How Do You Pick the Best Paid Survey Site?

A very good way to earn extra income from the Internet is to take Paid Surveys.  Big companies need to know what their customers prefer and what they are thinking.  They fund surveys to find out, and part of that money ends up in the hands of those who fill out the survey questionnaires.

To get in on this cash flow action you really need a good "Guide Company" to show you the way.  The challenge is to pick a good one.  There are all types and sizes. Big and small, bad and good.  So how do you choose?

Here are a few guidance points to keep in mind:

1. Generally speaking, the "Free" ones are among the very worst that are out there.  Remember "TANSTAAFL!" (There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch!)  If someone is out there on the Net with a website up and advertising you can bet your boots that he is getting paid somehow. 

Who's paying him? Usually it is the fringe survey-making companies who are too cheap to pay the survey takers and just keep recruiting people to rip-off. They pay the recruiter (read: Free Survey) company to recruit for them. Also it's one-time spamsters and others of that ilk who are trying to be (barely) legit and only send tons of unwanted mail to people who were gullible enough to double opt-in for something like surveys. So you sign up to be sent surveys to fill out, not realizing that paragraph 38 on page 3 of the Terms and Conditions said that they could permit their 'customers' to send you special offers!

2. Look at the size of the Paid Survey company.  The bigger ones that have been around longer are more stable and can't/won't fold their tents and disappear so easily.  Also, they got big by providing a useful service, pointing their clients toward real surveyors who pay in cash.  To continue to grow they need satisfied customers.
