Are Paid Surveys Worth Your Time?
I got an e-mail tonite from Russel Brunson. As some of you may or may not be aware, Russel has been around the block a few times and has the battle scars to prove it.
So, I usually listen to what he’s got to say because it has some decent information in it.
But, this time, honestly - I’m very surprised that he bothered to send the following e-mail out to his list.
Hey Geoffrey
I remember about 5 years ago I was looking for something I could do
to make a little extra income at home.I found a company that let me take surveys online for money.
Do you remember the movie “8-legged freaks” with David Arquette? I
filled out a survey about this movie trailer before the movie was
released. About a week later I got $15 in my paypal account for
taking this survey.I don’t think it’s a way to build a huge business, but it’s
definatly something you can do to bring in a few hundred bucks a
month.I found one site that gives you a list of 479 companies who are
paying to fill out surveys.If this is something that interests you, here’s the link:

Thanks again,

So why do I think Russel’s gone over the deep end this time?
Well, quite honestly, I’ve been there and done that with the paid survey stuff.
Paid surveys are probably the worst thing you could do with your time.
Let’s face it, to pay you to take a survey, they’ve got to make money somehow.
And the way that the majority of these companies operate is to offer you tons of allegedly free stuff while you’re in the process of getting to the survey.
Not only that, but you end up with a metric ton of list signups. I literally had to cancel an e-mail account after trying my paid survey gig.
Nevertheless, some people will still continue to try this one.
I give it a big MISS and hope you do as well.

I truly enjoy paid surveys, but I can appreciate this opinion.

I actually find Paid Surveys not too bad, sure they aren't exactly that interesting (and they are slightly repetitive), but I have found them to be a great way of earning some extra cash in my spare time. I spend around 10 minutes a day filling them out, and make around $100 a month, I know its not that much, but for the time it takes me its not too bad. Paid surveys are just market research companies trying to collect data for corporations all around the country and sometimes world, I find it surprising how people tend to instantly assume they're a scam.
