Would you like to get paid to take surveys? That’s a promise you may have seen online somewhere. There are a number of platforms that say you can earn a few hundred dollars a month in exchange for your opinion. Is this legit? That’s what we’ll consider in today’s episode!
“This is Amanda, and I like taking surveys. I always take them for free, like when you call the airline and they ask if you'll complete a brief survey after the call. I also like getting paid, and I've seen a bunch of online offers that claim you can earn real money for answering questions. So I decided to try it out! I registered with several sites and spent a lot of time answering questions. So far I've made $80, but I've also spent a lot of time and went down a lot of dead-ends. More than once I'd register and complete a long survey, only to find out there were additional requirements at the end of the process. Still, several of these platforms promise you can make a few hundred dollars a month "just taking surveys." Should I believe them? ”
