Everyone that is trying to make money online probably has at some point tried to make money on surveys.  I haven’t though.  I have no interested in being scammed.  Every survey seems to me like a scam.  Fill in this questionnaire and we’ll send you an iPod.  Yeah, okay.  And I have a bridge in Kansas that I can send you.  Someone must be falling for these surveys otherwise they wouldn’t still be around.  I blame the teenagers and dumb people.  As Barnum of the circus fame once said, never underestimate the stupidity of the general public.  Or something like that.  I didn’t feel like looking the quote up.  So who’s made money on surveys?  The companies scamming the public into taking the survey.  Who’s taking surveys to make money and hasn’t made any?  Everyone.

If you’re trying to make money there’s lots of ways.  Get a job.  Start a blog.  Sell helado.  I don’t think one way to make money is by doing surveys.  I’m probably wrong as I have been many times in the past and will be many times in the future.  Oh, and I mean the real scammy looking surveys that you find online.  Those are the ones you can’t make money from.  I’m not talking about legit surveys from companies.  For instance, I recently received a bag of cookies and was asked to take a survey.  This was at a supermarket and was a legit company.  I wasn’t paid for it, but the cookies were free.  I guess I could’ve put the cookies on eBay and made some money.  Alas, I ate them.  These surveys are real — done by real people.  The surveys online that say who’s your favorite singer, choose one and we’ll send you an iPod or money or something is a scam.  I worked for Google for a few years and they tried their damnedest to get rid of every survey from the internet.  Why?  Because the number one lie on the internet is make money on surveys.  Ain’t happening.  Sorry.
