I've not made a lot of money. But I like getting a few extra bucks in my spare time, from time to time. The checks get to me quickly, less than a week from requesting them. They do offer referrals now. I can make money from that. I don't push the referrals, because I'm doing the surveys to get my opinion heard, not make a lot of money. I like the surveys I've done. I have done for some companies that I buy from on a regular basis. It's nice to have your opinion heard, aside from just being a consumer. Thank you for not smacking mindfield down, btw...lol. Have a Happy Halloween! Nicole Hi Eddy,

A company doesn't lack legitimacy because they don't send a lot of surveys frequently. Surveys are based on needs of a given client. So for instance let's pretend I'm Coca Cola and I hire Mindfield to find me Black males, 18-25, that live in urban areas because I want their feedback on a new drink we're creating. Mindfield will check their database and send out a survey invitation to only people that fit that profile. (Which is also why its important to provide as much details in your profile.) Obviously if you don't fit that profile you're not going to get a survey invitation. It doesn't mean that Mindfield or any of these other survey companies are shady. Market research is a business that is based on demand. So if companies aren't demanding your profile than Mindfield can't pay you for surveys they don't have. So hopefully that gives you a better understanding of how surveys and focus groups work. This is also why you should sign up for many legitimate survey companies because if one may not be getting new clients another one may. So the more databases you're on, the better your chances of getting more surveys. But keep in mind you should only be joining legitimate companies. Fortunately we've listed a few in our articles page: www.workathomenoscams.com/articles No one can guarantee you a certain number of surveys per day, etc. If they do, they're lying to you. Good luck. You’re welcome Daniel.

I just signed up today, filled out all of the member questionarres as the site recommended me to do so. Just wondering, does mindfield actually send a legitamate amount of surveys? I understand some patience is required but i was just wondering how often (and how many) surveys are sent to your email. Thanks. Thanks for the article!

It was a fun survey but it did take a whole week to do. I found it worth it :-) MyView is good too. I got a $10 from Mindfield yesterday, deposited today.
