How do I know which free paid online surveys are legit?

I've been to sites like GreenField.com and SurveyClub.com. The majority of the sites I've seen are free and don't ask for a start up fee or an upgrade fee. However, some of them offer ridiculous payments like $5-$75 a survey or up to $100/hr. just to answer questions. I know those are most likely scams to get my information. So what else should I look out for to make sure these sites aren't scams? Does anyone know of sites that you, or someone you know, has already joined with and found great success?

How do I know which free paid online surveys are legit?
There are several sites. Do not give anyone your SSN there are lots of sites out there that are legit and they do not need this info from you. Nor do you have to pay to join. I am a member of several. The one I have had the most luck with is Lightspeed. They do not pay you cash you get points which can be converted into cash via pay pal. However, they send me the most surveys. And already twice now I have been asked to participate in a more extensive survey in which I was sent a palm pilot in the mail and asked to record certain daily activities. The ones I have completed offered a $50 incentive and that was in the form of a check in addition to the points I received for completing the initial survey. I have also done survey savy which has a great referral program if you know people who will join you get money for surveys they complete. I have also tried American Consumer Opinion. They pay by check in mail for all surveys, but I have not been able to complete many of their surveys. I did a lot of research before joining these three. You also need to be a regular email checker because if you don't respond to the survey fast enough they have met their quota.

Reply:PineconeResearch.com pays $5.00 per survey, eveyone in your family can participate in the survyes. I think they pay through PayPal.





The surveys are interesting and are mostly related to consumer products.
Reply:The only get rich quick scheme on the internet is to make a "get rich quick scheme" for the internet. They aren't "scams" per-say, if you do everything they require you to do, you can get what they say they offer. But by the time you have, you will have paid twice that to meet the qualifications. So, if you want to get rich of the internet, make up a get rich quick scheme and sell it on the net.

  1. Just received a check for $500.

    Many times people don't believe me when I tell them about how much you can earn filling out paid surveys online...

    So I show them a video of myself getting paid over $500 for doing paid surveys.
