If you ever have been interested in making money online,The Real Story About Taking Online Surveys Articles you've probably heard the amazing claims of taking online surveys. They promise you that you can make a killing by taking online surveys, giving your opinion, and even quit your day job. I'm here to tell you the real story. The real truth. What's the real deal about taking online surveys?

As an online survey taker myself, I do like to give my opinion on things and get paid for it. However I have found that unless you do nothing but take online surveys all day long with no breaks ever, and know millions of people that you can refer, you will most likely NOT get rich by taking online surveys. While that may be true, I never said you can't make a couple hundred bucks every month. It all depends if you pick the good sites to sign up with or not, how many surveys you do, and how committed you are to doing it. I personally like to do surveys to make a couple of bucks here and there, but it's not enough to retire from.

There are a lot of sites out there that promise you the best of the best of the best survey sites for a small fee. If you want to dish out the $34.95 or however much it is for that "membership", be my guest. I actually like to keep my money. I mean, the sites that they refer you to are sites you could have found on your own, and for free. I have found that sweepstakes entry surveys are a waste of time in my opinion. I've never won any sweepstakes of any kind in my life, so I guess I'm just not a lucky kind of guy.

I am a member of about 30 online survey sites, so I keep myself pretty busy. I found that surveys are a very easy way to make some extra money every month, and the best thing about them is that they are totally free. The reason you get paid for giving your opinion is because companies need to know what consumers like or don't like and paying users for their opinions is a very effective way to do just that. It's a win-win situation, because companies put out products that people like, and consumers get paid for giving their honest opinion. It can't get much better than that.
