The Truth About Paid Surveys and Emails

First of all I have not found any survey websites that you could actually make a living at. But there are some that could earnyou a little extra pocket change. There are several types of surveys and email program and scams, and I will review the different types below.

No matter what do not pay for any listing of survey companies. The lists they provide are no different than ones available for free on the Internet. These companies really tick me off, because they prey on people who need a little cash.

Secondly, there are the surveys that say free lap top or ipod for answering whether you like Burger King better than McDonald's. Please note, if it sounds to good to be true, then it is. But there is a way to get those gifts they are promising. I will explain it further in the next paragraph.
If you really decide to go for the prize, do the following 3 things.

1. Get a $20 prepaid Master Card or Visa. This will insure that no extra
monthly charges or hidden fees will be involved.

2. Google the website name or URL with the word scam behind it to insure
they are actually giving out the prizes.

3. Get a calender or daily planner to take down notes.

Okay, proceed with caution, because the website is going to ask you to sign up for between 2 and 6 premium offers. Next, read the offers carefully because most of them are recurring monthly payments with certain amounts of time before you can cancel your subscriptions or return the product. Use your calender or planner to write down the offers you select as you pick them along with notes about their terms. Be sure to remember to put your canceling dates and numbers on the calender for easy reference of when to cancel them. I personally do not like these types of surveys but some people do them all the time and enjoy them. But at least now you know what to expect and you can decide for yourself if it is right for you or not.survey

The next kind of survey, is the real kind. Typically these surveys pay between $1 and $10 with most of them around $3 with a sweepstakes entry. I belong to several survey company's and none of them send more than 4 or 5 prequalifiers a week. Prequalifiers are short demographic surveys that see if you are eligible for the paid version.

Paid or semi paid emails. There are a few companies offering points or payment for reading emails. I get 3 0r 4 emails a day from each company paying from half a cent to 10 cents each. Sometimes these emails contain other offer like sign up for a newsletter and get like 50 cents.
Some companies will cash out to paypal and some only offer gift cards. I basically like these because they do not take much effort and I usually wait for Christmas to cash out for gift cards.

So you see, you cannot quit your job and do surveys but you can earn a little pocket change or save up for extra stuff during the holidays.
