Get Paid for Surveys
Everyone would love to get paid for surveys. Well, maybe not everyone, but I certainly would. I love surveys; I take surveys for free all the time just for fun. Not only do I do any survey that anyone every asks me to do, but I’ll actually go looking for surveys to fill out online now and then when I’m bored. Okay, usually only when I’m really bored, but still. Call it strange, call it bizarre, call it what you will, but I just like answering questions in a multiple choice format. When I learned you can get paid for surveys I was therefore obviously very excited.
It is only partially true that you can get paid for surveys online. The vast majority of the sites you see while looking into ways to get paid for surveys are scams, however. These sites claim that they can set you up with enough paid surveys to make several thousands of dollars a month from the comfort of your own home. Others have slightly less ridiculous claims, but are nonetheless scams. Pretty much any site that asks you to pay them money and in return will provide you a list of ‘secret’ websites that offer paid surveys is a scam.
There are no ‘secret’ websites to get paid for surveys; every real site that offers surveys is publicly advertised and you don’t need to pay anyone to access them. The sites that do actually offer a way to get paid for surveys don’t usually pay in cash. If they do pay anything, it’s usually a coupon, or a gift certificate of some kind for one of their sponsors. There are occasionally cash prizes as well, but you almost never automatically make money for taking a survey. Instead, after completing a survey you are entered into a contest of sorts where you have a ‘chance’ to win some amount of cash.
As an example of a non-scam survey site, I often take the surveys given out by NPD Online Research. I do this just for fun, and while it is possible to win money for doing so I have yet to earn anything at all. So while it’s a great and tempting thought to get paid for surveys, the reality of it isn’t very promising. I’ve heard that if you are consistent with several survey sites over a long period of time, you do eventually start to make a small amount of money here and there, but it’s nothing like what the scam sites claim.
