Hi. I have been participating in online paid surveys for a long time and I know whats
real and what is not. Online surveys are short questionnaires usually 3-15 minutes in length that are created by major corporations in order to get consumer feedback on their products or services.
These companies actually pay you cash to complete their simple surveys. The payments are usually in the form of mailed checks or PayPal. Surveys usually pay between $1.50 and $50.00 and most companies are honest about not sharing your email address with third parties.
There are roughly 15 very well known and trusted survey sites. Others are usually safe to participate in but research them first by doing a simple Google search such as "SiteName scam."
Also it is a very good idea to set up an email account separate from your personal email account just in case you run into a bad apple that sends out spam emails.
Don't expect to get rich from filling out online surveys. It is definitely an easy source of extra income but nothing to retire on. I personally make in the range of $200.00 - $500.00 a month filling out surveys and getting paid to sample products. Product sampling is loads of fun! And just imagine getting paid just for eating, drinking or using a certain laundry detergent and responding with your opinion on the product.
If you have a question about any online paid survey site you come across feel free to contact me.
