I've been registrating me to several companies to make some money with surveys, but I wunder if you can make real money with it. I have my doubts because the surveys are almost from 10-50 ct a piece. So I have to do a lot of surveys?

Which sites have you signed up to? Make sure they're legitimate before you find out you've wasted your time. Also you'll never make a lot of money with survey sites but you can certainly make a good amount of money from them . From September I've earned roughly between £200-300 in money/gift vouchers which is more than I've made with any other online earners . That kind of earning is with a from me being signed up to quite a few good sites which usually credit you even if you fail to qualify to complete a survey .

i like the last part i am a member of globaltestmarket, heard of it? i am from india and they say that not many good survey sites are available?? where are you from and what is the name of the site?

Yeah you got to love sites which reward for just giving things a go keeps you motivated I guess to try again . I'm also a member of global test market and I'm waiting on my firs cheque arriving should be within the next two weeks I think I'll have to check the dates again though to be sure. For Inida I'm not too sure of many sites available to users for your country I'll double check though, it's always a struggle when trying to find an international survey site well at least a well paid site. My favourite panels our only UK based with the ones which reward for at least trying well I've another site but I've yet to reach the redemption in that site yet so I'll not be recommending it to anyone until I do so .

That really depends on your location or the target of the companies that request for surveys. Usually, US/UK/Canada members are the ones who benefit from surveys.

I couldn't agree more. Surveys generally are location-dependent. Because I am from India, I do not get a lot of surveys to complete.

Based on my experience I have not earn good money from survey sites, just like what yallit said it depends what country youre from, if you are from US/Canada then earning is possible. Unless you will have many referrals but even I do have referrals Im still not earning from them since they are not active.

Refferals with surveys? They don't have that in Europe. Thats why someone can earn a lot with survey in the US.

what do u think about surveys. These surveys are waste they are doing just time pass the important survey i am telling about is the reffer a friend programme that is the biggest survey in every website. Survey means its quite different they show the products and they put the questions about that products its a best questions and we give the answers and then they review that answers and make a survey and then they will paid money towards us what we take surveys through that product, But this time survey means not like that it becomes friend refferal programme. See i never see a website who are offering the surveys. Still this time also i never earn through that survey.One site is their survey monkey this is such a waste site i never seen they are saying what first to impress us and then after the registration complete they are saying towards us start surveys for urself and then we will take those surveys and we pay u the money what we are doing our own surveys. Our own surveys means in ur house how many cats dogs these are the surveys. Its such a waste of time going on in surveys. I never seen yet the original surveys.

i dont think you can make lots of money by doing surveys but you can make little money it depends on for how much surveys you qualify & your geographical region,etc.

I would say that making money with surveys is very possible, depending on how many legitimate survey sites you join, how much the survey sites pay per survey, as well as how many surveys they send you in a specified period of time. But of course, to make lots of money with survey sites, you will have to be doing lots of surveys and spending a lot of time on it. Long surveys tend to be quite boring and can really test one's patience depending on the layout and user-friendliness of the survey. I join quite a handful of survey sites, but only a small proportion of it actually send regular surveys to me. In addition, most of them don't pay cash to you; they offer points to redeem for vouchers and merchandises instead. Those that pay cash, as you would expect, will be the survey sites that don't send surveys very regularly.

I haven't had much success with the survey sites myself. I was actually able to qualify for a few recently, but I think I made maybe $6 this year. Most of the time I am screened out after the first few questions. I did get paid once or twice from one of the companies, but since I usually don't qualify, those are few and far between. Most of the time last year, I wasn't even opening the emails from the companies. I think there were only two of the ones I opened this year that I qualified for. If you answer the screening questions the way they want you to, then you can make money; otherwise, you don't.

If you live in their targeted countries then the answer is true. They usually have various value per survey and yes you can make real money with them even if the amount is small but its free, right. The more you work the more you will get.

If the company is legitimate then you will make some money, not enough to quit your day job or anything but maybe enough to go to a fast food place once in a while.
