I want to know about paid survey sites

    Hello Everyone,

    I heard many sites saying that users can earn money just by clicking and doing online surveys. I want to verify this fact. If you know about paid survey sites and money earning through clicks then please answer these questions:

    What are the names of these types (any 4-6) of sites?
    What’s the minimum payout these sites can offer?
    Can we trust these sites?
    How these sites are able to pay us (I mean to ask what their source of earning is)?

    Please help me if you know.

    Thank You

    I can't answer all your questions but I don't trust them, of course they may pay out but many are scams and you just end up with a bunch of SPAM.

    You can trust them, but you are going to do so many surveys before getting paid out. Also dont trust sites that offer you $50/survey. earning 40 cents to a dollar per survey is more realistic

    IMO,the online survey site 99% is never paid.
    Its only complete waste of time.

    It depends on which country you are in. In the UK there are some legit companies that carry out polls and surveys for the government.

    Even if you joined every legit survey site out there you would only be able to earn a few dollars an hour at most and then you would probably get about half a days work every week.

    Hi there. I have been using paid survey sites for many years. Paid survey sites are also known as GPT (Get Paid To) sites. Because they literally pay you to do something. ie; complete surveys/offers for cash.

    There are quite a few of these sites around. Fortunately some of them are very very genuine and have been going for years. They have bussling user forums with many happy users who get paid promptly every month.

    I have made money from GPT and PTC sites (Paid To Click) But you will earn more from GPT sites by referring people under you.

    The best most legit paying GPT sites to date are CashCrate, Cashle and TreasureTrooper. I have been paid from all of them. All of my payment proofs along with lots of other information on these sites, how they work etc can be found on my make real free money blog here.

    I can assure you this is very real. The majority of people who tell you scam scam scam are the ones that have never even tried it for themselfs. But this is very real and the industry is massive. There are GPT and PTC monitoring investigation sites such as GPTBOYCOTT.com who monitor closely GPT sites. There are other similar sites such as that so it gives one a little peace of mind.

    Anyway yeah, paid survey sites are authentic. What you have to realise is, is that there are companies that need peoples opinion on the products they sell. The more feedback they have on that product, the better they can be at selling it. They are willing to pay people to get that feedback/opinions because it will ultimately be beneficial to them. There are also companies that pay these survey sites a certain amount to forward people onto their special offers and promotions. The survey site then give you a cut of it for viewing that offer/promotion.

    Hope this helps.

    I use CPALead.com. Only one thing - you need to have website and other users complete offers to get access for your content. I like them and this method is reliable. You can share your revenue with your users too.

    These things are a waste of time. You can try and promote survey sites as an affiliate if you want but you will waste so much time filling out surveys for so little money. It's very boring and you will lose motivation before you even reach your minimum limit criteria. Ie need to make $50 before they pay you.

    wrong wrong wrong
    These things are not a waste of time
    This is exactly what i meant when i said "The majority of people who tell you scam scam scam are the ones that have never even tried it for themselfs"

    listen to you 3. you have never even tried it properly. survey sites are NOT get rich quick. like i said check the payment proof on my site and check my blogroll to see other blogs with their payment proof!!!
    go on the forums of the gpt sites and see the many many happy users!

    So no "Sahil72" they are not all a scam. Like you said "I don't think". That's because you dont know for sure.

    stop being so damn naive people!! look at what I said...

    "paid survey sites are authentic. What you have to realise is, is that there are companies that need peoples opinion on the products they sell. The more feedback they have on that product, the better they can be at selling it. They are willing to pay people to get that feedback/opinions because it will ultimately be beneficial to them. There are also companies that pay these survey sites a certain amount to forward people onto their special offers and promotions.

    why is it so hard to believe??

    Things like cashcrate will pay you for each survey, but usually will require an offer submit like a trial offer.

    Which is why you should create an emailadress only for such use. I have a few emailadresses which I use to sign up on stuff (including here). The real important stuff goes through my "real" mail.

    apart from that... well, you can earn money with them, yeah... but you're better off flipping burgers, as the pay is really low. I think I get about$1,50 per 20 minute survey.... $4,50 an hour is slavery ;)

    Hello Lifeplayer,

    I have registered on planetpulse 2 days back and yet did not got any survey to fill out and not any message. I have filled an online support request with them but still no response and all the time I see a message that "the site is under routine maintenance". So are you sure that you have recieved payment from them and it is a legal site. Please reply back when you get my message.

    Thank You

    Palm Research is my favorite. 2 dailys surveys that pay a dollar each if you qualify. I have some reviews on my site.
