Make Money Taking Surveys - A Career or a Scam?

By Adrian Evans

In this day and age most people are aware that you can make money taking surveys, but not everyone knows how much you can actually make doing money surveys. I was really becoming burnt out in my last job with the long hours of traveling that comes with a sales career; not to mention I was missing the my son's toddler years. I wanted a better life and at first I had a real tough time finding ways to make money working from home. After several months of searching, I came across a review similar to this one. This review was written by a man in a position very similar to mine that had been able to make quite a good income earning money for surveys online. He was making $2900 a month for just a few hours of work a day from his lake front cottage. At first I thought it was too good to be true, and in most cases it is, however, there are some real companies out there that compensate well for participating in money surveys.

Companies need product feedback in order to provide a higher quality product for consumers, and employees at these companies don't have time or budget to be setting up booths and running around with a clipboard. The fact of the matter is that the internet is the cheapest way for these companies to achieve this.

Having said that I'm not referring to money surveys websites that allow you to sign up for free. On the surface this offer sounds tempting, however, these survey sites offer surveys from fly-by-night often marketing focused companies, rather then companies doing legitimate research that will pay for accurate customer data. What you will often find with free survey sites is that the represented company's mandate is to retrieve your personal data for their marketing purposes rather then providing legitimate surveys.

There are some great programs available that pay you well for your opinion of real products. The most reputable money survey websites include:

- Membership Fee: Any real company is going to require at least a small initial membership fee. No matter how bad you want there to be a legit free sign-up money for surveys website, it truly is impossible for that to happen. Any company looking for consumers to take a product review survey is going to want real, honest people who are not just going to randomly answer every question. The membership fee allows the survey website to provide only the better surveys and weed out people who are just looking for a quick buck, rather than an honestly earned paycheck.

- Large Companies: If your money for surveys company is legitimate, they are going to have a number of large name clients. Many of these companies have names such as Coca Cola, Taco Bell, Verizon, and Burger King on their client list. You won't see any of these large names on any of the free paid survey websites. That is because none of these large companies would trust their data to a survey company with a less than trustworthy screening process.

Money surveys can also be a fun way to express your opinion and it is possible to make a good living taking surveys from the right programs. I would recommend, however, to combine this survey program with other proven work at home programs (some on site highlighted in footer) as diversification is important from both a multiple revenues streams perspective and to keep your mind stimulated with a diverse set of daily tasks and challenges.
