Are paid online survey’s legit?

I tried some years ago and never got anywhere.  Now I have started the quest again. The simple answer is, yes there are legit ones out there.

If you’re ready for the long answer, there are several things to consider.Avoid any site that wants you to pay to join, or pay for a list of sites. Paid survey’s exist and will pay you for your opinions. This is not however a full-time job replacement. Anything that looks too good to be true, probably is. There are some that claim $150+ an hour, the real ones are only $2 for 15-30 min.

There are also ones that ‘pay’ you to try free offers, or to sign-up for things. I have found several people that say these pay, but these are not survey’s (though some claim to be). They are simply a mass referal website, that gets paid a commission for every sale they send, and give you a small percentage.

I created a new email to try out several, in case I get flooded with a lot of spam, since that’s what the fake ones send. So far I have joined 15 and have not recieved one spam.

Also, something to note; the real ones only send a few survey’s every month. It’s not a get rich quick fix, but a little extra $$ in your pocket. Once I recive a payout from one I will post an update to let you know.

    I tried this a few years back. I signed up for a bunch of the secret shopper ones. I did make some money and got to keep a lot of the items I got. I used a “surveymail” email address and eventually got a lot of spam but not sure where it came from.
