Wham or Scam

You may have heard that you can get paid for online surveys in the UK. You may think that it’s a scam and most of the programs out there are. Not in the fact that there is no such thing as paid online surveys in the UK; more in the fact that a lot of these programs over hype the amount you usually get paid to fill them in.

The Lowdown.

You can get paid online surveys in the UK and a lot of other countries. I have come across a lot of sites that have said there is no point buying into these programs because you can always find the information for free elsewhere. I have also found that to be true, but there are other survey companies that are hard to find unless you buy these programs. It has taken me literally weeks to come across the survey companies that the survey programs have on their list. If you want to have these survey companies at your fingertips then it is best to buy a survey company.

The Highlights.

I bought PaidSurveysEtc thinking that it was going to be another one of the money wasting programs. I was pleasantly surprised. After logging on I found 6 pages full of companies to sign up for. Whilst a majority of them were for residents of the US and Canada, there were still plenty available for those wanting to take paid online surveys in the UK.

The Downside

It takes a long time to sign up for the survey sites. A lot of them involve signing up and then answering ‘profile surveys’. This is a time consuming effort, and then you have to wait for the surveys to come through. At first there weren’t that many surveys coming through, now I have too many, so it does happen eventually.

Another thing you will need to consider is whether to sign up for survey sites that only offer cash incentives or whether you would be happy being entered into a prize draw after completing a survey. All I would say is don’t automatically dismiss the prize surveys; I won three times – one prize worth $50.00, one worth $25.00 and one $100.00. These can be worth it!

In Conclusion

Whilst it is worth bearing in mind that the figures quoted on the sale page are over inflated, they are not far off what could be earned. A survey worth £1.25 for a 15 minute survey is £5.00 per hour. OK, it’s not exactly minimum wage, but it’s still extra money and a lot of the surveys I have taken are actually worth a lot more that this.

Although it takes some time for the surveys to come through, I managed to pay off the cost of the program within a couple of weeks, and that was even when I didn’t do every survey that was sent to me. If you are willing to give it a go then visit PaidSurveysEtc. There is a 100% money back guarantee so you can try it risk free for 8 weeks and if you don’t like it then you can ask for your money back. You can do paid online surveys in the UK. It costs  $34.00 with a coupon cost  with a number of  options  for paying.

Yep, i’m still going and nope, no commission yet but the stuff that I am learning would never have been possible had it not been for Wealthy Affiliate. Before I would just launch into a Pay Per Click campaign and thinking I knew it all I ultimately ended up spending way too much on my campaigns. Wealthy Affiliate teaches you the tricks you need to know to get you those visitors and not end up bankrupt. If you don’t have money to be spending on the Pay Per Click there are free methods you can use that work equally well, if not better, than Pay Per Click campaigns.

I have been promoting products using the free methods and it is slowly working. The number of visitors to my sites are increasing day by day and I feel that a sale is not too far away. Fingers Crossed.

On a brighter note I introduced a friend to Wealthy Affiliate three weeks ago and she has already made three sales worth over $100.00. Am I jealous? Hell yeah, but I am also very happy for her because she was such a skeptic. She is also a lot better at understanding things than me. I have difficulties in understanding instructions - I learn by doing - which takes a lot longer to get results, it just means that when I do get that commission it will all be worth it.
