Tips

1. Make a separate email address, specifically designated for emails from survey sites. This will help keep all your offers and survey invitations organized. It will also help prevent the cluttering of your personal email address.

2. Remain ACTIVE! Once you start ignoring surveys, you might lose the will to complete future surveys. This will result in time wasted, as future rewards will be nothing of substantial value.

3. Check your email each and EVERYDAY! You don't want to miss out on an opportunity that could boost your earnings!

4. Sometimes there are security questions (especially in high-paying surveys) that can get you kicked out of surveys if you skim over them. Be mindful of them, they are becoming more prevalent in the longer, more tedious surveys.

5. Fulfill your quotas. Don't give up half way and waste all your hard work.

6. Fill out all of your profiles. Most survey sites have profiles for you to complete to filter surveys that do not apply to you. Filling out your profiles will increase your likelihood of receiving a survey that you can qualify for.

7. Download a free trial of Roboform. This will help you complete surveys much faster by eliminating the portion where you have to fill in your personal information.

Spotting Possible Scams

The following sites have had negative reports on various user reviews and sites.

We are not calling these sites scams because we are not certain. We are reporting the findings of a cumulation of opinions.

Here are some hints that might signify an illegitimate survey company:

• Sites that ask for membership fees but have outdated information on their site. By the time you have paid your money, it is too late.
• Sites that have non-working phone numbers listed.
• Sites that continuously send you to links that ask for more money.
• No help section, no faq, no email support.
• No members section.
• Monthly fees for "upgraded" memberships.
