Introduction - The Paid Survey Study

I've been thinking that I need to make a little extra money. Who doesn't, right? So, after googling the usual "free money online"..."make money online"..."win free money" etc. etc. I noticed that quite a few of the sites that came up were along the lines of "get paid to take surveys". Of course, it's not quite that easy.

You have to pay to get onto the website, to find out where these paying surveys are! Definitely sounds like a scam. In doing a bit more research, I've found some nice blogs that rate the sites you have to pay, and also a few free sites with paid surveys, and yet some more sites that you get "points" for taking surveys that you can trade for cash and prizes.

So I've made this blog to check out if you can REALLY make money taking surveys. I'll document when I take surveys, what site it was sent from and when/if I get paid.

A few rules for myself...

1. Try to spend at least 30 minutes a day signing up for/taking surveys.
2. Be 100% honest about the sites...if they suck, they suck.
3. If I put up a link to a site, I'll try to be an affiliate. Might as well see how easy/hard it is to sign up for affiliates and make money.
4. If I think of more rules when I get going, I'll post them here.

Wish me luck!
