World Of Paid Surveys Scam?

A lot of survey companies automatically get questioned because of the industry, and I have hear a couple of people throw around the idea that World Of Paid Surveys is a scam – so today I wanted to take a look at their business model, what they offer, and whether it is the best option for you if you are looking for legitimate paid surveys.

What Is World Of Paid Surveys?

World of Paid Surveys is basically a survey aggregation website.

What they do is you pay them a signup fee and they have access to a large selection of market research companies and email you survey opportunities. In other words it is like you are signing up for a heap of survey websites in one go.

Is World Of Paid Surveys A Scam?

Now what they are offering is completely legal, but a couple of things makes me a little weary of them:

1. You Have To Pay To Access Them

   I am a believer that if you are doing online surveys, then the market research companies should be paying you – not you paying them.

   You are doing them a favour, so I would much rather sign up with Lightspeed Surveys or some other survey company that does not require a payment, then part with $25 before I even start making money.

2. They Make It Seem Easier Than It Is

   If you visit their home page they promote that you can $20 for a simple multiple choice survey with just 60 questions.

   From my experience, this is unheard of, and for something similar most paid online surveys would give you about $1-2 for something similar.

Now these two things do not make World Of Paid Surveys a scam, but it should make you wary – and it would not be my choice for making money from surveys.

What I recommend:

Instead of paying to sign up for an aggregation website that (may) send you more surveys then you could have time to complete (I personally doubt you would get accepted in that many). I would personally sign up with a few of the reputable Australian sites for paid surveys – and see how you go with them before you look at expanding your reach.
