do online surveys really pay or not?

i have joined a few survey sites since a few years ago. i have also been filling in surveys diligently. as long as i receive and qualify for a survey, i'll finish it. i have also received my payout from the sites i joined. however, it's not a lot of money in total. if you are looking for something that pays a lot then i guess survey sites are not really for you. i can't say for sure how many surveys i've filled in the past years. i would say it's about a survey every week or so. so far, i've received a total of about US$200 in payout from the sites i've joined. i enjoy filling out the survey not just because of the rewards. but also the knowledge that my opinion helped shape the products and marketing efforts of many companies.

Yes they really pay. If, and a big If. you belong to legitimate sites. Unfortunately there are hundreds if not thousands of scam survey sites. Don't join any that guarantee you huge pay outs. Or say you can quit your job doing it. That is just not true! Lame right? Well there is some good stuff I can pass along to you. I belong to about 10 survey sites. And it took me some time and research to find them. They all pay, and I have been paid by them all. You won't get rich! And qualifying can be just god awful sometimes. It also depends where you are from. The surveys you get depends on your demographics. People from USA really benefit from surveys, probably more so than most countries. I will leave you with a good list of legitimate survey sites, that have paid me. And you will find a decent amount of good reviews on each. If you do your own research. Where should I start? There is, Opinion Outpost, Survey Spot, Survey Savvy, Global Test Market, MySurvey, Toluna, Ipsos-I-Say, Survey Head, Brand Institute, and lets end with American Consumer Opinion Panel. I was just paid 20 dollars each from Opinion Outpost and Survey Spot. Instant payments via Paypal. Don't you just love those? Anyway don't be fooled by the points system. Most survey sites have that in place. But they do pay! Just do the math. If cashing out takes 1000 points on a certain site, and that's a 10 dollar pay out. Then you will be getting 1 dollar per 100 point survey. Now if you did 1 of those a day. That's 30 dollars a month. Let's say you belong to 5 different survey sites. And you do that same method. You're then making 5 dollars a day. 150 a month. Not enough to pay the rent. But maybe cover your utilities. :) Of course most survey points you receive vary. And so does each websites point system. But I have found that most of the sites I have mentioned, provide you with at least 50 cent to 1 dollar surveys. Good luck! I hope i didn't overwhelm you with too much information. And yes doing surveys can be really boring, and annoying. I no longer do them as much as I used to. But when I first started out making money online. It was my best earner! :)

Yeah, sure legit sites are still paying until now. You can take a survey from two minutes to 15 minutes at least. It is a sites that just answering about our-self to get paid. They will send up a question through e-mail or log on into a site take a survey. Tats it.
