Watch out for red flags. If the company charges you an upfront fee, run away. If the company asks you to put in your PayPal or other banking password, run away. If you must create an account, stay safe. Never use the same username and password with this company as you would for any other site, especially personal finance sites. They may try to take this information and hack into your financial accounts online. Use a unique username and password for any and all of your survey taking purposes.

Search forums for advice. Stay-at-home blogs and forums have advice from people about which companies can be trusted. Again, these can contain traps as well. Be watchful of scammers who post information that is aimed to mislead you to trust their site. Always remain highly suspicious of any information. The best referral would come from a real life friend that has already made money from a company.
