Survey For Money Sites

Survey For Money Temptations

What would be cooler than to sit in a big, easy chair answering a bunch of silly multiple choice questions and getting cash for it? The idea of taking a survey for money is a very tempting and enticing one.

The idea of taking a survey for money is a very tempting and attractive one. What would be cooler than to sit there answering a bunch of silly multiple choice questions and getting paid for it? I actually kind of like surveys, and don't really mind doing them most of the time; taking a survey for money is therefore an interesting idea for me.

When I noticed a while back that the Internet is exploding with different sites that claim to be able to hook you up with enough paid surveys to retire on, I was certainly interested but very skeptical. Some of the claims these sites make suggest you can make many thousands of dollars a month doing nothing but taking surveys for a few hours a day. If it was so easy to make that much money doing next to nothing, why wouldn't everyone be taking surveys for money all the time? Why would anyone be cleaning toilets or designing operating systems for a living?

Indeed, upon doing a little more research I soon discovered that 99.9 percent of the survey for money sites are 99.9 percent scams. Reading complaints of people who paid for their services, I found that survey for money sites do in fact deliver you a list of sites that provide surveys but only rarely do these surveys yield any reward. When they do offer rewards, it is usually only a chance to win something, and not a guarantee. Cash rewards are even more rare; more often you get some kind of coupon or gift certificate that you may not even want.

Another funny catch about survey for money sites is that the lists they provide you with are available to anyone without paying. In other words, you can find all the sites they point you to on your own with some search engine work. Clearly, the survey for money idea is being exploited by some less than ethical folks trying to make a buck at your expense. Don't ever pay anyone for a list of survey for money sites!

Having said that, there are some genuine survey sites out there that you can take part in and possibly win something. One I like is the NPD Online Research group. Their surveys are short and easy, and I kind of like doing them if I've got a couple minutes to kill. I've yet to win any cash, and I don't think I ever will, but hey.
