couple questions

[dude123]

so i was wondering, are these sites possible for teens to use? What kind of stuff do they send me at home? Do they send me spam mail? What are some of the best survey sites? Is it safe? Basically im a teenager who would like to make extra money for extra stuff like an ipod, or some video games, or somthin, my email is tomtom10203@hotmail.com and AIM is DoubleTrouble705.

I have a Teen directory here Teen Directory which lists sites which are specifically geared towards teens. You may also want to check out the Music Directory as well.

There are other "general survey" sites which allow teens to participate, usually over 13, but you would need to check their policy to see if you can join them. I know there are quite a few. I'm eventually going to add an age range to all of the survey sites, but I've not had the time yet.

Good luck to you, let us know how you make out

As far as the teen specific sites, I'm not sure, I'm not a teen, but I would imagine that most of them listed have some kind of points which are redeemed for stuff (gift certificates, maybe credits for music, etc...) which, in the case of electronic rewards, like electronic gift certificates, should be really fast.

As far as the other sites, there are a few that pay really slowly but the majority of them are pretty good. If you look at my Starter Directory, most of these are pretty good. You may also want to go to any other of the survey directories and look at some of the user reviews. This is a new feature to the site so there are not tons and tons of user reviews, but there are some for some of the better sites. You can sort any of the diretories by choosing "User Review" at the top and hitting the resort button.

Be aware that some of the more active sites have a points based system in which you have to reach a minimum point value before you can cash out. For these sites it will take usually a couple of months before you reach that minimum. They're not ridiculous minimums or anything, it's just to keep them from having to send checks for $1.00, which is not worth the paper or the stamp.

You can also do a search on this site (from the home page) for any sites that you may be interested in. You may find some different write ups, user reviews and forum topics regarding that site...then again you might not.

Good Luck

Couple last questions: Why do sites need my home address? All they really need is my paypal address (if they pay me, not merchandise). I dont want them to send me a bunch of crap at my house, and my parents would be pist. Is it Safe and what do they send me?

You're not going to start getting bombarded with junk mail or anything. The only thing I've ever been sent from them are checks, gifts and occassionally they'll run a product test, but they always ask you if you want them to send it too you.

They need your home address to send you your checks and they need to know where you live for their research. Where you live is an important part of market research.

Any legitimate market research firm will NEVER redistribute your address, or any other personal info to anyone else. A good idea is to read through a site's privacy policy before you sign up. If you ever have any doubts about a particular site, you can always post to this forum and get some feedback.

Have fun.
