Survey Scout Review

http://www.SurveyScout.com

Survey Scout claims that they can show you how to earn $5-$75 for online surveys, and up to $150 an hour for participating in focus groups. They also advertise that they can help you take part in phone surveys that can bring in as much as $120 an hour and movie trailer surveys that earn $4-$25 an hour.

This all sounds great, but is it for real or is Survey Scout a scam? We wanted to get the facts about this so-called opportunity so we took a close look at Survey Scout. Here's what we discovered...

Survey Scout is not a market research firm and they themselves don't administer any surveys. What the are is a membership site that gives you access to a large list of companies who run paid surveys, focus groups, and test studies. Inside the members area, there are resources for over 400 companies. These companies that you will be signing up for work with major brands to do market reseaech and collect opinions from typical consumers. These are the paid surveys. Survey Scout also has resources for other ways to earn with paid email, paid games and paid search.

If theres one thing about Survey Scout that bugs me its that they exaggerate the ammount of money you can earn taking paid surveys. While you can make a few dollars each for taking surveys, the higher paying surveys and focus groups are very rare and hard to come by. Realistically, paid surveys are real (and are not a scam) but they are best for supplementing your earnings and shouldnt be seen as a way to make a full time income.

Here's where Survey Scout really impressed me - they do offer everything you need to make sure that you can make the most possible money with paid surveys. Here's why... in order to make the most with surveys, you need to join as many companies as possible. By using the list that they provide, you will be able to quickly register for many companies and increase the number of paid survey offers you get. They also don't stop with paid surveys. Included in the Survey Scout members areas are other ways to make money with "get paid to" programs and even a list of work from home jobs.

Survey Scout and paid surveys in general are one of the few real ways for ordinary people to easily earn cash online. If you have spare time and need an easy way to make extra money for your family, Survey Scout just might be perfect for you.
