Are Online Surveys A Legitimate Way To Make Money?


So, you've come across an ad or offer promising that you can earn a full-time income working part-time taking simple online surveys...
Is it true or a SCAM?
Well...kind of both.
So, can you really make money online taking surveys? YES. I've done it.
Can you really earn a full-time income taking those same surveys? Again, yes...but it's WAY more difficult and time-consuming that you'd expect.
There are people that have done it and are doing it but I can assure you that when they divide the time they're actually spending going through these surveys it probably comes out to only nickels and dimes per hour...far less than a minimum wage job.
So, why are these offers so popular?
Honestly, it's because naive people just coming online really want to believe that it's possible...
And most people are attracted to the idea of being able to support themselves and live a comfortable life by only working a few hours per day and clicking a few buttons on their computer.
So, that's why those online survey ads and offers are so popular and have been for so long.
Most of the sites that offer the opportunity to earn money in exchange for your opinion or to take surveys are actually free to join.
But, these survey products simply package up the information of how to navigate these sites and give you a list of some of the more popular ones, and then charge your either a one-time price or a monthly subscription for access to that information.
So, there's usually a high churn rate or turnover with these kinds of products and offers, because as soon as people realize that they're not going to make much money at all filling out surveys and that it's really not worth the time they're trading to do so, they tend to move on to the next shiny object or get-rich-quick-scheme.
So, if you're going to do anything in regards to trying to making money with surveys, your best option would be to promote these kinds of offers to others as an affiliate.
You may feel a little shady promoting these kinds of offers all over the Internet now that you know the truth, but that's where all the money is at.
One the other hand, if you'd like some alternative suggestions for simple and sustainable methods of generating a full-time income online, that aren't going to cost you a fortune in startup costs and won't take you a ton of time each day to start getting some traction...
I would recommend exploring solutions like creating your own online courses on platforms like Udemyor Skillshare, or learning how to build simple niche affiliate SEO websites.
Both of these methods are excellent ways to start creating a solid passive income stream that can eventually replace your full-time job.

SEO Strategies For Affiliate Marketing

SEO (search engine optimization) is actually pretty simple. It mainly comes down to two things: on page SEO and off page SEO. On page SEO just means  optimizing your content  to rank for certain keywords. The main elements on the page you want to make sure and include your target keywords are your Title and URL. As far as the body itself don't worry so much about using the exact phrases you're going after word for word... It's more important that you concentrate on providing as much value as possible and writing for humans instead of trying to  keyword stuff  and trying to maintain a certain  keyword density . The other half of the SEO equation is off page SEO. This just means backlinks or  links from other high authority or relevant sites  pointing to the piece of content you're trying to rank. Off page SEO is also pretty simple - it mostly comes down to... The authority of sites linking to yours The relevance of the sites linki...

How To Promote Clickbank Offers Using Bing Ads

One of the oldest, most popular, and easiest affiliate networks to get started with is  Clickbank . And one of the fastest methods of getting results online is paid traffic. PPC (pay-per-click)  is one of the more popular paid traffic sources, especially for beginners. Pay-per-click basically works like SEO (search engine optimization) but on steroids. So, instead of optimizing content perfectly and waiting for it to rank, you just pay to show up. However, when it comes to promoting affiliate offers, or, more specifically,  direct linking to affiliate offers , huge networks like Google AdWords aren't usually that friendly. But, luckily  Bing Ads  is a lot more open to affiliate marketers and allows you to direct link to your affiliate offers. So, if you're just getting started with: affiliate marketing, promoting Clickbank offers, or Bing Ads in general this is something that works. Now, to give yourself a little more of an edge though over all...

Solo Ads For Weight Loss Niche

One of the most popular niches for solo ads is the biz opp and make money online space. But that's not the only big niche out there. The top 3 super niches are: health, wealth, and relationships So, there's definitely a LOT of money to be made outside of the make money online industry. And solo ads for these other niches work the same way as they do with buying clicks for a biz opp offer. The issue is where do you find a quality solo ad vendor for some of these other niches? Well, the one that I like to use is called  Trafficforme . The reason I like Trafficforme is They have a very newbie-friendly, simple to use dashboard, which makes placing your order very easy They allow you to scale and buy lots of clicks (very important if you've got a profitable campaign) And they offer solo ad clicks for a variety of different niches, which means you don't have to dig around and try to find another reputable vendor if you decide to run traffic to an offer in ...
