    getting paid for surveys online

    Has anyone tried this before?

    i found this www.surveyjob.net and it seems neat. I searched ripoffreports and bbb and found nothing bad about them, but i havent found anything good either. It seems reputable but who knows. I do have to pay 24.95 up front which isnt that big of a deal but im skeptical...

    Im feeling naiive today.

      Re: getting paid for surveys online

      i dont have time to get a regular job right now, but surveys online...seems neat! Besides I read superfast so i usually do surveys rather quickly as it is (the stupid ones for myspace, etc etc).

      I just want to find something about them online that says they arent ok but i cant find jack!

        I'd email them to start with and see how long it takes for a response. If it takes more than 48 hours for a response, I wouldn't trust them. Its not much to go on I know, but at least its something.

        If it does work out for you, let us know!

            I did get suckered into that shit about 6-7 years ago looking for some easy quick money. Stay away. You'll never see a dime.

              My guess is that they will sell you a list of websites where you can sign up to do surveys for some nominal reward, like:

              e-Rewards is a survey community that rewards your opinions. Take surveys, earn points and redeem them from the widest range of rewards.



              I signed up for both of these a while back out of curiosity to see what they were all about (I do consumer protection law, so I'm sorta on the lookout for scams). E-rewards does give you opportunities to earn pretty frequently, but you are "paid" in coupons or frequent flyer miles. Mysurvey.com will pay you cash, but the opportunities to do surveys are sporadic, and even if you were getting enough that you could do it full-time, you would end upon making about $1-2 an hour, tops.

              Point is, it isn't a source of real income. If you like doing surveys, they do offer some pretty interesting ones at times, you can get previews of products before they hit the market, and over time, you can earn some shit that might make for a nice bonus. Don't do it if you're doing it because you think you'll actually make money, though...

                some of these programs are legit and you can earn some money...the thing is, you have to be into a few programs at once to get enough rolling to get a reasonable amount; no one or 2 basic programs are going to pay you enough to quit your job

                There's a lot of GPT programs out there these days...from reading ads to surveys to this, that and the other thing...

                As for ripoffreport, I find that it's twofold: some are legit scams that people fell into, but other reviews are mere morons who didn't follow instructions, or were to naive and didn't get out what they had hoped for.

                    Your better off trading energy futures online...or the e-minis. Just make sure you use some tight stops and keep your losses to a minimum. Maybe take a look into using the 1 and 2 minute moving averages and watch them crossover for potential buy/sell signals.

                    I hear people that are arbitraging the spread on rates are making a killing...

                      not worth it, they make money off of you by charging the one time fee
