Can you make money with online surveys?

    Hi, I'm wondering about making a bit of extra cash online and read about some sites which paid you to complete surveys? Can this really be profitable and does anyone know of any reliable sites which I could get started with?

    Thanks in advance,
    Sam

    I've heard about that to and wanted to try but never able to do it because they are not available to my country region anyway if you're in USA or Canada then you'll be able to register and try them. If you able try then please tell us about them.

    I never get payment from such services, I think it only waste of time, they only searching for your data and sell it to marketing company

    It is possible but not from the sites that offer a monthly payout most of them I have never seen a check from and just before cash out there was always a loop hole that kept me from getting paid. If you just want to make a few bucks a day I suggest google some Gpt sites that is if you are in the U S if not It is an maybe situation. I will help guide you to one PTF just google it they pay out at 1 dollar to your pay pal account and its daily. You may get frustrated though because surveys are usually designed to be deceptive and complicated to navigate through the proper way to complete them to get credits.

    From what I have heard, is it possible- Yes, but is it reliable-No... There are many other stable ways to earn some extra money online.

    Thanks everyone for your comments, I found a few sites but they aren't really going to generate much at all really, I'm only just literally starting to properly look at online business so I'll definitely look further into other means of online business' since many people seem to make a profit from it on this forum no matter how big or small. I'm just looking for a way to make a bit of extra cash for now and learn the ropes. Clearly online survey's may not be the best option, will look around for some other methods and see what tips I can pick up from the other members here. Once again thanks for your advice, it's all been very helpful.
    I'm a university student in the UK and just looking for a way to generate a bit of extra cash, I know some of you were wondering where I am from, hence me mentioning the UK.

    You will make very little money with online survey. The big money is refering other people to these sites and earning a % of their income.

    I don't think that 'ALL' paid survey websites are fake.. but I do agree that it's not very profitable at all since it's only a small reward for your time.

    Hi Sam,

    Some survey sites can make you a bit of money, but it's pocket change at best. I guess it can be profitable as long as you join sites that don't charge you anything.

    If you're keen on joining any (all free to join), then there's Pinecone Research, GlobalTestMarket and PollBuzzer. If you're in the UK, you can join Crowdology, MyVoice and ViewsBank (formerly Consumer Intelligence).

    GlobalTestMarket has a high cashout level - $50 - so bear that in mind. Pinecone Research pays out a couple days after every survey - £3.00/$3.00. Only thing is rarely can you join Pinecone directly. It's usually through banners/affiliate links on other sites or whenever Pinecone tells its members they can invite new people. Pollbuzzer pays per survey completed - $1.00. Crowdology has a £4.00 min. payout, MyVoice is £20.00 and Viewsbank is £6.00.

    I've been paid by all the ones I've mentioned and haven't had to fork out a single penny to use them.

    You'd be better off building your own website. You'd learn skills that are applicable to the real world and you can earn much more than what those survey sites pay you.
