would you shell out money to be able to join paid survey sites?

dear friends, i feel annoyed by what i first thought as advertisements popping out in the monitor of my pc. i kept clicking on the "x" on the upper right corner of each pop out. then i felt curious later on why it keeps coming. what i read are success stories and that if i want to earn online i should click something there. the following steps i was told needs to be performed. step 1: get (that means buy) survey income kit which would cost about $69 step 2: follow directions and set up an account then the will send you surveys to complete. step 3: get paid either by cheques or directly to your bank account. i find this would be easy but i am not at all sold out to shelling $69. that money sometimes makes me work for two months if i am not able to be working on the computer for several days. i guess i am just not that trustful. am afraid of these surveys to be fake and to lose the @69. would you shell it out if i were you? ann

If you know that there a place that will pay you to register to a surveys site.I ever join with them, but now they remove all Asian members. But I already get paid by them twice, upto $11.56 to my Paypal.

I wouldn;t feel comfortable having to give my money to join a survey site. There are plenty of free survey sites to join. The free sites are just as worthy of your time as one who asks for your money.

Okay, if you have to pay for it, then you should not be using that site. There are free survey sites out there that do pay, but you have to know where to look. If you have to pay for it, then it's not worth it.

I honestly don't think that you should shell out $69. Why, because I believe that they will take your money and then all the hard work that you put into or even if you don't put that much hard work into it, that they won't even pay you for it. Honestly, I also would not pay $69 dollars for a survey site or for any site for that fact, because I'd feared of being scammed. Just don't do it. Trisha

If there is an upfront money to be paid, I usually think this as a scam. Trust is hard to get by through the internet because it's like all up there in the air, there is no physical goods exchange. I'm iffy about this. I think there are a lot of other ways to earn money online without having to pay for something first.

Absolutely not. As a successful survey taker there are no guarantees that we will qualify each and every time for all opportunities handed to us. Marketing researches target specific geographical areas and people, so how can a survey company guarantee you set earnings. Opinion O is the my ultimate favorite, free to join and I am able to get a check weekly.
