    Yes, I am. I get several from Global Test Market almost every day. I let many of them expire as I am too busy doing other things, but I still do them fairly often. GTM will sometimes say you are not qualified after asking 2 or 3 initial questions but they do give you 25 cents - (credited to your account) just for trying and it only takes a few seconds.

    American Consumer is a little slower and Survey Savvy maybe once or twice a month.

    NFO and Lightspeed have the been the best for me but they are US & Canada only.

    Different survey companies pay by different methods. Global Test Market pays by check.

    Yeah, I would guess that a high 95% or more of all the survey sites on the net are scams, especially those ones that ask you to pay to join.

    All the companies at http://www.earncashforsurveys.com are legit and completely frr to join

    Yes, that is my site, but that doesnt take anything away from what I have said about paid surveys.

    A couple years ago I was talking to my sister on ICQ and she was telling me about paid surveys and I thought that she was crazy. Then one day while I was at her house visiting she got a check in the mail and showed it to me. That sparked my interest. She was doing NFO My Survey. Then she logged into her account and showed me her earnings and there happened to be a survey and she did it to show me how it worked.

    So, I started searching the net for other paid survey sites. I figured if there was one that was legit there must be more. That was when I found out that there are thousands of different sites about paid surveys. I joined everything I could find that was free. Unfortunately most all of them were scams or just tricks to get your email address at best. Over the next couple years I learned which ones were legitimate (not very many).

    If you doubt my word because I own the site that is up to you. Go to someone elses site. I only have the legit ones here, I could have a lot more if I included the scams and make a lot of commissions from sending people to scam sites BUT I choose not to do that.

    I spent a lot of time researching and participating in paid surveys to learn that these few are worthwhile. Anyone who visits the site gains the benefit of my experience and gets to avoid all the scams that are out there.

    I have looked at kentuckyslone's site, and I can vouch that survey sites listed there are all legit. Yes, I do have a site of my one, but that's not to say you shouldn't give credit, where credit is do. I respect the policy of only listing quality paid market research panels, as I follow the same motto, and yes it does take research and time to distinguish the good panels from the bad. I believe sites that do not charge fees for survey information, have reviews, and only list quality panels are much better than "other Sites" that list hundreds of useless panels and try to charge for it.

    I dob't think there is anything wrong with collecting affiliate fees, if you provide free and quality content for your readers.

    Sad to say many are a waist of time. But there are a few legitimate ones.

    In my experience, most of them were a waste of time. Overall I think the payment was equivalent of $4-6 per hour. Not the $50 all those sites promise...

    Just stay away from any survey directories that cost $35 to access.

    I put what I learned into a free ebook a while ago - http://levibloom.com/onlinesurveys

    I did surveys for awhile and in my opinion waste of my time. Though you can make Legit money from them, it will just take time to find the best sources and learn the best system to make money from them.

    good luck,

    If a so-called survey site asks you for any money at all then they are a scam. My warning to everyone who may read this is Never fall victim to paying for a survey membership or information.

    Legitimate survey companies pey you - you do not pay them :D
