No doubt, get paid for surveys is one of the hottest ways to make money online.
The problem is can you really rely on it as your main income? Personally, I prefer other kind of make money online opportunity.
Let me show you my reasons.

1. It is not a business.
   If you want to generate a high income from the Internet, then you must learn how to build an online business.
   Most of the internet millionaires are online business owners.
   Getting paid for surveys are just like a job and the income is limited.
   
2. No residual income.
   You fill out a survey form online and then you get paid.
   The process ends here.
   You won't get paid again and again after filling out 1 form.
   You have to wait for the next request.
   
3. It is too risky.
   You get paid for surveys and you are counting on it to pay your bills.
   What if you don't receive any survey request in one particular month? Your financial headache happens again.
   Life is unpredictable and this might happen..
   ..
   
4. Taking Surveys is quite a boring thing.
   Surveys can be horribly boring.
   If you have any ambition in life, you definitely will suffer from this.
   Because I'm not the only one who has this feeling before!
5. It's difficult to get high pay.
   From my experiences, most of the surveys are within the range $1-$5.
   How many surveys you must fill up to make $1000?

Get Paid for surveys can be a great income source for some people but not for me.
I rather put my effort to start an online business that can generate money for me again and again after doing all the hard works.
