Is it possible to earn a "second income" by taking a lot of surveys that promise cash rewards?
In my experience, you can't.





I've listed some of the sites I have taken surveys through and actually been paid (or recieved other rewards like gift cards or CDS) on the following, if you are interested. But I've only earned some extra spending money...not an income or anywhere near it.

There are others out there. Be careful though, there are also scams. Don't sign up for any survey site which asks you to pay to access the surveys. Also watch for language like "get paid for taking surveys AND SIGNING UP FOR OFFERS" if you don't want to have to sign up for stuff with other companies to get paid.





Always carefully read their terms of service and privacy policy. If in their privacy policy they say they only use aggregated info, this is GOOD SIGN they are legit. Aggregated info information that is grouped together so it can't be connected with anyones personal identification like name, e-mail, phone or address. That's what survey sites SHOULD collect. Watch out for sites that say they give, rent, or sell any personal information (info that is not agregated) to third parties.

Have you considered doing retail for a couple of days per week?





Good luck..

Reply:Hi, a lot of these offers are scams or you are not making all that much money for your efforts. I have tried a lot and finally found 2 I am happy with and both generate income. One is with no investment and the other is with a small investment so if you want to discuss them with me, I will be more than happy to share what I do with you. You can email me at rpelley5@yahoo.com or IM me on MSN or Yahoo Messenger to raympe6 evenings only please. Thank you.
Reply:I answered on survey and I got 20 dollers as a gift voucher to be purchased from amazon.com and when I went to amazon.com I could not find anything for 20 dollers there and I have to shell another 20 dollers or so to get something. The surveys are a good pastime and the money we get is a windfall and they can never substitute a second income.
Reply:Surveys are simply marketing efforts to get your name on mailing lists. If you are going to spend your time and energy on making money in your spare time, consider you own legitimate business providing either products or services to people who want or need the goods. Find an untapped or undertapped market and fill it with the best product or service you can and you are guaranteed success from your hard work. You can spend your time and energy far more efficiently and effectively working for YOU.
Reply:you have to have money to do the offers, its scam and spam. do this instead.be self employ, work to make yourself rich, not someone else,i work with a great company they help homeowners pull tens of thousands of dollars of interest savings out of their mortgage through a carefully controllled biweekly prepayment system(by dividing their monthly payment by 2). their services is so popular, they're saving homeowners BILLIONS of dollars! this is NOT something that homeowners can easily do on their own due to many hidden pitfalls.... homeowners pay you about $395 to sign up. 2 simple forms. NO refinancing is involved. you enroll the client. the company do evrything else. and YOU CAN POCKET 100% COMMISSIONS! call 1800-365-7550 ext 61583 and get free info, that will explain it in more details, or e-mail me at astride9@aol.com or www.amr.usmr.net
