Paid survey websites are numerous and they tell you that you can get paid money to answer surveys that will be completed online with notification through your email. Most surveys are based on multiple choice questions and on completion you earn money, prizes or rewards.
The length on time to complete a survey averages around 20 minutes each with a cash reward varying from £1 to £5
It all looks so easy doesn't it? But what are the facts and WHAT'S THE CATCH!
Well there isn't one that is too obvious to most people. On paper it looks like a fail safe way of making money, overheads are low and you have all day and every day to fill in surveys and make a mint. That's what everyone thinks so they go for it, what have they to lose? They know there is no investment and all to gain so the floodgates open to joining every survey site with the promise of plethora of surveys and that holiday to the Caribbean in mind.
Like any business you should look further than what the survey companies say. You should look out for survey forums and see what feedback existing and past clients have to say. Look out for reviews on What companies are good and what are bad, this will save you so much time later on.
If you have looked at forum discussions and got a feel for the general consensus of survey work, you will know that it is a mine field of scams and only one party making the money, the survey companies!
What most of these survey sites promote and say is quite true but read between the lines! If you think you can make a living out of completing surveys you may be very much mistaken. There are many things these surveys don't tell you.
1. The country you live in may not qualify you to do the survey
2. If you don't fit the right criteria you don't qualify to do the survey, i.e. sex, age, ethnic background, job etc.
3. If you don't have the knowledge for the specific survey topic yo may not qualify
4. How many surveys are put to you
5. What the minimum payment is to transfer
I have spent the last six months experimenting with survey sites and it is my conclusion that if you live in the USA or the UK you have a better chance of making a success of making money. You will be consider a worthy consumer of goods and services and your experience will be more valid than someone who lives in Bulgaria. There are hundreds of more sites that are open to you to join so the advantages of your location put you in a privileged position.
Having checked out many sites and I now give you a run down of some of these with a hyperlink to the site begin described.
American Consumer Online PanelAs the name suggests it isn't just accessible to Americans. You can win prizes with filling out short surveys. Hard cash can be earned by completing the more comprehensive surveys that will be emailed. Payments aren't great but they send out regular surveys.
Permission ResearchThis paid survey site gives out free computer games to test along with free screen savers and free software for your computer. that's one of the rewards for answering surveys. It is an international access to surveys and money can be made by completing surveys from Permission Research.
The Great UK SurveyThis site is aimed specifically at members of the United Kingdom with surveys offered for completion to win cash and prizes. It's a new site but has a good payout and plenty of surveys.
Lightspeed InternationalWith Lightspeed you get paid to leave feedback on products before they get released to the public. They say is helps improve their products. You will need to live in the USA, Canada, UK or Australia to join up.
TolunaiPod's and Xbox 360's are some of the exacting things you get paid to review here. In many cases you will also be allowed to keep the products you survey.

UK Survey PanelOnce you join this site for free they will contact you as soon as there are any surveys to complete and relies on relationships with lots of other paid survey sites where the survey come from so not totally reliable
Consumer Lifestyles UKYet another offered only to people based in the UK. Entries into prize draws are the rewards with large sums of money, brand new cars, and luxury holiday trips from answering some of their surveys.
*****************************
The websites listed above are all free to join. My recommendation is that you never pay any money over for online surveys. They should be paying you! If you are asked for money the chances are the deal is a certain scam, you won't get any work and you certainly won't get you money back.
If you qualify you can apply for every single survey site open to you and see what happens. Like I said, no cash investment is needed and the only thing you have to lose is time spent doing this.
Finally "BEWARE" Many of these companies may use your email address you give on registration. This may be passed onto third parties so get a disposable email address as insurance against spam.

The pub quiz, not a make millions idea but there are some out there who make a good living out of it. If you like a good night out have a good general knowledge, why not go for it? At the very least it will be a night out and a break from the norm.
Like I mentioned earlier, there are people who will travel around different pubs and bars entering pub quizzes purely for profit and make a living out of the system. Landlords that know about these people don't often like them as entrants for lots of reasons. Firstly they don't usually buy drinks which is the reason for he event in the first place and secondly they don't join in the fun and are a bit of a damper on the atmosphere, especially if other entrants know about them. Their sole aim is to win the quiz, grab the winning and move onto the next venue and next pub quiz. Landlords have been know to ban the professional band of money making spoilers. The pub is a local community service and locals deserve to win the quiz is the reason for these bans.
