How do you make money with surveys?
This is a question I got this morning. I made a post about internet scams a while back that mentioned surveys among the top 4 of worst ways to make money online.
So here's the truth about online survey sites.
Surveys are one of the biggest scams online. The advertisers prey on people who want to make money online easily without doing much but want a bit of fun.
Incentived offers are the worst of the lot . These type of surveys are called incentived offers because the advertiser or the owner of the site offer something like a PSP, Laptop, etc as an incentive and you sign up for offers some of them requiring that you enter your credit card info for a free sample.
The person who makes money is the owner of the site. They get anywhere from $5 - $200 just for getting someone to enter their credit card info or requesting a free sample so they are able to pay you anywhere from a few pennies to bigger amounts or you get a chance at the incentive. Most times you won't get the incentive because the owner of the site is greedy or there is no physical incentive in the first place.
Other survey sites where you fill out polls and questionairres don't pay much - usually a few cents per survey and that is if you do qualify in the first place. Others pay you in useless Amazon vouchers and gift cards or enter you in draws to win money and prizes - which are usually bogus to begin with. Some sites make you jump through a bunch of hoops in order to get a payout.
The best way to make money online is to be a part of a market where people are spending money, which I will show you when you sign up for the 7 day course.
Affiliate marketing, ebay and freelance are three types of legitimate ways to make money online.

Top 4 Internet Scams To Avoid (Part 1)
People will do anything to make money...and I don't mean the ones who are looking to make money online. I'm talking about the people who set up websites to prey on people looking to make money online.
Thats why you should always be careful how you go about looking for opportunities on the internet.
Here are the top 4 types of programs to avoid on the internet.
Paid Surveys
Paid Surveys promise you easy money just by answering questionairres and there are in fact sites that will pay. The thing is the sites tell you that you can earn $5 -$150 for each survey that you fill out. I've been involved with these types of programs before and rarely do I ever see a survey for $5 or more. Most usually pay $2 the most.
When there is a survey for any substantial amount you usually have to qualify by answering a screening survey and the survey usually takes place over a few days. If you do happen to get a survey like this it only happens once in a blue moon.
The websites that are set up to show you these survey sites usually charge somewhere like $35 and all they do is give you links to survey sites that you could otherwise find free elsewhere. Don't pay for these sites. Keep in mind that even if you try out surveys you won't make much money as you will usually have to put up with all kinds of rules such as a limit for payout and other mumbo jumbo.
Data Entry/Home Typing
Again the promise of easy money catches a lot of people. This is one of those 'too good to be true' programs. See a site that says that you can earn money by typing data online and you'll get paid by companies that never turn you down... close your browser window immediately.
Especially if they charge you money. What happens is they tell you one thing on the site and when you sign up its totally different, usually the same data entry but you make money by selling their program online through Google Adwords. Not fair at all. Most people who just want to do data entry don't even want to do affiliate marketing which is why they end up disappointed and for good reason.
Stay away from these types of programs.
