You know those sites that claim you can make money by taking online surveys?
Does anyone actually do this? And make money for it?
Or is it another trick to get your email?
Hey Cindee, don’t go with those offers suggested in the answers with the link to the blogspots… they are working with affiliate schemes so if you are enticed to join and pay for services the person who the link belongs to will get a healthy comission from it.
There are many scams out there. The surveys one isn’t really a scam. Those asking for money to tell you where to find the best surveys are a scam. But companies will pay you to take surveys, but most pay really badly. For example ciao have 10 minute surveys, they only pay 10p most of the time. Lightspeed panel are supposed to be okay. My mate got £20 Amazon vouchers from them. He also sent off for $100 cheques from Global Test Markets but don’t think he’s got those yet. But, it’s really more work than its worth in my opinion, unless you really have too much time and want to make every minute count for a bit of cash.
I pay for trading advice… basically I pay a monthly fee and a guys sends out and text when a trade is placed. The by email he sends the details of the trade and we put it through. Some you lose, but some you win… I’ve actually made a good profit, recently lost a large chunk due to a string of losses, but for the 4 months I’ve been doing it I’m in the green. But these things cannot really replace the day job (trading can once you have a large enough pot to trade with).
But be careful before going through with these schemes. The only reason why I went with the trading service was because it was backed by a respectable company and I know someone who joined a trial and got their money back after pulling out within the gurantee period.
Hope this helps and answers your question.
How funny that Carly responded that 99.9% are scams…and then tried to recruit you!
You can make money doing focus groups and surveys. However, you have to fit the right demographic for those.
You can make money in business opportunities, MLMs etc. People make money. People lose money.
Look at it this way…most small businesses fail within their first 5 years. That’s true for traditional brick & mortar businesses, as well as internet ones.
To Dr. E-Nasty, Carly’s just a spammer who is either copying and pasting the same thing over or using an automated poster. Same with the other person.
Now, about online jobs. I don’t exactly call what I do a job, but I do make money from it. I use GPT sites. You do simple things like filling out surveys and completing offers, and you get paid for it.
Here’s a link to the sites I use, everything is explained more in-depth: http://www.cashjuke.com/best-paying-gpt-sites.html
There are legitimate survey companies. If you suspect a company is solely after your email address, create a gmail account for free. I created a gmail account specifically for the survey notifications. Im glad I did, as the number of survey requests now totals 10-20 per day, and the mailbox just gets too full. I simply delete the ones that dont pay much and go for the larger paying surveys.
You can definately make money from legitimate urvey companies.
The site I use lists all the FREE paying survey companies that are legitimate and are not scams.

no they work, well the good ones anyway. If you need cash I have some free survey sites that I’ve been doing for over a year now just check out my profile by clicking my name or email me at lancesurveys@hotmail.com for them I can’t post it here cause I don’t want to get reported. I only give sites that I’ve been paid by so you have my word that you won’t get scammed. They’re reliable and I’ve never had a problem with them. You won’t get rich but they definitely help with bills
