Have anybody here tried to make money with paid surveys? Is it real to get paid for your opinions online? or it is a fake job scam?

I've found at least 3 legit survey sites that either sent actual cash in the form of a check, but you can get gift cards for a LOT of good stores or other things. One of these days, I'm going to have thousands & go on a huge shopping spree! It may take some years to accumulate to something big, but that's OK.

Amazon mturk has surveys and other paid online tasks you can do. You can use the money anywhere that takes their payment system or if in US transfer to bank account. Swagbucks is legit as well. You can do surveys and other tasks for their bucks and trade those for various giftcards.

I do NOT prefer GCs to cash of course, but they're actually not bad. I'm a big shopper anyway & like to dine out so one of them has choices of numnerous, numerous stores & restaurants under the sun that I know I'll shop at in the future, so it's good. I've heard of Swagbucks. I haven't had a chance to join them, but I m ay too.

No there's no charge to join these. If you want to join them, let me know & I can PM you because I believe I get some points for referring each person that signs up. This goes for anyone else who wnts me to PM them!

I have used a legit survey site for several years. I don't make huge amounts of money, but it has probably amounted to an extra $200 a year during that time. The money is nice, but I actually continue to do it now because I get access to the full studies for free, which can be very interesting.

Surveys pay better when you're in a high demand or scarce demographic segment. When pricing out panel costs, researchers will pay many times more to include high income earners than low income/unemployed persons. I've seen some studies that paid doctors $1000 for 20 minutes of time...
