I have seen many fake sites promising to pay $50-$100 for completing their surveys. Nut when You join them they tell you to complete their thousand of offers which costs You, and even then it is not sure whether you really will be paid or not. I have read many reviews of unsatisfied members of those survey sites. Now,what opinion do you have about survey sites??

I have made several hundred dollars answering online surveys. I have never paid for any of them. I signed up with several survey sites and I get anywhere from $3.00 to $6.00 for most of them which would take 15-20 minutes to complete. I believe most of the surveys are geared towards consumers from the United States, which makes sense, because the companies who need the information collected through the surveys. I have never encountered any online survey that pays $50-100, but there are focus groups that pay that much for a 1-2 hour meeting. You may have to read what the sites are offering again. The site may be referring to the focus groups, which would require people to discuss certain issues in person or over the phone. There are legitimate sites that do this, I have personally attended a few.

Most of the legitimate sites are not internationally available. most of them are available for United States, Canada, and other few countries. I am from India, I didn't found any legit survey site yet!!!

I don't pay for any kind of survey site or join ones that make you fill out all these offers. I like mysurvey because they do pay. It's a little at a time, but they do pay. When I have gotten paid it has helped a great deal This last time I was paid 50$ Add me and I'll send you the link for it.

Most survey sites are just scams or not paying at all. Please beware of those sites asking for membership fees before you could even view the details of the business. I would rather join free programs but with huge potential to create leveraged income. See my profile for my current paying online business.

I love survey sites. They are what make me the most money every month. You have to make sure that you never pay for them however this is the biggest indicator that they are a scam. Two of my favorite sites are opinionoutpost and surveyspot. I have made over four hundred dollars with surveyspot and about ninety with opinionoutpost in a year and a half. They are not going to pay you fifty dollars per survey but you can make as much as twenty dollars for a survey. These are very rare however, the average survey is three dollars for about fifteen minutes of your time.

I think the majority of survey sites that claim you will make thousands per week are a scam. I think the legitimate ones only make you a few dollars, so it isn't really enough to make an income off of it. Hopefully there are some ones that do pay you $50 per survey but I haven't found any so far.

Welcome to myLot abhishek71832! The sites that you've been seeing aren't actual survey sites. Earning money for online surveys has nothing to do with completing offers. With a true survey site, you're actually completing surveys. When I first started earning money online, I started with online surveys. All the sites that I joined were free. They really don't pay a lot, though, just a few bucks here and there. If you'd like the sites that I've used, feel free to send me a PM.

I haven't had to pay on any survey sites I use, I run from those that ask for payment as they should be paying me! I have various FREE to join survey sites listed on my blog link's on my profile page; I have been paid by a couple and about to reach payout on the rest. They're all free to sign up. Remember to fill out your profile as this will correspond to the number of surveys you get and also your location will determine the number of surveys you'll receive. My opinion about survey sites is that it is relatively easy to do and I can do it in my own time, I can decide whether or not to do a survey and it is a bit of extra money in my spare time.
