The Senior Citizen and Surveys

You have heard the hype, got it in your SPAM box, in your inbox, and probably even got it from your internet service provider, or email provider.

"Make money taking surveys".

"Work at home taking surveys".

"We want your vote".

"We want your opinion".

Sounds like an ideal job for a Senior Citizen.

Can you really make money?

From those emails that are in your SPAM box you can expect to enter your creditcard number, and then bend over.  The best that you can expect from these is a list of authentic survey companies.

From your internet service, or email provider, your name will be entered into a drawing for a monetary prize.  Many of the surveys are concerning new products, and for those products that you express an interest in, you can expect to receive coupons in the mail.  Many of the surveys are for services concerning such as house remodeling, window replacement, permanent siding.  From the firms that are involved in these services, you can expect telephone calls from "Hard Sell" salesmen.

There are legitimate firms which do pay for taking surveys.  They represent legitimate clients which are interested in polls concerning a variety of products, services, and information.  The problem is the pay itself.  Tenth of a cent for an email survey.  A nickel for an extended online survey.  And the survey companies normally have a high limit of fifty or one hundred dollars before they pay your accumulated earnings.

So you can make money taking surveys.  Just don't expect a lot.  Perhaps you are interested.  Where can you find these legitimate companies?  Search on line.  Remember that if you are required to pay a fee, the firm  is not legitimate.
