    Hi ,
    Does anyone here know about paid to take survey programs .
    What is the amount you get and did you get paid ?

    All I know is they pay you for filling a survey send in email .
    Anyone can throw more light here ?

    Regards

    My wife does harris polls for points. They used to be easier to get the points, but it's not as great anymore. She just likes doing it.

    She does others for points too I believe, none for cash.

    I've seen the ads for this all over the place. I've always passed them up because I figured I would end up spending a couple hours mulling away on these surveys only to find out I have to do this, that and the other thing to get to the next step for payment, and then just get the run-around... It would be very interesting to see if people are actually getting paid by these companies... C'mon people, there has to be somebody that's tried them...?

    Some are legitimate but making sure if they are reliable or not is a big question.

    Legitimate paid surveys are all free to join
    They reward you with cash or gifts for survey participation
    Some also enter you into sweepstakes, but they are less preferred than cash paying sites
    Some of the best ones are surveysavvy, globaltestmarket, ACOP, Ciao, NFO survey, Greenfield, NPD, Lightspeed, Ipsos, Pinecone, Surveys.com, Netratings, Opinion outpost. your2cents, brand institute
    The panels which you can join depends on your country of residence.

    I looked into this one time from a newspaper ad.....even converesed with the owner......most want initial pay before they start giving you surveys that claim to make you great money.....it didn't seem legite but there are legite ones out there but is it worth the research to find out.......depends on the payout i'd worry to see if someone else has had success in one of them before jumping in

    As I said your chances depend mostly on your country.
    Best earning opportunities are if you are from USA. Residents of Canada, UK, Australia have good chances. For others the opportunities are less.
    Anyway, this is not going to make you rich. You can only earn some extra cash.

    I thought about offering paid surveys so I tried one or two myself for a few months.

    In general, I did not find that pay to be work the number of hours spent taking the surveys. If you like doing it, then it is nice to get a few bucks for something you enjoy doing...otherwise I would say there are a lot better ways to spend your time.

    For myself, I would avoid any survey that rewards you by giving you a "chance to win" something. Odds are you won't (but...I did try one in the couple of months I played with the surveys and I actually won $5 for the effort...go figure).

    I signed up with SurveyScout.com to get access to their list. There is a money-back guarantee which I took advantage of as I realized that most of the sites they listed were of the "sweepstakes" variety. The promptly refunded my money.

    My advice is that if you are looking for a money-maker, this is not the way to do it.

    well i had tried they......If you notice they always have a limit which you need to reach b4 they send out a check. Initially a lot of emails are sent. When you near the limit the mails just trickle in and they just stop. Or they send a mail stating that things were not done right or something. There are very few ppl. who have earned. This the site does just to gain popularity and is an advertising gimmick.

    I've tried gozing.com in the past. They do pay (via paypal) but they're really slow.. it could take up to 2 months just to recieve your dollar.. but it is legit.

    Their surveys vary from $1 - $3 per survey (some are short, just 15 minutes or so) but they come unfrequently

    ok.. there is a true & false about paid survey.
    yes, indeed there is paid survey. and not to expect too high or 100-200 per survey. indeed, a formal or site survey paid more than email survey.
    they will email u the entry form. and u need to go for participation

    hope this help.

    clickbank is a good place to search from. Y? u are covered by clickbank 60 days money back guarantee. not satisfied, or not as ads, then file for a refund.
    i recommend to 1 of my client, seem OK until now.
