How to Find Legitimate Paid Surveys Online
Countless Internet pop ups advertise free paid online surveys.
These advertisements are not the only places people can go to
find paid online surveys either. There are services that offer
consumers the chance to access a database of paid online
surveys. It is important to note that while many of these offers
may be legitimate, most others may be misleading.
Paid online surveys advertised by pop ups usually aren't
legitimate. Companies that offer these promotions merely gather
the surveyors' personal information and sell it to marketing
firms. Once these companies have a person's name, address, email
address, and phone number, they bombard the person with
telemarketing calls, spam emails, junk mail and unwanted
catalogues. These types of scams are obnoxious, but they do not
really cost the consumer any money.
A middleman site that promises to give people access to a
database of paid survey opportunities can cost money. These
websites connect people to survey sites after the people
subscribe to the service by paying a fee. Most of the time, the
sites in the database are easy to access on the Internet and do
not need the middleman sites, making the database useless. These
sites also make money by selling the subscriber's personal
information.
There are a number of websites that offer true opportunities to
make money taking paid online surveys. These sites pay modestly,
but deliver what they promise. It is important to read the find
print before deciding to take a paid online survey. Many of them
contradict their promises of payment in the fine print,
resulting in wasted time.
Paid online surveys can be a good deal, but many of them are
misleading. Those that offer small payment or rewards are more
likely to be honest than those that promise huge cash rewards.
