Surveys: Guidelines to Paid Surveys and Survey Spot

by Fisiwe Owen

Lonely people looking to get a lot of spam in their internet mailbox will benefit greatly from paidsurveys.com. This site is merely a portal to "hundreds" of other internet survey sites that promise you everything from the moon to a $1.

One of the scariest things about this site is the offer to do "data work from home." Anyone with an IQ over 60 can smell this scam. It is the internet equivalent to "stuffing envelopes from home." It usually requires an upfront fee to "connect" the participant with people who are just dying to pay big bucks for someone to type all day into their computer. It's a scam and an old one, at that.

Other sites simply exist to get your information so they can sell it to telemarketers. If you are taking a survey and frequently directed to different websites where you are asked about receiving a quote for health insurance, do yourself a favor and click out immediately. In the month that I've been participating in online surveys, I have received (and I'm not exaggerating here) at least 10 calls from people who want to sell me health insurance. One afternoon I received two calls, fifteen minutes apart, from the same company. Unless you are really desperate to talk to people on the phone or get e-mail from strangers promising you riches, stay away from these type of sites.

Information on Survey Spot

To participate in Surveyspot.com, you must be at least 18 years old. Only one person from each family can sign up for the site, but there are many surveys that teenagers can participate in that pay. Family members just need to divvy up the money when it arrives.

If you find a survey that offers a cash reward, payment is immediate. Unlike many other online survey companies, you do not have to accumulate a certain dollar amount before receiving payment. The money is sent to you via check and generally arrives within four weeks after survey completion.
