(Don't) Earn from Paid Surveys

My experience with surveys aren't that great. Since last year, I believe, I have only amassed a total of USD 5 from surveys. The rest of you may think differently, but I have certainly not found earning money from surveys to be a worthwhile attempt.

Sure, you can sign up and leave your contact in hundreds of survey sites, but how many survey sites actually get back to you? Even if they do send you a survey once or twice when the moon shines blue, what is the chance that you will succeed going past the screening questionaire (by submitting honest answers)?

Yet today, you still see lots of online advertisements on Google for paid surveys. And worse, they promise the riches that sound too good to be true, because they really are. If you belong to one of those who will believe, or have believed in any of these earn $3,500 a month schemes, stop and think again. What's in it for people who will pay you that much money?

Our money don't grow on trees, and that goes the same for theirs, too, you know?
