I have just recently joined a survey site called survey-platinum
The things I liked about it is:
1. Its cheap to join ($35) and its a one time payment
2. I have already made the $35 bucks back in one day
3. Its easy to do
I found a site called Online-Paid Surveys.com. Its a good site filled with survey site information and it lists the good, bad and customer input of almost every survey site out there.
Survey-Platinum is the most popular and top-ranked survey site on the web so I took a chance and so far so good.

Hello Blagger,
Just because you didn't earn any money with surveys, that doesn't mean that they are a waste of time.
Like any other online opportunity, it takes time and effort to build an income with surveys. Many people say the same thing about SFI that you say about surveys, but try to convince many of the members of Biz Whiz that SFI is a waste of time, and they will laugh at you.
To earn money with surveys, you have to do the following:
1. Study. Don't expect things to be all rosy just because the ad looked good when you signed up. Take the time to learn the mechanics of the survey business. This will allow you to identify your particular niche.
2. Continually update your registrations as your survey company updates their data base. New marketing firms are looking to test their products all of the time, so the data bases will constantly grow.
3. Create a seperate Email account just for survey business, and make sure that you turn off all of the spam filters for this account. Often, surveys will trigger a spam filter, and you will never even know that someone wanted you to take part.
4. When you fill out a questionaire for a potential survey, you might find out that you don't qualify for that particular survey. Send a thank you note and ask to be considered for future surveys.
The magic words, "Please and Thank You" never go out of style.
5. When you are offered surveys that result in points, coupons or drawings, fill them out! These are often used as qualifyers by different companies. By completing them, you show that you are serious about participating, and as a result, you increase your chances of being contacted with cash offers.
6. Be truthful and give complete demographic information when applying. Don't pretend to be a 24 year old woman, when you are actually a 35 year old man. These companies have junk filters too, and they can see through this nonsense in a New York Second.
7. Search for forums that concentrate on surveys. You will be pleasantly surprised by what you find. There are folks out there who are willing to share what they have learned. Take advantage of that help to refine your survey skills.
Nobody ever promised that you would get filthy stinking rich by completing surveys, but if you follow these seven steps, you stand a good chance of earning enough to pay a couple of extra bills each month. Besides, its fun!
