How To Tell The Bad Paid Survey Sites From The Good

While you can find legitimate survey sites there are some scams out there to be aware of. Please keep in mind that for the most part the paid survey industry is completely legitimate. The problem is that there are some unscrupulous people out there trying to take advantage of those who are uninformed. Here are three tips that will help to keep you away from the questionable areas of paid surveys.

First: Don't ever pay for membership to a paid survey site. Not EVER! You shouldn't even have to give away your email address to get access or membership with a site. All of the information you need regarding paid surveys and the companies offering them is available on the internet for FREE. Market research companies are the ones who pay you to take the surveys and the legitimate ones will NEVER ask you to pay to take a survey. It would make their results biased and they take a very negative stance regarding sites that require you to pay them to access a list of paying survey sites. Even though the sites that ask you to pay for membership may claim to have "secrets about taking surveys" or "special access to member only surveys" that simply isn't true. I've never heard of a market research company that wants to limit it's access to survey respondents by limiting themselves like this.

Second: NEVER give out your email address or pay for access to a database of paid surveys. This is the same tactic as above used just to take your money or email address without providing you ANY additional value. It is possible to find out about all of the market research companies that offer paid surveys for free on the internet. If someone wants to charge you for access to a database or requires you to register for access to a database of paid surveys sites click the BACK button on your browser right away!

Third: Avoid Get Paid To (GPT) sites that are posing as survey sites. You'll recognize these because rather than asking you question in a survey type format they will require that you sign up for offers with other companies to get paid. These GPT programs can be very profitable, but they also require additional monitoring and special care. Some of the offers they ask you to sign up for will have recurring membership charges buried in the fine print and you can suddenly find that you are being charged hundreds of dollars for products and services you have no need of. If you want to do GPT's make sure you keep a complete record of EVERYTHING you sign up for and when you need to cancel it before they bill you.

By far the majority of paid survey sites are legitimate, but it never hurts to keep your eyes open when trying to make money on the internet. One other thing to remember when you're trying to make money with paid surveys�
