Although I have read some negative feedbacks about survey online jobs, I just can't resist some well-presented advertisements about this and that survey website.
There was this survey site saying I get a $1 bonus upon registration.Great! Then , at the start-up I was asked to answer about 4 survey activities , each giving me $ points.
All in all, in just one sitting , I was able to earn roughly about $12.I was thinking, finally I found the ever-elusive real bigtime online opportunity.So I was so excited on how to transfer payments. And there it says, I have to earn $75 to make a payment request.Duh...but I still chose to be positive about it.
I never heard from that site again , it never contacted me about another survey assignment.Fun isn't it?
Then just recently, I registered on a survey site.Very promising too. And they made me answer so many questions and probings, only to told at one point, that I don't qualify at all.Ehhh!
I need to learn some lessons from this experiences.

So far the only legit sites I've come across are OpinionPlace and Mylot. If you haven't already, you could try OpinionPlace, they have surveys up to $7 a piece and there's no catch. It goes directly into your Paypal after you finish the survey.
Good luck!

Lesson learned, time to move on and forget those survey sites ever existed! Charged it to experience. Good that you have tried than not tried at all and keep wondering of the what ifs!
Never trusted any survey sites. Theyre time consuming, never live up to their promise that surveys will be available as they just don't appear that often or sometimes don't appear at all.

That's exactly what keeps happening to me too. I had joined a number of online survey sites, and have spent some time on them. I don't do that any more, because whenever I take the survey, after spending some time, some where down the process, a message will say that I didn't qualify. Just a huge waste of time.

I am working on two survey sites but they are locally based. They give me surveys every now and then and my points are now ready for rewards. Yes, they have this options, you choose your rewards like shopping certificate which is not bad as I enjoy shopping and its free.

hey lipstick,
most survey sites are scams and you need to be alert not to be convinced easily.You need to conduct a research about them through online forums and weigh your views based on comments made by people.This will help you to gauge genuine and scam survey sites.
Did you know that the funny thing about a rat race is that even if you finish..you are still a rat...and that's what most survey sites are.They will re-brand their site to convince you that they have changed but in true sense they haven't...they just want to achieve a certain target then they will ditch you like you never even existed..

Most peoples of online earner are talk to against survey websites on the internet.They are talk to on point about survey website.Most survey websites have not good performance with the point of view.they are told in their discussions the survey websites are bound a person and trying to having got his/her personal information and asked personal survey time to time. In the end mostly people are not earned a single penny from these websites after 1year and two years (except some survey websites).Please do not time waste of every survey website and give your personal information and doing some research work and trying to some legt websites.

Hi Lipstick. I joined so many survey sites and never got a single penny from any of them. There was this one site though that years ago they used to send me out products to try and keep then I would fill out a forum online and that was all there was too it. No money. Been trying for about a year and still nothing. So I quit about a week ago taking any surveys for any of the survey sites I joined. Better to spend what time I have on the net here on my lot at least I know I will make something just wish I could make more money. Lesson learned don't join survey sites.....LOL
