paid surveys

Paid surveys can bring in a ok income but I wouldn't rely on it as a job. I have made a good amount from survey sites each month but not enough to like on, it's more like extra cash for me. If you are interested you can visit http://www.blogcharm.com/Surveys . There is payment proof also listed and each survey site is rated. Good Luck :)

I have found sites that offer prizes but not cash... it sucks

For me paid surveys are less valuable due of low payout people mostly prefers to join revenue shares on the internet are blogging, hyips, autosurf programs, and forex trading. The only i can advice to you is the best do diverse all of these to achieve financial goals.

It depends on the survey company. Some of them are good and will pay you and others you will never receive anything from except a big waste of time. I joined a lot of survey sites when I started looking for ways to make money on the web and found most of them to be useless. I have stayed with only 2 survey companies 1 that has sent me 3 checks and the other has just sent me my first $55 dollar check. They are both free sites if you are interested send me a message with your email and I will send you my referral links for the sites.
