Can one actually make money by online surveys?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) December 15, 2011 -- How many of you think of participating in tempting online surveys that promise you of good money in return? You usually get such emails, text messages, etc. The offers like ‘Earn $20 by participating in an online survey that would take around 5 minutes’, look very tempting. The concern is – Are these offers, emails, etc. true? Will you actually get $20 for a five-minute survey form that the sender cannot even be sure of. The sender cannot even be sure whether you have genuinely read each question, and answered the same. So why will he/she pay you $20.

Although, these mails look very attractive, most of the times they are fraudulent. The glitch is that they first ask you to learn how to become an online surveyor. They would ask you to register, and once you register, and you feel that now you can participate in the survey and make money, a message on the screen shows ‘Learn how to answer these surveys by paying only $30’, with the option of net banking next to it. You thus, have to first pay $30. Now it’s not just you, who has received this email. There would be many others like you. Suppose, even if 100 odd people register for the session paying $30 each, the sender gets $3000. What if you do not get any response after that? You have not seen anyone in person, whom would you catch hold of.

Now there would be a group of people who would have a difference in their opinion on online surveys. However, this is true majority of the times. One can make money online; working from home, but online surveys is definitely not the option.

There are many websites that invite writers for blogs, essays, articles, etc. These are in turn, more authentic means of making money online. However, even this is not an exception to scams. Scams or frauds take place in this scenario as well, but one can lessen the chances of the same by working on recommended websites. Don’t just opt for some website because they promise to give you a high amount. It’s better to write for a site that someone has recommended and worked with before.

Make sure that here we are not talking about free online surveys – the ones that BBC or CNN conduct. They are just generalized surveys to know the public opinion. Here we are talking about surveys that promise to pay you for the same.

Be smart and don’t let others cheat you. Think twice before trusting such emails.
