Information overload!

Goodness - I have been saturated with information on how to make money! So much to choose from, so much hype and BS! Who do you believe? Very difficult to actually get to the bottom of how people are making money on the internet. I am pretty sure that some of the claims are true and that there is a minority of people making good money. Sorting out the truth from the downright lies is a bit more tricky.

One claim that is all over the internet is that you can make money doing surveys. Have I tried it - yes. Have I made any money - a little.

1. Beware - do not pay money for lists of survey companies. The information is freely available if you know where to look for it.

2. Don't believe the claims that you can make a good living out of this. So far I have made small amounts of Paypal that I have spent on Ebay - and that is it.

I belong to several survey opportunities. Don't forget that you are limited as to which surveys you are offered. When a company commissions a survey they are usually looking for a particular group of people - a certain age, income group, demographic location etc. So when you join you start with a short survey about yourself. This will enable the survey company to decide which surveys to offer you. If you don't fit the profile - you wont get offered the survey.

The next point is that it is VERY BORING.

This is the one I have made a bit of money with:
LIGHTSPEED

Give it a try. Remember - if your demographic profile is different to mine you may get more out of it. You get points for doing the surveys and you redeem the points for gifts, vouchers or Paypal.

Good luck!
