What do you think?

I have a question for everyone. I have plans to start my own business. As some know it can be hard to raise your starting capital. So what do you think about doing paid surveys to assist with your ability to raise money for starting a business? I know it can take a lot of time but when you think about it, its star-up money you have did not have in the first place.

Doing surveys is fine but you don't make that much they are 50 cents to 3.00 and the 3.00 ones are either hard to get into or rare.I usually do 3 a day on a good day.I sometimes don't try that much and get discouraged when i can't get into any but good luck.

You are not going to make enough money doing surveys to start a business.  Most people only make enough on here to cash out every other month.  Some can cash out every month but we are talking less than $30.  It's going to take a long time to make enough to start a business.  It also depends on the type of business and if it is a real business where you have a business license.  Or if you are talking something like running errands for friends and getting paid for it.  Personally, I don't call that having your own business.

A lot of people do sites like this and call that working from home.  I call it basically playing on the internet.  The people who do that also have other income either a government check, they are retired, or have a spouse that works.  Because you cannot make enough on sites like this to survive solely on that as an income.  Just won't happen.

I don't think that surveys are that profitable especially if you need the money right away.  I have said before I usually never qualify for the survey so I feel like i am wasting my time in that way.  There are some reputable companies online that you can do from home so look into that.  I would start by checking them with the better business bureau however because you don't want to get ripped off.  Good Luck
