I think it was in 2005, shortly before the birth of my son, that I attempted my very first work-from-home (WFH) job. For the life of me I can't remember how I found the site, but it sounded fairly simple and looked viable so I plugged in my Visa number and took my chances.
The site was called paymesurvey.com and for the most part it lived up to it's promises. I've checked back to the site and it no longer exists and to be honest I'm not surprised. Looking back on my memories of the site it certainly had that fly by night feel, but I looked past it's cheaply made website and paid the $30 - $50 that they were asking for a lifetime membership (which obviously was referring to the lifetime of the site and not myself).
From my experience with paymesurvey.com I learned a valuable lesson. When you do pay to join these work-from-home sites make sure you save all the valuable information on the site for yourself. This way if the site does go belly-up, you still have everything you need to continue if that is what you want to do or you can share that information with others as I am going to do.
Though it was never my intent republish the list at the time, I saved their long list of survey sites so that I could go to them without having to constantly log in to the paymesurvey.com website. If anyone is interested in having the list of Survey sites email me at wfh_experiment@live.ca and I'll send you the list. It didn't work for me, but it could work for you. In most cases when you do the surveys you get entered into draws for money or prizes.
Overall Rating for this Online Opportunity: 5/10
There is a lot of upfront time investment required before you will see any benefit, but there are some great rewards available mostly in draws, which if you are lucky, taking surveys could actually pay of, but it is a complete gamble on your luck of the draw.
