Survey Sites: Possibly Your Worst Enemy

by Shawn Horwood
Have you seen all those ads and those sites that say that
you can become wealthy taking surveys? Ok, so most of them
don't claim they will make you wealthy, but they do claim that
they will provide you with some bonus income. Some even
claim that you can make enough money to replace your
job. Now, this claim is possible. If your
current income is $100/year. Now, maybe it is possible
to make more than that with survey sites, but it is
certainly NOT worth your time. Truthfully, survey sites
are on of the biggest scams out there. I've heard people
say that MLMs are all just giant money scams, but I know
people who have made those work for them. In fact, I know people who
have made a six figure income or higher with MLMs. But that
is a separate article. (Which I will be posting on my blog
before long).
In my opinion, survey sites are a much bigger scam than MLMs.
Do you know what your chances are of achieving a six figure
income by filling out surveys? It is equal to stuffing
envelopes or doing data entry. Nothing. You cannot create a
six figure income by doing surveys. Not even if you spent
100 hours a week on those survey sites that promise you prosperity.Seriously, I got a free membership to Survey
Scout with something I bought so I decided I would check it
out. I was informed that some surveys would pay me over $20
just for a ten minute survey. I thought that would be pretty
decent, so I checked it out. First of all, none of the
surveys that paid well were available to me,
and secondly there was a huge problem with the ones that
did. In order to take a survey and get paid, you had to
first take a survey to see if you qualify for the paid survey.
Most of the time you don't qualify, and those qualification
surveys can take up to 20 minutes. So by the time you have
found a survey that you can actually take, you have already
spent a few hours taking qualification surveys and most
likely the one you found that pays youonly pays a
couple dollars.My sister checked out some other survey sites
and stated thatshe had the same problem.
Survey sites a MAMMOTH waste of your precious time and money. You have
a much larger chance succeeding with an MLM, even if you
don't even know what an MLM is! Do not ever buy a membership
to a survey site! EVER! I am tired of seeing those sites
being promoted as the easiest way to make cash. Well,
maybe it is simple, I mean, you're just pickingan answer
for a question and you can't get it wrong, but the amount
of time it takes to make a buck you'd be better off working
at McDonalds! (I've been there, and it pays WAY better than
survey sites). So please, do yourself a favor and stay away
from survey sites. There are much better things to spend your
time and money on.
So what is an alternative you may ask? Well, if you check
out my blog I will soon be posting an article about MLMs,
which you actually can make quite a bit of income from if
you have the proper training, but even better (in my opinion),
you can learn about internet and affiliate marketing.
You do not need much money to invest, and you do not need
to spend hours and hours to make a couple bucks. So, which
would you prefer: 100 hours/week spent on taking surveys from
survey sites that charge you for memberships and only make
say $50/week (if you are lucky) OR 1-2 hours/day and a small
investment (maybe a couple hundred dollars) to and make
$1000/week or MORE? I know which one I'd pick.
