I am so excited. I just checked on one of my survey sites to see how many points I have accumulated and it's up to $20! I can actually make payout, but I am going to wait and see where my other surveys take me first. Maybe this whole thing isn't a waste of my time. I started doing this a month ago and haven't seen actual cash yet. I was about to give up, but I think I am going to stick with it for awhile. I have been doing mystery shopping also and got paid from them already. If I could rake in $300 a month, I would be sooooo happy! My husband and I have been living on just one income and we have 2 kids. It hasn't been rough, but it does prevent us from getting further ahead. Not that $300 will pull us too far ahead, but it's a start. Does anyone else do legitimate surveys out there and made money?

Awesome, I am so happy for you! I love hearing about people actually making money online! If you are truly interested in making some extra cash online while having fun, be sure to check out my profile! There are some awesome sites on there that are fun and easy! 2 of the survey sites have really really low payouts to paypal! I like that a lot! Also go get your free $25 while you are there! I did and there is proof of it in a link on my profile page! Let me know if you have any questions.

I have had success with several survey sites myself. I find I usually qualify for enough surveys to make at least $15 or so dollars per month. I have never been serious enough about it to try for those sites that promise several hundred a month just for surveys though. I have never tried mystery shopping. To me, it has always had the "too good to be true" feeling, so I am curious as to whether it is a legitimate way to earn or not; it's something I am rather interest to hear more people's opinions and reviews on. Sounds like you've done quite well with it! That's great!

I never really got into the survey things and didn't really believe you could actually make any money from them. That is great that you are making money from them. Congrats! :)

That's cool, good for you. I've yet to find any survey sites that actually pay instead of talking about paying. I'm glad you found another source of income for your family.

good for you.
i've yet to make cash out of the survey site i've joined. i've read many inputs that say that it is a scam. i've taken a wait and see attitude on this one. hopefully, i'll be as fortunate as you kie and be able to cash out soon.
thanks!

I am happy about this, but from all that I've read from others that do stuff online, I am making very little. Good luck to you. Here is a suggestion: When they send a survey, sign in immediately and start the first few questions. If you do not have time to finish, come back and most of the time, it still will allow you to continue. I've had situations where they logged me out and then the quota was met, but it hasn't happened lately.
