Legitimate

Sound good?
Well, getting paid to take surveys will do that for you.
Why would anyone pay you to take a survey?
Surveys are used by manufacturers to understand how their
customers use their products. This information is
invaluable to them and they are willing to pay
you to tell them what you use, how you use it, and other
information they need to know for marketing purposes.
How Do Paid Surveys Work?
Basically, you
- Sign up on the company's web site
- Provide some personal information, such as age, gender,
location, etc.
When the company has a survey available that you qualify for,
they'll E-mail you an invitation, usually with a direct link to
the survey.
How Much Can I Make?
The payment varies from company to company.
Some will pay you cash, say between $1 to $10,
for each survey you complete. Others will enter you into a draw
to win some money. Still others will offer different incentives,
such as gift certificates or merchandise (DVDs, electronic
gadgets, etc.).
While you probably won't make a full-time salary just by taking

cash (and merchandise) this way.
If you sign up with several survey sites and take the majority
of the surveys you are invited to take, you could probably make
an extra $1,000 to $2,000 a year in cash or
merchandise.
