Filling Out Surveys To Make Money
Hello, thanks for reading my blog. Today I want to talk about taking surveys online to make some extra money. The idea of making money at home filling out surveys sounds like a dream come true for most of us. I mean, what could be better than sitting in your comfortable home and receiving checks in the mail from giving your opinion? I can't think of a better way to make money from home, other than getting paid to do nothing. There are literally thousands of survey programs out there. You can receive offers of questionnaire surveys, friend surveys, form surveys, quizzes surveys, picture surveys, life surveys, I mean the list just goes on and on.
Lets just get to the truth behind these online surveys. There are probably three main things you need to be aware of when signing up for these “Make Money Taking Surveys” programs out there.
- Cost To Join
- Minimum Pay Out
- Guaranteed Survey Slots
The most important thing here is the Cost to Join. Have you ever received a phone call from someone willing to pay you for 20 minutes of your time to take a survey? Or been invited to a room to join a focus group? Well, the difference between actually getting an invite sent to a physical mailing address or phone call as appose to an email is that it's free to join. They never require you to pay when they invite you, but generally you will always have to pay to join these new survey or focus groups online that claim to pay you so much. Yes, it’s true that not all charge to join, but I will explain the reasoning behind that in the paragraph below.
The Next thing you will find when you join these programs is that they have a minimum pay out balance. This means that you must earn a certain amount from taking surveys before they will issue you a check. Usually this balance is somewhere in the amount of $50.00. Now this is very typical when you sign up for Paid Survey Programs that are “free” to join. When you sign up, they get your name and email address then offer you even more “free” to join survey programs. If you’re not careful, your everyday email will literally be filled with hundreds of emails from different programs within an hour. You’ll receive them everyday, because it’s nearly impossible to unsubscribe from them all. After you have taken one of these free programs and made a few dollars, you’ll notice that they won’t send you anymore. They give you just enough to get near your minimum payout balance before they stop sending you surveys. And you’ll never get another one. It’s a very clever scheme they designed. Basically they’re getting paid millions for bringing in thousands of people to do the surveys, but you the survey taker, are getting ripped off. You end up spending time giving free advice and opinions and not being able to get paid for it.
I’m not here to say all survey programs out there are scams, but very few out there are actually paying people. I have tried enough to know how it all works. I will soon be adding actual survey programs that I have tried and that you should stay clear of. So be sure to check back.
I’ve only found two programs online that actually taught me how to create a steady flow of income online. I list them on my website. www.scamsgimmicksripoffs.com
Hope this blog helps everyone.
