Are there any online surveys that are not scams that do not want money to start?

Im not looking for something that pays 1,000's of dollars a month. Just a couple hundred a month.

Your not going to make a lot of money doing surveys. Defiantly not a thousand a month either. Survey's are not what you think. They require a lot of time, and you won't make what they claim you will. A couple of my friends did a six month test on several different survey sites like Survey Savvy, Harris Poll, Greenfield, Opinion Outpost, Survey Sport, Buzzback, NPD online, Lightspeed Panel, African American, Your2Cents, Project Payday, Inboxdollar, SnapDollars,Send Earnings, Creation, mycoke rewards, E-poll etc. Each did some the same sites and some different sites. Totaling at least 15 - 20 a piece. They're not what people say they are. Yes they are easy to do and you can receive money and prizes, compensating you for your time and effort. So they're not a scam. They're very time consuming though. When you add the time together, It's more time then you think! If you do decide to get into surveying, you better plan on spending 8 to 10 hours a day and make minimum wage. Sometimes you will hit good surveys that will pay you a lot, but what's required to get that is amount, the calculations of the time involved, and what you got paid in these "higher" paying surveys, still only averages out to minimum wage. It's a psychological thing because the time is spread out on these, so it doesn't seem to be as long as it really is. But we did the documentation's and figured the time vs money factor. We found that there was more time with little money to be made.
Here's how the survey's work. You spend approximately 10 to 15 minutes per each site to register and set up a profile to qualify for surveys. (this is non paid). To make anything really work, you need to register for at least 14 different ones, and make sure non are related to each other. Then you'll start receiving emails for surveys. Each survey you have to complete a 15 to 20 minute "pre-qualifying" survey, after you were already told you qualified based on your profile (you don't get paid for this) Then if you do qualify for a survey (which majority of the ones you don't qualify for. so you've wasted this 15 to 20 minutes and sometimes longer of non paid time.) Then if you don't qualify for one, they offer another and you have to do the same thing, and the same thing happens.) You waste approximately 45 minutes to an hour until you finally qualify for a survey. You take a 30 to 45 minute survey and make normally $1 to $3 a survey that they claim takes 15 minutes. Or instead of money, you earn "points" which later on can be exchanged for money or prizes. You have to earn enough points to make $10. That's not including the 15 minute pre qualifying survey, that you had to repeatedly do prior to land this survey. So you've now spent thirty minutes to an hour and made $3 or a few points. And the process between each of the survey sites is the same. So you can pretty much do the math. It averages out to be between $2 to $6 an hour. Sometimes you do come across a survey that will pay you $25 to $75 a survey, BUT there's A LOT more to it then what meets the eye on that as well.
Here's how the larger pay out survey's work. It could be a telephone survey or a Internet survey. You get the pre qualifying part of 10 to 20 minutes then if you qualify for it another 15 to 30 minute survey or a telephone survey about the product your about to try to see if you qualify to try it. Even though you took a 10 to 20 minute "pre qualifying survey" that said you qualify for. When you qualify for it, they send you a product out to try for 7 to 10 days and you do some daily documentation's on it. Depending on what the product is and the documentation's it's usually 5 - 15 minutes each daily documentation. (you got a free product to use around the house, this is a good part of it) after trying the product out you have to complete another survey that takes between 15 to 30 minutes to do. Now you do the calculations on that. You don't get as many of these types of survey's. They use the hype on getting paid $25 to $75 dollars for 15 minute surveys. NOTICE THE PLURAL IN "SURVEYS" What they don't tell you is that there is more then one survey involved in these. Now calculate from your pre-qualifying survey to the next pre-qualifying survey from the company carrying the product, to the trial and documentation's, to the last survey on these products. Then you receive a check four weeks to six weeks later. Do the math, that's less then minimum wage!
Another way to earn money on survey sites, is to refer people over to the sites. Some survey sites will give you a percentage on what the people do after they've reached a curtain amount of points or obtained their first check (refer back to the top of what's involved) You either get a lot of points for this, and only one time and when you reach a curtain amount of points you can exchange it for cash or prizes. (Cash amount is usually $30 before you can cash out- do the math on how many pre-qualifying surveys and the surveys you get, the time involved etc this is what it takes to earn the $30) Other survey sites you complete shorter surveys (5 to 15 minutes) and your entered into sweepstakes or lottery things for prizes or money. "Lottery"-one winner out of all the people doing survey's. If you don't win, you lose your points. So this is just the basic format on surveys. I can get into more depth about it if you would like.

