Paid Surveys are legit and you can make some money taking paid surveys.
However the work it takes to do paid surveys is not worth the pay you get.
I have been paid by paid survey websites but it took me 2 years of doing the paid surveys in my spare time to make even $100.00
The work involved for that $100.00 was not worth it but I continued taking the paid surveys until I reached the payout to see if they actually paid me.
Also I had nothing else to do anyway and would be sitting watching TV or doing nothing.
I do not take paid surveys anymore though because it's just not worth it.
I now make money online blogging though.
I run a blog that after 10 years of blogging is making me more than my job ever did.
I make $10,000.00 to $15,000.00 per month through blogging and Adsense as well as affiliate ads.
When I first started blogging though I was not making money for the first 2 years.
But now after all that hard work writing all those blog posts I now can sit back and rake in the money without doing much work.
I still try to publish a few blog posts every month when I can come up with an idea for a blog post.
But the blog is basically just a cash machine that makes me money while I sleep, go on vacation or just do nothing.
