Paid
Surveys (I
HAVE NOT VERIFIED THE COMPANIES OFFERING PAID SURVEYS IN THE
GOOGLE ADS ABOVE, UNLESS THEY ARE MENTIONED BELOW) If
there is one area of the GPT (Get Paid To) market place
which
has most negative coverage, it is that relative to the taking of online
surveys. I totally agree that this is one area where more
caution
is needed before you sign up for a Paid Survey Program, whether it is
at a free site or one where you join as a member and pay a small fee.
Let
me
state at the outset that I've taken the utmost
care to only promote affiliates who I believe offer genuine
opportunites that have also been verified by respected GPT reviewer, Top Site Reviews.
These affiliates offer:
paid
membership for a one-time-only
small fee
a
money
back guarantee in the event you are dissatisfied
up-to-date
directories of market researchers who want your services
support services both
online or through telephone contact
a
business service that has been
provided for
several years
But first, here's a free one! Survey Savvy is probably the Net's leading free-to-join online survey company. They are accredited by the Better Business Bureau and are definitely worth a look. To do so, please click HERE.
So, let's look how to get
paid taking online surveys
There
are a large number of companies who will pay you
per hour or per survey anything from $5 upwards just for completing
an online survey
to
get your perspective on whatever it is in which
they are interested. The top rate I've seen is $150, but that
is
harder to find, and is more common for focus group participation.
Best
of
all, you can do this from the
comfort of your own home. All you need is a
computer and a
connection to the Internet.
Some will also pay you to take
part in phone surveys,
for which the norm is payment of around $30, but payment of double that
is not impossible. I've seen claims of higher, but have no evidence
that this is really the case.
Get paid to participate
in focus group panels for 30 to 60
minutes and
make from
$50
up to $250, which is quite rare and only at the very top end.
Some
digital retailers
have new products which they will send to you before they are released
on the market. All you'll have to do is test them out, share your
opinion, and get paid!
OK, you won't make a
fortune, but you
should be able to earn reasonable additional income,
certainly enough
to make life just a touch more comfortable.
You need to appreciate that the affiliates I am promoting are NOT the
companies who will offer you the actual surveys for completion, nor the
focus groups to attend. The three affiliates I'm promoting,
provide you with up-to-date
directories which give you the contacts of companies who are willing to
pay you for your
opinions.These
directories are maintained as up-to-date as possible, through the use
of your fees, to pay staff to keep them "hot". The free sites cannot do this.
The
market is huge and you'll get paid for your
opinion
Globally
the survey market is massive. Just in the US, companies spend
something like $250bn annually promoting their products to consumers,
after having sought the opinons of people like you.
And YOU GET PAID
for your opinion.
Companies
who spend this massive sum on researching opinions, are trying
to ascertain
what the boffins call consumer behavior, as this has a very significant
effect on the development of new products, and the improvements which
are made to existing products. That new model SUV you saw
yesterday, will have had millions spent on it, around the world, on
researching its appeal to you, the consumer.
These companiesall
know very well that
they won't get the best research for
free, so they are very happy to pay,actually quite
generously, in
order to get the very best info that their market research dollars can
buy.
OK,
here comes the bottom-line.....
Obviously,
your
potential income will be dependent upon the number, type and frequency
of surveys that are offered to you. However, it seems to be
possible to spend two
hours a day on this, and make up to $300 a day, or $2,100 a
week,
$8,400 a
month and $100,800 a year. Attracted to this sort of money?
Most would be. Please click on any of the links throughout
this brief article, or on the banners below, and you too could start to
earn today!
Please
remember that wherever you see earnings amounts quoted, while they
might well be accurate, they cannot be guaranteed for everyone.
Just remember the maxim: "You will only get rewards that are
relative to your effort."
It's
worth noting that respected web site reviewer, Top
Site Reviews,
rates
both Survey Scout and Paid for Free
highly in its recommended list, and has verified
the
critical
money back guarantee they offer. Get Cash for
Surveys has
been in
business
since at least 2003. That gives me the confidence to promote
it
as an affiliate, as a site that
wasn't genuine would not be able to
stay in business for five years.
If
you are wondering why I haven't recommended any free-to-join survey
sites, it is solely because I have not been able to find any in which I
would be able to be confident that you would receive up-to-date
directories.
The three companies above are
professionals, running a business which Top Site Reviews has checked
out through personal contact. The
fees they
receive enable them to
employ full-time staff who are responsible for keeping the directories
up to date.
If you have had personal experience of a good
free-to-join survey site, which has paid you consistently, I would love
to hear from you (email: mikeATmakingdollars4u.com)
Just in case you're still not convinced, click HERE
and you'll be taken to an article I wrote earlier this year called "Get
Paid to Take Online Surveys - And Avoid the Scams". It will
open
in a new window, as shown below, which you close to return

Hopefully, you're now feeling comfortable to join on or other
of the members programs above.