Now, assuming you want to work from home, judging by wanting to do survey's, If you really want to work from home, I suggest you look into home jobs (they pay minimum wage),
or look into starting your own home based business. Plenty of options around for you. Most home based business cost under $500 to start. They have the same income opportunity as traditional business but don't have the overhead expenses. Just about everything you use in your home, becomes a tax write off. Your phones, cell phones, computers, electricity, Gas, car expenses etc etc. A good advantage to have a business and run it out of your home. There are a lot of options from child daycare centers, to telecommunication, travel , health industries etc. You name it it can be done from your home.
Here's a couple of examples of home based businesses:
The company we chose made the most since to us. A product that is and always will be in high demand. There are a lot of products and services out there that are good. We decided to partner up with this company because it was things that people will always use and pay for anyway, pretty much no matter what. We didn't have to worry if money became tight that they could easily run to the store and purchase on sale or be able to buy it at the dollar store. So, we got involved in the world's largest direct selling telecommunications service provider that was started back in 1993. It's now a 15 year old, world wide international company. With headquarters in Farmington Hills, Michigan, Charlotte, Amsterdam, Sydney and Montreal.
They have been featured in several magazines like USA Today, Success, Fortune etc. Inc 500 rated them the 22nd fastest growing company in revenue in it's first five years. They are registered with the BBB as well.
They market in services people use every day and pay for anyway, like I had said. Services like Local and Long Distance telephones, Internet, Digital, video phones, Satellite TV, and all the major cellular phone companies like T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, Nextell, Altell etc as well. We save people money and make money at the same time. Every single month these people pay their bills, we make a percentage over and over again each month. A major funding resource for our non profit organization.
How many people do you know, or know of around the world that uses one or more of these services or products? . A lot of money involved in this industry and very simple to do.
Another example is in the candle industry. You can make all natural soy candles that have beautiful scents and don't create the soot that the parfine (forgive my spelling) create on the jars. You know, the black stuff. Anyway, if you'd like more information on that contact my friend Consuelo who has her own home based business in this industry and she can point you out in the right direction. illuminessence@charter.net

Figuring out which online survey websites are scams and which ones are legitimate can be tricky.

Remember that no legitimate market research website will ask you for money for signing up....quite the contrary - legitimate online survey sites are willing to pay you for your opinions!

Firstly, look for a privacy policy before signing up with any online survey website. Browse through it quickly to see how the company you are signing up with uses your information. Next, look for memberships of market research associations, and the BBB. It's not 100% necessary for a survey site to have such accrediations, but it helps. Lastly, look for detailed contact information. A legitimate market research website won't hide anything from you - a physical address, phone number, etc.

You can make money taking online surveys, you just have to be careful. Do your research and you will be rewarded.

You may want to look into this website as I know through friends that it is a legitimate website where you could really earn some money in your spare time. Hope this could help.

Yes, CashCrate is a legit site that pays you to complete offers and surveys. It made the Top 5 online surveys list on http://www.paidsurveyguide.org/top5.html. I have used it with great success. The first day I signed up I made about $20. It was a little difficult at first just cause I didn't know all the shortcuts and tricks. Monthly income varies from person to person. A dedicated person can make hundreds of dollars per month easily. If you want to learn more and find out all the tips and tricks to it, feel free to check out my site, http://www.easycollegemoney101.blogspot.com

I have been using this site http://www.mysurvey123.com - they have free lists of real and legitimate survey sites, all free to join and no fee whatsoever.

I know some that aren't scams that I do, but I think it would be hard to make hundreds a month unless you read emails & take surveys almost 24 hours a day, but I could be wrong. I do it part time because I work full time outside the home.

Inbox Dollars - I have received about $60 from them over the last 6 months. If you decide to do it, would you mind much enrolling in it thru my website? I would make a few extra bucks if you do. You can enroll here http://www.thekingsvineyard.com/Crosses1.htm#Christian%20Gifts

Scroll down and look on left hand side of page for the inbox dollars link that says "join now".

1 sec and I will get you the links for others I have been doing and I know they actually pay.

globalopinionpanels.com I have received a couple of checks from them in the mail since enrolling (and still looking at my list)

Those are the best 2 I have found. Many others offer gift certificates rather than an actual check, which isn't bad either. MyPoints.com, for example. They have Amazon & Wal-Mart gift certificates for points, among many others

There are many free online survey sites. When I started earning money from home, those are the sites that I started with. It's highly unlikely that you'll make several hundred a month from them, though. Online surveys are really only good for a little extra here and there. If you're looking for that kind of money online, you should look for other types of opportunities, such as a home business. If you want the list of survey sites that I've used, I can be contacted through my profile.

Online survey for me is very hard because it takes most of your time that's why I would like to recommend to you a PTC site or Paid to Click site.... all you have to do is visit and view an advertisers "ads" for "30 sec" every ads you visit they pay you $0.01 this is just a small money but the more ads you visit the more earnings you can get...

Each site has a maximum of 15 ads a day that will cost a $0.15 a day... but if you have "10 PTC Sites" working on or more you can get $1.5 - $3 a day not bad for a beginner....come to think of it...

visit the source below.....it is one of my favorite site... adn paying too ^_^

hope it helps..^^
