Is there a LEGITIMATE Online Paid Survey?

15 replies
I've heard about online paid surveys. And I've searched on the internet looking to find a legit paid survey. But I can't seem to find one.All I see are load-full of SCAMS. Are they really for real?

Can you please give a LEGITIMATE online paid survey that I could try out? I've read somewhere that it can actually provide decent income. Is it true? I really want to know. Thanks for the help!

    I've never heard of anyone making a decent income at paid surveys, most I've heard someone making is a couple hundred bucks per month.. most of the surveys pay very little in my experience and hearing others experience's.

    Getting paid loads of money for filling in surveys is wishful thinking I'm afraid.

    Were it a lucrative prospect, countless people would be doing it, which would then drive down the amount of money you got paid for it. See what I'm getting at there?

    The only people making bank from this are the people that sell guides on how to do the surveys and their affiliates.

    Just think what you're doing. You're trying to sell your opinions. No offense, as mine aren't worth a damn either, but nobody will pay much for the opinions of a random person.

    And if you are enough of an expert that people WILL pay you for your opinion on a particular topic, monetise that through a website or a book.

    Survey Savvy are genuine and pay well. The last one they sent me was for $20 and it took about 15 mins.

    However the survey are infrequent so not something you can reply upon. I signed up with them in 2005 and doubt i get more than one per month which i actually qualify for.

    I've never heard of any online paid surveys that would allow you to make a decent income, no (excluding the claims in promotional materials, of course).

    You should start looking at other ways to make money online, in my opinion. If you want to succeed, be prepared to put in some real work and build a business over time. It's not easy, or everyone in the world would be doing it.

    I've tried pretty much every survey site I could get my hands on after I found this list. If you decide to try some out, in the end you'll realise that they're just not worth your time. $1 for a half hour survey? You could make tripple that cleaning toilets haha

    thanks for the heads up, guys.. it definitely saved me a lot of trouble from searching for legit paid surveys on the web.. I've read about it a couple of times before. I thought it was too good to be true,I'm right after all. I guess, i'll opt for affiliate marketing... Thanks!

    While I've heard of a few, I've never actually seen one. The people who make money from online paid surveys are the ones selling the crap.

    Yes, there are so many. GTM, Pinecone a few to name..

    Paid surveys are not get rich quick programs. It is for sharing your opinions and get paid for your views. A few hundreds extra $$. That's it.

    I'm with honest rewards a UK based survey site. They pay okay (equal to national minimum wage) when you break it down to per hour rates for your time.

    Surveys are infrequent though. I've been with them a month and only had £9.60~ worth of surveys. Minimum withdrawal amount is £15. I hope they don't just cut me off before I meet thewithdrawal threshold.

    Universities post surveys on mTurk. They don't pay much though, usually (way) under $1 each.
