Taking paid surveys online has a lot of benefits.
You get paid for giving your opinion on many different topics such as television shows, movies, etc.
However one of my favorite benefits is the chance to try new products out before they ever hit the shelves! There are some tips you need to know if you are just venturing into the world of paid surveys.
1.
All real survey sites are free to join.
There is never a fee to join a paid survey site.
If you run across a site asking for a fee to join, you are not really at consumer research type of site.
2.
You will not make hundreds of dollars a day taking surveys.
If you are at a website promising you will make lots of money, you are not at a real survey site.
3.
Real paid survey sites never ask you to complete offers in order to get paid or win a prize.
These are known as "offer sites" or "gpt (get paid to) sites" but they are not real survey sites.
So how do you find the real paid survey sites? Do a quick search for "free survey list" and you will find a few good free survey sites.
Another quick search on those sites will allow you to find out which ones are reputable and good.
If you belong to any online message boards or forums, chances are good that you already know someone who is taking surveys online.
Ask around and see if you can get any good feedback.
This can be a tricky proposition.
There are a lot of spammers who will answer you with links to their "favorite survey sites".
Before taking their advice, check to see how many posts they have.
If they have only a few, chances are good they are just spamming the board looking for hits.
Take the advice of the people you know and trust on those forums.
With a little searching and common sense you can start taking paid surveys online and have a lot of fun doing it!
