    I have seen lot of sites offering pay for completing their online surveys ..

    Are there any genuine such online paid survey sites which really pays ?

    Please post the links and your experience here...
    (please dont post the referral/affiliate links here)

    Do they allow international participants and pay via paypal ? :?

    Most of these kind of websites are not genuine. They are mostly scams specially those asking money upon signup! Be careful.

    InstantProfitz is the best website for payed surverys. You get around $1-$2/survey, not to mention some offers that pay $50+. They have an active forum full of people who have been paid, incase you're worried about being scammed. Click here to sign up.

    great if they don't ask money upon signup. you can try, and make sure your time is not wasted doing that kind of stuff and not get paid in the end

    Most aren't a scam... Just DON"T ever PAY for survey list or signup! I am a member at many, gozing, pincone just to name a few. All pay on time and pay well anywhere from 1.00 to 25.00 (and sometimes get free product to try)

    Again my biggest advice for people wanting to do surveys is NEVER pay to join.

    The links on here are for Australian sites, but they may pay international. I've done surveys with Pure Profile and they have paid (not much, but still).

    First, you don't need to pay anything to take survey. I was with survey scout when I started on IM, because like you It was the right opportunity...

    Just make a little research, and you will get tons of compagnies to sign up with (more than the 400 they provide you in most of the cases.)

    But they don't send survey to non US... no cash, you will get a lot of crappy prizes!!

    They are surveying US people only, you will not get anything.

    The only people I know who make money with survey are... affiliates. Yes, their affiliates make tons of money, because all their websites convert like crazy.

    Bottom line: Do not waste your time online with things like that. There is a lot of things that will make you money.

    your right, if your just after a way to make money, i'm sure there are a lot better/quicker/easier ways to go about it. I've found a couple of legit sites that pay out, but I'm never going to get rich from them, maybe $10 a month? half the deal for me is that i'm interested in market research etc so i actually am interested in that sort of thing. maybe I'm a freak! :p

    yes both of them pay!

    the problem with surveys is that it gets hard to choose REAL companies over a few scammers trying to make money selling you a SURVEY LIST.

    What to watch out for! NEVER EVER pay to join. Otherwise you can be pretty safe. Im not even from the US but I've seen $50 checks from BrandInstitute for a 10 minute survey! A further list of FREE to join surveys can be seen here----->http://www.onlinemoneymaking.net/surveys.php (this is pretty much the list the scammers make you pay for!)

    Many survey merchants are clients on MaxBounty, so I can say from experience that most are not scams. There are the premium merchant sites like NPD, LightSpeed, Greenfield, etc, who are without doubt legit. There are also many programs which cash in on the same idea, but are more so just incentive websites and the surveys they ask you to take are simply their sponsors.

    The model of these secondary survey sites are similar to the premium ones, and you do get paid for your actions... so I guess it's how you define a 'survey'.

    Yes, surveys do pay and many have paid me
    And you never have to pay to join them
    But one can only get some extra money from them. Like $100 per month if you are lucky

    There are a few scams here also.

    But the reputed companies like Brand Institute, Surveysavvy, Synovate, Lightspeed, NPD, Ipsos, Greenfiled, Surveys.com, NFO mysurvey, Pinecone, Surveyspot, American Consumer opinion, Globaltestmarket, Epoll, Harris Poll, Surveydirect, test and vote, valued opinions and many others will not scam you.
    As JP said there are many offers sites which pose as surveys, but they also generally stick to what is written in their TOS - so be careful about what you tick if you want to try those offers

    US, UK and Canada residents have more success with surveys.
    Others do get some, but not as many.
    And many get bored by taking surveys, but for some it is interesting

    http://www.internetpaidsurveys.com is a free paid survey review site where you can get useful information on surveys
