open to complete the sign up process.
One thing that many full time online survey takers do is open up a separate
email account which they use strictly for survey purposes.
This is an excellent strategy as it will keep you organized and you won't
mistakenly confuse incoming surveys for spam emails. So create a free
email account with Yahoo or Hotmail then sign up for the companies listed above
and you'll be well on your way to making money taking surveys.

stevie rae so maryland | 1:03am on January 25th, 2012  | thanks for saving me time and energy, and as everyone else wants to know, i do as well. so if anyone knows of any surveys that do pay, and don't require a lot of time/and don't give you rewards instead of cash. thanks guys |
Megan Arizona | 8:53am on January 11th, 2012  | Runnergirl, what 15 legit sites are you registered with to help those looking for legit ones?
|
tomal islam Bangladesh | 6:37am on December 26th, 2011  | My 3-4 month experience w/ Survey Savvey has been horrible!! In that time I have earned $2.00, in credit. Why? because you spend twenty minutes responding to inquires to see if you qualify when in fact you are answering survey questions only to be told " We apologize but you do not qualify for this survey. Then on to the next one, then the next w/ the same results. I just responded w/ a comment to them informing them of the same thing & requested that they do not contact me anymore. They are full of it. |
runnergirl arkansas | 10:06pm on December 23rd, 2011  | I am a member of probably 15 legitimate survey sites. I do on average 5-8 surveys a day and earn about $150 a month doing this. Really. You have to know which ones to sign up for. I WOULD NOT recommend National Consumer Panel. You will get a lot of junk, I think they sell your email to disreputable companies. But I-Say and My Surveys are very good, you get some good products to try out and I've made a lot of money esp. with My Survey. It's been a great way to make some extra spending money. |
taha egypt | 3:29pm on November 27th, 2011  | I have been signed up with the 3 survey companies you have listed for several years. Yes, years. And I have made so little points that it is a waste of time. Every time I respond to a survey invitation I am told that I don't qualify. I'm sure it's because of my age and I'm very tempted to lie and see if the response changes. But so far my opinion of them is that they are discriminating against the over 60 age group. Not nice and not legal |
Donna Brummer Florida | 10:04pm on November 26th, 2011  | I have been thru many survey companies including the ones listed here. They are not what they claim to be none of them. It takes forever to complete them and like some on here they always deny me surveys..they discriminate against anyone over 50 and it is not worth the time. Especially to those who have posted they are stay at home Moms with kids..You will be disappointed. I have never made a dime and thats in a 10 year period. Once I got 20 bucks from inbox dollars and it took almost a year to earn that cash. You are better off going in your community and go to church and find a job that pays u cash for your services..like babysitting or helping the elderly..
I am on low income myself a lousy 2 bucks after sitting months doing this is not considered making money on line.
Also use e-bay u can sell things on line and make quite a bit of money selling items. People are making 100 to 150 a week just putting up goods for sale. You pay them a percentage but don't forget to charge your customer shipping and handling ...that makes up for the small percent u would lay out to ebay.
Unless you are rich and do not care about surveys that are all a waste of time just to get free gifts and rewards I would say u all are not right in the head. In today's ad economy that is useless to me and will be to you as well.I feel sorry for all of you cos I have done this for 10 years on and off tried just about every survey company and it is not good. |
Mary Denver, CO | 2:17pm on October 18th, 2011  | I've always been leery of trying out surveys. I was very concerned I would end up in a scam. Thanks for your help. I'm going to try it out now. |
Joel Muema Nairobi | 12:31am on October 18th, 2011  | Helpful information indeed. |
aaron minnesota | 9:02pm on October 5th, 2011 | will give it a try |
Margaret Hardy-Mitchell Ohio | 8:01am on September 5th, 2011  | I have had good experience with i-Say and Valued Opinions. i-Say gives partial credit and I have gotten paid some. I don't know why you included NPD. All the points you earn go towards sweepstakes entries. You have to win a contest to get anything. It's just gambling. Most sites pay little enough. Synovate is one that pays cash and so is Send Earnings. Vindale is one that just wants you to sign up for offers that cost you money. I have been doing this for months and have made very little money. That's my experience. |
mary grace Philippines | 10:56pm on July 31st, 2011  | Your information is accurate and very easy to access. It's hard to find sites that are really free and this is the only site that never mentions giving money instead they provide you. |
Donna TEXAS | 5:44am on July 28th, 2011  | 4.75 stars - I wanted to give a 5 star rating the only thing that stopped me was not much mention about all the sweepstakes survey sites enter you in. I have tried several times, over approx. 10yr period, to do online surveys. More often than not I just kept getting entered in sweeps. because, like so many others say, I didn't fit criteria. Then I started getting letters from all over the world saying I had won 100's of thousands of dollars, but first I would have to PAY some amount to get money or to an attorney. Boy if that isn't a RED light!
