Do you know companies will pay you to take surveys? Some pay very little while othres pay very well.

Hi majorj! Welcome to mylot! Yes,there are really survey companies online infact I joined and paid for it in surveys for income and I regreted it! It's not worth my money,it was my first exposure in online jobs and I happen to see surveys for income and it was then I realized that surveys are only good for US residents only. They seldom give surveys out of US residents,I live here in the Philippines so sad to say surveys are not good for me. Happy mylotting!

Majority surveys are for US residents but there are international surveys company too. Zoombucks is sending surveys to so many countries. Surveysavvy is other good company for international members because what surveys are for????????? something about research to improve quality of their product and how to attract consumers like you and me, and variety of products are used by people all aroung the globe,so Surveys are everywhere, you have to search for it.

Taking online surveys are not an easy way to earn money. I joined several survey sites before, and it turned out that I didn't get many invitations for surveys, and even if I did, I did not qualify for most of them. However, I joined the Globaltestmarket about two months ago, and they sent me 3-5 invitations a week, and I was qualified for about 60-70% of them. Now I have got about 500 points, and I am working on to gain more, cause the minimum cash-out is 1000 points (which equals to $50), though they only sent you checks, according to their FAQ. It was BBB accredited business, I assume this is a legit site.

My experience with survey sites have been very disappointing. I had joined a number of survey sites, and had worked with them. Whenever I take a survey, some where down the road, the message would come up saying I am not qualified. If I am not, why did they ask me to take the survey. It's just a big waste if time. I don't work with them any more !

I have reviewed so many websites but I must say that Online survey is very easy to earn money. Though you don't qualify for all the surveys because they are looking for specific age group,country etc. You can read more details on my blog about how this survey websites work....I have posted several proof of paymens from legit survey websites which I have received periodically.

Hello majorj9, Taking surveys isn't really the best way to make an extra income online. The reason why I say this is the online surveys website have you fill up the survey, and afterward they tell you that you do not qualify. If you are looking for some methods to make a little more cash every month. I would suggest you feel free to add me to your friends list and send me a message saying you want the websites I use to earn online. I will be more then happy to share my methods with you. Kindest regards, fathom

I have survey sites trying to have more extra earnings. However, free survey sites have very less surveys. Hence, earnings are also less. It is really very frustrating. Some survey sites requires investment and I do not want to take the risk of investing some money.

I had joined a number of survey sites, and have spent some time on them. But, I have given up now. I don't take the surveys any more. Whenever I took a survey, a message would come up some time down the road that I was not qualified. If not qualified, then why did they ask me to take the survey in the first place ? Very disappointing !
