Paidsurveys.com is open to anyone in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia and Canada who is at least 18 years old. They promise a free membership and access to 30 different companies that will pay you cash and "prizes" for participating in online surveys right from your home.
Although Paidsurveys.com promises security and privacy, I made the mistake of joining and began receiving e-mails from virtually every known site in the world that offered me money, prizes and trips simply for filling out a questionnaire. They do not offer to send you to corporations that "spend billions of dollars a year" finding out what the average Joe is thinking, they merely flood your inbox with hundreds of e-mails from different survey companies.
Paidsurveys.com is merely an information gathering website that will give your e-mail address and telephone number to a variety of different companies, all of whom will want to sell you something. If you are looking for a way to make money online, do so at a legitimate site. Check out the website, read as much of the information carefully before signing up and beware of any site that promises that you will get rich overnight. You will not make a living doing surveys at home. This is merely a way to supplement your income and buy a few extras. There are plenty of legitimate sites out there. Paidsurveys.com is not one of them.
Information on Survey Spot
Not all surveys at Surveyspot.com offer payment. Some of them simply offer a sweepstakes entry. But you are under no obligation to do any survey in which you don't want to participate. Unlike some sites, survey offers are sent to you via e-mail. You are under no obligation to respond to the e-mail if the survey does not interest you and you will not be kicked off of the site.
To sign up for Surveyspot.com, you simply need to click on the website and hit "join." You will be asked a series of questions, including your telephone number. Surveyspot adds a disclaimer that it will not share your telephone number with anyone. Since I joined this website, I have not received any telephone calls from any solicitors of the products I've surveyed.
The surveys are fairly simple and generally take only 10 minutes to complete. The one drawback of this site is that you have to wait a few days to participate in surveys and you can only participate by responding to your e-mail. If you have a spam folder on your e-mail account, you may miss some e-mails, so it is wise to add the website to your general address book.
