What Is Take Surveys For Cash?
This is a Clickbank product supposedly created by Jason White. This is a fake pen name and the owner is unknown.
He claims to have discovered a weird trick to make over $3,500 per month taking surveys online. It’s all about getting paid to share your opinions with major companies, by filling out their surveys.
This system has been around since January 2011.

Who Is This System For?
In my opinion, this product isn’t for anyone! Unless you want to spend hours and hours online, only to make very little money.
This particular system is also quite old and outdated, and if you truly wanted to make pennies this way, it’s better to simply Google “online surveys” to find many opportunities.
When I did that search, many Canadian companies came up because I live in Canada. So with Google’s help, I not only found many sites but also those I’d qualify for in Canada… Sweet!
This product makes hugely outrageous income claims that are simply impossible!
I honestly can’t recommend you pay $39 for this. You’re only making the owner his money for a very low-quality product.
How Does It Work?
When I first saw the sales page, I found it quite dated. And that’s because it’s an old product! And unfortunately, the product isn’t anything to write home about either.
And so much hype! My goodness…
Let’s take a look…
The Sales Page
This landing page is using technology that changes with each person’s IP address. What I mean is that when you see the name of your country in the heading, it’s because it can tell where you live.
This is a marketers way of personalizing the page for you. Does it make you feel special? Haha!
Hype #1 – Income Amount
This Jason White, who is a fake name, tells us that he’s earned over $274K from paid surveys since 2009. Ya sure…
Then he says it’s true and verified?? Really? Where?
Hype #2 – Secret Trick
He proceeds to tell you he’s discovered a secret trick to get massive amounts of paid survey opportunities. You know what? There’s no secret!
It’s simply a matter of registering with multiple, if not hundreds of companies, and spending every waking hour filling out surveys. For very little money I might add.
Hype #3 – Inbox
Now he shows you a picture of his inbox showing many high paying surveys, but this is fake as well. It’s just too easy to fake images like this.
And how does a fake person have an email account anyway?
Hype #4 – Available Surveys
He’ll show you how to pick and choose from hundreds of surveys “available now”. This is another image that uses technology that posts the day you’ve opened the sales page.
There’s only one big issue here… There’s nothing like this list inside the program!
Just another way to get you excited about what’s inside, with a fake list and unrealistic payment amounts.
Hype #5 – Income Statements
OK, really? We already know this is a fake name. How can a fake name have a bank account and PayPal account?
Again, just some really unrealistic and fake accounts to hype you up on this product.
The Member Area
As soon as you get into the member area, you’re given free access to a “bonus offer”. If you click on it, it takes you to another product.
Yup, another low-quality product called “Your Dream Websites”. And it’s not free. It will cost you $37 through ClickBetter.
Getting Started Guide
This guide is very basic and covers how to use this system.
Step #1: This simply asks you to log in with a password they send you, and to bookmark your page for easy access.
Step #2: This made me laugh… It says:
…he’s made a special deal with a millionaire to provide you with free access to his exclusive system he uses to make of $593 every single day!
Apparently, this millionaire charges $1995 for this, but they made a deal with him to cover the cost so that you can get access for free…LOL.
The Truth
This product isn’t an exclusive system, nor is there any secret to making money.
It’s just providing with you a “middle man” which lists many available survey companies altogether.
The system doesn’t do anything for you other than provide an outside link to those companies.
Did you know that a simple Google search for “paid survey” can find just as many, if not more companies that are listed in this program?
And you know that the ones that come up in your search will be available and current!
Step #3: This briefly explains how companies want your opinion to help them improve their products.
He admits it will take you a long time to register with all the companies in their survey database, but it’s important to start making money.
Once you’re registered with them, they’ll email you whenever a survey is available for your demographic.
The Truth
I’m almost certain that the owner is making commissions off of you when you sign up with these companies. That might explain why not all available companies are listed there.
Step #4: He recommends you set up a new email account just for taking your surveys.
It also recommends you purchase their first upsell, the Roboform Form Filler, to speed up filling out your registration forms.
The Truth
Please be aware that this is a one-click purchase. This means that as soon as you click on the link, your credit card is charged for the upsell.
Step #5: Here he tells you to reply to the emails you receive, and to take your time and give complete and honest answers.
Step #6: This step gives you links to:
- Make Money with Blogging
- Make Money with Amazon
- Make Money with Twitter
- Make Money with Domain Names
- Make Money with eBay
- Make Money with Google
The Truth
These links lead to tutorials that go over the methods listed above. This is generic information explaining the methods, but there’s nothing here to actually help you start these types of businesses.
