PAID SURVEYS
Would anyone actually pay good money to find out your opinion? Surprising as it may sound, the answer is yes! There are many reputable and good market research companies on the Internet,
which are employed by large corporations to find out what the general public feels about their company or their products. They want reports on how their advertisements are working and how their products actually rate with the consumers. These large companies pay the market research companies to pick our brains and by participating in the paid surveys we get a share of their earnings. Needless to add, there is not much likelihood of you being paid $250 or £200 an hour. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I have to pay to join the paid survey companies?
No. Most good and reputable market research companies do not ask for any payment to let you join their programmes. They are more interested in your qualifications and in your situation, for example if you have children living at home, to decide if you qualify for taking any particular paid survey. This is in fact a good first indicator of whether you should trust a company.
Quick Tip: Avoid companies asking for money before they send you any paid surveys. Chances are they will be the only ones making money while you will be left wringing your hands. |
However, some sites, which are not market research companies but databases or directories companies offering of paid surveys, do charge money to join. It is very important the check facilities like money back guarantees etc. which may provide clues towards the authenticity of these directories. I, on the other hand, provide you a free directory of paid survey companies in the hope that you will be tempted to help
me by referring my website to all your friends.
What type of work will a paid survey company provide? A market research company will provide any of these 1. Send paid surveys by email for you to complete. 2. Ask you to be a part of a focus group. 3. Send free samples for you to test and report on.
What will happen once I sign up? Once you sign up to take an online paid survey you will be sent surveys to your preferred email address. By participating in these surveys you can earn cash, win prizes, earn shopping vouchers or earn points, which can later be converted to cash or rewards.
Tips to remember: Create
a dedicated email address to receive online paid surveys. This
way you work will be streamlined and you won’t miss any
opportunities because an alert got mixed up with other mails. If you intend to take a paid survey do it as soon as you possibly can after receiving an alert. Sometimes surveys are closed after receiving a pre-decided number of replies.

What if it is not possible for me to answer a survey? Just ignore it!! Yes, you may take as many or as few paid surveys as you wish. You have no commitment to answer just because you have received an alert. Will I have a regular supply of work? It is highly unlikely that you will receive a paid survey to fill everyday from any one company. Most paid survey sites will only send surveys 2-4 times a month. The best, and perhaps, the only way to ensure you get regular work is to join as many companies as is possible. Having said this, I would not advise you to do so by paying an enrolment fee to any company to join its panel.
It is also worth noting that people in the USA get far more surveys
to fill than any other country. Don't be in a rush to fire
your boss until you have tried these ideas for a few months. Other good online work ideas:
