 Here at Get Paid Surveys, we tell the truth about online survey sites. There is so much disinformation on the internet, not just about online surveys but about pretty much everything, that web users can never really know which information is real and which is inaccurate.  

This is why we make an effort to present only legitimate online survey sites that will not lead you on and waste your time for no reward. To be honest, that’s exactly what many survey sites do: They make big promises and force you to go through all the motions of signing up for opportunities, and then they deliver nothing. At Get Paid Surveys, we weed out the time-wasting and scam sites, so you don’t have to.  

Here are a few simple facts to clear up some of the misconceptions about online surveys:  

1. Not all surveys pay cash. Surveys for money exist, but they are probably in the minority of online surveys. Most online surveys will reward you in one of two ways: 1) You will earn products, which are specified in advance. 2) You will earn reward points that can be used just like cash to buy items from an online store associated with the site. In addition to these rewards, many sites will enter you into a drawing for larger rewards such as cars or vacations.  

You may only want to take surveys that pay real cash. Surveys for money exist, but they are less frequent. Why not at least keep an eye on the other rewards? You might see an irresistible offer.  

2. You can’t earn fast money or a full-time income. Surveys that offer “fast cash” or six-figure incomes are liable to be scams, and you should make a habit of avoiding these outright. In reality, you can earn a fair amount of money with persistence and dedication, but there simply won’t be enough lucrative opportunities for you to earn enough to live on. Most people who take a lot of online surveys also have jobs, and they take surveys in their spare time.  

3. Surveys can be boring. Sometimes it seems like the value of a survey is directly proportional to how tedious and boring it is to take. This is why many companies give rewards in the first place. If there’s nothing in it for the survey taker, why would he or she bother to finish a survey that goes on and on and takes an hour or more to complete? Offering rewards is how companies make sure you’ll stick with it to the end. Just think of it like work. I don’t know about you, most of the jobs I’ve had have been pretty boring, and I usually would have preferred to be doing something else. That’s why we get paid for our work. Survey sites are the same way. Think of survey companies as employers.  

4. Most surveys aren’t for you. While you will be able to find some surveys that match up with your interests, most surveys will be related to topics about which you know nothing or just don’t care.
