Andy3568 mentioned the "winning surveys" niche (Walmart gift-card). If you want to make your living out of winning prizes, don't bother. But, if you are willing to spend 8 hrs. every day at your computer taking paid surveys AND winning surveys as an addition, I think you can increase your chances to make a good money. When I say a good money I mean $2000-$3000 per month nothing more. Forget about those who promise you tons of $$$. Just be consistent and don't give up.
Good luck.

From paid surveys alone, that's still too high to expect. And in the beginning I would say you can expect to make no more than $100 for the first month or so.
I'm not going to rule it out as impossible, but you would need to be doing focus groups and product tests as well and have a ton of referrals. You would also need to have the demographics they're looking for and be a member of at least 50 panels or so.

Personally, I would leave the surveys alone unless it is one in which you actually want to make your opinion known.
To build a profitable biz on filling out surveys is a waste of time.

Paid surveys is NOT a business, just a way to make EXTRA money. You get paid for your time and opinion, that's it.

I wouldn't recommend doing surveys. I tried it once. Never made a dime, spent hours trying to finish just one and ended up with an email box that was loaded with spam. I think they're bogus, but maybe someone has made it work.

Then you weren't taking real paid surveys. Legitimate survey sites will never spam you and you will get paid. Whatever survey site you were using was either a scam or a GPT site.

I agree with moneymaker1008. Dear Brandilu, you weren't taking real paid surveys. I will give you a little from my experience how I started to earn some extra money from them.
At first I tooke every paid survey I tought was paing something and I made a long list of all survey companies took surveys from and then I realized that some of them was spamming me so I devided my list to ligitimate companies which really paid me and a black list, companies that I will never return to. This way I did not waisted my time on surveys that don't pay.
These days I have a content site on the whole issue with ONLY legitimate sites on it. You can see there that I show you how much you will earn from each survey and who is eligible so you won't waist your time. Vist it!

And, unfortunately, anyone who tried surveys "once" or "for a month" and then walked away didn't stick with it long enough. It takes time, that is for sure.
It's a combination: the right sites, the right demographics (at the right time, there is no "perfect" person to be), and the right amount of persistence and patience.

happygal,
I am working online for a long time. The "perfect combination" thing is very easy to solve. You just go to the "Terms and Conditions" tab of each survey and you will find exactly what they are looking for. On my Blog I actually present you with the survey eligibility conditions so you won't waist your time. I do the research myself before I put it there.
Another tip for survey panelists: "Don't pay to be hired" - don't pay to take any surveys.
On my Blog all information is free and accesable to everyone.
Good Luck!

Oh, no, you see, I disagree completely. I don't want to try to "be" the person they are looking for. I think it's more important to be honest about who I am and what my purchasing habits are, etc. than to qualify.

I tried paid surveys and found that my return was to low for the time invested. I know that the first few months are rough but I just couldnt stick with it.
As others were saying, there are legitimate programs out there but for the most part you are at high risk at ending up with a scam

I have been making from taking surveys for the last 2 years, I don't recommend quitting any day jobs but I have been making a decent amount just as extra cash.

The majority of paid survey companies pay in sweepstakes entries or gift certificates. However, a fair number of them pay in cash (albeit sometimes in points that, once you hit a given threshold, can be redeemed in cash).
It takes due diligence and patience. You really have to join a big number of survey companies to make it potentially pan out, in cash. Of course, don't expect to get rich. Don't book the year long vacation to the Bahamas, just yet!

happygal,
if you want to be honest with the survey companies its your choice, but concider this: if the survey company publishes a survey about Nike shoes and targets it to Males 24+ YOA located in UK and you are 23 YOA and live in USA, you think your answers will be different? So if you are looking to EARN some extra money from taking on-line surveys AND get your opinion heard, you may use the info I put on my blog for each survey eligibility conditions. Don't be so picky, just take them, be honest and get paid.

At the same time, I am happy to earn money from paid survey sites too.

If you can do better than paid survey, choose that instead. Paid surveys isn't worth the time. If you can write an article for 30 mins. better be a writer.

Most people say that you cant make money with Paid surveys but I think that is totally wrong ! I use it since one week ago and I make around 20-30$ each day just doing 6-7 surveys. So it is great if you want to make decent money if you ask me
