Fancy a quick buck that will not eat up your time? Or, have you got the time to burn that you might as well get paid for it? Then maybe it is time to try your hand on some paid online surveys! It is quick, it is easy and most of all you earn yourself some cash on the side. It is hard to pass up such a swell deal.

There are a lot of paid online surveys available out there and these are conducted by market research companies who are willing to pay to get valuable information from none other than you. In todays consumer-centric market place, your opinion counts a lot. And because you are the star of the show, these marketers want to know what you think of a certain product, a service or even what you think of their latest advertising campaign.

Think about it, by helping these marketers create new and improved products, you can actually earn from it at the same time.

Opinion Matters

Companies ask the help of market research companies to assess the opinions of people using different techniques and one of them is through surveys. And in todays paperless environment, online surveys make it a lot easier for market research companies to get the information they need.

The type of information that they need varies and it could be anything from your reaction about a product, an opinion about an issue, feedback of an ad or a customer experience about a service. Once you have signed up on their site, these companies email you when you fit the demographic they are looking to get information from and send you the survey.

Raking it in

The way you get paid depends on the company who created the survey. Some companies pay you by the number of surveys you answer and usually, the longer the survey is, the higher you get paid to answer it. Most companies prefer to pay you through PayPal but other options like cash and check is also available.

Free products or gift cards are also some of the way that companies pay you for your service. Some even pay you through points that can be exchanged for cash, some merchandise and even gift certificates. There are others who also offer a chance to win in a monthly raffle.

Beware of Scammers

There are a lot of scam survey sites out there so it is important to do your research and be extremely cautious before giving out your information online.

One thing is for sure, never pay to join a paid online survey site and never pay to get a list of legit paid online survey site. If there is any indication of this at all, you have just entered a scam site. Also, beware of paid survey sites that are posing like one but don not offer you anything but wasted time.

Real paid online survey sites offer you lots of opportunities to earn money aside from answering surveys like trial offers. Plus, they have member forums where you can relate with other members and post comments.

Start Clicking

Just like earning your keep, you have to work for it. Paid online surveys are more than just fast cash for your pocket. Information mined from these surveys is worth gold to these marketers. So when you answer these surveys, make that opinion count.

While these online surveys may not earn you millions but the costs do add up to your favor and before you know it, you have earned yourself some extra stash of cash.

Survey is a market research tool. It gathers opinion from consumers on the given aspects of a product under survey and defines the verdict. The trade needs this tool for picking up vital leads to plan new venture, business expansion, product betterment, amalgamation, merger, diversification etc.

Don’t get caught by paid online survey scams. Read this important watchdog article before joining a paid survey website. 7 million companies now actively seek out the opinions of moms, students, retirees and others. In the last year thousands of people have discovered that they can earn money simply by filling out paid online surveys or participating in paid focus groups while sitting at their computer.

A stay at home mom may fill out a couple of surveys while the kids are napping or later in the evening when the kids go to bed, or a student may complete a survey in-between classes or use surveys as a part-time job in the summer. If you have a computer with Internet access then you are eligible to participate.

Why will companies pay for your opinion?

Why? Because getting your opinions allows companies to get in touch with consumers and their views and habits BEFORE launching new products and services. With research and development costs at all-time highs and profit margins at all-time lows, a company simply cannot risk bringing a product to market that nobody wants. Think "New Coke" or today’s automotive industry.

It’s worth it to these large corporations to pay someone $75 to fill out a 1 to 2 page online survey, or to pay someone $150 an hour to participate in an online focus group, or to pay someone $25 per hour to preview the trailer for a new movie.

How they work.

Companies you register with will send paid survey opportunities to your email inbox. You have the option to accept or decline these individual surveys. For each survey you complete, you will be paid a preset amount. Most of these paid surveys take approximately 5 to 15 minutes to complete and normally pay $10 - $75 per survey. Online focus groups pay substantially more .. up to $250 per hour.

In the course of our investigation we received approximately 25-30 survey opportunities per day. It quickly became clear that if someone is willing to devote several hours per day to these surveys that it’s entirely possible to earn several hundred dollars per day.

Let’s say you complete 20 online surveys per day .. all at the low-end pay of $10-$15 per survey. At 5 to 15 minutes per survey you would be earning $200 - $300 per day for 1.5 to several hours of at-home work. At just $35 per survey the earnings go to $700 per day. And at $75 per survey the earnings skyrocket to $1500 per day.

