I don't know about you but I've made money doing paid online surveys. It's a great way to make a little extra money, but there's a few things that they don't tell you in the sales letter.

First off, get another email account that you don't mind getting spammed. As soon as you sign up, you'll get slammed with every offer under the sun. Then if you try to unsubscribe, you get put on another list where they sell you something else. Even with the Can Spam Act, they still do it. Many of these guys are overseas where American laws don't apply.

Secondly, you'd better realize you'll be spending a great deal of time doing paid surveys online. A typical Information Technology survey can go for over a half hour. Couple that with all the smaller things, you'll have to do and you won't get out from in front of the computer.

Thirdly, this won't make you rich. They showcase a lady that makes 2000 dollars a month. Do I believe it? Yes, but that lady is not leading a very fulfilling life. She's probably chained to her computer. I make about 100 dollars a month, extremely part time. Will you do the same? I have no idea so I won't guarantee you'll do the same. My job in information technology is why I keep getting higher dollar surveys.

Next, you must sign up for a bunch of different paid survey services. You can't sign up for one service and expect to get anywhere. After a while you can decide which services are sending you survey's you want to do and get rid of services that aren't working out.

Many different company's and industries need your unvarnished opinion on their produccts. Examples of industries that use paid online surveys are automotive manufacturers, IT consulting companies, airlines, supermarkets, and hotels. If you have a strong interest in one of these businesses when a survey is made available you will be contacted and asked to participate. You may even get to participate in a focus group.

In conclusion, paid online surveys are an easy way for just about anyone who spends time at the computer to make a little supplimental income. They are also a great way of making sure your opinion is heard and really knowing that someone is taking your suggestions into consideration. Who knows, maybe your suggestion or opinion will change a major product or service.
