What are online paid surveys?
There are thousands of people selling a vast number of different products online on how to make money from the internet, taking simple surveys online is I think possibly the easiest way to earn a good amount of money from your PC.
The main thing to remember about any type of money making idea you’ve found on the web is that you’re not going to be a millionaire over night whatever the advert tells you. I like to think that at least with online surveys you know you’re earning with every survey you fill.
Companies pay big money for market research and a way to find out what people want is to use the internet to ask for our opinions, there are a lot of websites who try to gather the information on their behalf and a way of obtaining your views is by paying for individuals to take surveys.
I have been filling out online surveys for a few years now and you find many sites that turn out to be a complete waste of time and effort, however on the other hand there are plenty of legit sites that are more than happy to pay you well for completing their online research. There are sites I’ve found who send vouchers as well as money and to be honest when you’re receiving as much as £75.00 in Amazon.co.uk vouchers for 10 minutes reading.
You find yourself filling surveys in for all sorts of different companies, one minute you’ll be reviewing the latest McVitie’s TV advert and the next e-mail you receive could be asking you about your last holiday experience. You never know what you’re going to be asked next.
The rewards as I said earlier are not always cash, they can be vouchers or a point’s scheme. You can of course choose which survey sites to go with and you’ll find all specify what there rewards are and how you receive them, some sites send you cheques in the post where others require you have a Paypal account for them to send payments via electronic transfer. Point’s schemes are similar to Nectar and Clubcard points where you can exchange your saved points for items from their lists. I personally don’t go for the point’s schemes as I like t see the money and vouchers at the end of the month. Payments are sent out either at the end of the month or after you’ve reached a certain amount or level where you can withdraw when you choose.
Don’t under any circumstances pay to become a member of a site which will send you surveys to fill out, this is a con. You should never have to pay to get paid.
How to get started
The first thing to do is open a separate E-mail account just for the incoming surveys, this will also be the address you should use when registering with online survey sites.
Believe me when you receive the number of surveys I do each day you don’t want anything else to get mixed up in the middle of them.
Next you want to compile a list of sites you want to register with, be careful at this stage not to register with just anyone or you’re E-mail box will be completely full of worthless nonsense. I have put together a small list of the sites I personally use, Join all of these to start you off and you’ll be surprised just how many surveys you are sent. Don’t expect thousands in the first day or so but after you’ve filled a couple in they will start flowing to your mail box.
Take time to research different websites before registering visit paid survey forums and find out about the best places to enroll with. There are quite a few forums out there and they are a good source of information where you can chat to others with the same goal.
Register with the websites which interest you, and remember try and be fairly honest as the surveys sent to you will in most cases depend on your interests, hobbies, career, etc… Remember to write down all the site names and your personal username and password for each account, you don’t want to have lots of money sitting in someone else’s account when it could be in yours.
After you’ve registered with ten companies or so sit back and wait to see what comes through to your e-mail, once you get to know the different companies you’ll be able to tell which e-mails to prioritize and the layout of their survey’s. Try not to over load yourself with hundreds of e-mails, check your in-box as much as possible and complete as many surveys as you can.
When you’ve got the hang of completing these surveys why not have a go at the online discussions or even the telephone interviews, this is where you can make a really good amount of money some companies pay over £50.00 per hour just to chat with you on the phone. Remember not to give your personal details out unless you are completely sure of who you’re giving it to and what they intend to do with the information.
Finally good luck, I hope you enjoy sharing your opinions and earning that extra money you’ve been looking for.
