I keep seeing all these survey sites all over the place. Are they
legit, and is anybody making any kind of serious money with
them?
Should we be paying more attention to them?

Hey sundown16,
There are two types of survey sites: free and not free.
The free ones will pay you out between $1 and $5 per survey, and you will usually receive 2 - 3 per week. The trick is to join as many as you can so that the money builds up.
As for the ones that are not free, they supposedly pay you something like $40 a survey, NOT LIKELY!! Stay away from these sites, they are scams.
In my opinion, all survey sites are a waste of time. We have all tried to make money from them at one stage or another, and the money you receive is like peanuts in comparison to all the hard work you put in, so I'd spent my time doing something more productive.
Cheers,
srama3

Just my 2 cents, but I did the survey thing and the most I made at one time was $10. They send you the surveys regularly but....you have to practically be sitting at your computer when they arrive to get into them! I missed 60% of the surveys they sent because I was always too late and they were closed. I may have opened them only a half hour after they came too. Then there were the ones that you do not qualify for. They will ask you some questions to see if you "qualify" and if not you are left out of earning anything.
(I was registered with over 25 different survey companies.)
In my opinion, they are a scam. You would have to be registered with 100's of them and then be on the computer 24-7 to make anything worthwhile.

I have been participating in online surveys for about 5 years now. I have found some good online survey companies and some definite duds. My suggestion is to open up a separate email account, sign up for as many sites as you can and determine what sites are worth your time. I have about 5 or 6 sites I actively participate in and some I so on a survey by survey basis. The best part with online surveys is you can decide if you want to take the time to fill out a survey or not. You won't but you can definitely earn some extra cash that you can use for fun money. ALso you may be lucky and get to test a few products. If your interested in knowing what some of the products I have tested are feel free to contact me.
Most importantly though is to remeber to never pay to sign up with a survey company. This is a definite sign of a scam

Taking surveys is not a get rich quick thing. Well actually you won't get rich at all. It does take time and effort, and at best you can make a decent supplemental income. I know of people that average several hundred a month. I am getting closer and closer to that mark every month. I spend about 2 hours a day taking them. So that's not too bad. If you are looking for a bigger chunk of change it would be better to look into something else.
If you still want to do surveys, then [u]DO NOT PAY ![/u]

Survey sites actually do work. Thats what I do online and I am loving it!
But you have to be careful though cause sometimes a site might want you to pay for a list of survey sites.
#1 rule! Never pay to work! most likely they are scams.

This entire forum/thread is dedicated to paid surveys, people are making money by taking paid surveys. The amount of money you make varies by each person.
sundown16: Should we be paying more attention to them?
Don't just pay attention to it, go ahead start taking paid surveys and start earning extra cash.
