I have visited most sites, i mean really good paying sites to what friends would like to invite me in and join them. But to my dismay,why is it only for US, UK, Canada and Australia citizens when i try to read the TOS and FAQ.
Probably you might have noticed that most survey sites are offered from them, if there is an international site, the survey are still limited or minimal. If you try to look around and see good paying sites for reviews like Ciao or writing opportunity from Helium, it is also an advantage from other Nationalities i have mentioned.
I don't tend to be stereotyping here, but when you check most sites that pays real good money, that you really have to drool
because people from other race earns big amount, while you aren't,hhhhhmmm... even if you try harder, it won't happen. These sites i am telling were Cash Crates, Prizebook, Cash Ninjas, Raid the bank, Treasure Troopers and much more.

That is not a good work around. Integrity should be implemented at all times. Maybe you do it for fun but not for long period of time. I still prefer to wake up in the morning not thinking of the credible things I've done.
Just my 2 cents.peace out.

I am not sure what is going on here. I am not famialr with most of the sites you have mention. I do not know why these sites would be limited to a few nationalities. maybe some curtual or ecomomic reason.

yeah, i am much more aware of the paying sites since i do surf a lot of times and do research online. But its good that your country is doing it's best to help you earn money. If you join on those sites i have mentioned, probably you'd be earning more than $100 a month if you combine all your savings from different sites. Grab the opportunity, since you are from US.

That's a pertinent point you have raised. even I have noticed that people from US, UK.. are eligible for upfront payment and also some tasks are exclusively for the. A part of it understandable since those sites are based there it becomes more authentic and opinionated from the citizens of those countries.

Probably most sites are from there specially the surveys related to certain products which they ask for telephone numbers only on those countries that are allowed to join also.

Thanks ok but people from different region should also allowed to make money from them. Its all online money so if we get money for survey then i dont believe there should be any issue. they should give us the chance to earn online.

If these are survey sites, then the companies that are using those sites are more likely to sell products for US, UK, Canada and Australia market.
No point asking a Chinese or Indian the kind of shampoo they prefer when the company are targetting only the market in the western world. No point asking the Chinese or indian their opinion of Obama policies since most the policies don't concern them.
Helium is a bit different, they still accept certain groups of Asian but seem to exclude Indians for reason nobody knows but everyone is guessing.

They based on the IP address.
Anyway there are a lot of other sites that accept international writers, like Bukisa and Associated Content (not sure about Ehow, you can try applying). Just that both sites do not offer upfront payment for international writers. Both are good sites to learn about writing sellable articles and "marketing" your articles to increase pageviews.

Ok thanks for sharing, although my nationality is not Indian, i am presently here in India, that's why i felt so deprived.

It has nothing with the race. They prefer users from those country. I have the same problem, and I'm from Romania(europe). I signed on different survey sites but I haven't received any survey. Also there are some sites that show me a message like" Sorry we don't accept users from your country". This is really annoying.
All the best,

yeah, that right. They can detect you IP address.You can join some survey sites however, its very limited for you to get surveys. Surveys is just part of some marketing strategy since internet is the main source of communicating nowadays. Maybe where to good for them.
Just my 2 cents

Hii there! I have gone through very few money making sites yet most of them are for US citizens but i dint go ever to find out the reasons behind.
You have started a very good point to discuss and i am keeping my eyes open to all answers you get.
I think Sanu has gave a good answer too, there must be something to do with Contract issues.
I also hope sooner all of those sites would be opened for Asians too.

Well strawberry let me tell u something its not the site that dosent allow you to make money and its not those sites u mentioned not allowing asians to make money its the companies and the companies of those countries sponser these sites and its those companies that let you take a survey and if lets say thers a survey available for US or UK then its the US and UK companies the companies in their country thats lettin them take the survey and not the site so if you see the reason why asians are not allowed to take part in surveys or are not given many surveys is because those companies are not willing to give online surveys to asians and only asians companies can give survey to asians and only when an asian company requier them and i think its those companies who are to be questioned not the sites. well anywyas i found this to be a very intresting discussion and Good Luck with ur surveys !
Cheers !

Hi,
From where did you get that book. Looks to be a very interesting book. How much did you pay for it?
Now to the question that you asked. It is a very good question especially when these sites except international members too. Now there is a logic answer to. The answere is that as most of these advert sites belong to the US or UK and us becoming members dont benefit the sponsers of these companies so we international members have a limit in regards to our earnings.
But this should not bother us as we need to look at the brighter side of this and that is we still have a chance to make some money $$$$.

I do agree with you when it comes to survey sites. The best ones that I have been with are here in the United States. I came across a few survey sites that are also for international members as well and not just for US members but I'm not sure how good they are but they are BBB credited and to me that means legit and I joined those sites.

Is that Thalia in your avatar? I also search for month for a surving sites but they require american or canadian citizen to join I'm so dissappointed. Why they don't allow other nationalities to join. I also joined Cashcrate but I never earn anything there. I hope we have survey sites here in the Philippines I'm looking it forward.

Its not only here but most of the time that we Asian don't have good opportunity or they didnt gave us fair treatment. Its unfair for us, all we need to do is to prove to them that we are good than other countries. some of us have already proven that.

I get what you mean because being an asian I FEEL THAT WAY...
and yea...it really sucks...just when i am excited at this opportuninty to earn, it stated that currently we do not accept bla bla bla and that maybe in the future they may change their terms...Well, i think that's crap and that they'll never change those terms..It's either just US members or US plus some other limited countries...It's unfair and i would like to know why since they don't state it there on their terms...hmph..
