Are Online Paid Surveys a Scam?

The short answer would be: NO!

But are they a reliable source of income that can make you quit your job? NO!

There are a lot of websites online that claim that you can make hundreds of dollar per week just filling out simple surveys. That is not true.

What can you expect is to be able to get that couple of dollars you want/need, once you find a good company that has regular surveys paying well. Surveys are a way of making quick, easy cash, just by giving your honest opinions. Many say it doesn't pay off, I say otherwise. I find myself in front of my computer, looking at it and doing nothing usefull.

Many have argued paid surveys, but did any of those survey takers do ANY effort into winning money? Have they signed up on several companies? No!

Why is that? Simple: The ones who put effort got more that what they were looking for: make money.

As they say, the hardest part is to start, as after you get paid for the first time, you'll enjoy it so much you won't stop. You'll then expand and register in some more sites. Then you'll start wanting to make more money. And you can. Internet is the business of the future

The key with online survey websites is to register in as many as possible, as most will get you just a couple per month. Some sites also have the possibility to participate in online and offline focus groups. These are groups of people who discuss a product or service. These are usual much better paid, but require some more work.

If you want to make some extra money: Try it.
