Paid Survey sites do work, it just takes time. No, you won’t make $5,000 in your first month but you can make that much after a few months with hard work and perseverance. Many people are looking for a get-rich-quick way to make a living on the web. Paid to survey sites are not the way to get rich quick. But they are a way to supplement income or to become a full-time job. I have used paid survey web sites to make a decent living for a few years now. Below are the ways I did it:

• In order to make a living at paid surveys, I signed up for 3 paid survey sites. I was taking surveys about 2-3 hours a day (including weekends) at first. My first months check was $189.47 cash plus $75 in gift certificates. Not a lot, and not a good hourly salary, but this was just the beginning. The 2nd month was better. Working the same 2-3 hours a day, I made just over $476 and $36 in gift certificates. You see, the first month I only signed up for on paid survey site. The 2nd month I signed up for 2 additional sites. I figure that my hourly salary the 2nd month came to $8 hour. Still not the best but I was making this while I sat in my house watching TV. My third month I made just over $1655 plus $178 in gift certificates. And it just kept getting higher after that.

• The reason the money got better and better is, I think, because more companies were offering me higher paying surveys. When I first signed up, they had no idea if I was just another tire kicker and would not take their surveys. Once they saw I was constantly taking surveys sent to me, I was reliable and knew I would take the surveys. Companies want us to take their surveys. If they need 100 people to take their paid survey and send it to 100 people, but only 45 take it, then they have to send it out to another 65 people to get it up to 100. If you were one of those people who did not take it, chances are they will not send you anymore surveys again. That cuts down on the number of surveys sent to you. So if you sign up for a paid survey site, take the surveys. It is easy and you will make money.

• I never gave up. There were times where I was tired of sitting in front of my computer taking paid surveys all day. Today, I spend about 6 hours a day in front of my computer taking paid surveys. Some days I just don’t like it. There are 2 things I do to get over this. #1, it is way better than commuting to a job and having a boss tell me what to do. #2, I turn off my computer and enjoy my day in other ways. I go out to lunch with my working friends, go shopping, workout, etc. You see, with paid surveys, I can work when I want and where I want.

Paid Survey web sites have provided me with a great lifestyle. Could I make more money than I do now doing something else? Probably, but I am somewhat lazy, and I love this lifestyle. It is Sunday today but it could be Monday or Friday for all I care. Each day I do the same thing…Whatever I want. Next week I am going to Jamaica for 10 days, and because I will have internet access down there I can work while on vacation. It really isn’t work taking paid surveys on the beach while drinking a Pina Colada, but it allows me to live my life on my terms.
