Do you really get paid to answer surveys?

Discussion in 'General Marketing' started by azulita, Nov 17, 2013.

    Hi, I had seen so many websites that says to join and get paid by answering surveys but is that true?
    Have you done that?
    If you have experience with surveys and if is true, can you tell me reliable sites where I can sign up?

    Thanks =)

    This is waste of time, according to me it is not a real way of making money online, anything you do online, make sure you are thinking how others would get benefited from your work.... it makes sense... survey sites also pay money but it is a little, unless you are from the USA, your survey may not be considered as well.

    I got paid $3 for doing a review of an app.

    Check out UserTesting.com

    They pay via PayPal & it's legit.

    The issue is that some of the jobs are very targeted (e.g. Must be from Ireland).

    Applicable jobs come once in a blue moon.

    It's just data mining and waste of time IMO. I think most of the sites are fly by night and will not pay you.

    Many times they will make the survey look like it just crashed at the very end so you cannot complete it and you do not get paid. Or they will just say "give us your address we will send you a check"(which you never receive) or they just don't pay you and there is nothing you can do about it.

    It depends. I personally think all survey sites are false and none of them will ever pay you a fine or nickle it's better if you try to just do posting on forum for money. Most times they get the person doing the survey by making it look like it crashed near the end or by not allowing you to continue after your done with it allowing you to be paid. It's just pure b.s

    I've been a member of People Panel for several years now. They're legit. I get paid $1 $5 or $20 for every survey they send me. It's all through the mail, so I just open up their letter and there's cash and a survey in it. In short, yeah you can get paid to do surveys. You can't make a living off if it though. Any site that says otherwise is probably gonna scam you.

    Actually survey sites be used for product review. when someone got any review or survey result positive then they also got idea about product is good or bad. that's why people feel interest , especially product owner wants to do a survey of his product. and i found some site like legitimate paid surveys is true survey site. and they pay also.

    That is some of the higher payments I've heard of for filling out/participating in surverys online. I did try some surveys some time back but they didn't reach payout or some other silly reason. Well, I am not a fan of surveys but I will surely give People Panel a try.

    Yes pal agree with you. Never saw a cent of any payment from surveys. Also, averyz is right about the software crashing near the end :D

    I have personally earned more than $100 completing surveys. There are many sites. However, the catch is that you will not quality for many of these sites and surveys because most paid surveys target American population. I was able to earn only because I was in the USA for over a year and had opportunity to qualify these surveys.

    I think that there are a few legitimate ones out there, but mostly no I don't think you actually do get paid to answer surveys. Usually the websites promise a high payout per survey but they make you go through so many hoops before you can even get your money you end up giving up before the money is even able to be paid out. I personally wouldn't recommend it if you are looking for ways to make money online as there are many other better methods of doing so.

    You can get paid for completing surveys online, However, if you want to make serious money online answering surveys follow these simple guidelines. 1. Do a Google Search for survey companies. ( I have never had pay issues with marketing research firms in regards to pay, Read the terms and conditions to ensure that you will be paid something per completed survey.) 2. Join 10 online marketing research firms. 3. Do as many surveys as you can daily. ( When I was answering surveys I was working full time and spending about 7 hours a day to answering surveys in my off time and would spend about 17 hours a day on the weekends. I made about $40/mo answering surveys) This was my first experience making money online in 2009. I then transitioned into affiliate marketing in 2010. Good Luck To You!
