Paid surveys no fee attached. That’s the way it should be but it’s not always the case.

As with many things in life things aren’t always black and white there are a lot of shades of grey in between. I will go on to explain this a bit later so please bear with me.

I think a little clarification is in order here first. When we talk about paid surveys what we mean is that ‘You’ get paid for doing a survey! Let’s face it if you’re reading this it’s because you want an income of sorts.

Unfortunately there are a lot of companies out there claiming to be survey companies that will ask you for an upfront fee – sometimes referred to as a ‘deposit’ for them to send you their surveys to fill out. They claim that the reason they ask for the deposit is to sort out those people who really want to do their surveys and to cover ‘administrative’ expenses. The amount of people ‘suckered’ into this is unbelievable!

The bottom line is that you should never – never have to pay a fee to do a survey.

Having said that I’m sure the next question is where am I going to find surveys that pay. The good news is that there are two sources. One that requires a bit of time and effort and the other one that requires less effort but for similar results.

Method 1
Search Google and the search engines in general for surveys that pay. This where you will have to exercise caution as this is where the ‘scammers’ hang out. Let’s face it these guys are also in business so they also know the ‘search terms’ that you are likely to use.

Unfortunately, for the ‘uninitiated’ this can be very time consuming and for some people an expensive mistake.

Don’t despair though, depending, on your location (some online survey companies have criteria before you can sign up) there are companies out there that won’t charge a fee and will pay usually anywhere from $5 upwards.

Don’t get sucked into the hype about huge amounts of money – a fair estimate once you get up and running is about $125-$200 per month for each hour worked per day! Hey it mightn’t be mega dollars but it’s easy money and it all adds up!

Method 2
This where it gets a bit more complicated to get your head around after what I have just said about not paying a fee. This option lies in the grey area i.e. not black and white and is the route preferred by a lot of people who don’t have time and/or sometimes the confidence to start right away.

As far as paid surveys no fee are concerned this does involve a small fee, usually no more than $35 but what it does provide is a membership and a ‘list’ of paying sites that you can sign up to straight away. Many people like to learn a bit about the business first by having their hand held and then look for other paid survey sites where there is no fee.

There are some funs and interesting skateboarding facts that you may not ever know before. The first skateboard was introduced in 1950 and it was an instant hit. However, it featured a handle bar just like scooters do today. It took several years before they were made without this part of it to have the basic style that we are familiar with today.

Since the climate is nice year round in California, it is also a sport people can take part in any time of the year. California is also one area that encourages skateboarding rather than making it difficult to enjoy in certain areas.

Nearly 500 skateboarding parks found in the United States. Many of them have just been built within the past 10 years. One reason for the increase is due to the information about how children need to be motivated to exercise more. Since skateboarding is a great form of exercise, these skate parks offer a place to do it. Another reason for them is that many communities want to offer their youth a place to have fun without the use of drugs or alcohol.

Skate parks also don’t produce very much noise pollution which is often a concern when new structures are added to a community. However, they are very expensive to build. On average, it will cost $40 per square foot to build one. Many communities justify it though by saying it keeps youth from engaging in negative behaviors. The cost of the law enforcement, courts, and repairs from those types of behaviors are going to be much more than paying for a skating park.
