While you should look for survey companies that offer financial compensation, you should watch out for companies that charge you a fee to complete surveys. The unfortunate truth is that some companies will charge you a fee to join their site, so you will need to pay money before you can work on surveys. An up-front fee is a warning sign that the company may be trying to scam you, so you should avoid working with these companies. Instead, look for companies that offer free membership.

Survey work from home is a wonderful job opportunity for many people. Stay-at-home moms in particular can benefit from this type of job as a way to stay financially productive. You can easily complete a few surveys while the kids are napping in the afternoon or in the evenings when you otherwise would be reading your friends posts on Facebook. This is a great income-producing opportunity for others who want to make money at home too. For example, college students, retirees and even full-time workers who want to earn extra money but who don't want to commit to a second job with regular work hours all can benefit from this type of job.
