| Making Money with
Paid Surveys |

| Fake survey
sites will often try to lure you with very unlikely offers of free laptops & trips to the Moon, or whatever, and they also give the legitimate sites a bad name. Most aren't even surveys, and you'll usually just waste your time, but in some cases you could actually lose money! The legitimate survey panels don't ask you to buy anything, give credit card details, or try to complete impossible 'offers' anyways. Many people encounter (and fall for) these scams when searching for paid survey opportunities. |

| Paid
Surveys
are among the most popular and sought-out money making opportunities online. After all, you can relax at home, answer a few easy questions, and actually get paid for it. And anyone can apply. But paid surveys can also suffer bad reputations for many good reasons. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| It's easy
enough to find a few low or non-paying surveys (and survey scams!) on your own, but finding enough legitimate and suitable panels to make good money often takes a bit of time and effort. Many major companies and brands outsource their surveys. Most don't accept or recruit panelists, and are almost impossible to locate anyways. Paid survey directories provide large lists or online databases of free-to-join sites and panels that reward you for completing their online surveys. These paid directories offer instant access to hundreds of categorized paid survey panel listings & sites to help you get started instantly. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Directories
weed out most of the scam sites, but quality and rewards do vary. Anywhere from maybe a quarter to half of their listings pay out in real cash via cheque or Paypal. The rest offer redeemable reward points, contest entries, and/or drawings for interesting products & cash prizes. The better directories often include data entry, mystery shopping, or other programs as free bonuses. |

| When choosing a directory,
consider only well-known, popular, and trustworthy companies who are honest and have been in business for many years. Don't get burned by hype and false promises! Hotstuff has done most of this hard work for you already & dispatched the dastardly! |

opinions are valuable. Many companies will screen tens of thousands of new
applicants every month in their quest for reliable new panelists. Rewards vary widely, and are usually based on the complexity and the time it takes to complete the survey. If your time is very valuable, you may require more incentive than some may offer, but they'll tell you in advance how much each survey pays. Focus groups, on the other hand, usually pay quite well by any standard, but despite any hype, big promises, or 'earnings calculators', don't expect to get rich very quick doing paid surveys. How much you earn depends largely on your time and dedication. Of course you could just Get lucky and Win an Instant Cash prize or a Grand Sweepstakes too! Most people do surveys just for fun and a bit of extra cash every month, but some do claim to make good money at it. If you plan to make taking surveys more than just a hobby though, it can take some time and effort to manually find and sign up at enough legitimate sites and panels to make it pay, so if you're in a hurry, a good directory and Roboform are recommended. Roboform fills in the signup forms, securely manages all your usernames and passwords, & logs you in with just one click. You'll still have to choose your panels and register, but with Roboform, it's almost effortless. And it's Free, too. Get it now ! |

| Some surveys pay out more
quickly than others. There are legitimate delays. Many survey companies
pay only after the survey is completed, and they have been paid by their corporate clients. Some may have minimum payout balances ranging from $5 to $50. You may qualify for many, or just a few surveys per month from any one company or panel, depending on your demographic and the surveys currently being conducted, and it may take awhile to locate your best paying and most suitable panels. Doing your (non-paying) profiles will get you invited to more higher paying surveys and focus groups much quicker. It's very easy to earn extra money with paid surveys, but for most people it remains simply a hobby or spare time activity that might bring in an extra hundred bucks & a couple of neat prizes or free products every month. Many do it just for fun, to pass the time, or to raise money for their favorite charities, schools, churches, or other non-profit organizations. Others claim to make a good second income at it. That said, these are among the most popular and reliable paid survey resources online. |

| Beware of wolves in sheep's
clothing! Watch out for 'opt-out' trial offers, telemarketers, paid
subscriptions, or even 'phishing' scams posing as surveys. Avoid being sidetracked by any "too good to be true" or non-survey type offers and use common sense. Remember that many sheep have been fleeced by offers that they might well have avoided had they just thought about it a little bit first. Only in your wildest dreams is anyone going to give you a giant screen plasma TV just for doing an . online survey.
