My Review On Getting Paid for Surveys.

About 1 year ago i purchased a online survey directory for $50 at the time, in return they gave me a whole list of sites that would pay me to complete surveys online.

So i had the list of survey sites, they had over 100+ sites to sign-up which could take awhile but back then I used a auto fill bot called robo form because it was free, but you can also use googles auto fill form in the toolbar, so with the list I also got a list of places that would pay me to eat, to read emails, to shop & pay me to drive cars as well.

I didn't hold my breath because I thought after signing up with about 50 and having no response it was a big fat scam - I didn't get any email surveys to complete or anything ohh i did get emails to read other email but that was like 1cent per email OMG not even worth it.

But after about 4 weeks of signing up with these survey companies I started receiving the money surveys in my email inbox, some were for points and some where for a few dollars I was pretty happy after 6 weeks later I had made my money back, but i was almost about to get a refund.

2 months later I started receiving surveys for Movie trailers, TV adverts, Actual movies surveys that paid me more & because I am mother, i receive surveys on mother products, childrens learning and stuff like that and... Also i signed up with a company that pays me to eat at my favorite fast food restraunts, rent movies & go shopping my favourite thing in the world to do, I totally love it! And I just have to say I really enjoy what it.

The most money i have made doing surveys:

Well for 1 survey i done (this one was offline so i had to go to this place in the city) I received $70.00 + free product trial - pretty good for a 1 hour survey.

And the second survey i got paid for was for 1 hour (this one was also offline so i had to go to a place in the city again but that was ok because i live in the city) & i received $100.00 + more free products to trial.

Regulary I receive email surveys that i complete online which pay me from $2.00 - $10.00 and they take me about 15 minutes to complete...Well this is my experience with online surveys and purchasing a survey directory

What are your opinions on completing surveys?

I too got wrapped up in the surveys, the most I made $112.00 total, I never got any free things or trial items, got lots of surveys to do and had to sign up for a lot of things and it ended up costing me about #3oo.00 plus. So I signed off them amd paid my bills and that was the end of that.

Yeah since then i have totally gone off surveys and I am now in the business of web site developement, advertising & marketing, i will say if i had never brought that survey directory i wouldn't be doing what i am today. Really the people who make the real money is the people behind the surveys - the big companies
