Paid Survey Tips - a few suggestions to start

If you have been searching for an opportunity to start a home based business and have thought about using the internet as a way to make money, Paid surveys could be something to consider. However, you must be careful. You probably wont end up "getting rich" but as an added second income it is quite possible.

Although with paid surveys, you may need to start with a few dollars to get started, but nothing should be paid after that. You should be able to get the survey lists freely once you paid up front. If the paid survey company wants you to pay each month as a subscription then this is a red flag.

For each survey you choose, try to avoid the ones that ask for your personal information. Never hand over your social security number or credit card number unless you are filling out a tax form w-9 or a w-2 for payment purposes.

Another tip is never use your main email address for the survey. Use a separate  email address from either a hotmail account or a Gmail account just for the paid surveys.

Also use common sense. Never sign up for something that involves money transfers from your bank. You would be surprised at how many people have been mislead and ended up in some scam. Hopefully these tips will help you keep you on your toes and become more alert.

If you do truly want to make money using the Internet, then you should consider starting your own business online. The only drawback is it takes some time to learn the ropes, but once you do learn, then you will have a much better understanding of how it all comes together. One good way to start is by using the free information found abundantly online or, you could watch these free videos from Steve Peirce at the Cash Clone System.
