My name is John Williams and I have been in the Internet Marketing business full time for the last 10 years, I know how to generate cash on the web to say the least. I have broken my silence about free to join survey sites and how they get you to pay, often times hundreds of dollars. I know this because in some of my internet marketing ventures free has been a very powerful sales tool. (until karma came and kicked me in my behind, or maybe it was my wife) DO NOT STRAY AWAY FROM THIS PAGE I’m about to save you hundreds of dollars and keep you safe from all the vultures.
1) e-mail Collection Pits
I have not found 1 site that offers you free info without collecting your e-mail address, and this includes free survey sites. They will give you free places to take surveys, often times the surveys don’t pay cash. Most times this creates a hunger and desperation to make extra money online. Then in a few weeks you will receive a e-mail, written by a professional copywriter of course telling you that if you want to make the real money here’s my course for the today only price of $99.
Why does this work? They already gave you free info, you may have made 5 bucks or so and now you trust them! This may not seem like something you would fall for but in time you will. Your inbox will be full of crap like this.

2) Credit Card Offers
What’s the perfect place for a credit card offer, gee let’s think, maybe a place where someone is trying to make some extra cash. One of the oldest hat tricks on the web attach a credit card offer at the end of a survey taken by someone who is in need of some extra cash, plus who ever the survey belongs too, gets paid a commission when you complete the offer. Free survey sites are full of these.
3) Reserch Affiliates
Ever heard of a research affiliate? No, well now you have. Research affiliates recruit people to join free survey sites and receive a commission when you purchase a product after you fill out the survey, aren’t these surveys supposed to pay you. The most common is the old credit card offer at the end of a survey. BigSpot.com is a huge reserch affiliate
Research affiliates are the people who are offering you a free list of survey sites you can join for free. (I think after your done here you’ll have a different perspective on free)
Another little trick is in order for you to receive cash, usually $2-$5 dollars, you must complete a free trial, you can cancel at anytime and if you cancel you don’t get paid.
4) Free Trial Hat Trick
Like above mentioned the free trial trick. The survey company says you will be a certain amount and at the end of the survey you must take the free trial. You can cancel at anytime but you won’t get paid. This happens a lot.
5) Address Collection Pits
Your physical address, they want it, mail order companies want you address especially after they know what kind of products you buy by filling out the survey. Manny research affiliate sites will use this to collect mailing addresses for resale and them attach a free trial offer at the end. When you forget to cancel, or when the company make canceling impossible they get paid.
These are the 5 main scenarios you will find when dealing with free survey sites, they are more like sales sites if you ask me. These site are very profitable because they have countless streams of income. These site do pay cash but will only send one cash offer per month maybe even less. I singed up with BigSpot.com to see what kind of offers they send out and they were countless credit card offers, free trials, even some product offers, plus my inbox is full of crap too, they sold my e-mail when they said they wouldn’t.
Pay To Join Is Your Best Bet
Pay to join sites are really simple, you pay a small fee to join and you will receive cash paying offers only. Your may have to sign up for the research companies also, but they know where you came from, in fact some of the research companies work exclusively with the paid survey site. I know this is true for Paid Surveys Etc., which is a survey site my wife participates in.
There is no need for them to send you tricky offers like the ones above because they make their money up front. This I feel is a more honest approach, wouldn’t you agree.
The basic workings of a pay to join survey site (I made a few phone calls when my wife said she was going to join) Okay basically you pay the up front fee, which in most cases offer a money back guarantee. You then have access to their members area where you agree to receive offers for cash paying surveys. Sometimes surveys are available instantly. You complete the survey and they will send you a check either monthly of bi weekly.
These research companies can pay cash, good cash because they are working for fortune 500 companies who have billions to spend on market research and just want your opinion that’s it nothing more. Plus they do not want their name attached to anything scam orientated, if they did their reputation could be badly damaged.
Pretty simple pay a fee to join, they already have established good relationships with research companies and they want your opinion.
If I would recommend a survey site I would recommend Paid Surveys Etc. remember that phone call I made when my wife joined. No I wasn’t mean I just wanted to know how their business worked. They told me because I am a successful internet marketer, they have contacted me to promote their site before, said no and now I’m calling them you guessed it they told me everything.
