Is paidsurveysetc legal?

Philippines
September 5, 2010 7:40pm CST
Have you participated on a paid surveys online? I have read an article claiming that a woman had earned a lot by answering surveys on paidsurveysetc. I tried to read and check the site and it has a one time fee of $34+. Is there anyone out there who became a member of this site? I am still skeptical about this, I hope you can share with us your experience. Thanks.

I do not know about paid surveys online, but I do know that it is illegal to pay a fee to start a business. The only time one pays a fee is when one takes a course or if one is in a business and they pay for the supplies but at the warehouse price not at the retail price. So you are wise to be skeptical about it.

myLot friends really help me in doing business like this. I'm quite impulsive before, I have learned my lessons. Thank you!

I belong to one that I have been using since February 2010. I am a very happy member as the minimum cash out is $5. I chose to cash out weekly with a minimum of 20. They say pay out can take 4-6 weeks but I get my check every week and so do many of the members I have referred. It is free to join and he surveys are a great deal of fun.

Good to know that there are sites that really pay. I would be happy to join these sites. Every cents now are valuable, what more a dollar or dollars?

Well this one I belong to is in my profile here and I even created a video here on mylot in my profile that you can view. The minimum cash out is $500 but what I always do is work all week and cash out on Fridays. I average any where between $17 - $54 a week. Good luck

I've never used the site that you've mentioned above. The main survey site that I use is toluna.com. There is no one time fees or any costs at all for membership. They have polls on their that you can earn points from easily regardless of what your answer is. If you qualify for the survey that the poll is setting you up then you have a chance of earning even more points. They send you checks in the mail or you can turn in your points for a prepaid visa card. There are also some other options available on there as far as points redemptions go. Either way whatever survey site you decide to join, there are ones out there that don't require any initial fee or investment to actually earn from the site. In my opinion any site that is legit won't require you to pay money to do work for them.

I started taking surveys online about 2 years ago and at first it was really slow but now I make about $500-600 per month. Not getting rich but great extra income. I bought all of my sons college books this term with amazon dollars I earned from online income about $400
