The truth is no, most online paid survey sites are not scams. Although many people feel they are there is a line between which sites are scams and which ones are legitimate. And all it takes is a little bit of knowledge to distinguish between the two.

The Ugly – There are sites out there that are just looking to get rich by selling you information that you can get for free. These sites typically tell you that they have surveys available that you can't find on your own, but this simply is not true. To get access to these "special" surveys they want you to pay a membership fee, anywhere from $39.95 and up.

I have personally joined over 200 different online survey sites and every one of them was 100% free to join. You should never ever pay to take surveys or to get a list of paying survey sites. It isn't necessary at all when the information you need is freely available. In fact, legitimate market research companies are forbidden by law to make you pay to take their surveys. It would provide a bias and they don't want that and neither do their clients.

Avoid any site that wants you to pay for access to its database of survey companies. Avoid any site that says you can make thousands of dollars a week or hundreds of dollars a day. If it sounds too good to be true it very likely is. You will make money with online paid surveys, but finding them is free and registering for them is free as well.

The Bad – It's not really that bad, but I just want you to know that you won't get rich taking online paid surveys. You can expect to make several hundred dollars a month by taking online paid surveys in your free time. I'm pretty sure that most of you reading this could use a few extra hundred dollars every month for doing something as easy as taking online paid surveys.

When you begin taking online paid surveys you should be both persistent and patient. This may or may not be bad depending on what type of person you are. Typically you will find that there is a minimum amount before you can get paid so you may need to wait a month or so until you can start getting paid from some survey companies. Not really bad, but it does require some persistence and patience.

The Good – Online paid surveys are the easiest and most risk free ways you can use to make money on the internet. The majority of online paid survey site are quite legitimate. They may have minimum payment requirements that take time to meet, however all of the sites I have requested payment from have paid me. Let's face it, many of the online paid survey companies are small parts of offline market research companies. The market research companies will not risk a bad reputation for their business by not honoring their promises, it is illegal and unethical.

You can make easy money without any risk as long as you follow these guidelines.

1. Never pay to get a listing of online paid survey sites.
2. Join a variety of sites. Start with 20-30 surveys sites and expand from there as time permits.
3. Be persistent in taking online paid surveys. The more reliable you are the better paying the surveys become.
