ABOUT | FORUMS |LINKS |RESOURCES ONLINE SURVEYS Online surveys are a great way to start building an online income, they are NOT going to make you rich over night, infact it will take a fair while to even get paid, but they are a good starting point, and the sites themselves can teach you a lot about making money online (but more about this later). Best thing to do now, is to sign up for all of them and let the survey offers start flooding in! NOTE: Most survey companies have a pay threshold (ie: $20 minimum payout figure) that you'll have to reach before you get payed and then the payment could be sent via check or paypal or any number of ways. I have updated the section below to include my own personal experiences. I live in Australia, so obviously i can't take the american surveys but where i can join the australian or global sites I have given honest opions of their services. I have been joining some paid to Click sites as well, and will let you know how these go over time. USA / CANADA / UK / GLOBAL SURVEY SITES: Your Free Surveys - Global Survey Site AUSTRALIAN SURVEY SITES: Neilsen are are an honest company that pay for surveys, do yourself a favour and check them out now: neilsen aus: neilsen nz: Email Cash, Now they are called "Rewards Central" These guys run a simple and easy to understand site, you aren't going to make millions but they are honest and do pay up, the surveys are easy and over time you will make some money. Worth signing up for. and fun too. Ciao Surveys Another Australian Survey Site Australian Mystery Shopping Site I have done work for these guys too, they give you easy and fun jobs and they pay at the end of the month, if you are free during your days you could actually turn this into a part time job. Definatley worth signing up for! Pure Profile I am a member of this site and it pays quite well for surveys and they actually do pay you, highly recommened! International Offers / Owens Click Place / SCARLETTE MAILS / IGUANA MAILS These site appears to be a total waste of time, they seem to pay one tenth of a cent per click, so obviously this would be the most painful way to make a buck ever. Does not look very professional and other sites will pay much more for the same stuff. IF someone else feels differently about these, feel free to drop me a line but I think you should be earning at least 5c per click from anything to make it worth while. One point to mention is that while i couldn't figure out the advertising options of these sites you may be able to get some REAL CHEAP hits off them!!! Might come back to this later and see whats going on with the advertising stuff... PAID TO CLICK SITES Now I have absolutley no idea if any of these sites will work, and to be honest it will take me months to find out... they all promise the world and I have signed up to about a million of them (not really 20 or so....) Im working on a list of them now and will leave honest comments on each of them as time and my experiences in them progress. Ok, in addition to what i've said above i've done some research on the net and found that basically anything with payout figure of over $1 per email sent out is a load of crap. I signed up to about 20, and while i didnt seriously expect to get my money (some of these were trying to say they'd pay $100 per email....) , I was secretly hoping to exchange my clicks for advertising credits on their sites, but further research indicated it would have taken me months and months to get to a level where i could have done the same thing for a $1 on other sites. Needless to say i got out of these pretty fast. Without mentioning names many of these sites were cheaply designed and all born from the same template (which they probably found for free...) the pages didn't work, and they sent multiple emails of the same message clogging my inbox. Basically if they can't afford a proper web programmer to at least make the site look convincing they are NOT worth your time. Further research into various web comments indicated i probably wouldn't get my advertising either.... Even as an advertiser they sent the same goddamn sites to me to click on 3 times a day, which someone has paid money to advertise across the web, not get clicked on by the 300 or so people ad nauseum that belong to these dodgey sites. PAYOOCLUB - seems to offer sign up bonus and $10 per email click (usually get at least one per day) it will take me a good 5 months to realise the $5000 minimum cash out level, or not... but we'll give it a shot. BLACK EARN - Site pays 50c - $1 per email, seems much more realistic, and the payout for free members is $300, might be able to get to this in 3 months. I know there are some honest sites out there and I joined up a few of them just lately, but i'll post the results when I know a little more about it.... AT HOME CASH - Seems to pay at least $1 per email, and they come thick and fast, the minimum cash out for free members is $2000 so this will take a while to reach, though im upto $30 in only a couple of days....
