Things You'll Need:
- A computer (duh!)
- An email address
- Time and patience
-
Step 1
Figure out which companies you want to work for. There are a couple of ways to do this. Most (probably all) survey companies have a feature that allows members to invite their friends. If you receive an invitation from someone you trust, go for it! Another way to find companies is to do a Google search, which is where it gets tricky. If you type "Online Surveys" into the Google search box, the number of hits will be staggering! A better place to start is www.surveypolice.com. They list all the major, legitimate survey companies, and people can rate them and post comments about them. Be sure to read several comments, though. Just because one person had bad luck with a certain company doesn't mean EVERY-body does!

Step 2
A couple of legit survey companies that I have personally had really good dealings with are...
1. Inbox Dollars (www.inboxdollars.com). They pay $1 for each survey completed and you're allowed to do one survey a day. They also have paid emails, which admittedly don't pay much, but hey, you're reading your email anyway, so why not?
2. Snap Dollars (www.snapdollars.com). They also have paid emails, but I haven't actually done any surveys for them yet, so I'll have to update on that later.
3. My Survey (www.mysurvey.com). I like this one a lot. They award points for each survey and every 1000 points equals $10. BUT! They are forever awarding bonus points, so it really doesn't take as long as it would seem. Also, every day that you log in, you're entered into a sweepstakes to win, well, I've never won it, so I forgot how much it actually is! -
Step 3
Finally, remember one very important thing...you will NOT get rich doing online surveys! These survey companies that promise to pay $40 a survey or want you to pay them to get started are scams! But, if you have some free time and want to make a little pocket change, there are some legit companies out there who are willing to pay you for your opinion.

Actually most of the surveys are scams.I've been scammed many times, but finally I found a
legitimate paid survey company.Now I make more than $3,000/month and I work only several
hours a day.
I thought that I should share this site:
