Paid Surveys � A Presumptive Nirvana

by Scott_Lindsay

I have to admit I�m surprised to see so many articles expounding
the virtues of paid surveys. The presumptive belief is that paid
surveys can manage financial concerns and provide stable and long
term income.

It won�t take you long to find articles indicating you can stay
home and be a mouse potato while raking in the cash.

In my personal research on paid surveys there are very few
survey companies that pay more than $3-5 per accepted survey. I
don�t know about you, but that amount of money will not provide
much buying power.

There were times in my research when I invested fifteen minutes
in answering questions only to be told I didn�t ultimately fit
their need for participants. Five weeks into my research I had
$11.38 banked in one survey company (the funds can�t be removed
until a $30 threshold is reached). Most surveys I ultimately
filled out had a payout of between twenty-five cents and a
dollar.

There was also the reward of points that I could use to enlist
in an online raffle for big prizes. No prizes were ever awarded
to me for my efforts. I invested 25 hours in surveys for this
type of company with absolutely no reward nor did I expect any.

There is no doubt there are those who are making significant
cash in paid surveys, but my research indicates it is not the
survey takers.

Use your favorite search engine and you will find more paid
survey sites than you will ever have time to investigate. You
will also find that many paid survey sites promote other paid
survey sites. I even found more than one that will happily sign
you up for dozens of other paid survey sites. The end result is a
spam folder loaded with offers to take surveys for points (very
few for cash).

You will also be alerted to special offers including gift cards
worth a thousand dollars. These offers require purchases and
recruitment.

The growth of paid surveys may be attributed to two causal
agents. The first I believe is the idea that many cash strapped
individuals are looking for an easy way to improve cash flow. The
second reason I think individuals may stay with paid surveys is
that many paid survey sites don�t automatically send a check to
your home. What they do is bank your cash until you make a
certain amount. Many disgruntled individuals will stick with it
until they accumulate enough money to receive a check and then
they leave paid surveys behind.

I had gone into my research in the hopes that I would find this
to be something I could recommend. After researching dozens of
companies that had been recommended as �among the best� I found
that even the best only fed nickels when members were
anticipating something more.

It is my belief that you could make money taking paid surveys,
but it will require viewing it as a full time job where there are
no benefits and there is a real potential to earn less then
minimum wage.

I have a feeling that those who promote paid surveys either have
a vested interest in recruitment or they have simply bought into
the hype by believing everything they read.
