Are Work at Home Paid Surveys Sites Legit ?

What is Paid Surveys At Home?

This is another type of money opportunity site I've joined before where you can get paid money to complete a few pages of questionnaires online, participate in focus groups, maybe try new products and even preview new movie trailers.

Is this for me?

This could be for you if you think taking surveys could be a good way of earning some money online.

However, before you sign up you should know:

• You don’t have to pay to take surveys. 

• Surveys often take a long time to complete (say 30 minutes), for a small reward (say $1.50). But the advertisements say otherwise.      

• Often you will start a survey, but you won’t be able to complete it because there is a message that pop out near the end to say you are not qualified for the survey because you are not the demographic they are looking for. I find this especially true if you are in Malaysia. This means you will have wasted your time.

• Survey sites often have a minimum payout threshold, so you will have to complete several surveys with the same company before you will be paid.

These are some of the problems with online surveys. Are they legit? You decide. If you are still interested, find some companies with the search engines or other free directories. 

You can find survey sites yourself for free if you search just a little online. Above all, don’t pay to join the survey sites. And don’t be fooled by the promise of handsome rewards after completing the surveys from US$5 – US$75, this doesn’t exist, the reality is something like 0.20 cents – US$1.50. Its' for these reasons why I never promote or talk about them, another one I dislike is Forex.
