I've been doing surveys online and i haven't gotten anywhere with them. They suck and I don't think they are worth my time....what are your thoughts?

Hello, My personal thought is that it (the survey thing) is a big scam, designed to get your E-Mail so a lot of other companies can get your address, and send you things you probably don't want, or need. They also get you to sign up for a lot of "free trials" for however many days they are giving away in the hope that you will forget to turn it off after the "free trial" ends, and then they can charge your credit card again.

It depends on who you are doing the surveys with. There are some real scammers out there, but also some genuine marketing companies. Before you sign up, you should really research online whether the company is any good or not. BTW, if they ask you for money to sign up, they are a scam.
