It is so easy to fall into the trap of signing up for one of those Scam Sites, especially when you are trying to Make Money from Surveys Online. You should follow the Golden Rule, if it sounds too good to be true, then is almost certainly is. I know, I've fallen for several of these traps, they promise you your are going to make $1000's of just for a few minutes work each week and then when you sign up you find its not quite what it seems.
If you want to Make Money from Surveys Online, then you need to find some reputable companies and believe me there are a few of them around and sign up with them. They are not going to be able to promise you the world, but you will be able to make money from Surveys Online with them, which will help keep the wolves away at the end of the month.
Now to maximize your monthly income you need to join as many of these legitimate sites as possible, obviously taking into account the amount of time you will have to dedicate to these sites. If you can join 4 or 5 of these sites and make $50 - $100 from each site, then you can soon see that there is good little earning potential there, but it gets a whole lot BETTER than that.
I have joined a few legitimate sites which are completely FREE to join and will allow you to not only make money from surveys online that you complete yourself, but they will also reward you for referring friends and family by paying you a commission based on the percentage earnings that they make, usually around 20% and to put the icing on the cake, they will also pay you a small commission for the referrals on the 2nd Tier, i.e. the earnings of the referrals that your referrals make.
If you take a moment to do the sums, refer ten friends say who make $50 a month doing Surveys with sites that you have recommend and your looking at an extra $100 a month without doing any work, now make that 100 referrals? Suddenly it's a $1,000 a month extra, now times that by 10 sites and you can see the potential.
