Default Get Paid to Surveys

Has anyone ever done this **** because seriously i am broke and i wanna know if it will work lol.

Dear Student,

Going to school requires a serious commitment, but most students still need
extra money for rent, food,
a nice car, new clothes, cell phone, computer, plus gas, books, tuition,
pleasure and a whole list of other things.
So what do you do? "Find some sort of work", but the problem is that many
jobs are boring, have low pay and rigid/inflexible schedules.
So even if you get a job, you are in the middle of mid-terms, finals or a
term paper and you need to study but you have to be at work,
so your grades and education suffer at the expense of your "College Job".

Sit Back, Relax, and Get Paid for What You Think!!

Taking a simple, easy online survey - $5 to $55 per survey!
Participating in an online focus group - $20 to $80 per hour!
Trying out new products, everything from shoes to stereos - Keeping the
products and getting paid!
Previewing Movie Trailers Online - Then answer a yes/no questionaire (did I
like it) for $12 to $25

Now you can do flexible work that fits your schedule! Our company and
several nationwide companies want your help.
We are looking to expand, by using independent workers we can do so without
buying new buildings and equipment.
This type of work is great for Students who are seriously looking for extra
income!

If you are interested please email me at: dont want anyone stealing my job lmao
Hope to hear from you soon,

Lora Parker

honestly, I really, REALLY doubt they're legit... i've always figured it was a scam of some kind or that they just flat-out wouldn't pay you for it (loopholes)

Actually, there are many legit ones out there. Pinecone Research is considered one the of the most legit ones. They will give you $5 per survey, and $5 for a follow-up survey which usually entails sending you the product you are reviewing. They're online surveys, so they're easy. All of them are mostly the same, asking how you feel about the packaging and the colors, etc. Really lame, takes 10 minutes to do one. I made quite a bit during my senior year of college, and I was just filling them out while I was taking a break from writing papers.

Damn, that sounded like a paid ad...

I'm not sure how it works out with taxes. Dunno if you claim it as earned income or what.
