Regardless of your age, sex, race or religion marketing companies will pay you for voicing your opinion and telling them about your experience. So if you have time on your hands, want to earn extra income from home and have an opinion this short article will give you an overview of the paid survey industry.
What Are Paid Surveys?
A paid online survey is basically a questionnaire which you complete by giving some personal details and your opinions or preferences about a particular product or service.
Why are surveys conducted?
Surveys are carried out by marketing companies as a form of market research. The information they gather can help them assess many aspects of their business. For example if the have released a new product they will want to find out if you know about it, do you think it is good value, how often do you use it etc. May be they have run an advertising campaign and want to know how effective it was.
Does it cost Money to register for surveys?
No you should never pay money to register with a survey company but there are companies who charge a one off fee to access a directory or list of reputable survey sites. These directories take the hard work out of finding genuine survey companies who pay for your information and pay on time. Naturally you do not have to join a directory because all the survey companies are on the web and all you have to do is find them.
The advantage of joining a directory is that for a small one off fee $20 – $40 they supply you with hundreds of survey genuine survey companies who will send you surveys and pay you for doing the work.
What are the criteria for registering?
Each survey company will target a different market therefore the criteria for registering will differ. By joining a directory you will have access to enough survey companies that you will be able to ensure a good income regardless of which demographic group you fall in.
What do the surveys want to know?
Registration will cover what they need to know about you personally, where you live, age, male/female, job, career, number in family, married, single, do you have pets etc. This information enables them to know which surveys to send you. The actual survey questions will be about the product or service they are researching and you opinions about that.
How long does it take to complete a survey?
Some take 10 – 20 minutes others may require you to test a product so may take days. What’s important here is that you will be remunerated according to the work required to complete the survey.
How much do you get paid?
The value of each completed survey will be indicated on the invitation e mail or in the survey site. Some companies pay cash while others award points which can be redeemed for cash or products. Make sure you know what the deal is before you spend your valuable time completing the survey.
When will you get paid?
Each company will have it’s own payment structure, yet again this will be explained on the site or made clear to you when you register. Some send checks while others credit your PayPal directly, either way most have a minimum amount you need to reach before payment is made. Given bank charges, it doesn’t make sense to pay out small amounts so you may have to accumulate your payments for a while before receiving your check. If you get into a routine of completing surveys you will soon be receiving regular payments.
Where to you find paid survey sites?
The hard way is to type paid survey sites into a search engine and start trawling through the net. If you can afford $20 – $40 any of the survey directories will do the hard work for you and provide you with a list of reputable survey companies who pay what they say they will.
What is a SURVEY DIRECTORY?
A survey directory is literally a listing of reputable survey companies, ones that have been tried and tested. The directory lists the companies which pay the best and more importantly pay on time.
Why should you trust a Survey Directory?
If a directory didn’t deliver a good service it wouldn’t stay in business for very long; it’s a competitive business and the competition would soon let everyone know if another directory wasn’t providing a good service.
So there you have it in a nut shell.
You can search the net for free to register survey companies or you can pay a one off fee to join a directory. The directory will save you time and frustration and may ultimately decide whether you will be successful. Why, because you will probably get fed up trying to find decent survey companies and give up. The rest of this site lists and reviews the most popular survey directories.
