Beware Of Scams And Know The Real Deals

You get them in your email inbox all the time.  Offers to make money by taking a survey.  How do you know if you will really be paid to take surveys?  There are some simple ways to decipher the good offers from the bad ones, and yes- there are definitely some really good offers out there.  Not everyone is running a scam. 

One way to avoid being scammed is to rule out responding to email spam offers of easy money.  Protect yourself by being the aggressor, rather than the target.  Take it upon yourself to search for sites that offer payment for surveys.  There are some qualities you’ll want to find before you choose who you’re working for. 

If it’s free, register.  Any time a company asks for payment from you to register or to be notified of opportunities, you should just opt out immediately.  Don’t select any option there- move on the next possibility.  Much like searching for a ‘real’ job in the physical world, you should never have to pay for information about job opportunities.  What a broken system that would be, right?!

Next, consider the quality of the website you’re considering as a hook-up.  Is there plenty of well-organized information regarding getting started, and getting out?  Is there an FAQ section to allay your fears?  Are there easy contact options in the event that you have any questions?  If there is no means to contact the site’s representatives, then that’s a bold clue to navigate away from that site. 

Finally, don’t be easily discouraged.  Sometimes the qualifying processes for surveys can be time-consuming.  Once you’re approved by a company however for one of their unique surveys, they now have database information for you which makes it easier for future opportunities.  There can sometimes be many qualifying questions.  This is how survey companies can be assured that your survey will actually have value.  For example, that you actually have used their services or products and will not submit a bogus survey.  Many of these companies have concerns as valid as yours are, and so they must screen for accuracy.  Otherwise, the information they take could be very misleading, not doing anyone any good at all. 

Allow yourself to take the plunge when you’ve narrowed you options down to those that seem legitimate and reasonable.  The payoff can be substantial and in a year’s time you’ll be thanking yourself and the ‘paid to take surveys’ process. http://www.getpaidtotry.com/
