While millions of people are making money
through surveys, still there are many who believe that taking
paid surveys fruitless exercise and they looked at it as
a scam. Let us examine why this impression has been generated
about the paid surveys despite their positive role of being
income generator. This impression firstly comes from people
who do the surveys thinking that you can have free lunches,
which is far from the reality. In this world there are no
free lunches. Most of the paid surveys envisage you to sign
up trial offers as a condition for getting paid. And you
need a credit or a debit card for signing up trial offers.
If you do not have a credit or a debit card you should not
attempt to take surveys.
Another related issue is that in majority of the surveys
signing up of a trail offer is a necessary condition upon
which is dependent your ability to receive payment. If you
are not willing to sign up trial offers for some reason,
please do not join a paid survey group.
A connected area is that when you have signed up, if you
need the product/service you may continue with it. In that
case your credit card will be charged. So, while doing surveys
and signing up trial offers, you should be aware that you
will be charged for the product/service automatically if
the offer is not cancelled before the trial period is over.
Many users who are either not willing to sign up or who
get charged for the product/service as above they feel cheated
and term these surveys as scams.
Before joining any survey, you must read the terms and conditions
governing their surveys and make sure that you can comply
with the stipulations. Do not join if you are not sure of
being able to comply with those stipulations.
One commonly voiced complaint is that the user is not getting
paid immediately on signing up of trial offers. This certainly
is not possible for the survey sites need to verify their
sign up info which takes time. Another common complaint
is that they do not get paid even after 8 weeks which the
survey companies give as the time-frame for approval.
While so doing they lose sight of the fact that unless
they have signed up through the link provided by the survey,
their sign up information may not be detected by the system
of the survey company. Cognizant of this fact, survey companies
do draw the attention of the users to preserve the emails
received from the advertisers in confirmation of sign up
till they are paid. The users, however, most of the time
overlook this stipulation and delete these emails; and later
on land into problems. Do not overlook this condition for
your own benefit.
From the above discussion, it is clear that not all surveys
sites are a scam. Many of them are providing gainful earnings
to the users and are thus agents for generating supplementary
earnings. Many of the complaints of these being scams come
from those who have not read fully the terms and conditions
and are demanding payments for the surveys where they have
not complied with their part of the transaction. There are
many reliable survey sites – freepayingsurveys and
their associated survey/job sites and the like. There are
may be a few unscrupulous survey sites and you cannot blame
the whole survey industry for the wrong doings of such sites.
