How
Do You Get Paid For Surveys?
If you
have a computer, with Internet and email access, then you can get
paid for surveys. The extra income could be $500 a month, or up
to $5000 a month, depending on how many surveys you complete.
You can get paid for
surveys, participating in focus groups, previewing movie trailers
and even get paid to sample new products. In each case the particular
company that is giving or sponsoring the opportunity will pay you
directly. These are often market research firms hired by other companies
- both large and small - to do various types of market research
on their behalf including paid surveys online.
But firstly, you do
need to register with a reputable survey company like SurveyScout
to access the databases of good, reliable, money making paid
surveys.
Usually, but not always,
you get paid for surveys in U.S. funds. If you do not live in the
U.S. you simply deposit these survey payments with your bank or
other financial institution and they will convert the U.S. funds
to your local currency for you automatically. With some companies,
you can even get paid for surveys directly over the Internet using
PayPal. Here is a guide to what you might (depending on the company),
get paid for surveys and other online opportunities:
- Get paid for surveys
online and make from $5 to $75 each, or more
- Get paid for participating
in focus groups and make up to $150 an hour
- Get paid for taking
phone surveys and you can earn as much as $120
- Get paid to sample
new products (and keep the free products too)
- Get paid for previewing
movie trailers for $4 to $25 an hour
How Do You
Earn Cash, Vouchers,
Prizes, Free New Product Samples?
Around 30% of the market
research companies pay only in cash.
Some pay in gift certificates
to places like Amazon.com, Target, Walmart, etc. This is almost
the same as cash since you can buy things that you would buy anyway.
Let's face it; a $50 gift certificate to Amazon.com is in reality
almost as good as cash.
According to SurveyScout,
“Another 62% of the market research companies reward survey
takers via ‘Cash & Prizes’. What this means is that
sometimes they pay in cold hard cash, and other times they reward
you with prizes, free products, ‘points’ redeemable
for cash or prizes, etc.”
So, for example, one
month a market research company might offer a free product or prize
drawing (usually the odds are pretty good!) and the next month they
may offer a $50 to $150 survey and/or focus group.
Quoting SurveyScout
again, “This is why we strongly suggest that you get yourself
registered with as many of the market research companies as you
possibly can, because you just never know who will be offering what,
and when. Do NOT make the mistake of only registering with those
listed as ‘Cash’ only.”
Finally, according to
SurveyScout,
“The remaining 11% currently pay only in prizes, free products
and/or ‘points’. Points redeemable for cash are great,
you just have to build it up before getting paid.”
To summarize: You too
can get paid for surveys. They are a popular and proven way to make
money online. Simply register with a couple of reputable paid survey
companies, because they have large databases of reliable market
research companies. Have a go, because like so many others, you
too can get paid for surveys online. SurveyScout
would be a good starting point. BOTH have different, quality leads
so it is worthwhile to join both programs. Remember, a lot of people
get paid for surveys online and make thousands of dollars per month.
It's entirely up to YOU!
