How to Earn Money Doing Online Surveys

Paid online surveys are a great way to make money online. I'll give you a couple of tips on real expectations, as well as links to a few websites I like to use.

      Be Realistic:
      You aren't going to make $100 a day. All of the surveys sites I've used promise around $.75 - $1.05 per survey. Yes, this isn't a lot, but it adds up. I usually make $25-30 a month.

      Get an Alternate E-mail Address:
      Keeping one for surveys and one for everything else eliminates spam going to your personal e-mail.

      Take Your Time!:
      Most surveys take 15-30 minutes to complete. Make sure you are actually reading the questions and not just clicking answers! Quality control questions do come up, and I've been disqualified from surveys before for finishing too quickly.

      Always be Cautious:
      Do your research beforehand and Google the survey site. You'll find potential problems other users have had. The Better Business Bureau is another great place to research.

    My problem is that I have no children and that disqualifies me for a lot of surveys. That and I live in the mountains, which disqualify me for more. So I get 1 survey every six months. Great for a family situation in a city!

    Good advice. I always thought those were scams.
