Free Highest Paid Survey Review

**UPDATED** Read my reviews of the BEST online survey companies

A Free Highest Paid Survey Review article was needed to dispell some myths about how to get paid for online surveys.  (If you want to skip straight to the reviews of the best survey sites, click here)

What can I find the highest paid survey site?
Are membership sites better than free paid survey sites?
How much can I get paid to take online surveys?

These are some questions most beginners have.  Unfortunately, these "free" survey sites aren't what they seem to be, not if you are looking to earn a good living getting paid to take online surveys.

People think joining free paid survey sites might be the best option when starting out, but if you are serious about making money online with surveys, I urge you to STAY AWAY from free paid survey companies.  You'll never get the highest paid surveys.  Most of the time they only list 20-30 market research companies, which is nowhere NEAR enough to make a decent amount of money. Also, most of the free sites only list the companies that PAY THEM every time a potential participant registers. You will most likely get exactly what you paid for - nothing!

Membership sites, on the other hand, will usually have listings of OVER 400 QUALITY survey companies.  These companies will pay you to:

Take online surveys
Take phone surveys
Participate in focus groups (offline and online)
Try new products (and keep them!)
Preview new movie trailors (then one is great- paid to watch TV basically)

You see, to really get paid for online surveys, you need to sign up with A LOT of research companies, because not all companies will have surveys for you at all times.  The more companies you are registered with, the more money you can make!

Which Paid Survey Site?

You might be tempted to sign up with a free paid survey company, but it really isn't worth your time.  You won't find any of the highest paid surveys.  By spending just $20-$40 you can find a REPUTABLE membership site so that you WILL make money!

FDA blocks orange juice shipments from Canada
The Food and Drug Administration said Friday that it had detained orange juice shipments from Canada after they tested positive for low levels of a banned fungicide previously found in Brazilian juice. The FDA announced earlier this month that it would begin testing foreign orange juice shipments for the presence of the fungicide carbendazim before allowing them to enter the country. On Friday, the agency said that among 80 shipments from around the world it tested so far, six from Canada and five from Brazil had tested positive. The samples that have tested positive so far had carbendazim levels of between 10 and 52 parts per billion. The Environmental Protection Agency says carbendazim levels under 80 parts per billion do not raise safety concerns.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/rss/money_mostpopular/~4/hGt-CHR4UOQ" height="1" width="1"/>

Retirement saving: Don't shortchange the later years
Many people think they can plan on spending less later in retirement since they'll become less active as they age. But if their health declines, they may actually shift spending rather than reduce it. Do you think it's risky to plan as if one's expenses will go down later in retirement? --Tim, U.K.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/rss/money_mostpopular/~4/uEYpSIQeSaI" height="1" width="1"/>
