Should You Ever Pay to Join a Survey Site?

In one word, NO! Online survey sites are a rampantly growing industry on the Internet. Of course, everyone in the online survey business is out to make money including the client company which wants to improve sales, the survey site which wants to get reimbursed for guiding people to paid surveys, and of course, the survey taker who is looking to make a few extra bucks in a short amount of time.

If any website you are signing up for is asking you to pay them to give you paying online surveys then it is more than likely a scam.

Don’t spend any money to start taking paid surveys in your spare time. Of course, participants will need to have a computer, laptop or even smartphone with internet access in order to complete these online surveys, very little of this type of market research is done through the mail anymore.
