Never pay anyone for lists of survey sites that you can sign up for here is a forum where all of them are located, all have been proven to pay, and the list is free. These all have been tested and they even tell what countries they allow.

This is the best list I have found so far, and they even have tips there in the forum on how to get the best cash out of surveys. I enjoy reading there more then posting.

It's never worth parting with cash to join a survey site. All you are likely to get in return is a list of survey sites which you can find online anyway just by doing a search.
I've joined several free sites such as Toluna, Ipsos and Lightspeed and these are all great.
There is a website called which surveys. It is a dot com site and list all of the free to join survey sites for UK and International.

The paid survey sites tend to be scams. They may indeed give you a list of other survey sites to join, but you can find those lists elsewhere online without paying. I'd stick with the free ones if I were you.

I belong to only free suvery sites. I had a friend who signed up for a site where you had to pay so much money to get a list of survey sites. It is not worth the money to get the survey sites because one can do the research themselves. I belong to a few suvery sites, but I never paid for them. They are free to join and I do get some money for them and one site I actually get Amazon gift cards which I use to buy things for my niece and nephews (and once in a while my husband, but only if he helps me around the house). The ones that ask for a fee are a scam and one needs to be careful. One should not have to pay a company for work. It would be like applying for a job at McDonald's and paying the Manager of McDonald's to hire you.

Hey dear !
Well I have also visited such sites that ask for a one time registration fee for giving you a life time membership as well as claims that you'll get a lot of surveys.
But according to me and as far as I have researched almost all such sites are just scam sites. Once you'll pay them, you wont get any response from them.
So beware of such scam sites. Although there are some real paying sites too, but these are hard to find.
But you can always get the reviews and popularity of any site from different many trust worthy reviewing sites available.
www.mywot.com is a good reviewing site. So just check that site's review first and if it is positive then you can think of investing in it.
Take Care :)

My Golden rule : NEVER pay for doing/getting a job!! STAY AWAY from places where they want to get paid for making you do the work!! How silly that sounds :))