There are many legitimate training sites online if you are interested in any of these online affiliate businesses.
Choose Your Country
This tool is quite handy! You choose the country you live in, and it will bring up a list of available survey companies for your demographic.
The list provided give you outside links to various survey companies. I didn’t test them all, so I’m not sure if this section is updated, or if there are some dead links.
It’s up to you to decide how reputable some of these websites are, as there are some older ones that don’t seem to have been updated in years.
$50 Bonus
This is misleading! It says that if you submit proof of completing your first survey, you will be paid $50.
The Truth
You will only be able to supply proof when you’ve been paid by the survey company. Did you know that you won’t get paid until you’ve reached the threshold they’ve set?
Many of these companies will deposit your earnings into your account on their website. They would have told you in advance that you won’t be paid out until your account reaches $50 or whatever number they choose.
That means that you’ll be completing many surveys before meeting that threshold. Most surveys can pay very little, and by the time you’ve qualified and completed enough, it could take months to reach the threshold.
There have also been reports of this $50 bonus not being a cash bonus, but a discount or gift card.
Alternatives
I really don’t recommend taking surveys to make money online. It’s long arduous work for very little pay. But if you truly want to try it out for yourself, there are better ways to go about it.
Here are just a few reputable companies out there:
Pros
- 60-day money-back guarantee
- Low cost
Cons
- Very low pay
- Time-consuming
- May not qualify for many surveys
- Might require credit card information to apply
- No opportunity to produce a money-making asset or passive income
Final Thoughts And Recommendations
This is probably the hardest way to earn money online, and you’re sure not going to make $3500 per month. There just aren’t enough hours in a day to make that much, lol.
I’ve tried filling out surveys in the past, and believe me, it’s not fun! And you only make pennies per hour.
Is Take Survey For Cash a scam? No
Would I recommend it? NO
I found the perfect video on YouTube for you to watch. It’s about 14 minutes long, but it’s all the proof you need that taking surveys online for cash is a ridiculous way to make money.
See what I mean? Ridiculous!!
Maybe back in 2011, when this product was created, you could qualify easier and make more money. But these days, many of these companies pay out in credits or gift cards.
And as you saw in the video, they may pay you a $5 bonus for completing the registration, but did you see what he had to do to get that $5? Wow, not sure if it’s worth it, haha.
Did you notice that his account showed a $30 threshold? He’ll have to work for many, many more hours to make that amount, especially when the surveys were only about $0.10 each.
There are so many better ways to make money online. Did you know that affiliate marketing was the easiest? That’s what I do, and I’ve created for myself a successful business that makes a passive income for myself.
Can I make you my honest recommendation?

Your friend,
Suzanne
Thanks for creating and doing the research on this product Suzanne.
It surprises me that they expect people to pay $39 for a product that is so old to make very little money. If anything you would be losing money.
I used to try to make money from surveys but found it too slow and a very small amount of money to be made.
Affiliate marketing is definitely the way to go.
Thanks for sharing.
Hi Kat,
I know eh? And so you know how long it would take to make your $39 back? lol.
I’ve tried this in the past as well, and it hardly makes any money for many hours work.
In today’s world, many only give you points to use in their own catalogues. So it’s not even cash that you get, but a small product. Others will give you a prepaid charge card but it takes a while to accumulate enough to transfer over.
And you’re right! If you want to earn an income, affiliate marketing is the best way to go.
Cheers,
Suzanne
Hi Suzanne, thanks for the informative review of take surveys for cash.
It looks like this is one everyone should avoid, unless they want to spend all their time online and making little money.
I am surprised this product is still on clickbank because as you say it is under a false name. Who knows who is behind it and why should you trust him?
Thanks for the warning to steer clear of this one,
Frank
Hi Franks and thanks for the comment.
I do agree with you. This type of product pretends to be something it isn’t. If you want to earn pocket change, you don’t need to spend money to do it.
Just search online for free and you’ll find a lot of opportunities.
Cheers,
Suzanne
Hey, Suzanne, great review. Thanks for putting up the truth here for us.
I can’t imagine how many people, desperately wanting to make money online got this “product”. Well, now they sure know how to NOT make money online.
$ 39.00… That’s just laughable… I hope more and more people will get to read this article, before going for buying it.
Thanks,
Teo
Hi Teo, and thanks for commenting.
You’re so right! You won’t be making much if any at all with this program.
And I’m laughing along with you about the $39, lol. Certainly not worth that.
I tried these type of jobs for a while, and it’s definitely not worth the time you put in.
Cheers,
Suzane
