Have you seen all those ads and those sites that say that you can become rich taking surveys? Ok, so most of them don’t claim they will make you rich, but they do claim that they will provide you with some bonus income. Some even claim that you can make enough money to replace your current income. Now, this claim is possible. If your current income is $100/year. Now, maybe it is possible to make more than that with survey sites, but it is definitely NOT worth your time. Honestly, survey sites are on of the biggest scams out there. I’ve heard people say that MLMs are all just big money scams, but I know people who can make those work. In fact, I know people who have made a six figure income or higher with MLMs. But that is another article. In my opinion, survey sites are a much bigger scam. Do you know what your chances are of achieving a six figure income by filling out surveys? It is equal to stuffing envelopes or doing data entry. ZERO. You cannot create a six figure income by doing surveys. Not even if you spent 100 hours a week on those survey sites that promise you an income. Seriously, I got a free membership to one of those survey sites with something I bought so I decided I would check it out. They told me that some surveys would pay me over $20 just for a 10 minute survey. I thought that would be pretty decent, so I checked it out. First of all, none of the surveys that paid well were available in my country (Canada), and secondly there was a huge problem with the ones that did. In order to take a survey and get paid, you had to first take a survey to see if you qualify for the paid survey. Most of the time you don’t qualify, and those qualification surveys can take up to 20 minutes. So by the time you have found a survey that you can actually take, you have already spent a few hours taking qualification surveys and most likely the one you can actually get paid for only pays a couple dollars. My sister checked out some other survey sites and said she had the same problem. Survey sites are a HUGE waste of your time and money. You have a much higher chance succeeding with an MLM, even if you don’t even know what an MLM is! Do not ever buy a membership to a survey site! EVER! I am tired of seeing those sites being promoted as the easiest way to make cash. Well, maybe it is easy, I mean, you’re just selecting an answer for a question and you can’t get it wrong, but the amount of time it takes to make a buck you’d be better off working at McDonalds! (I’ve been there, and it pays WAY better than survey sites). So please, do yourself a favor and stay away from survey sites. There are much better things to spend your time and money on. So what is your alternative you may ask? Well, you can check out my blog post that I recently posted about MLMs, which you actually can make quite a bit of income from if you have the proper training, but even better (in my opinion), you can find out about internet and affiliate marketing. You do not need much money to invest, and you do not need to spend hours and hours to make a couple bucks. So, which would you prefer: 100 hours/week on taking surveys from survey sites that charge you for memberships and only make say $50/week (if you are lucky) OR 1-2 hours/day and a small investment (maybe a couple hundred dollars) to and make $1000/week or MORE? I know which one I’d pick. To Your Success, Shawn Horwood
