Hi,

        I have now completed my first ebook, but have not yet despite help from others figured out how to make it accessible. If anyone can help I would be pleased to hear from you. In the meantime I thought you might like to see an extract from my ebook.

One of the first things that was recommended to me when I went on line to look for an internet business, was Online Surveys. If you are new to the internet then this is something you will want to avoid as I will outline. Like many opportunities on the internet there is quite a bit of hype as to how you can make a living with online surveys.

I found that this was not true. You can sign up to survey groups for free although some groups will charge a small fee of $11 or $12 dollars. You then get access to a list of companies requiring surveys to be done. you will have to register with as many companies as you can and it is recommended that it should be at least 300 in order to make a decent return.

The Rewards! Well they are minimal as you will earn for most companies points which can be used to purchase goods, or you are entered into a draw for say $250 prize. If it is cash then it varies from $1 to perhaps $5 in extreme cases. The surveys take from a few minutes up to forty minutes depending on the complexity of the survey.

Findings: On four separate occasions over the past year I joined survey groups and having completed dozens of surveys I did not make a cent. I also found that if you live in the UK then only one third of the surveys available in the USA are available to you. Thirdly I found that my inbox was filled with junk mail.

I therefore recommend that unless you have loads of spare time and nothing better to do and do not mind if you make any money, then give online surveys a wide birth. Your time is just too precious! I know that it is true to say that surveys can be interesting and fun to do, but they really do not represent a viable proposition as an online business.
