Article: Paid-surveys---fools-gold-
Imagine getting up at twelth o'clock in the morning, working less then hour a day and be paid hundrets of dollars, and the best part is all you need to do is give your opinion by completing one short survey, it's can't get easier then this right?
This is how an average paid survey company advertise it's self, but is it really this way?
I worked for one of survey networks (ofcourse you understand i can't give any names here) for several years, i was responsible mainly for advertising so i am familiar with the process of recruting new members as well as other aspects of such working websites, and i would like to share my experience with you, which i hope will save you a lot of time and will be helpfull in making some extra money.
1. First advice is common sense but like the Voltaire said "common sense is uncommon" so remember do not trust websites (i won't name them companies because they are just pure scams) which offer you huge monthly earnings or 100$ per survey. Think of it, who on earth would want to pay even 50$ to hear some anonymous person opinion? 2. Do not pay company which require you to deposit some cash to their accounts first, again this is sure scam, it's like paying for job interview.
3. Every real company should have real contact adress printed on their site, and valid phone number, you should phone them to check them out.
4. Be aware of "paid surveys review sites" i know from my experience that scammers as well as real companies pay for positive reviews and recomendations.
5. Signup only to big companies, because they are getting most of the surveys, so you have the biggest chances of making money right there at large companies.
6. Do not get fooled by seals and certificates, they are cheap and almost everyone can get them for few dollars, besides they only verify adress which you can verify by yourself (look at point 3).
7. Use diffrent e-mail adress from your main e-mail (not to mention diffrent password!), when signing up with any survey network because, they may turn out to be spammers who are collecting e-mail adresses.
Using this seven tips you should easily filter most of scams and find some real diamonds, but keep in mind that finding good system is extremely hard work, even if survey company is real, that do not mean you will be getting any surveys at all.
If you think that this is very time consuming and unthenkfull job ... then i must admit you are right, due dilligence is not so easy thing to do, you will come across many obstacles. So alternately you may want to buy list of safe paid survey sites, they cost about 50$, but there aren't any proofs that their "safe paid survey websites" are really safe.
On the other hand if you are a biginner in paid survey business, then you should check out my blog for a totally free and reliable info on decent large paid surveys companies to get you started. (Here is the link to Free Paid Surveys )
Whatever you do i wish you best in your journey to make some extra income, in the long run it is worth it.