Fraudulent websites & potential pitfalls.

Unfortunately, as with any innovative idea come the scammers. Hundreds of "paid surveys" websites have popped up, claiming to offer direct access to networks where people can find these online surveys. Most charge $85-$125 dollars to register and make outrageous claims of $200 per survey. But once a customer pays the membership fee they find:

1. Outdated resources and directories
2. Non-Working links and pages
3. Non-Intuitive navigation
4. Zero help or customer service
5. No refunds if you are unsatisfied.

Most of these SCAM sites won’t even respond to refund requests. Eventually they get shut down due to too many customer complaints, or the State Attorney General forces them out of business. But the customer has already lost their money, and the SCAMMERS just open another paid survey site under a different name in a different state. It’s definitely "buyer beware".

Yes, you can get paid for your opinion.

If you can stay away from the SCAM websites, it is possible to earn money … even hundreds of dollars per day … by filling out online paid surveys and participating in paid focus groups.

Before joining a paid survey network, you should be sure that it satisfies the following minimum requirements:

In business for at least 1 year.
Well organized, easy to navigate directories.
Directories updated at least weekly.
Helpful resources available for newcomers.
No "waiting period". Eligible immediately..
Customer service available via phone or email, with response time less than 24hrs.
100% guaranteed.

Paid Surveys and Paid Focus Groups at your fingertips.

Fortunately you no longer need to register with each of the 7 million companies to participate in their paid online surveys. 2004 saw entire networks spring up solely to administer these paid surveys. All you need do is register your name with one of these organizations to participate in the surveys in their network.

Many experienced people find it advantageous to register their name with more than one administering organization. This allows the person to enjoy a wider selection of surveys and focus groups .. as well as collect the multiple bonuses that are regularly offered.

Can you really earn money taking surveys? The answer is YES! We’ve all seen them, advertisements, banner ads, even spam emails promising us extra cash just for taking the time to fill out a survey. But how much can you really make? What exactly do these companies want in return? Read on below to find out.

First, the survey companies actually do get a lot in return for their money. Whether they are researching and developing new products or experimenting with new advertising methods for existing products, the information these companies gleam from your consumer responses is invaluable to them. They can use your responses to find the right market for their product, gauge interest in certain products and even test advertising before they spend a huge amount of money on a national advertising campaign. Not only do the companies get a goldmine of information from consumer responses, but they can even use the aggregate information to form very specific ideas of what a certain market segment wants or needs. Consumer testing and surveys are one of the most important methods of research and testing that the big brand names use to research, develop and market their products, it’s a win-win for them, for the consumer and for the people taking the surveys.

There are different types of paid surveys and they each have their own pros and cons, I’ll list the two major types below:

Surveys For Cash - This type of survey is the most prized, because you give them your time and they pay you in real money. These survey companies will usually send you a check, but some of them send actual cash in the mail. Ranging from $2, $5 all the way up to $10 and $20. Higher payouts happen, but they are more rare and usually require much more time and information from you, such as keeping a daily journal of your shopping habits, Internet surfing habits or your banking habits or testing out actual products.

Surveys For Rewards - Some survey companies will offer you points for each survey you take, say 50 points or 500 points. Then these points can be redeemed for products, gift certificates, gift cards, airline miles and other items. Sometimes, the points can even be redeeemed for cash. There are more of these types of survey programs available since you must commit some time to faithfully taking the surveys they send in order to gain enough points to be redeemed for something worthwhile. However, these companies tend to send more surveys than the companies that pay cash, so you may have more opportunities to redeem your accumulated points for cash or a tangible prize in the end.

Avoiding The Scams

Most survey companies are legitimate, but some you may want to watch out for. Listed below are some ways to make sure you are taking surveys for legitimate companies:

Reputation - Before signing up for a survey program, check it’s reputation by doing a bit of research to make sure the company actually pays it’s members or sends out their prizes. You can check with the Better Business Bureau online, check Google and the many message boards and forums dedicated to taking surveys and making money online in general. It should take you just a few minutes to find out if a company is for real or is just collecting information to spam you.

