For those who would like to try online paid surveys as a way to earn some extra cash, you need to be conscious that you will be spending anywhere between 10 to 45 minutes answering questions and filling out forms. Some sites offer the possibility to resume, others don't. It can be very tedious at times if you don't feel like sitting in front of a computer for that long but it is easy money made!
Here are step-by-step instructions on what to do to make more than extra cash online with paid surveys.
1. Set up an email address account. Ideally pick a Google account (Gmail)
because Hotmail has a spam filters so strict that you may miss some
opportunities. You'll find out that you'll receive invitations to
participate in a survey by email. So it is important that they don't
fall into your spam folder.
2-A) Join as many survey companies as possible. Yeah, I know; about
a dozen of those companies are easy to find although there are hundreds
of them! You can do a research on the internet, ask around in forums,
come across them by chance, etc. It can be very time consuming and it's
better for you to use that time completing surveys and make some extra
cash rather than searching on the internet for paid surveys companies.
OR
2-B)
Buy/Join one of those paid membership sites. I highly recommend this
method and only if it's a one-time fee and if the site offers a 100%
money-back guarantee. For a small of amount of $20-$50, you have access
to ALL the marketing research companies looking for participants like
you. Your chances of getting a paid surveys are higher with 100
companies than just 10 companies. So this can become very lucrative at
some point.
3) Once you've signed up, you'll be asked to complete a profile so
that the company can put you in categories. Some personal information
will be needed. Keep in mind that your profile is used to evaluate you
as a consumer for a certain product or category of products. You will
receive surveys on products and services that you are acquainted with.
In other words, this also means that you qualify for the survey. If you
are not a target customer, then there's no need to get your opinion on
that specific product or service. Remember, the more accurate and
honest the information you provide are, the easier and more fun you'll
have at completing surveys.
4) Check your inbox every day. Since
you've signed up for many survey companies, you'll be likely to receive
at least 5-20 invitations to complete surveys on a daily basis. Again,
the number will vary according to your profile. Also check your spam
folder and whitelist the email addresses that are coming from paid
survey companies to ensure that you will receive future correspondence
from them.
If you follow step 2-B, you'll be making more than extra cash with
paid surveys. Unlike what others may say about online paid surveys, it
can generate a significant income on a regular basis. This website contains a list of
market research companies offering paid surveys for users from all
around the world.
The key is to be patient and consistent. The money will come!
