Anyone who has spent hours searching the internet probably has come across many web ads that state you could make up to $150 an hour just by giving your opinions on various surveys. Some of the ads also claim that it allows you make a good living while working from home. It sounds like a very tempting offer to those wanting to stay at home with their kids or maybe just do away with the daily commute to a job. Is it as good as it sounds?

There are legitimate companies out there that will pay someone to take a survey for them. They want to know what their consumers are looking for in a particular product, so they can make improvements to their company’s products to gain more sales. The key to this process, however, is that these companies target certain qualifications for a survey they put out.

Sometimes they target those with various ethnical backgrounds, those of a certain gender, certain age groups, those who live in certain areas, work certain types of jobs and a lot of times they’ll combine a couple of these in order to obtain the answers they need. For example, they may put out a survey for women 35-40 years old who live in the southeastern part of the United States.

So the question is can you earn a living filling out these surveys? Getting paid to fill out surveys is much like playing the lottery. You buy a ticket for the lottery and you either win or you lose. In order to make a substantial amount from the surveys, you must meet pre-qualifying requirements every time you’re invited to participate in a survey. It’s not likely that you will always meet the requirements necessary for every survey.

There are many survey companies that you can sign up for. They ask you a few questions about yourself, so they know when you’re compatible for a particular survey. When a survey comes up that you may qualify for, you’re sometimes asked to answer a few more questions prior to taking the survey to find out if you really meet the requirements needed. If you’re compatible, you can continue on to take that survey. If not, they usually put your name in a sweepstakes drawing to win a cash prize.

Each survey company is different. Some will pay you cash for the completed surveys, some will award you points to be used to “buy” products with them, and others will pay you by putting your name in a drawing they do at certain times of the year. The ones that pay cash are usually $5-$25. The ones that award you points generally have it set up so that you need a substantial amount of them in order to make $10.

The survey companies that put your name in drawings as payment usually offer cash prizes of $100-$10,000. This sounds wonderful, if you’re lucky enough to have your name drawn.

The ads that are all over the internet say you can make up to $150 an hour filling out surveys aren’t really considered false advertising, because it’s certainly possible for someone who can meet all of the requirements all the time for every survey company they signed up for. It is, however, unlikely that a person will accomplish that.

So, is it worth quitting a job that consistently pays you to work- for a work at home filling out surveys job that pays you a small amount when you qualify to participate in a survey. This is only a decision you can make for yourself, but do keep this article in mind when making that decision.
