You are selling your views and opinions in the form of survey results. There are plenty of buyers and you shouldn't have to pay for anything. Paid survey scams can come in a variety of disguises and many try to take money upfront.

5) Be wary of outrageous promises

Always sound so good, but how do you know if they are genuine? The answer is that you don't, so take these with a pinch of salt. The same is true when you see a screen shot of someone's earnings. These can all be fabricated. Guarantees are not really worth a thing either just read the disclaimers.

You don't have to just settle on one or two paid survey sites. The more survey sites that you join, the more cash you can earn. The agencies will give out surveys based upon your profile, spread your profile as wide as you can.

Many paid survey sites are nothing more than traps to capture e-mail addresses using the online survey registration pages. Legitimate online surveys value their safety and security and they will respect your privacy. They would not giveaway any personal or other important information that you supply.
