Survey’s are not what you think. They require a lot of time, and you won’t make what they claim you will. A couple of my friends did a six month test on several different survey sites like Survey Savvy, Harris Poll, Greenfield, Opinion Outpost, Survey Sport, Buzzback, NPD online, Lightspeed Panel, African American, Your2Cents, Project Payday, Inboxdollar, SnapDollars,Send Earnings, Creation, mycoke rewards, E-poll etc. Each did some the same sites and some different sites. Totaling at least 15 – 20 a piece. They’re not what people say they are. Yes they are easy to do and you can receive money and prizes, compensating you for your time and effort. So they’re not a scam. They’re very time consuming though. When you add the time together, It’s more time then you think! If you do decide to get into surveying, you better plan on spending 8 to 10 hours a day and make minimum wage. Sometimes you will hit good surveys that will pay you a lot, but what’s required to get that is amount, the calculations of the time involved, and what you got paid in these “higher” paying surveys, still only averages out to minimum wage. It’s a psychological thing because the time is spread out on these, so it doesn’t seem to be as long as it really is. But we did the documentation’s and figured the time vs money factor. We found that there was more time with little money to be made.
Here’s how the survey’s work. You spend approximately 10 to 15 minutes per each site to register and set up a profile to qualify for surveys. (this is non paid). To make anything really work, you need to register for at least 14 different ones, and make sure non are related to each other. Then you’ll start receiving emails for surveys. Each survey you have to complete a 15 to 20 minute “pre-qualifying” survey, after you were already told you qualified based on your profile (you don’t get paid for this) Then if you do qualify for a survey (which majority of the ones you don’t qualify for. So you’ve wasted this 15 to 20 minutes and sometimes longer of non paid time.) Then if you don’t qualify for one, they offer another and you have to do the same thing, and the same thing happens.) You waste approximately 45 minutes to an hour until you finally qualify for a survey. You take a 30 to 45 minute survey and make normally $1 to $3 a survey that they claim takes 15 minutes. Or instead of money, you earn “points” which later on can be exchanged for money or prizes. You have to earn enough points to make $10. That’s not including the 15 minute pre qualifying survey, that you had to repeatedly do prior to land this survey. So you’ve now spent thirty minutes to an hour and made $3 or a few points. And the process between each of the survey sites is the same. So you can pretty much do the math. It averages out to be between $2 to $6 an hour. Sometimes you do come across a survey that will pay you $25 to $75 a survey, BUT there’s A LOT more to it then what meets the eye on that as well.
Here’s how the larger pay out survey’s work. It could be a telephone survey or a Internet survey. You get the pre qualifying part of 10 to 20 minutes then if you qualify for it another 15 to 30 minute survey or a telephone survey about the product your about to try to see if you qualify to try it. Even though you took a 10 to 20 minute “pre qualifying survey” that said you qualify for. When you qualify for it, they send you a product out to try for 7 to 10 days and you do some daily documentation’s on it. Depending on what the product is and the documentation’s it’s usually 5 – 15 minutes each daily documentation. (you got a free product to use around the house, this is a good part of it) after trying the product out you have to complete another survey that takes between 15 to 30 minutes to do. Now you do the calculations on that. You don’t get as many of these types of survey’s. They use the hype on getting paid $25 to $75 dollars for 15 minute surveys. NOTICE THE PLURAL IN “SURVEYS” What they don’t tell you is that there is more then one survey involved in these. Now calculate from your pre-qualifying survey to the next pre-qualifying survey from the company carrying the product, to the trial and documentation’s, to the last survey on these products. Then you receive a check four weeks to six weeks later. Do the math, that’s less then minimum wage!
Are you wanting to work from home? I’m guessing this is the case for posting this. Unfortunatly online jobs, suveys etc are pretty much a null. The ones that are available your looking at only making minimum waged or less.
With my experience in being able to work from home, I found the best way for more income opportunity is to have your own Home Based Business. If you obtain a home based job, you will make minimum wage or low wages. Home based businesses you have the same income opportunity as a traditional business has, with less over head expenses to pay for each month as well as the cost to start up is less. Most everything in your house, is part of your business, which becomes tax write offs. Your telephone, computer, heating, electricity, car etc. Less over head, less bills to pay out then a traditional business which means MORE profit and way more money then what you would earn in just a job.

With the business experiences that I have had, the best type of home based business to have, I feel is collaborating with another business. That’s what we did years and years ago. We collaborated with the largest direct selling Telecommunications service provider in the world. They market in Local and Long Distance telephone services, Internet, video phones, digital phones, VOIP, Satellite TV as well as all the major cellular phone providers such as Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, Alltell, Nextell etc. We save people money on services that they already have and can introduce them to services that they don’t have. Every time these people pay their bills, we make a percentage over and over again each month. It’s really easy to do and we do it from home. So this is one type of home based business available. There are a lot of different opportunities out there, that can make you a sufficient amount of money. No, home based businesses are no scams. They are businesses not jobs though.
A friend of mine created a blog on her yahoo page on Home based Business opportunities. There are several different ones in different industries to take a look at and see which ones you think you’d be interested in. Legitament companies offering home based business opportunities through their industry. There’s also a lot of information that you should read about on home based businesses, blogs, reports, scams and the BBB. It’s not too long, just some issues that people need to know and educate yourself on. Http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-eqfAfFMlcqA8fDHDwdpcueRYyTm4