Also when I first started I signed up for so many different companies and got SO MUCH JUNK MAIL. Oh and Viruses got a bunch of them too.
But what you said about the "Privacy Policies" & being "actually research related" was the best of advice, "I think".
I have found another company, to be pretty good too "OutpostOpinions.com". I also know there are some that pay (give points) to play games as well, a good one of them is: "MyPoints.com" The catch is that you have to open a cash account with a game site, but even $10 can open one. But then you get 2 to 5 cents for each cash game you play. I know many people who have earned hundreds of dollars (literally). Unfortunately I was already a member of the game website.
Sorry maybe I shouldn't have recommended sites. I think you should find a way to get your site name out there. I only came across it on accident. And I LOVE IT GREAT JOB. |
Sylvester Nigeria | 2:28am on July 8th, 2011  | I am new here but have learned a lot. I would have been a victim but thank God I have not joined any. Thanks for the great info here. Please how do I become a member of this site? Keep up the good work. |
soni ahmad baidowi Indonesia | 3:24am on June 29th, 2011  | It's a very useful and helpful review. I am still new to survey sites and have done several sites but the result was nothing. Thank you very much for this review. |
Michael Home | 10:22pm on May 9th, 2011  | I found this article to be both helpful and informative. It makes me think twice before choosing another company... |
Arun India | 6:15am on March 27th, 2011  | Hello i am here to find a paid survey online jobs. So, please can you help me in finding a trusted site. Thank you. |
E.J. USA | 11:21am on March 21st, 2011 | I just want to say that I appreciate this site. I have signed up for all three suggested survey sites. I have no misconceptions about them thanks to your site. There are so many survey scams promising $50 for 1 survey but I am aware that taking surveys will never replace a full or even part time job. However, it can generate a little extra cash or rewards on the side with time, which is what I am looking for. Thanks |
Leandra Angeles Philippines | 5:26am on March 21st, 2011  | I'm very thankful that I've stumbled upon your website, the information provided has been very helpful.
I'm a mother to 5 children in the Philippines, and I badly need to earn extra money at home. I would like to try online writing jobs or doing surveys... can you recommend any legitimate job source for me considering my location?
Thanks a lot! |
tong nagaland | 1:16am on March 15th, 2011 | I am a new user,recently i have joined in a paid survey,in registering with the company they have offered but till now i am not getting a paid survey invitation,so i am bit confused and want to register for another paid survey group,so i would like to know whether netsurveyjobs.com/paid is a legitimate.Do they really pay $5-$50 for finishing the task. |
Sue Oshawa, Ontario | 2:34pm on March 10th, 2011  | I would like to ask Devin how he made so much money. Also, even better, I would like to ask
Ronnieagas which companies he did surveys for, to earn $1,000. I've been doing surveys on and off for eight months, but go for periods where I stop because some are time-consuming, but offer very little. Some only enter your name in a sweepstake. I agree that it takes an awful lot of points to amount to any money. I am confused because I am constantly seeing ads that tell you you can earn $20 - $50 for 1 survey. Where? |
