How to Do Online Paid Surveys Work
The idea of getting paid to take online surveys may seem like a scam on the surface and, in some cases, it is. But in other cases, it is a legitimate way to make a few extra bucks either in the form of cash or points that you can trade to receive items such as gift cards to major retailers. Finding these legitimate sources of income requires a bit of sleuthing on your part. To take part in these online paid surveys, you have to register with the particular site, tailor surveys to your interests, and accurately answer the questions posed to you.

Find a legitimate online survey company and register with them. Conduct an Internet search to see what kind of word-of-mouth the site has. Look for signs of legitimacy on the site, such as an approval seal from the Better Business Bureau's Online Reliability Program or TRUSTe Site Validation. Clicking on these logos will take you to the sites if the logo placement is legitimate.

Accumulate points or money, then cash them in; some online survey companies, when requested for a cash payment, will send a paper check to your address while others pay through an online payment resource. Cash in your points for products that range from ear bud headphones to towels to binoculars; many sites offer gift cards as a form of payment as well.
