Who has filled out an on-line survey and actually got paid for it?

I am looking for a legitimate site to fill out online surveys and get paid for it but I don't know which ones are the real deal!! Anyone who has received money from filling out an online survey please send me the link... Share the wealth....... Thanks.

Who has filled out an on-line survey and actually got paid for it?
I've listed most of the sites I have taken surveys through and actually been paid (or received other rewards like gift cards or CD'S) on the following webpage:





http://www.windhavenweb.com/surveys





I list how they pay you, what I like and dislike about them, whether they have an affiliate or referral program, etc. (And yes, if I say they have an affiliate program, I'm part of it, and make a commission when someone signs up through that link...I like to be up front about that).





As you're searching, here are some tips to avoid scams. Don't sign up for any survey site which asks you to pay to access the surveys. Also watch for language like "get paid for taking surveys AND SIGNING UP FOR OFFERS" if you don't want to have to sign up for stuff with other companies to get paid.





Always carefully read their terms of service and privacy policy. If in their privacy policy they say they only use aggregated info, this is GOOD SIGN they are legit. Aggregated info information that is grouped together so it can't be connected with anyones personal identification like name, e-mail, phone or address. That's what survey sites SHOULD collect. Avoid sites that say they give, rent, or sell any personal information (info that is not aggregated) to third parties (unless you really don't mind getting junk mail, telemarketing calls, and spam).





Also, never sign up for a survey through an unsolicited e-mail--since these might not even be from the site they claim to be, but could be a phishing scheme to get your information and mis-use it.





Here are two other sites which are very helpful

Reply:If you could actually sit on your azz making money, someone would have figured out a way to do it already, then someone else would've realized that there was a way to get money without doing anything, and the market would be flooded with people wanting money for doing virtually nothing.





Unfortunately it looks like you are going to have to get a real job after all.
