Anyone Ever Make Any Money With Paid Surveys?

INTERNET MARKETING

Just curious if there are any real paid survey companies out there. Has anyone ever made any money taking online surveys? Where did you find the surveys? I am looking to try and make some extra money $300-$500/month and was thinking of trying the paid survey route, but seems like all the ones I find just give you the runaround from filling out one survey to another offer before it is considered compete. And I am not looking to sign up for free trails either. I just want to answer some questions about products or companies for a small compensation. Does anything like this exists?

Thanks,
Ken

You can make some money with it but it's not really something that can replace your job. Usually not even enough to replace a second job.

Jonathan Mizel made millions with this product.

It was one of two products he created that allowed for conversions with almost any kind of traffic. He just poured raw untargeted traffic in the funnel and money poured out the other end.

I don't know if it the product actually makes any buyers any money, but it made it's creator literally millions.

Greenfield online, and survey spot are a couple good ones.

But most you will not qualify for. I agree with hpgood boy.

Try your hand at affiliate marketing and make some real money.

I think you're barking up the wrong tree if you want to make $300-$500/mnth. Paid surveys generally have made the Clickbank paid survey companys rich ... not the people who buy into it. While there may be a few around that are legit, I certainly don't know of any and the bulk of them are scams.

usually they dont pay all that much for surveys and if you ask me its quite time consuming. If I only have to do one I start to get annoyed and bored after 1 minute already lol but thats personal. Anyways I do not think that 300 to 500 dollars is realistic when filling out surveys only.

I tried paid surveys - didn't find many that paid - some would enter you into a contest to possibly win some money. I found it to be a huge waste of time.

Tried this when I was just starting out. I made about $10 which I didn't get because I had to reach a $100 threshold before payout.

Most of the surveys were very time consuming for minimal payout. You're better off finding a par-time job than trying to make money with this method.

If it sounds too good to be true it probably is. If it were worthwhile there would be lines of people to compete with. You'd be much better off dedicating your time to a long term business plan, in my opinion.

  I searched in vain too, once.
  
  The general consensus here being: forget it. Seriously.
  
  If you have a tight budget, Squidoo is a great way to start earning. But do reinvest those earnings by building your own sites:p

When I first started making money online I started with surveys. I made a bit of money but it's definitely not a regular income and it can be long and boring for not much return. Some of them were interesting and I got money, vouchers and gifts but I wouldn't do it again.

You can make some money, but it's more work than it is worth. Most people end up getting scammed. You could easily do $300 per month writing articles. I suggest you do that for the immediate returns but continue to research affiliate marketing, list building etc which will pay better/passively in the long run.

  Personally, I've found (and I've only done a few) that when you spend 5 minuets filling out personal information in multitudes of fields..they find some dumb reason why you don't qualify.
  
  Also, I think that many of these paid-survey sites start out legit, but eventually stop paying and "go scam." Like others are saying...invest some time here reading and you'll be able to do much better than surveys.
  
  Thanks

  I was signed up for Greenfield for awhile. Made a little bait money, but got tired of filling out a survey and being told I didn't qualify for the paid version.
  
  If you fit the right demographics, you might make enough for an occasional pizza, but that's about it...

  I actually just received $10 to my paypal from Opinion Outpost. I started with them during the summer. Majority of the time they will email you about a great survey thats worth a nice amount of points & once they get you to the site you'll spend 5 minutes on a survey that says you're not eligible - then they'll direct you to one thats extra long and only worth 5 points. The only reason why I kept doing it was because I had somehow got 90 points, so I did what I could to get 100 to get the ten bucks!
  
  Waste of time!
  
  Thanks

I tried this years ago as well, thinking it would be a nice way to earn a few bucks here and there. Well that here and there took way too long for a few dollars. My final payout was so little that I didn't even bother to cash it out.

I think an online survey is a waste of time period.
Try some IM which does not require you to own a website. Clickbank/Amazon products are nice, drive traffic to your products using a facebook fanpage. Make sure you watch the commission rate of the advertiser before picking a particular product and try to find out if its a hot niche

I have earned money with surveysavvy but I wouldn't advise you to spend your time taking the surveys, try to find more profitable ways to earn online.

Taking survey can no doubt earn you money online, but it's just so little that you can only prolly take your kids to macdonald's breakfast once a month.

Not worth the time + it's boring!

Trying something more interesting like affiliate marketing, blogging, setting up your own business website - something that will keep you running when you're feeling down. Not something like taking surverys

God Bless,
Jeremiah
