i tried to do this in the uk but i dont drive so focus groups i cant do.
The online surveys i did also wanted a monthly fee which they said would be less then id make but that put me off.
I could certainly do with extra cash right now so if anyone could pm me with links to usa money making online surveys i would really appreciate it!

I'm getting a real kick out of this thread, this is what I do for a living. But as I mentioned earlier, NO legitimate company will ask you to pay to participate. That is a scam.

Edited to say - depending on who you sign up with you may receive a couple of invites a week (appropriate) or up to 20/day (completely inappropriate). I don't know who you signed up with but hope it's one of the good ones.

Re: How to make some extra money in these tough times.
I'm not sure how useful the data is that is collected from these things.
I became frustrated at completing anywhere up to 10 minutes of a survey to be told I wasn't in the target audience, with no credit for all that time already taken.
Its usually obvious which market they are looking for, and I'll adjust my answers to ensure I get to complete the survey if I've already committed any period of time to it. The result is completely fictitious responses. Maybe these survey companies ought to reward everyone who gets at least a certain part of the way through a survey...

Some companies do give you points or similar for attempting to qualify for a survey. If you've done 10 minutes before you've been disqualified that's a very poorly written survey.

Re: How to make some extra money in these tough times.
And sometimes, not always, there are algorithms looking for people who have changed their answers to qualify for a survey. You can get banned from a panel for doing that. Just a heads up.
Some companies do give you points or similar for attempting to qualify for a survey. If you've done 10 minutes before you've been disqualified that's a very poorly written survey.

i my experience most of the proposals online are bordering on fraudulent deceit, flooding your mailbox, and reveal your privet information on the network.