Privacy Policy - Make sure the site has a clearly stated privacy policy and be sure to read it carefully. Make sure they aren’t going to keep and sell your personal information to third parties and that the information you do give is used for reasonable purposes.

Survey Directories - You can find some excellent listings of paid survey companies on the web. These directories will often have a description and review of each company. You’ll often be able to see what types of payment or prizes they offer. Be sure to check these out. An excellent paid online survey directory is PaidSurvey24.com.

Helpful Tools

There are some helpful tools available for those that would like to take surveys but don’t type very fast or well. One of the best is the Google Toolbar. It’s completely free and installs right to your browser. Once it’s installed, you should click the OPTIONS tab on the bar and check the box next to AUTOFILL. Then click the AUTOFILL SETTINGS button and fill in all the information there. This enables the auto fill form tool so that you can fill out forms asking for your name, address, email address etc. just once and then you can simply click the AUTOFILL button on your browser to fill in each of these fields. Extremely handy and a HUGE timesaver! With the Google toolbar, you can also search Google without having to go to Google main page, so you can research paid survey companies even more easily. You can get it from Google site, just go to their main page and click on MORE, then EVEN MORE and then click on TOOLBAR.

In summary, while you may not be able to make a living taking surveys, you certainly can make some extra money and earn some nice prizes. So the question is not, why would you want to take paid surveys, its why wouldn’t you want to take paid surveys?! It’s easy, often fun and has many benefits! Good luck!

You might think that once paid surveys ask you about whether you like a product, or not, you should answer in the positive. No, that is not the case! Paid surveys are designed with the sole purpose to provide reliable consumer feedback to the manufacturing companies and the service providers. If you think that a certain product is crappy, you should indicate that, giving your supporting comments if the survey design allows for that. If you are happy with a purchase you made, then you should say so, giving adequate rating to the company and product of your choice. Surveys ask you about your true experiences, because you as a consumer are the key to company success. If you like a brand, you should credit it with your positive opinion; likewise, if you’ve had terrible shopping experience or didn’t get the services you paid for, then your survey responses should reflect that.

But Don’t I Get Cash Anyway with Paid Surveys?

Getting cash with paid surveys does not mean that you will be rewarded for submitting blank surveys, incomplete surveys, or surveys with unfounded and misrepresenting responses. If you complete a satisfaction survey, its questions will be designed to ask for your detailed opinion - you might need to order a list of product qualities; to show your product satisfaction on a scale; to supply written comments in a text box, etc. If you complete a screener survey, it is most likely that you’ll end up in a lottery drawing or get some sort of prize. Screener surveys are get-to-know-you surveys that companies send to newly registered survey takers. They are broadly scoped and are usually used for the purposes of the survey companies itself, rather than for third-party companies.

Some survey companies have reliability scores for their survey respondents. On the basis of this score, companies select the survey takers to be contacted when a survey that is really important and pays top dollars comes up. When a company relies on a particular survey for carrying on its strategic plans, it needs only the most reliable, most qualifying, and most objective survey respondents. If you are consistent in your survey responses, and build a reputation for a quick, reliable and objective survey taker, you may end up in the top list of your survey company when it sends the $100-surveys. On the other hand, subscribers who do not respond to survey invitations on a regular basis are dropped off the contact list.

How Quick should I respond to complete Paid Surveys?

Once you get proficient in taking paid surveys, you learn how to minimize the time you spend completing surveys. Seasoned surveys takers have training in providing answers quickly and accurately, thus ensuring they have completed and returned the survey before it closes.

Why is it important to submit the survey before it closes? The survey method is based on collecting a representative sample of responses, which suffice to formulate significant and meaningful conclusions about the goals of the survey. As it is never possible to interview 100% of consumers, survey designers set a number of respondents who need to answer the surveys in order to make its results relevant to the whole consumer segment. Most surveys, especially the highest-pay ones, have a preset limit of survey responses. Once this limit is reached, the survey questions might still be online, but the survey is no longer available to complete, and you will get no credit for it. Therefore, survey pros know that they should opt to complete the surveys that are worth the most as quickly as possible. As many other survey takers get the same invitation that you do, it’s no wonder that the most attractive surveys get completed within the first hour of their upload. To eliminate the possibility of disappointment, it pays to make sure you complete the surveys that pay good cash with highest priority.
