Paid online surveys are big business on the Internet. The high speed and low cost of the Internet continue to attract more and more of the total multi-million dollar surveys business pie. Survey participants get paid for online surveys as an inducement for them to volunteer and fill out the survey questionnaires.
When you get paid for online surveys you make from $5 to $75 or more per survey, with most surveys in the $10 to $25 range. It only takes 7 to 10 minutes or so for a $10 survey and maybe 20 to 30 minutes for a $25 survey. Not much in and of itself, but do a couple of surveys a day and it adds up quickly.
The beauty of making money with surveys is that you can work whenever it is convenient for you, and from wherever you have an Internet connection. You are your own boss and there is no ongoing contract or obligation. You choose which surveys you want to take and can by-pass the rest. You can stop anytime, with no obligation.
It is easy to participate. Any consumer 18 or older with enough computer skills to send and receive e-mails, qualifies as a potential survey participant. All you need to do to start is to get your applications into a number of good survey makers. They will need your contact and demographic info.
The problem is that there are good surveys, not-so-good surveys, and bad, time-wasting surveys. To really get paid for online surveys and make any money at it, you will need a good list of survey makers that offer legitimate paid online surveys, the ones that pay well, on time, in cash or equivalent, and respect your privacy.
The best source of good lists is from paid survey membership sites that maintain lists for their members. For a small one-time fee, you can join such a site and they will share a copy of their list with you.
Avoid the temptation to use a "free list". These are paid for by the recruitment fees that the vendors get from second-rate survey makers to recruit new members for them. These low-pay/no-pay survey makers must replace the vacancies on their survey participants list, a vacancy you do not want to fill!
The good paid survey membership sites are more concerned that their members make money, and for this, they will weed out the bad survey makers and give you the best list that they can. This type of list is what you need to get paid for online surveys and make money.
Pick a paid survey site with a strong money-back guarantee, backed up by a financial company like PayPal, ClickBank or a bank, and a low refund rate under that guarantee.
The guarantee tells you that the site stands behind the value of its service. Do not deal with any site without such a guarantee. The refund rate tells you what the present recent clients think of the site. If they used its list to get paid for online surveys and made money, they will be happy. The refund rate will below.
If they used the site's list to get paid for online surveys and did NOT get paid or make money, they will be dissatisfied and will demand their money back. The refund rate will be high. You want to avoid sites with high refund rates.
In summary, to get paid for online surveys and make money, pick a paid survey membership site with a strong guarantee and a low (3-6%) refund rate. Avoid any without strong guarantees or with refund rates that are either unknown (means high) or are as high as 9-10%. Join them, make money and join their happy clients.
