Ciao Surveys promise to give up to 7$ for each survey you provide them.
The problem is that the regular rate is much lower. The regular rate varies from 0.2 to 1 dollar.
It may take you about 15 minutes to answer the questions and i think it's pretty clear that they take amost all the money in their pockets.
A survey is worth a whole lot of moey in the business world. And what you got is probably the left overs from a much bigger budget. You also have to provide them with highly sensitive information about your eating habits, do you work out, is there anybody in your house having psychological problems, do you smoke, do you drink and how much do you earn.
These words of information is very powerful for a business to have and will give them loads of possibilities to make their products target even more markets.
My advice is to stay away from these surveys. You get too small amounts from the information you provide and it's a long way from the first nickle to your first dollars. It is tempting to think that all the information you provide in your account manager will be sold long before you get to the first survey. But be very careful of what information you release.
I have tried different surveys and they all seem like a big bogus. But what i dislike most is those who wants money from you first before you get any chance to answer any questions.
This is pure income to the company and it's very unfair too. You will need a long time to get these money back and it's more like a pyramid game then a pure survey business.
The more i have tried to learn how these surveys work, the more i have crossed the fine line
between advertising & spam. I higly advice you not to spam because it will make your ip adress unfriendly. You are warned. On the positive side, if you have loads of sparetime and don't care about the money. Then tis is a good way to answer surveys.
