Online paid surveys can make you rich. Is this statement true or false? The answer is false. But before you drop your jaw, allow me to explain more. Taking free internet paid surveys can never make you rich. But to earn you a second income is truly achievable. So the next spin doctor that comes along telling you that you can get rich from doing online surveys, send him to the door. It is a Scam! This article will reveal truths and dispel some myths about making money from online paid surveys.
Online Paid Surveys Myth 1 – You Can Become Rich from Taking Surveys
Surveys can make you a millionaire. If you consider having a few hundred to several thousand dollars as being wealthy, then you are not wrong to say that doing free internet paid surveys do make you rich. But to the man on the street, being rich takes on another definition. Well, you cannot become a millionaire from surveys.
Online Paid Surveys Truth 1 – You Can Pay Off Bills from Taking Surveys
But using paid surveys to pay off bills, buy new toys for the kids at home, bringing your family out for dinners, paying your car installment and mortgage loan is likely.
Online Paid Surveys Myth 2 – You Can Cheat the Survey System
Folks have beaten the survey system. So can you. What they do is to check the answer across the same column in each questionnaire. Completing each survey takes no more than 5 minutes flat. No thinking is needed, just mindless finger action. The logic is: the faster you complete, the more you do and the more you earn.
Online Paid Surveys Truth 2 – The Survey System Outsmarts You
Some smart alecks think that they can beat the survey systems. Unfortunately, the online surveys would be reviewed by human beings. The system may take your answers but they hardly escape the scrutiny of a trained evaluator. You would lose your account if you try to earn a few quick bucks.
Online Paid Surveys Myth 3 – You Can Second Guess the Answers
There are “sophisticated” survey takers who second guess the answers to the survey questions. Why do they have to do so? You see, free internet paid surveys require prescreening or what we call prequalification to assess your eligibility for the surveys. This is quite usual for high paying surveys or focus group discussions which can net you up to $150 per session. People would try to emulate the response of a potential candidate in order to participate in the surveys. Some also lie about their hobbies such that they can be offered more survey opportunities.
Online Paid Surveys Truth 3 – You are Second Guessed!
The online paid surveys system is smarter than that. The survey companies are either using human reviewers or garnering programs to review the answers or both. So if you think you can second guess what the appropriate answers for each question is, then you are in for a rude shock. They have tons of statistical data and intelligent software to help them decipher the information you provide. While it does not work every time, it is just not worth it to risk your account for that.
Online Paid Surveys Myth 4 – You Can Succeed With Just One Survey Company
Stay loyal to one survey or market research company and you would get the chance to do numerous surveys and make a killing out of it.
Online Paid Surveys Truth 4 – You Can Succeed Only With Numerous Survey Companies
Professional survey takers do not stick with one market research company. To stick with one is to decide to be poor. The trick to succeeding with online paid surveys is to be registered with as many good paying market research companies as possible. This would bring you a constant stream of surveys to participate in. Without that, you only get trickles, nothing like the avalanche of free internet paid surveys you were expecting.

A Practical Guide to Decrease Web Page Load Time
By: Edgar E. Kneel | 11/10/2008
Why is it important for your pages to load fast you might ask. The answer is easy; if your pages load slowly you will loose sales. From a consumer perspective you have a fraction of a second to show activity. Your page doesn’t have to load completely but they certainly need to see some activity right away. Consumers are impatient and have been trained by the major sites that pages start displaying immediately. If you don’t have fast loading pages, most consumers will go to the next site.
