There actually are ways of making at least a little bit of cash filling out online surveys.  If not cash, then you can be a part of a sweepstakes or get a product to try that you get to keep or win a prize from a survey.  Not every survey site is legitimate and you need to decide whether or not a particular site is really going to provide you with what they say they will provide you with.  Here are some specific tips for making money online doing surveys.  If you are to make money, online survey tips will help you find your way through this complicated process:

>> You can sign onto a Mega-site that offers hundreds of surveys and sometimes mystery shopping opportunities or data entry opportunities.  Such sites cost about $40 to $50 to join but your access to surveys are unprecedented and you can register for hundreds of surveys at once, although it takes a lot of time to do this.

>>If a site, other than a mega-site has you pay into the site before you can take the survey, it is probably not legitimate.  There is no earthly reason why you should have to pay money to take a survey.  You are doing them a service by filling out their survey and you should expect to be completely compensated for it.

>> Don’t sign up for sites that just offer you a sweepstakes chance for prizes.  Such sites provide no proof that they are really offering a sweepstakes prize and, even if the prize is a nice one, the chances you’ll get it for the several minutes it takes to fill out the form are really small and are probably not worth the effort.

>> Some survey mega-sites pay out better than others.  Some of the best sites like this include Survey Scout ,  Surveys4Checks , which has contacts with many major companies that allow you to do surveys for cash and Maximum Paid Surveys . They provide you with surveys, mystery shopping and data entry opportunities that can diversify your income.

>> Just because a site is really advertised, doesn’t mean it is a good site.  Some of the most advertised sites don’t offer you the kind of money you really need from a survey site so you’ll end up filling out surveys that aren’t legitimate or pay too little to make any difference.

>> Think about having your teen fill out surveys for teen sites.  These often offer prizes instead of cash but there is a big market for teen-based surveys and companies really want to know what they are thinking. They can earn extra cash or products and it keeps them busy doing something profitable on the internet.

Remember that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of survey sites on the internet and you need to do your research if you are interested in really making some cash on the web.  Nevertheless, it isn’t easy to do this and you could still end up with a few illegitimate sites.