I have been searching for the same thing, but in my experience, the only legitimate home-based business is if you apply for a “normal” employer & ask during the interview process if you can work from home, rather than going to an office or job-site. There are legitimate sites out there, but they are difficult to find. If you do choose a work-from-home opportunity, don’t give personal information (use Paypal to be paid etc, but don’t give them your banking information etc), & do a Better Business Bureau search on that company to see what is said about them. Generally, even if a company isn’t affiliated with the Better Business Bureau (BBB), the BBB will have a report on that company, good or bad, if others have notified the BBB of the company’s business practices. I have saved myself a lot of headache by only doing business with companies that have a B or greater rating with the BBB. If they have no rating, then that means that there isn’t enough information from consumers given to the BBB to form a rating, & it could mean that there are a lot of complaints, but nobody has bothered to take it to the BBB or it could mean it is a great business with few complaints. Either way, with no rating or a C or lower rating, I am not going to take my chances. If the company isn’t listed at all with the BBB, then I wouldn’t use them because you are taking your chances of being scammed or ripped off if you have no way of checking out the company’s business practices. I answered your question because I thought this could be helpful, but I was also hoping to see other people’s answers because your question was one I have been wondering about also. Sadly, spammers decided to monopolize your answer section & you may not get any good answers due to that. They have been reported.

There is a good google search engine which list online job vacancies like transcription and data entry. See my profile for the website (click on my picture to view profile)

The rule, as always, is to stay away from those that ask you to pay before you can get these surveys.

Legitimate market survey companies such as Pinecone Research recruit members based on demographic characteristics — e.g. Mothers of babies 0-12 years old — and will send surveys of products and services targeting this demographic group. Pinecone Research, however, pays only $5 per survey — you’re definitely not going to be rich with that. They can give you anywhere from 1-5 at most surveys in a month.

Other companies simply ask you to answer as many research as possible, and you don’t earn anything just the chance to win at a raffle (which I find lame).

The article “Earning Money from Surveys” provide a short list of legitimate market research firms and contains explanations of what to look for when joining surveys (and weeding out the fraudulent ones)

Try to avoid the data entry and survey sites as most of them are scams. If you are interested in taking surveys for extra income (it wont be much.). Don’t pay for a list of survey
companies go straight to the source.

Depending on your background, you could consider medical transcription, coding or billing. I was a medical transcriptionist

working from home.

Many transcriptionists get their training through a course of study while others carry their medical terminology knowledge

wit.h them from other health related fields. You would need to get the terminology down, and then get started. Many companies

want experience so there’s a catch-22. However, doctors and hospitals may be hiring, and after a time you can work from home

as many transcriptionists do.

Here are my suggestions on finding a legitimate opportunity that’s right for YOU:

- Set your financial goals — Are you just looking for extra income or a potential full-time income? How long (and hard) are you willing to work to meet your goal?

- Determine if you are looking for a JOB or a BUSINESS — there is a distinct difference between the two and you want to focus your energies appropriately for the best results.

- If looking for a JOB, what are your marketable skills and previous experiences? If you are looking for a BUSINESS, go with your passions, things that interest and motivate you the most. Build a list and use that to begin your search. General rule of thumb: Never pay for a job (businesses, on the other hand, usually involve some expenses).

- Review your budget — know ahead of time what you are willing and able to invest into your business, including start-up costs and ongoing maintenance and promotion.

- Find a rep to contact, check out their websites, ask questions, do your own independent research.

- I personally also check out a company’s status and consumer feedback on www.bbb.org and www.ripoffreport.com

Hope this info helps, best wishes on your search…

This is really good and free too http://www.lnternetmodeling.com

This is totally legit and they have been around for some years now. If your not into the modeling side of things then you can become an agent for them. Its totally free to become an agent and all it requires you to do is advertise for models.
You get a model to sign up from your code (given to you on sign up) and you get 10% of what that model makes for life!

Now the average model makes about $500 – $1000 a week, this means you can earn $50 – $100 a week for just 1 model referral.
If you get 10 models you can be looking at about $500 – $1000 a week!

This is a great opportunity for people who want to work from home.

Message me if you sign up to be an agent and i will help answer any questions.

Hope this helped

I totally understand what you are talking about, I’ve tried many online surveys but they either pay a little money or were a scam. I keep searching for different sites until I come across this one, it’s possible to make money but you have to be consistent and dedicated to it, I have done lots of research on this online business and I found they are totally scam-free (BBB Certified!) if you need more information, please click on my profile or email me since it’s against Yahoo’s violation and policy if I post the information here.

Hope this help!

Unfortunately the only home jobs available would only be paying minimum wage. If this is sufficient for you, I can point out a place that you can contact if you’d like. Other than that, the only way to make a sufficient amount of money working from home, is to start your own home based business. Things from child daycare centers (which I don’t think you’d be interested in, but it is an option) to mobile auto detailing or repear to telecommunication services, to Landscaping etc. (It does require you to leave your home, but your base is from your home) Their are many different industries that involve home based businesses.
They are businesses that you would be starting up, not “jobs” They have incredible income opportunities, far better then a minimum wage at home job”
If your interested in this route, I created a blog on my 360 page on home based businesses. Your more then welcome to take a look at it. I can also tell you about the business that my husband got involved in over six years ago. It’s been very profitable for our family of six. We have four children.
We partnered up with a 15 year old world wide company in the telecommunications industry. They offer services that people use every day and pay for anyway. Services such as local and long distance telephone services, Internet, VOIP, digital, video phones, Satallite TV, and all the major cellular phones like Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-mobile, Alltell, Nextell etc work with them as well. How many people do you know, or know of around the world that use one or more of these services? How would you like to save people money on services that they are already using and paying for each month, and make a percentage of all these people’s bills? There is a lot of money in this industry.

If you’d like more information, feel free to email me and I’ll be happy to point you out in the right direction.
