Are All Paid Surveys Free to Take?

 

A question that we are regularly asked is whether all online surveys are free to take. The answer we always give to this question is yes. If a market research site is legitimate and is prepared to pay you in cash or vouchers there will NEVER be a charge to sign up to it.

 

Why should I not pay for a survey database?

 

You should never waste money signing up to a database of 'survey sites' because the vast majority of paid survey sites can be found completely free of charge. We have a huge UK and International survey section which lists all market research sites at no cost to you. Other reasons include:

• The survey database could be a scam site where you pay your money and receive nothing in return
• The survey database may only list sites that are available in a certain country. For example you may live in the UK but find that all sites listed within the database are for people in the USA and Canada
• Its likely you will receive numerous spam emails from a paid survey database, many of which will not earn you any money at all.
• These database sites will offer you the chance to earn thousands every month taking surveys. This is simply not possible, although you can earn some extra cash on the side its not possible to quit your regular job taking surveys online.

You should avoid pay to sign up databases at all costs.

Some great free market research sites that are available to people from around the world include:

Global Test Market
