can you really make money by participating in online surveys?

if you do surveys thru http://vr.harrispollonline.com/main.asp they will give you points for each survey you take and the points go towards items that you choose that are shipped to your house for free.  it takes a little while to get to the good stuff, but it's completely legit and you don't even need a credit card number.

SOME, but not ALL surveys pay you to take them, and they would send the money to you after you put in your personal address. If you want to know HOW they get the money, they do from the people they're giving the survey out for.

I agree with the previous answer, that it is possible to get paid for completing a survey.  \n\nBut I think you are probably referring to ads in the classified that promise you that you can get paid taking surveys or doing data entry from home (or stuffing envelopes, which is another common one). \n\nThe bottom line is that many of these have been known to be fraudulent.  Often they are trying to get YOU to buy into whatever scheme there is.  If you are asked to pay money, that should be your first clue.\n\nYou may be able to get paid for taking *A* survey, but can you make a living from it?  I doubt it.\n\n\nTo research, look at this:  http://www.findpaidsurveys.org/?OVRAW=get%20paid%20to%20take%20surveys&OVKEY=get%20paid%20to%20take%20survey&OVMTC=standard .  It's a site that tries to warn you about the illegit paid survey sites.  Then they go and try to sell you something!  Doesn't that sound even fishier?  They gain credibility by WARNING of fraud.  Pretty sneaky!  (I can't comment on whether the offers on this site is legit or not.  I'm just commenting to be aware of wasting your money, and just because someone warns you of fraud, it does not make them legit!)\n\nNow read:  http://jobsearchtech.about.com/od/jobs/a/paid_surveys_2.htm\n\nAnd do a search for "paid surveys scam", like http://www.google.com/search?hs=ryS&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=paid+surveys+scam&btnG=Search\n\nScams are rampant in this area!  Don't waste your money - even $30.  If companies are desperate to get you to take a survey, I'm sure you can find them on the web WITHOUT paying a middle man $30.

There are lots of ways to earn money at home with a very small or even no investment. One way is by doing on line surveys. While these may not always pay a lot of money for each survey, the supply of available surveys is endless so the more time you invest the more money you can make. In addition, while many do pay cash, a lot of the surveys taken will provide free product for testing and free gift cards. \n\nBelow is a sample link and you can do a broad search for these by typing in 'paid on line surveys'. One thing to be careful is that while many of these require no investment on your part, there are also a good many that will want an upfront fee. Until you had experience in taking these surveys I would not recommend making any investments or at least keep them very minimal.\n\nhttp://www.couponmom.com/index.php?cid=88\n\n\nHappy Hunting !!

I think it's hard to make much $ from those.  I got a free subscription to Fhm magazine. That was my best "take." But good luck, it can keep you from bein bored. Some surveys offer reward points.  Surveyscout.com gets you started for a fee. Tons of emails will come if you answr.  You might try mysurvey.com but that just gave me a deadend. good luck.

Don't waste your money or your time with online surveys, none of them pay but they usually want you to send them a start up fee anywhere from $9.95 to $50.00 to join and be paid. These are all scams. I learned the hard way.

Hi Saakshi,\n\nThis is a topic that I have studied in much detail over the past 3 years. There are ALOT of ways to make money online, however, the moment you log on to the internet you are bombarded by ALOT of different sites telling you how to make money and that you`ll be a millionaire overnight. It takes time to filter out the crap from the genuine income generating programs. \n\nI have researched literally thousands of the different offers I'm sure you see every day on the internet. You could spend a fortune trying all these different business opportunities out for yourself. I did and believe me 95% of them didn't work but now I'm making quite a bit using a number of different websites. \n\nOne of the ones I found worked best is Protry.com or DataEntryPros. \n\nBasically you sign up with them and then simply enter in lines of data they give you, send it back and they send you out a check! I get checks from them every 2 weeks each averaging around $200-$300. You could make more but I just use the site as an extra bit of cash aswell as my full time job (which I love!) so I only work on it for around an hour each night. \n\nYou do have to be prepare to spend a small amount of money but just do what I did..all of these sites offer a 30 day money back guarantee..use them for 30 days, make some cash then just cancel the \nsubscription...I know you won`t though! :o) \n\nHere`s the link you can get them at anyway -> www.protry.com \n\nHope this helps!\nGoodluck,\nMatthew

The rule, as always, is to stay away from those that ask you to pay before you can get these surveys. \n\nLegitimate market survey companies such as Pinecone Research recruit members based on demographic characteristics -- e.g. mothers of babies 0-12 years old -- and will send surveys of products and services targeting this demographic group. Pinecone Research, however, pays only $5 per survey -- you're definitely not going to be rich with that. They can give you anywhere from 1-5 at most surveys in a month. \n\nOther companies simply ask you to answer as many research as possible, and you don't earn anything just the chance to win at a raffle (which I find lame).\n\nPinecone Research http://www.pineconeresearch.com\nGreenField Online http://www.greenfieldonline.com \nHarris Poll Online http://www.harrispollonline.com  \nBuzzBack http://www.buzzback.com  \nSurveySite http://www.surveysite.com \nSurveySavvy http://www.surveysavvy.com\nSurvey Spot http://www.surveyspot.com/\nhttp://www.internetpaidsurveys.com/

Don't do it, its garbage. I took some of these surveys and it says that you have to actually sign up for some of the products of the companies that you are taking the survey for. This is just a total waste of time and you make absolutely NO PROFIT!

I don't think that they are worth it.  I do surveys everyday for a couple of different panel groups and I have never recieved money.  I only earn points for each survey that I enter.  It takes 10000 points (or 500 surveys it seems) to earn something worth about $10.00.  Don't waste your money.  I don't know why I still complete them.
