Can I make money doing online surveys? I costs money to grasp started, is this a scame?

I was on a web site reading about doing surveys and group studies online to make money from home. I be really excited about getting started but when i went to sign up there be a 57 dollar fee. has anyone done this? Can I make good money? Is it basically a scam?
NEVER pay money for this type of piece
there is no reason why they would need to charge you to find started. If they needed the money, then you just wouldn't get compensated for the first survey or they would deduct it from your pay. Anything that sounds like a scam is probably a scam.
I heard a lady on here was have trouble getting paid. She was making a dollar an hour and they wouldn't pay her.

I have an idea that its a scam, dont fork it over.
Answers:    Yes, it's a scam. The company will take your $57 and you will *never* manage to make that much money doing surveys. You'll be lucky to make $10, and that's after hours of clicking away on line, and probably giving away your personal information to other scammers as all right.

Don't do it. If you want extra money, go out and get a *real* part-time employment.
if they want money from you up front afterwards it is more than likely a scam.
There are oodles forum that are free but all surveys I've seen offering gifts or fees require you to "participate = buy something)
dont
sounds like a scam to me ..
