There has been a lot of discussion over the years about paid surveys and if they can be a legitimate source of income.
A lot of people who talk ill of paid surveys, simply don’t understand them and haven’t put in the effort to reap the rewards. Here’s how paid surveys work:
Business, big or small, need data to help them design new products or services or to revise current ones to better suit their customer base.
To get this data, they hire marketing research firms to first, put together a set of questions that will help them collect the right data, second, administer the questions via online surveys, and third, analyze the data and deliver the results so that the business can make educated decisions regarding their products and services and hopefully help them add additional revenue to their bottom line.
Putting together and administering paid surveys isn’t cheap. These marketing research firms charge top dollar for their services and then in return for completing surveys, they pass some of what they charge their clients on to the end user (that’s you).
So let’s talk about how you can begin making money with paid surveys.
- To get started, you first need to identify a paid survey directory.
Something you need to keep in mind is that these lists are free to the public. There are many companies out there that charge you to gain access to them. Please do not pay them. They are simply out to make a quick buck and take advantage of you.
- After you find a free directory of paid surveys, you should identify five to ten companies to sign up with.
By signing up with multiple marketing research firms, you will take more surveys and make more money hands down.
- After you sign up with the survey companies, you will want to spend some time filling out your profile on each site.
If they know you are a new mom who breastfeeds and purchases diapers regularly, they will send you surveys about breastfeeding or what kind of diapers you buy and how you like them. If you do not fill out this information, you will limit the amount of surveys you receive.
- Once you register and fill out your profiles, you will start to receive surveys to your email.
Please note that if you don’t take the surveys in a timely manner and they collect enough data, they will shut off the survey and you will not be able to take it. Also know that if you don’t take the surveys, they will slowly stop sending them to you as they are looking for people to take them on a regular basis.
- As you start completing surveys and generating a cash balance in your account, the last thing you will want to make sure and do is select a payment method.
In closing, if this sounds like something you might be interested in, you need to follow all of the steps we went through above.
