Large companies and retailers perform in-house research on the consumption habits and usage of their products and competitor’s products to improve on their brand and marketing for their targeted audience. The Intenet has allowed them opportunities to reach out further to larger masses and get a better, fuller picture to narrow down their results of what their demographic is wanting, needing, or tired of. So they provide incentives for their online research in the form of paid surveys.
Usually paid survey sites pay you, the reputable ones do, after you complete each survey offer. Some companies will issue you a check or a PayPal deposit for the amount indicated upon completion, but others will offer you survey reward points that are to be accrued in your account until you reach a certain amount and then redeemed for cash rewards, gift cards, or free merchandise. When online surveys are proposed to you, it will indicate the proposed payment amount, whether it be $5.00 or an entry into a sweepstakes.
The most lucrative online paid surveys will offer $20-50, but expect the amount to be equal to the effort required, since these will take you typically 1-3 hours to complete. No one should expect to make a lot of money, or get rich quick off of filling out surveys. No one will retire from the rewards they receive, or make any sort of income to live off of. It is solely meant to supplement you, to be a fair trade, for the time that you spent filling out the survey. If you are really actively engaging in taking all offers presented to you, you could earn a couple thousand a year. Don’t look at it as a career, but simply some extra pocket change. Paid online surveys are mainly for the work from home type people that would like to kill some time and make money in the process, such as, stay at home moms, college students that are looking for some extra spending cash, or online working professionals.
If you’d like to take some paid surveys, there are plenty of free survey services out there. You should never have to pay a service to gain access to their list of surveys. They’ll try to sucker you in by claiming they have access to surveys that pay out better than others. The truth is you could find the same surveys on free sites instead, so don’t let them fool you.
So, in conclusion, are they a scam or not? In depends on the company, and what they claim. If you sign up to free sites only and don’t expect to make a living off of it you won’t be scammed. Some legit paid survey companies are:
