Paid Surveys have a ton of hype and controversy surrounding them. In fact there are over four million results for the phrase "paid surveys” on Google. There are tons of sites out there that are scams and that will do nothing but take your hard earned money. On the other hand there are a select few that can make you money.
What to Look For
When you are looking for a paid survey site or any money making opportunity in general, you have to be aware of a couple of things.
1. Is it free – When a survey site is free to sign up with then there is a good chance that it’s legit. Why? Because they make money from the companies who want their products surveyed not you.
2. Proof of Payment – If you are able to find lots of checks and proof that the site actually pays then you should go ahead and sign up.
3. Dig Deeper – Read reviews from other blogs and websites to gain other peoples perspective on the site.
Why Surveys Are a Legit Opportunity
Survey sites are labeled to be scams by lots of people. Here is why they aren’t. It all starts with companies like Dell and Pepsi. They need opinions on their products from people who use them everyday. So they go to research companies and ask them to distribute the surveys to users (you). When you complete the survey Pepsi gets their needed opinions, the survey site gets paid by Pepsi, and you get paid a small amount too. That is how survey sites are able to make money and stay in business.

Well you are right. Morethan 90 percent of the results for the term paid surveys returned by google are simply scams. While paid surveys is a genuine opportunity, we must understand its potential. we just cannot make thousands of dollars per month with it. At the most it is a part time option.
Paid surveys offers a great option for kids and teens though.
Paid surveys offers a good opportunity. You are right when you said most of the results for the term paid surveys are scams. I tried to make money with it earlier. I did make some money with it. But after sometime I lost the interest in it because even with hundreds of referrals all I could make is some 25 dollars per month or so.
It could be considered as a genuine option to make extra money.
i find this site awsurveys but its fake, i don't don't think that any this type of site pay to his users.
Yes, there is money in paid surveys. But picking which website will give you huge pay is the challenge. Nice thing that you have provided tips here.
Paid surveys is one of the best money-making opportunities online. Just be sure to go for trusted and reputable paying sites for surveys.
I wish more people would take the advice you give in the "what to look for part." A little research could save them a whole lot of time and headaches. I dont know how many stories I have read where people just sign up for something without doing any research and then complain when they get scammed. So anyone who reads this take the advice given in the blog before signing up for anything. Make sure its free, make sure you can find proof of payment, and do even more research just to be safe.
Alan,
There are many legit paid survey companies, CashCrate among them. Companies will always need opinions before their products hit the market.
Perform thorough due diligence so that you can find the legit opportunities. Sign up with as many paying groups as possible in order to facilitate a steady income stream.
