If you regularly surf the net, then it is impossible that you have not seen or come across different advertisements, which claim that you can get paid money for surveys online. If it caught your interest and read further, then you most likely know what it is about. Typically, it is about signing up for a survey website online. Once you are registered as a member, you will then receive invitations every once in a while, asking you to answer some surveys regarding a certain service or product.
While there are perfectly genuine survey companies that pay you for your efforts, there are still some scammers who collect your money and do not even bother to either send you a survey or compensate for the survey you have previously answered. Determining a genuine site from a fake one can be quite tricky. The best thing to do is to ask referrals from people who have had success in online paid surveys.
Before anything else, here is an introduction to surveys. A survey is something that is used to gather information about certain things in a population. Questions are being given to individuals. These individuals, in turn, will answer the questions based on their opinions. Mail, telephone and actual conversation are some of the ways of conducting surveys. Probably the best method is through the Internet. It is inexpensive, quick and easy to access. But most of all, it can be a source of income.
