Choosing to work from home for a paid survey company can be beneficial to your lifestyle. Even though there are a lot of perks to answering paid surveys, it is also important to be aware of the surveys that are not as legitimate as others. Here a few types of paid surveys that are genuine and also how to realize when a survey may be illegitimate or fake.

Genuine Paid Surveys:
  1. Known CompaniesIf a company that you have heard of and know a little about has created an opportunity to administer a paid survey, it is often genuine.
  2. Considerable PayIf the company that is asking you to partake in a paid survey is also rewarding you with a considerable amount of pay, that is a good sign that they are not trying to get over on you.
  3. Low DemandsIf the paid survey doesn't require you to do anything but partake in the survey and receive pay, it is a great way to determine how genuine they really are. There should be little to no demands of the survey taker, for it is their responsibility and choice to partake in this opportunity.
  4. KnowledgeEach person or company should provide an adequate amount of information about the company or product and the purpose of the survey. If you feel like you are aware of the company or person's purpose of creating this survey, you are more likely to give your all when answering the questions.
Illegitimate/Fake Paid Surveys:
  1. Unknown Company/PersonIf you are unaware of the company or you have never heard of the person and they do not offer a description of who they are and what their purpose for creating this survey is, that is a sign that they are hiding something. If you feel like you are being lied to or information is being kept from you, listen to those notions.
  2. Low PayIf the company is offering a survey that takes most of your time to complete and in return offer little to no pay at the end, that is a sign that the survey was in fact fake and illegitimate. Be sure that you have a written understanding from the company about how much they will be paying and how long they are expecting you to take on each survey.
  3. High DemandsIf you are required to make a payment or pay for an account in order to take the survey that is an automatic red flag. A paid survey should never ask for you to pay first in order to be paid.
  4. No reviewsIf there are no reviews or no good reviews about the company that is distributing the survey, that is something to be aware of. You want to be sure that you are doing business with a company or person that is well respected and known.
