But are Free Paid Survey Sites too good to be true? Read on and find out.

Recently, I have been trying to save up for a new computer to aid my graphics designing work. Over the year I saved up about $300 cold hard cash from doing odd little jobs here and there, but I decided that this was no way near good enough if I want my own computer before the time I'm dead! So using the old, faithful Google Search Engine, I searched into ways to earn free money online, and I immediately signed up to what looked like the easiest and most promising option - Free Paid Surveys.

They claimed big things like earn $10 for just a simple 20 minute survey, or participate in a focus group survey and earn $150 an hour! or You can earn thousands of dollars by just completing surveys! Too good to be true! So of course I was tempted and took the bait. Hook, line and sinker! I signed up to over 10 different Free Paid Survey sites, and would of signed up to more if more of them sent money by Paypal and not by check.

So there I was, sitting in front of my computer, checking multiple times a day for new surveys to arrive. I was left desperate, greedy and almost insane. But disappointing, no surveys ever came, and I signed up for over 10 Free Paid Survey sites! Finally after about 2 weeks, a survey finally came claiming that I could earn $2.50 - $5 for completing a 30 minute survey! What the email didn't say, though it says in the fineprint of the site, was that it would take 2 months to process my survey and make sure it's "real", and another one month to pay me... once I reached the minimum payout! 3 months of waiting just for a mere $2.50? I can go begging on the streets and earn that amount of money in 5 minutes!
