You can work at home taking surveys for free.  First off, you NEVER have to pay a website to get a list of paid online survey sites.  My only request for your using my list is to bookmark this page and come back often.  I have tried to only list TRUE survey companies.  I have done my best to make sure the survey sites that are trying to sell stuff are not included.  If you find a research company that I missed please let me know.
Please don't believe all the hype.  You will NOT make thousands of dollars a month getting paid for surveys.  Survey companies offer paying surveys all the time but they are also looking for certain criteria.  You will not always meet this criteria so you won't qualify for each and every paid survey offer you recieve.  One day you might qualify and make $50, another day you might qualify and make $10.  You might not qualify for another week for anything.  So... You CAN make $50 an hr but you won't make $50 an hr, eight hours a day, 5 days a week.  If you realize this and still want to take surveys you WILL have a lot of fun, make a little extra money for holidays, dinners out etc., and get a lot of cool products to try out at home. 
I have a very extensive free list of survey sites that pay and will try to add a few more paid survey sites as I find them. 
Take a few moments and look over our new message board.  This is where we all get together to keep up to date on the latest paying surveys, mystery shopping jobs and great free stuff.
