Things You'll Need:
- Computer
- PayPal account
- Internet
-
Step 1
First, you need to decide whether or not you want to pay to join survey sites. There are a variety of both paid and free survey sites available.
-
Step 2
Once you have decided the type of survey sites you are looking for, start your research. Using your Internet browser, type "paid surveys" into the search box.
-
Step 3
Choose a survey site and click on it. You will want to carefully review the site. Pay special attention to the terms of use section and the privacy information section. Scroll through these sections slowly so you can get an accurate understanding of what joining the site will entail.
-
Step 4
Write down important information such as how and when you get paid. Some sites will mail you a check for each survey you take, others deposit money into a PayPal account and for others you must accrue a certain amount of money or points in order to get paid. Also pay attention to see if there are any actions required by you to maintain an active membership. Some sites require referrals, while others require opening emails.
-
Step 5
After you have studied all the site information, open up a separate browser and do some research on the site. See if you can find any feedback by typing the site name. Many times people will post negative experiences with these types of sites which can give you a heads up as to whether you want to join.
-
Step 6
Sign up the for survey site once you are comfortable with its legitimacy. You will have to fill out a short application and confirm your identity through email. Once you have been accepted, begin taking surveys as they become available to you. The more surveys you take, the more you will get paid.

on 11/1/2009 Here is a comprehensive list of many legitimate, free, paying survey sites. I personally use all of these and get paid!
By paying - I mean cash, paypal, gift certificates and prizes. NOT sweepstakes and entries into drawings. I feel like those
are a waste of time since your chances of winning are so small that you are basically doing surveys for free. You won't get
rich by taking surveys, but you can make a nice little bit of extra money every month to help you out! They are fun too
and it's nice to know that companies really want your input and are listening to you! Copy this link into your browser to visit this site:

on 10/22/2009 I think the most important thing to keep in mind is never pay to get paid. If sites promise you will make money by giving them money, beware!! I have written a blog about this which includes links to some of the best paid survey sites I have found. You can check it out here: http://legitimatepaidsurveysitesforyou.blogspot.com

on 10/10/2009 Who is the company? I had been doing surveys with EDU Research Group found out the site is a scam. Once I make about $70.00, the company came up with a bogus reason, that I had more than one account with them and therefore violated their terms and agreement policy. They and I cannot prove it, they just refused to send my money and immediately stopped sending me surveys. But I would really like to find a honest company to fill out surveys with. Thanks Sheila
