At Home Money - Are Paid Surveys A Scam

This is a question that comes up often as do similar questions about anything done online or being represented as a way to make money online.

The short answer to the question is "no". There are plenty of legitimate paid surveys that you can take and earn extra money. Think about all the times that you are asked for your opinion - whether it be online, by phone, mail...whatever. Obviously our opinions are valuable and that is because merchants use this information for marketing purposes. They make more money by knowing what the people want.

This is not to say that there aren't some scams out there - I'm sure that there are. As with most things, we have to be careful and do a little homework. Before you give out your personal information to paid survey programs, do some research and check out the company, the website, do some searches on the company on the internet.

Again - as I've stated before - you can get paid to take online surveys and make nice little extra income from it. I've personally made hundreds of dollars doing this. I continue to make money on legit paid surveys and know that it is one of the way to earn extra income when I need it. I could certainly make much more if my interests didn't lead me to other things periodically.

The following are two good free paid survey sites:
