Paid surveys and sites about them have become very popular over the past few years. And no wonder, because the research companies are making lots of money and you as a survey taker can make lots of money as well. The only problem is, in this sea of paid survey information who can you trust? Do you really need to pay for access to a site or register with your email address opening yourself up to spam?

What you need is a way to compare the different sites so you can make an informed decision about which paid survey site is right for you. Here are some qualities you can use to evaluate paid survey sites.

1. Size stability and durability. See how long the site has been in existence. Paid survey sites can come and go, but the good ones tend to stay. Find a site that has been in existence for some time and you have likely found a reliable site.

2. Does the site appear to be growing in popularity? You can find this out at http://www.alexa.com

3. Does the site provide regular updates? If you go back next week has anything changed on the list of survey sites or does it appear to be just a static list.

4. Is the site asking you for money to access the list of paid survey companies? Don't EVER pay for access to information that is freely available, it's a waste of your hard earned money and unnecessary. Same goes for sites that want you to register for access to their list. They are just looking to get your email address. Find a site like Paid Survey Success that gives you free access to over 300 paid survey companies.

5. Once you narrow down your list of possibilities to 2-3 strong candidates visit their websites and see which one will work best for you. See how many companies are on their list and how easy the site is to navigate.

6. Set up a separate email account for your paid survey business. You want to keep it apart from your personal email. Use that email for all of your paid survey applications.

7. Do your part. The paid survey site owner has given you the tool, the list of paid survey companies. Now you have to visit each paid survey site yourself and apply. The research companies won't be sending you any surveys until you complete their registration. Don't hesitate, just do it.

8. Check your email daily for new survey invitations. You can even check two or three times a day if you want. It's exciting to get paid survey offers. Complete the surveys that are sent to you. Being good at completing the surveys marks you as a good survey taker and the paid survey companies will respond by sending you more and better paying surveys.

9. Be patient, it will take time to build momentum. After 3 months or so you will start getting the really good offers and focus groups that pay up to $150 an hour. Just like a normal job, the survey companies want to know that you are reliable and dependent before they send you their best offers.

If you follow these suggestions you'll be sure to find a quality list of legitimate paying survey without giving up your email address or even worse your own money. I've been following these rules for about two years and I can tell you that they do work.
