1. There are many different paid survey companies out there and it is difficult to determine which companies are scamming their clients and which companies really do pay you to take surveys. Some of the most popular paid survey companies are SurveyClub, Survey Pay Day, Survey Lot, and Paid Survey Etc. All of these companies offer paid survey plans.

2. Once you enter one of the paid survey sites, you normally have two options. One is to sign up for a membership (usually around $25) which gets you into the elite paid survey membership. Do not do this at first. Almost every site offers a free version. Try their free version first. If you are indeed paid to take surveys during the free version you can expect that the paid version could make you more money. Always experiment with the free version first though. Calculate how much money you make, your hourly wage, and if it is worth it! Taking paid surveys can be great but you need to make sure it will work for you.

3. How it works? Taking paid surveys works by soliciting businesses to do market research for them. You become the subject and big companies will pay for this information. Taking paid surveys could be a viable way to make money if you fit the profile that companies look for.

Tips & Warnings

• Never pay to sign up initially - always try it free first!
• Never buy something to qualify!
• Look on Craigslist for actual focus group meetings - sometimes you can make over $100 in an hour if you fit the profile1
• Calculate your hourly rate - it isn't worth it if you make small amount per hour - it isn't like ehow where the money is passive!
