Are you an active member of any survey site which also paid for taking surveys or writing reveiws and that can be reliable in terms of giving payments also ? please share your experience with those sites without posting your referral links here, hope you understand, thank you

before i have joined awsurvey ,but i waste time to make ref and complete their survey can't get payout . i think it's scam but have people said they get paid i no sure their payment proof are real or not.
so,i never joined this part again,and i have not much time to work's as this.
one more thing, i hear many people say some survey site are choosing member by their ip, seem's they are not interest about asia member.

Hi Funtasy. You are correct. AW survey is a scam. It is not paying really. We can able to make $27 through surveys. The minimum payout is $75. So, we cannot get money from them. Its a total waste of time...

Well, I've been doing quickrewards for about a year now. I've been payed several times, but I haven't qualified for many surveys lately. What really pisses me off is that I was taking a survey on cheese snacks today and I was getting toward the end of the survey where they ask for some background information. After that, they said my answers didn't qualify me for that survey! What the hell?! Why'd they have to waste my time asking me questions on a cheese snack product, then?!

I use Inboxdollars that pays $0.02 for every email you read. And they send a TON of them straight to your email. I hate the paid surveys though, because you have to fill out the beginning with your stats and interests. And most of the time you find out that you don't even qualify so it was a waste of your time. It drives me nuts!

haha! you're right delmeg, that usually happens to me, I don't qualify for the surveys! lol! But yeah, Inboxdollars is a good site, I already reached the payout amount which is $30, it's gonna be processed this May.
What's good about inboxdollars also is, the moment you reached that payout, you'll be upgraded automatically to Gold membership which offers more opportunities. What I like most about it is being credited automatically, a portion of referral fees from new members eventhough you don't invite them.
Try sendearnings.com also, it's totally the same thing as Inboxdollars. I'm active in both sites. =)

I belong to a variety of paid survey sites. However, I have only made money from one of them so far. I joined "Lightspeed Consumer Panel" about two months ago and have made 10 dollars so far. Payment was quick to my paypal account, and that was during the holidays.

Hello! Yes, I'm a member of maybe some hundred survey sites but really, I NEVER earned from them! It's quite disappointing but I have tried to recover from the loss of time and effort. I'm a review writer and so far I already received $200 from the site--ReviewStream.

I use Inboxdollars. They actually have several ways to make money through them. Of course none of them are that much though. The surveys are $.50 a piece (though it can be a bit frustrating to get one for some reason), emails are $.02, and money earning offers vary. The minimum payout is $30 and they pay you through checks. I believe I only have around eight more dollars to go before I reach my payout.

Hello dio123! I am not a member any paid for taking surveys. Although I want to because I heard that it's a good way of earning, I am not from United States and mostly only a residence of United States can have the privilege to be paid.

I do participtate on a few survey sites. The ones that i regualarly do surveys for are Mysurvey, OpinionOutpost, and Globaltestmarket. I've been with Global the longest. Their payout is set very high in my opinion and it took a long time to get there, mostly because I feel that I don't qualify for many of their surveys, and the other issue is that when I get home form work and check my email, alot of time their surveys are already closed.
I like mysurvey, they don't have big time points for each survey, but there usually are quite a few and you get somethng for each one. The surveys are quite simple and quick.
Last, I participate in OpinionOutpost. This is the site I have had the most success with. I've gotten paid several times. It takes several weeks for the check to get here, but it does. I usually get 1-2 invitations for surveys a day. I usually qualify maybe 20% of the time.

I am from India and here most of the well paid survey companies don't offer much, so after signing up I waited for a month or more but nothing happened, some surveys will consume your time and then simpley will get nothing...saying that you can not proceed...
I prefer writing online articles rather than surveys which pays one time...while online writing continues paying till the time ur articles are viewed...

I have some experience of survey online, but for my age, the invitations are very few. Recently I took a survey about the enterprise image. Questionaires were answered respectively on four influential companies. It took about five minutes, and as reward I am given 300 marks, which corresponding for RMB 3, or about 0.5 cents. The scores are added up until payment notice or gift change. They will be zeroed after one year.

I have not heard about that before. Mylot is the first site I know that can make money. And I am not interested in such sites. I am here for more than dollars. It's a platform for to study,too.
