Taking Paid Surveys

Upon my entrance into the world of internet sales marketing, I signed up for all kinds of stuff using my newly created email address. I was bombarded with a lot of mail from people and sites all promising the same thing...instant wealth. Well over half of them were for taking paid surveys. There were dozens of 'em in my inbox,and dozens of 'em in my spam folder. I had a blast. I was internet marketing. For a solid month I spent hours everyday reading emails. Didn't delete any of 'em either. Might come in handy down the road. Never can tell when an extra $10,000 a month on 12 minutes a day of work will come in handy. Ever heard anything so ridiculous in all your life?

Not getting anywhere after the first month, (due to spending hours reading emails)I decided to see exactly how much money I could make taking paid surveys so, I signed up to a bunch of survey sites promoted...through email. All that's required is to sign up (with your email address of course) and the sites would email the day's survey. Sometimes I would get 2 or 3 from the same site. My new occupation was gonna be...getting paid to do surveys. First, I would have to complete a survey to see if I qualified for the REAL survey. The one that paid. Somehow, I rarely qualified for the surveys paying more than a quarter. One of the more reputable( no kidding,they really are) sites pays you a 10 dollar bonus for signing up and once you accumulate $25 you get paid. This website, I can't remember the name, will send out several surveys a day, and upon completion of each survey, 2 cents was put into my account... 2 cents... Let's crunch a couple of numbers. Each survey takes 5 to 10 minutes to complete. Very easy. At 5 minutes per survey, the best I could do was 12 surveys in an hour. So, 12 surveys times 2 cents each is...24 cents. For a solid hour of work. That works out to $1.92 for an eight hour day. When's the last time you worked for 24 cents an hour? Anybody? Needless to say, I looked for something a little more substantial after about two weeks.

If you would like to look into taking paid surveys to generate a little spending cash,there are some better paying survey sites than that but, I never could qualify for 'em. However, if you're interested in surveys to make money online, register with Survey Police. It's an excellent forum for websites making money and the best site I know of for information on taking paid surveys. Whatever you do, don't pay for a list of paid survey sites. And you'll get plenty of offers. I still do and haven't taken a survey in months. All that information is available for free. Just takes a little research.

Gotta go. I've got housework to do. I'm an official househusband.

Take your time, do the research, and learn everything you can as you hunt for websites making money.

To your success
