  • Surveys for Money

    So, I wanted to be sure this worked before I informed you guys about it. I've been filling out surveys for a couple of weeks during the slow periods at work and I just got my first cash out. The website is Surveys for Cash and Rewards | Survey Spot. They pay you per survey that you take, but each survey is worth a different amount, ranging from 50 points to 350 points. 1000 points is worth $10. Once you reach 1000 points, you can cash out your money using a verified PayPal account. I just cashed out $11. Mind you, you won't get rich, but it's some extra money for your savings account.

    Their web site is also extremely buggy. I have received 3 different errors so far, and have given them all sorts of information on my habits, interests, etc. but have been unable to even do 1 survey for points.

    You're better off mowing someone's lawn for 10 bucks each weekend. It'll take about a tenth of the amount of time this web site will consume.

      Been doing surveys for a while, as already stated it's not gonna make you rich any time soon. I just do them when i have ten minutes to spare as a time killer personally.

          There is lots of sites for the same purpose, but most of the sites there is no proper amount of work available to make money. We even not able to get 1/4 of of work by online survey. But sure I will try this one.

            Just be patient. Do the survey from time to time, little by little you can get the rewards from these survey. It may not cost that much but its still a big money when you have done many surveys.

              I like ValuedOpinions.com. The going rate is $2 for a 20-minute survey, though sometimes surveys are worth more or worth less. You can cash out every $20 in the form of gift cards (in my case, to Amazon). I joined in May and have received $60, and I just do the surveys for fun and when I have the time.

                Not worth your time.

                It's funny, when I got started in the internet marketing business, "paid surveys" was how I started. It's a wonder I ever went anywhere with it considering how much of a let down surveys were. But I have to thank them, they got me on the right path of thinking for making money online.

                To be honest, there are so many better ways out there to spend your time than doing surveys. If you spend 20 minutes doing a survey and you only make $2, you are wasting time. Spend that 20 minutes and read about how to make a wordpress site. Or how you can promote certain offers on facebook. You may not make money your first day, but I promise the time you invest will be worth a lot more in the long run!

                Just my 2 cents.

                  As said above ^^ there are much better ways of making money than surveys, however if you only have ten minutes here and there then they can be OK for making a little "pin money" however don't expect to get rich or even get a payout in a hurry as most survey sites won't pay out until you have earned at least £50 or so which won't happen that fast.

                    I'm doing a focus group/survey tomorrow. When it's finished I will get $75.00.

                      We never do surveys: phone, in person, internet, etc. A lot of seemingly harmless information can be gleaned from this and other social engineering techniques. With the vast computing power possessed by our government, it would not surprise me if they collect and analyze data from us.

                        I used to be a part of many survey programs. They didn't work out for me to well. I didn't think the time was worth the money. However, some people find it extremely simple and fun to complete the surveys for a little extra cash. I would definitely recommend trying surveys for cash to anyone new to making online money just to see if it works out.

                          I personally make about $350 per month from paid surveys. But that's because a) I'm a member of 20+ paid survey panels and b) I dedicate time everyday to filling them out.

                          I used to make more but I've since moved onto some other ways of making money online.

                            Great time management! Never thought paid surveys can really give you money.

                            Unfortunately on my experience whenever I try paid surveys I always stop after a few days. I just feel that it is just a waste of time filling every question. The latest survey I've done was a couple of months back when I was still struggling to find an online job. I guess filling up paid surveys isn't really for me.

                              I agree they are good website.I've been in surveys for so many years.You can not become rich.Everyone knows that this is not the best way to make money online, but it is probably the fastest and the easiest ... It is great for beginner Internet marketers.Unfortunately most of the surveys are scams.

                              You can expect about 300-1,500$/mo.It is different.If you work more, you will make more, it is obvious.I would suggest you paid surveys only for start of your Internet business.
