There are multiple ways to make money online.  You can have a product or service that you are trying to sell, you can write—software or content (like blogging), but one other way that I know of to make money is to fill out Paid Surveys.

I have had friends that have filled out surveys, tested perfumes and done different things to make money, and there are good groups out there looking for your opinion.

That being said, you have to make sure that you do your homework when it comes to these places.  Some of them just end up being like spam in your mailbox—or they want you buy something to make something.

My advice would be, if you’re inclined to try and fill out some Surveys Paid would be to:

1. Create a new, free e-mail account separate from your personal account to register with these sites.
2. Read all the fine print in every opportunity.
3. Do an internet search and read up on the site that’s offering you things or money—see if there’s bad experiences or good ones.
4. Never give out personal information like real name or address to a site you are suspicious of.
1. You make take this one step further and pick up a Post Office Box so that your physical address is not given out.
2. Don’t give out your Social Security Number or anything that looks like information that could be used to impersonate you.
5. If you can’t unsubscribe, then it’s a good thing you followed #1, right?

I’m sure there’s money to be made, for people want others’ opinions, but some sane precautions are always worth the time.
