Ever wonder how people find legitimate paid surveys online? Here's how...

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Google different terms to come up with paid surveys. There are many different combinations of terms that sites use. Some you can try are “paid surveys,” “focus groups,” “market research,” “research groups,” “market survey,” “Research panelist,” etc.

  2. Step 2

    Look for recommendations on websites that rate these sites such as 10xmore.com or another one that catches your eye. Also read through forums and blogs about surveys and look at the comments left at the end of articles about paid surveys.

  3. Step 3

    When you do come across a site that you think may be legitimate, double check it against sites that list known scams like SurveyPolice, it’s one more step but could save you a lot of time in the long run.

  4. Step 4

    read the fine print, there are many indicators of a scam in the Terms of Service (TOS) and User Agreement documents. Things to keep an eye out for are red flags such as the site’s ability to change the rules at any point for any reason, agreeing to receive email and offers from affiliates, the term “as-is,” and minimum participation or “offer” requirements. These are indications that the site may not be legitimate.

  5. Step 5

    Once you are signed up for one or more survey sites, take note of the surveys they send you. At the top of many surveys will be a research or marketing company. Search for that website on the Internet and visit their site to see if they are accepting panelists.

Tips & Warnings
  • Stay away from ads on the Internet, television or newspaper. Legitimate companies do not need to advertise, word of mouth produces plenty of panelists for these companies.
  • NEVER pay to get paid! Legitimate companies don't charge you, they pay you. Any info you can get in a list, you can find for free.

on 6/17/2009 I work from home doing surveys. Money - depends on how much money I spend. I made 234 $ last week. I know it's now much, but its something, because I have to stay home anyways taking care of my son. http://cashcrate.com/1381620 This website is the best one I found so far for doing surveys and making money.
