Every year companies spend millions of dollars on Market Research. These companies use paid surveys to conduct market research, launch products and other related research from consumers within their target market.  Many times I am sure you will have heard statistics like, "a study of 1000 men said ....." or something similar. Those statistics usually come from paid surveys conducted either offline or online. The companies conducting the survey happily reimburse the participants with cash or free products. Basically, they are paying for your opinion for market research purpose or before launching a new product. Surveys are available for many different types of products and for different types of people. Normally before you are asked to complete a long survey, you will be asked a few questions to determine your suitability for the survey. If you match the criteria the company is looking for they will explain how much you will receive for completing the entire survey. Question is with the high growth of online paid survey sites do people actually make money online? The short answer is yes and many people are doing it. However, if you are looking to earn a full time income online then paid surveys may not be right for you. It is possible to make good money doing paid surveys but not enough to make you rich.
