These days you hear a lot of news about people getting cheated on free paid surveys. There are companies which charge high amount to get access to surveys and end up doing nothing good for the company and there are also cases where companies disappear before they pay out. In order to be free from such traps, there are a few dos and don'ts that you need to keep in mind.
First of all you should avoid any survey providers who charge money from you for access. Remember that your aim is to make money and so there is no question of spending for it. All the major providers give you access freely and gain a lot of money by getting surveys done by you. The more surveys you complete, the more they get as profit. So, there is no need for you to pay any amount to gain access to their sites.
The second fact is you need to be really honest while giving the details about yourself. There is no need to give fake information and sign up with a survey provider with different identities to fill maximum number of surveys. Remember that most of the survey providers know all these tricks and very soon your true identity will be known. Once you are caught, your account will be closed immediately.
Always look at free paid surveys as a business and so the first step to do is to create an email address meant exclusively for survey activity. Use this email address while signing up with the survey providers. And once you start receiving mails in this account, you need to sort it out as fast as possible.
But before that, sign up with as many legitimate survey providers as possible so as to gain as many surveys as possible. Then concentrate only on those surveys which fetches you the highest payouts. And above all never pay even a penny to join any network even if it promises you of high benefits.
Just a little bit of care from your side can save you from falling into the trap of illegitimate providers and definitely this job of filling free paid surveys will turn out to be a real lucrative job.
