If you’re not inspired enough to start your own business online, but still want to be part of the crowd making money online why not give paid surveys a try? I know that they’ve gotten a abad rap, but the truth is there are many legitimate paid survey compnies and some are even listed on the NASDAQ. I’ve put together a free list of survey companies to get you started at Paid Survey Success
I actually started Desty Online doing paid surveys. I stopped after two weeks. I had earned $10 and was upset. One night I spent 15 minutes filling out a survey to find out that I didn’t qualify for the survey. Also, I’m pretty honest, so when answering the filtering questions, there were alot of surveys out there I didn’t qualify for. So I started focusing that time I spent on surveys into this blog.
The great thing about online is that there are so many ways to make money if you put a little thought and effort into it. I think it’s interesting that you started out doing surveys because it is probably the easiest way for beginners to make money online. It is also interesting that you quit after two weeks because most people do just that. What they don’t know is that the survey companies are like any job, they don’t trust you with the important work until you have their trust. I got lucky and got two focus groups in the first month I was doing paid surveys - one for $150 and another for $225 - and it hooked me. Some months are better than others, but I’m glad I stuck with it.
Anyway, good luck with Desty Online. I can tell from looking around that you’ve been doing your homework and you’re definitely moving in the right direction. Just give it time and keep working.
Thanks for the well wishes!
