I have come across "make money from home" offers through paid surveys online a lot of times already but I never gave them a thought since I believe they were just the same money-making scams common on the internet today. However, a friend of mine who personally tried paid surveys recommended that I try as well. He said it was for free and I had nothing to lose. He also said that I can earn quickly. So I gave it a try.
I found out soon enough that there are a lot of things you must remember if you are to be paid money for surveys. Here are some of those things:
1.) There are a lot of illegitimate sites that promise money. You can tell that a survey site is illegitimate if it asks for any form of payment in order for you to become a member. Also, if the site promises big money, such as $200 dollars per hour, you can be sure that that site is bogus as well. You cannot get rich by answering paid surveys. It may allow you to buy something you have been wanting for some time now or provide you extra cash in your pocket every week or month but do not expect to make millions from it.
2.) Join as many survey sites as you can. I am talking of the legitimate ones of course. If you join only one site, you will not get a lot of surveys to answer in a week or month. Thus, if you really want to earn as much as you can, join a number of survey sites so you can receive many surveys to complete. Moreover, once you receive a survey, answer it immediately and honestly.
3.) Make referrals. If you introduce the survey site you registered with to family, friends, and other people, you will also get money. Survey sites would pay anyone who would refer them to other people. You are helping three parties there! You help yourself earn, you help the survey site get more people to answer surveys, and you help other people make money as well.
