Making money taking surveys

Hi Mylotters, can someone please help me to understand, why you take surveys, and always have to purchase something. I get so many emails for surveys and they always want you to buy something. Is there anyone reading, that take surveys, without buying anything. Or is there anyone making a living on taking surveys. All input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks popciclecold.

Yes, there are real survey companies that don't require you to spend a penny of your money, that just want your honest opinions. I have particpated in several of these for a number of years. This past week, I particpated in an interactive online survey, that I got paid $35.00 for doing, that took 75 minutes. That isn't typical for me, but over the years I've probably gotten a few thousand dollars in cash and I can't tell you how many free products I've received, just for agreeing to participate. And I don't even do it very seriously, like some people do. If you're really serious about doing surveys, there are survey databases that you can pay a one time fee for, that will give you access to hundreds of real survey companies you can sign up for. But just some advice. Don't spend your hard earned money unless you're ready to take it seriously and really try to earn money doing surveys. If you want to do what I do, you can find some sites for free before you spend any money. Here are a few good ones: lightspeedpanel mysurvey.com harrispoll greenfieldonline.com I'm not sure what country you're in, so I'm not certain you can register for these. But to answer your question and encourage you, yes, there are really survey sites that reward you without asking for money.

I don't think you can make a living doing surveys, but you can make some extra cash once in a while. The ones you're talking about aren't the regular survey places, I don't mess with those kind. I've been doing surveys for years, NFO My Survey, I think is the best cause they don't waste your time. They give you points and when you have 1000 pts you request the 10.00 which is a check in the mail. I've also got products to try like laundry detergent and shampoo. You have to sign up and check their site or watch for an email. The only way for me to refer you is with an email through their site, but you can probably search for the site and join that way. I plan to make a blog for survey sites but haven't done it yet. Lightspeed is good also.
