Legitimate Online Survey Sites
How to Find Legitimate Survey Sites
There are many tasty apples in the paid survey barrel, but a few are rotten. Learn how to separate the good from the bad.
Many people dream of making money from home by completing online surveys, but it can sometimes be difficult to find legitimate survey sites. Like any other work at home opportunity, the survey business does have its share of scam artists. However, there are a few tips you can use to learn how to spot these bad apples and find legitimate survey sites that provide an honest chance to earn the extra cash you need.
A poorly designed website is one of the first red flags to look for when searching for survey sites. Since the business community understands the importance of a professionally-designed website that is easy to use and navigate, a paid survey site that appears to have been created as part of the owner's nephew's high school project is a definite indication that the company is not very reliable. A legitimate business cares about the image it presents to potential customers.
The best survey sites will always have a privacy policy that explains how the company plans to use your e-mail address and other personal information. Since surveys are conducted as market research, you'll be asked to provide your age, occupation, geographical location, place of employment, and other demographic details. You don't want to do business with a company that will sell or distribute this information without your permission.
Legitimate survey sites will provide detailed information about their activities so you can make an informed decision about whether or not to participate. If the survey site doesn't have a list of answers to frequently asked questions or seems to offer only vague details about what is expected of participants, think twice before signing up.
Although some survey sites do charge money in exchange for a membership, a survey site that has a fee for participation should clearly explain what you can expect to receive in return for your investment. The survey site should also describe the company's refund policy or money back guarantee.
Legitimate survey sites place a high priority on providing top-notch customer service. These paid survey programs make it easy for participants to call or e-mail the company if they have questions or need assistance completing a survey. If the survey site doesn't have its contact information prominently displayed, ask yourself whether or not the company has something to hide.
In addition to the criteria mentioned above, you can also check out survey sites by seeing if the Better Business Bureau has any complaints on file regarding the company in question. Since no company is perfect, one complaint doesn't necessary mean that the survey site is a scam. However, several similar complaints filed within a short time frame provide a clear indication of questionable business practices.

Online Survey Review
In my own research I have found that there are literally thousands of websites promoting what they claim to be the best online survey sites. Many of the sites will claim that you should never pay to gain access to the survey companies but should instead always go to the free databases which they will gladly give you access to as long as you give them your name and web address so they can sell you something else late.
What is the average person looking to make some extra cash with the least amount of complications to do? Well I’m glad you asked!
Let’s start by laying some groundwork. Don’t let anyone tell you how to make money online. It is OK to get opinions and ideas from other people but always do your own due diligence. It is imperative that you check out the opportunity, no matter what it is, before you jump in with both feet and end up drowning in a flood of complicated nonsense that will waste both your time and money and won’t make you a dime. If you haven’t guessed by now, I am speaking from personal experience.
Now lets talk basics; online surveys are a great opportunity to make extra money but not something that will make you an instant millionaire! Need to cover this month’s car payment? No problem. How about the mortgage payment? We can swing it! Of course it will depend on how much time and effort you put into filling out and submitting the surveys as you must build a track record in order to be offered some of the higher paying surveys.
The next thing we want to consider is which online survey company should we sign up with. You have two choices, a free site or a paid site. I think you should check both of them out before you make your decision but my own personal preference is to go with a reputable paid survey site where you pay a small one time fee of usually $30.00 to $40.00 to gain access to a prescreened database of solid survey companies that will pay you to give your opinion on online surveys and opinion polls.
If you choose a good site it will also have related opportunities as listed above for Mystery Shopping and Online Data Entry jobs. The great thing about the paid sites is they offer customer support; tips to help you get started with your online survey business, and free bonuses that are worth several times the price of admission. The site that I will be reviewing in the next paragraph also has a way for you to make most of your membership fee back in about 15 minutes!
Review of Paid Surveys Online Website
- Paid Surveys Online is one of the original paid survey sites and still ranks as one of the top sites in sales. This is an indication that a lot of people find their service useful.
- They tend to focus on listing the better quality research companies in their databases and recently have increased the volume of companies to over 70.
- Paid Surveys Online generally select research companies that are proven to be reliable with payments; very important to anyone who does not want to waste their valuable time to get paid out with only gift certificates.
- Paid Surveys Online is good about providing companies that offer survey respondents a fair amount of compensation for the amount of time and effort required for each paid survey.
- Paid Surveys Online offers many free bonuses not provided by the others such as an instant $25.00 survey. Customer support is excellent and there is also a lot of useful information and help to be found on the Paid Surveys Online site. This is without a doubt one of the top paid survey sites.
In conclusion the important thing here is to make sure you do your homework and check out as many online survey sites as you possibly can before making your decision. Take your time in choosing but please don’t get paralysis of analysis :>) there are some legitimate survey companies out there and it will be one of the easiest ways you can imagine to make some extra spending cash.

Are Online Paid Surveys a Waste of Time? A Review from a Regular Earner of Online Paid Surveys
By Tom Sullivan
Online Paid Surveys. A hugely popular way to work from home and earn money online.
The Quickest and simplest way to start earning big amounts for completing online surveys is to become a member of one of the more popular survey companies like Paid Surveys Online or Survey Scout. These sites will give you a comprehensive list of hundred's of the biggest survey companies out there and you can join as many or as few as you wish. You can obviously not pay to become a member of these companies and hunt down the individual survey sites yourself and join up for free, but this process will take a very long time and you won't know which surveys you are completing are legitimate, as in 'will you get paid'. Be wary with some 'Free Paid Survey Companies' as they will probably spam you or are just out to get referral commissions. Those paid survey services are no good because they may sell your email and you would be inundated with Spam. By joining Survey Scout or Paid Surveys Online, you know that these companies have been vetted and therefore no risk of this.
Now obviously, the more survey companies you join, the more money that you can earn. You can earn up to $150 a survey. That's right! Very big money for completing an online paid survey. Be aware though, that you will not receive the big surveys straight away. They like to see that people who request paid surveys are legitimate and reliable and will start off by sending you a few small ones. Once you complete these and they see that you are a trustworthy sort, then the big ones will start arriving. Online Paid Surveys are a very interesting and a very easy job. Anyone that has access to the internet and emails can do surveys online and get paid and all you have to do is decide when to complete the online paid surveys and which surveys you want to do yourself.
Online Paid Surveys are a fantastic way to earn online but don't expect to earn loads immediately. The survey companies want to see if you are loyal and once you have completed a few small ones, you will be sent bigger surveys to complete with bigger paychecks. If you are looking for some supplemental income and enjoy giving your opinion, then they are an excellent source of income and fun. The popular Paid Surveys Online & Survey Scout are excellent as they have all the legitimate online survey sites all in one place, (which saves you hunting them all down and not getting paid by some of the more 'dodgy' survey sites out there), plus they have a mass of hints, tips & info. Check them out now and get your opinion out there.
