Free or Fee Based

Free or Fee-Based Paid Survey Sites - Which One Do I Choose?


You see them all of the time, “Get paid thousands to take a paid survey”.  Are they legitimate, do they really pay what they say the pay?  Well, Yes and No.  What I mean is that some of them pay you and some don’t.  You just have to find the right one.  OK, so how does someone know if a paid survey website will pay or if they even have surveys to send me?

 

Paid survey sites got their beginning, of course, with the development of the Internet.  Before the Internet, many survey companies were conducting paid surveys in the mall.  I am sure you have had people come up to you in the mall asking if you would take 5-10 minutes to fill out a survey and get paid a small amount of money.  Well, those survey companies, just like other companies, saw the Internet as a powerful tool.  Now they could get surveys out to thousands of people all over the world without paying employees or rent for space in the mall.

 

Thousands of Paid Survey websites started to pop up all over the Internet.  Some had claims that you could make $30,000 a month to take surveys.  Others were more realistic and let you know that you could make good money, you just had to work for it.  You see, I hear a lot of people say they want to make a lot of money, but they don’t want to put in the work.  Could you make $30,000 a month taking paid surveys over the Internet?  Maybe, but you would have to work 50-60 hours a week and sign up for many paid survey web sites.  You would also have to take every survey sent to you.

 

Today, there are both paid survey sites that are Free and those that you pay to join.  Which ones are best?  It depends on your goals. 

 

Why are some paid survey sites free and others require you to pay a fee?  Well, that is a good question.  Free paid survey sites charge the company that wants to submit a survey a fee. On the other hand, the paid survey sites that charge you a fee do not charge the companies submitting a survey anything.  Therefore, these sites usually have more surveys, and in addition, have more surveys that pay higher amounts of cash.  I could see you earning a living on these sites, but only if you treat it like a job.  That means you could make $150-$200 an hour, but you would have to put in 40 hours.

 

There you have it, paid survey sites are here to stay.  If you want to get more serious and make larger amounts of cash, pay the one-time fee and get to work on membership paid survey programs.  If you want test the programs out and still make good money then try the free paid survey programs.  Happy Surveying!
