Work online - what the hell ?

My first earnings online were with surveys but I know that there are many opportunities available for people who are living in the US. For International sites, I usually recommend sites like Global Test Market, Surveyhead, ErgSurveys. I really like SurveySavvy but many of my international friends tell me that they do not get any surveys from them. The site that you mentioned just seems like a scam but all sites are not like that one so I would investigate and find some legit ones that will pay you to your country. I also love working with ZNZ which is open to Romania. This is not a survey site but can offer you an opportunity to make money online.

I've joined many such sites over the past few years. In 4 years I've been paid $20 for one survey once. Most are quite a bit less or just give you points with outrageous credit to dollar conversion rates..Beware! There's a lot of sites coming out of the orient offering $5 and $10 per survey/viewing that cash out at pennies on the dollar. The high incentives are come-ons for the unwary. The best I've found are pay per views. They don't usually pay a lot..2-5 cents per view but they are consistent with occasional higher sign-up bonuses for a variety of sites. Check my profile if you want to check them out. These pay off without fuss as well..Enjoy!

Yes, that's pretty much how it goes. I'm a member of about 2 or 3 sites that have been very legit for a long time. There are other survey sites that I used to work for but have since stopped because they are a waste of my valuable time. I really can't stand that virtual loop that you have so acurately described. I want a cut and dry method for earning a little extra cash. As I weed out all the junk, I think that I'm finding my way.

I find most survey sites to be very frustrating. I do sometimes get paid by them, but other times I get screened out of surveys after only a couple of questions so I don't earn anything. The most important thing is whether you fit the demographic that they are looking for. I guess I am too old or something because when I am honest about everything, they reject me. Oh well... Have a great week!!!

As a marketing business owner I'm not so crazy to pay $5 for everyone who fills my survey instead I may ask for free or $0.10 to $1 per fill or just give an 10% off coupon away for users .

You are right survey site pays us more than any other site and i have joined many site and earn much money,i don't there is site that pays 5$ each survey,but the are paying as more. The main problem behind this type of site is that the payout amount will much higher,for example if you take in case Gobal test market the payout minimum is 1000 point and we can get only 30 to 50 points for completing a survey of 20 or 30 mutinues,and if we are screen out in the last moment we will only get 5 points.,this are some of problems behind all surveys sites., as no one will have the interest to join this type of site..!

hi iuliuxd if you would tone down your expectations as to how much you make come to mysurvey.com and sign up.I have been on there for years and for every 1100 points you earn ten dollars or you can let it add up to twenty but they are legitimate, and whats great they qualify everyone. the surveys are really fun and seldom over thirty minutes most are faster but the lengthy ones give you as much as 500 points and whenever you get those lengthy ones you see your earning points move up fast. we have a say in how brand new products are packaged, what price they sell for and how good or bad they sound, its fascinating as well as giving you some extra money.they pay by check to your home address and are really legitimate, I have belonged for years. also you can get additional points for referring someone, as I will if yuou mention my name Patsie Hatley. anyway give it a try aas they are an older and really legitimate survey called mysurvey.com.easy to remember too.also they have merchandise you can get for various points. me I need the money so I ask for a ten dollar check I have made twenty dollars from them some months and put that with mylot earnings and it really helps.you do not ever get asked to buy anything nor do they promise x dollars a survey.they go strictly by points. it builds up fast too.

I have tried through the past three years to work surveys. I really never got interested in them, because I am probably too impatient, but so many of them opt me out after I have filled out forms or answers for about 15 minutes or more. Now recently, I have tried to get back interested in them, because there is this other site that I write in t he forum at times, and sooo many on their brag about the money they make on surveys. I mostly have only been trying globaltestmarket since I recently started trying again. They have let me work and earn on one so far out of about 15 that I have attempted.

For me try this site www.odesk.com,www.contentcurrent.com they are legit site.

There are three survey sites where I make a few bucks at. I have had several invitations, but never receive any surveys. I am looking for ways to really suppliment my income now more than ever because it looks like my husband may not have a job longer. The company was bought out by a big corporation and nobody is being told what is going on. We may need to save money so we can move in with my parents.

I had the similar experiences with those crappy websites solicitation also, and I just took a look at them. Website after website, and I know that I won't make any money at all. You know what, I was stupid enough to try some of these sites in attempt to make some money, but at the end, I just waste my time. Even though with honest answer, I just got rejected to participate or I wasn't qualify for those survey at all.

You are right they are scam, and are making money by us because thet sell our information to others companys, and when we don't think we have our email full of junk, must of the offer they send to me ask for my credit card number, and some for my social security. I don't give none of that information because at the end I don't know what kind of manic in on the other of my screen. Happy my lotter day.

You are right some will forward you to another website and at the end will give you some pretext telling you that you don't fit into the criteria or some will promise to send you surveys to your email and seldom it happens . There is always some exceptions . Many who had fantasies of earning loads have at the end suffered due to such companies . So it is very necessary to be careful and meticulous for a person to work in this virtual world.

iuliuxd, I agree with everything you have said here. However, I HAVE found a site that will help you find survey site that DO pay. I use it myself and I have made some money off of them. Just be aware that you will NOT make enough money on surveys sites to live off of, but if you want some extra cash to pay a bill, etc, they do pay. Here is the site: Work at home no scams.com

That is why we don't know what to believe in those kinds of sites. They always ask for some sign-up fee in the first place, so that alone makes people ask questions as to the legitimacy of these sites. People want to work and earn money online and not be scammed.

I do not find doing surveys a way to earn online since there is no real pay there only some incentives. That is if you are living in America since most of the offers and discounts that you get in exchange for the surveys are given for American stores that are all based in the States. Working online is far from doing surveys. It is being able to earn at a good income by doing writing jobs, data entry jobs and the like in a legit freelancer site.

At least 80% of the money making opportunities on the internet are scams, and unfortunately it's up to us,the "costumers", to discovers if they're real or not. To be honest, I've always kind of avoided Surveys, and this for many reasons: 1) if you're not from the US you'll receive just a mere percentage of the surveys, and I live in Italy so... 2) when and IF you receive a survey it doesn't mean you'll get paid because sometimes there's a pre-survey when they tell you if you reflect or not their target...and 70% of the times you DON'T! 3)being european I would receive no more than 3 survey a month...and this means too little money to me; I'm sorry, but I work to earn. Honesty is and will always be a great virtue, unfortunately is usually not linked with money.
