Do Online Surveys make us any money?

    I wonder if the online surveys really make any money? Is there anyone out there experienced in making money through online surveys? Do they really pay or they just bluff u out? Is there anyone who has been successful with these? Please post your views and any good paying online survey sites.

    Thanks,
    Enigma.

    Yeah. There's some money to be made with them. The typical "survey site" is actually a GPT site these days (get paid to). Which pays members to do various things like surveys, offers, email/zip submits. It's not a way to make a killing. Unless you refer loads of people to the sites because they also pay you for referrals.

    I have a guide about these sites with tips if you wanna look at it.

    Thanks for the reply. But why do these sites offer so much money like get paid $50 per hour and stuff. I really wonder if we earn so much then why wouldn't the webmasters be doing that.

    Could you educate me further in choosing the good ones because most of them have paid membership and i doubt. It's not about paying them if we really earn but if it is some BS then i would loose my money for no reason n i'm worried about it.

    Any light??


    Thanks,

    some say that you can make $50 an hour and all that because they feel that there's a potential to do so. Plus it's more attractive obviously. For example, I made about $70 for about 3 hours my first day on one site.
    Don't do any sort of paid membership. Those types of sites just make you pay a fee and then give you a list of sites that pay that you could have found on the internet yourself without paying. I gave you the link to cashjuke.com where I have some reviews of sites I feel that pay best and are free

    Dude.. I've always seen you mentioning everywhere that working hard is the only way to success. I really agree to what you say. But the problem with newbies like me is that we see a lot of oportunities all over the net. But the problem comes when we have a tough time to choose on what we should be working. I'll better start a new thread so that everyone could discuss on this.

    Online surveys are not worth it. I have been a member of global test market for 3 years now and I haven't even reached the minimum payout.

    I don't know what crap surveys sites you all have tried but I'm talking about GPT sites. These sites pay you for doing offers, surveys and other stuff as well as paying you for referring people. GPT sites aren't a typical survey site that just ocassionally sends you a survey to your inbox and you make $3 a month. No, that's not what I'm talking about.

    The reason I support these sites is because your typical mom, teenager or whatever, simply cannot make money online with the ways a webmaster can. I said earlier that the normal GPTer won't make crazy amounts of cash but you can make hundreds a month. Some people even reach $1,000 in a month with the sites I'm talking about. Usually these sites are just great for extra cash.

    I tried online survey a few years back when I first started learning about Internet. Never made a single cent from there. I don't know what others have to say but it think it's not worth putting your effort in online survey hoping to earn some money.

    For me, i think the income could be slow for online paid survey. Just be aware, there are many scammers around in the internet evolving on work at home online related jobs.

    Just remember that you should never pay anyone upfront inorder for them to introduce you any job opportunities and you should be quite safe.

    Talking about online surveys , I have been member of many survey sites since last one and half years but not reached payout..
    even though I get around one or two mails each day that you can participate in an online survey for Rs 6.06 which would be credited into your account after 30 days if you successfully finish off the survey.

    I just hit the delete button in my mailbox for such mails ...
