Yes you can make money doing surveys...but it is a complete waste of time. You can spend your time doing other things and make far more. On top of that, the survey companies keep over 50% commission and totally rip you off. Its like you are basically working for them.
You, but basically, you get like $2-$3 but you have to qualify first in order to take them. It's a waste of time.
I tried this route for a little bit and found it very slow to make money. You can make money but it wasn't worth the time for me.
