These days everyone knows that you can make for surveys online, but I'm not positive that everyone knows exactly how lucrative it can actually be.
I was unhappy with my job last year, with so much commuting and traveling, I felt my life was passing me by without enough time for my family.
I was motivated to find a way to run my own business from my home or local office.
At first I struggled trying to find something that I both liked and that would pay at least enough to offset my previous salary.
I admit it took several months for me to find a suitable way for me to make real money online.
Four months after I started researching I signed up for my first survey program and before long, much to my surprise, I was enjoying a comfortable living, making more money then I was at my full time stressful job.
So why are companies paying people money for surveys? In order for companies to offer higher quality products to customers, they need customer feedback, and these companies aren't going to waste valuable manpower setting up survey booths in malls or spending too much internal marketing dollars.
They are able to achieve the very same results by paying people to fill out their online money surveys.
Remember, I'm not just talking about one of these money survey websites that offer a free sign-up.
You get what you pay for.
These free sign-up money for surveys websites often offer surveys from companies or website owners looking to add to or develop a mailing list rather then requiring legitimate product research.
For those of us who are more interested in earning a living than twiddling our thumbs for a dollar, there are some great programs available that pay you well for your opinion of real products.
The most reputable money survey websites include:

• Membership Fee: Any real legitimate money survey company has some sort of fee.
  The fact of the matter is that this is the only way to weed out both serious companies requiring surveys and serious survey participants such as yourself, and eliminate scam artists.
  Any legitimate company looking for product surveys is going to use an established and properly supported survey program in which to promote and distribute their surveys.
  The companies also appreciate that these survey programs act as a thorough screening process, which only allows the best applicants to join their service.
  
• Large Companies: If your money for surveys company is legitimate, they are going to have a number of large name clients.
  Many of these companies have names such as Coca Cola, Taco Bell, Verizon, and Burger King on their client list.
  You won't see any of these large names on any of the free paid survey websites.
  That is because none of these large companies would trust their data to a survey company with a less than trustworthy screening process.
  

So if you are looking for a better life then your current daily rat race, or simple would like your own business that offers more long term security (especially during these uncertain times), then earning online money for surveys is something you should definitely look into.
