Are Paid Online Surveys the Best Way to Make Free Money?
It depends on what your expectations are for what type of money can be made.
If you’re looking to make a little extra spending money for the weekend then yes, you could find paid surveys as a means of doing that. If you’re thinking that you could quit your job and make a couple hundred dollars a day completing surveys, you’re going to be sorely disappointed.
If there’s a way to make $100 a day filling out paid surveys, I haven’t found it yet. In the past, I had memberships with a few dozen paid survey sites and while I have in fact filled out the occasional survey for $10-$20, those surveys are few and (very) far between. Most pay between $1 and $3 and many of them you won’t even qualify for.
You could legitimately make somewhere in the area of $5-$10 a day doing surveys but you’ll spend A LOT of time filling out surveys if you want to try to make anything more than that. My opinion is that the amount paid compared to the time spent filling out the surveys makes minimum wage look enviable.
Proceed with caution!
Millions of people fill out paid online surveys every day for some quick cash. Some are just doing a couple surveys during their lunch break for a quick $50 a day, while others have taken the liberty to produce a full time income from filling out questionnaires. Then there are the pros, who make a substantial income from online surveys but are also taking advantage of the other offers these programs provide. For instance, they are getting paid to shop, making money to watch movie trailers. and even earning cold hard cash to test drive cars. These master survey takers are having fun while making money. Not a bad deal in my book. But is it really the easiest and fastest way to make free money? After all, it does take effort to sift through through surveys that pay well and you’re likely to qualify for. After that you actually have to complete the survey. While most of these are just quick, multiple choice program, some require pretty well thought out answers in order to get paid. What if
