Tempe, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/15/2012 -- Summer is just about here, and across the country people are busy making their vacation plans. But as anyone who has recently traveled knows quite well, heading out for even a few days can be extremely expensive. As a result, many people are trying to find ways they can bring in some extra money.

One popular way to earn cash is by completing surveys for money. Literally hundreds of websites offer paid surveys that people can fill out right from the comfort of home. Many claim to offer big money for very little time and effort.

If this sounds too good to be true, unfortunately it often is. Some of the websites that promise paid surveys turn out to be scams, and some even ask for credit card numbers from the people who sign up to do them.

A website has been creating quite a buzz lately for its helpful and in-depth reviews of many of the top paying surveys that are currently available.

Best Surveys for Money also features educational articles on the history of paid surveys, and a variety of posts that explain in detail how people can go about earning extra cash from legitimate survey sites. Just as importantly, the site also teaches people how to avoid falling victim to dishonest survey companies.

“A good rule of thumb is, if any website asks you for money or your credit card number up front, then 9/10 it simply is a scam,” an article on the Best Surveys for Money website noted, adding that all of the paid surveys listed on the site are reputable and the website’s founder has been paid several times by each one.

“Trust me, I wouldn't do reviews of them here if I wasn't earning money myself. Each website provides a real opportunity of working from home whether you're a stay at home mom, part time worker, kids or teenagers of at least 13 years of age, or just a regular person looking to make some extra spending money.”

According to the website, MySurvey is the number one paid survey site, with GlobalTestMarket and Ipsos i-Say taking second and third place. These three large sites have all been around for some time and typically pay their members with cash or gift cards.
