MoneyHave you ever heard about people making money by filling out surveys online? Did you think it was a scam? Did it seem unbelievable?

I used to think those things. I used to think it was a pipe dream. That is, until I gave it a try. I made $200 in my first two months. I went through my share of scams too.

I decided to keep track of the good and bad and make that information publicly available.  I even provide monthly earning reports so that you can see the true side of earning money from paid surveys.

Think about what you could do with that extra cash from taking free online paid surveys!  Time for some new camping gear…
