do paid surveys really pay?

I saw an ad about paid surveys and want to try them out. But I want to know if doing them is worth my time.

From where are you , Almost all of my Surveys are located or only in Canada and USA. One international is Global Test Market which gives you $50 when you completed 1000 points -that's a bit a long period of time of surveys but it was sweet money when you receive it. Look at my profile with my site and proof of payments. I was kinda lazy to attached other proof of payments that I got since June 2010. I lost counts of earnings right now but you should check surveys Police as the best site to check if they are scam or not. All of my surveys are truly Legit.

Global Test Market is available in the Philippines but you dont get surveys regularly. sometimes not even 1 in a month.

Depends on the program. Several cases are known where awsurveys did not pay.

I think for surveys the answer should always be qualified. Yes, you can earn from doing surveys ... if you live somewhere in the United States and you are female. Or something like that. The earning potential of surveys is simply not uniform or the same for all parts of the world. And also, it is not the same for both males or females. So, it is probably best to ask if your particular profile or locale makes you a good candidate for earning with paid surveys. In any case, I haven't really stayed long enough to find out. So, for my locale and profile, I still don't know if it's possible to earn from paid surveys. Since the income is not regular or predictable, it's also difficult to be certain.

Thanks for the reply. So it depends on my profile if I may or may not qualify for surveys from companies? Makes sense.. won't hurt if I try so I'll keep trying. Thanks again :)

PM me and I will help you with this one site I'm on. Be warned the minimum payout is $25 but people have been paid before and I'm getting close to my payout. The site is called Surveyhead.com hope this helped. :)

I don't recommend Surveyshead as a good payee sutrveys because they will hold your money for a long time, not sure if they will pay or not. I did surveys with them for two payments but it takes me a long time to get my payment so it's really a pain to join them.

Some do really pay. But be careful... Mostly those asking for a deposit is a scam. REmember you are not suppose to pay them. They pay you.

I don't plan on joining sites that require me to pay them so it's ok

I make between 500-600 per month doing paid surveys, product tests, and paid emails. Nice extra income.
