Money for Nothing

You might think making money with no effort is a misnomer. Well in some cases, it is actually possible to make money for doing very little—which is the beauty of the internet. It has opened up a whole new level of commerce and allowed ordinary people to earn money from the comfort of their own homes.

If you have some knowledge of website design, you can buy a domain and hosting service, build a site, and use it to earn money by using a service like Google AdSense. It really is money for nothing as all you do is allow Google to places adverts related to the content of your site and if somebody clicks on them, you get paid.

Affiliate marketing works in much the same way. By placing links to affiliate sites on your websites, you can earn money. There are loads of affiliate schemes out there to choose from. It is simply a matter of picking the right one that you think will work for you.

Can you write? If so, then writing website content or articles online is a great way of making some extra money. By advertising your services on forums geared to e-commerce, then you will be able to find as much work as you can handle. This is particularly the case if you are a native English speaker. Don’t expect to get paid a huge amount per article, but it is possible to fit this type of work around other job, or home life, very successfully.

Another source of income if you are any good at writing fiction is to pen short stories and sell them via an e-publisher. The world of e-publishing is really beginning to take off and e-books are becoming increasingly popular. Erotica is a good genre to write in as it is always extremely popular. Just make sure you can write believable sex scenes!

Use eBay to sell your unwanted junk. If you look around your house, I can guarantee you will have a load of stuff that you never use. So why are you letting it take up space in your home? Sort it out, make a list of what you have that you don’t use, and then get it uploaded on to eBay. Before know it, you have made money for nothing and de-cluttered your home at the same time.

If you have the time and the motivation, the possibilities for making money are endless.

Paid Surveys – Why You Shouldn’t Pay Anything To Do Surveys For Money?

You have probably discovered by now some sites that offer you the opportunity to earn money by doing paid surveys online. These sites claim you can make significant monthly income and can provide you with a list of market research sites you must join in order to receive surveys and get paid. The only catch is that you must pay some fee (usually 20$ to 30$) in order to lay your hands on their list of “proven” market research companies.

Creating a database of survey sites does take a lot of work, effort and time and it may sound reasonable to set up a price for it and many people agree with this. If you do appreciate this work and wish to buy this list, feel free to do so but at least read this article to know what you should seek on such sites and how to determine if you are on a legitimate site, or not. Use your own judgement. I, for myself, prefer free opportunities.

According to some online resources relating paid surveys, no respectful company would ever ask for any sign-up fee for granting you the opportunity to work for them. Such a company would have no need to conceal their address and telephone number on their website.

As you can see, legitimate membership survey sites should be free and should not conceal their street address and telephone number on their websites. Since most of these sites are not free, they should have a correct contact information and state on their websites or in their terms the requirements for participation and the real possibilities of making money. They should also have a refund policy in case you don’t earn anything and honor it. You’d be surprised as how many refunds are not honored.

That is why you should do a research on your own about a site you wish to purchase a list from. Try to find everything you can about positive and negative experiences and then decide what will be the best thing to do. Especially check if they honor their refund policies. There are a lot of scams out there.

In my opinion I don’t believe you should pay anything to access these lists and here is why. Although it is possible to earn a lot of money and cover your investment “fee”, it is also possible never to earn any money. Why is that?

Paid surveys are not for anyone. They are conducted by a market research companies on behalf of some large company seeking to improve sales and willing to invest certain sum of money in the market research. Since they are spending quite large amounts of money, they can’t afford to waste it, so they will target their research to population which brings them most profit. So if you do not live in the USA, Canada, UK, Australia, or some other developed country, you’ll probably never make any money from surveys. Even survey companies that claim to be available worldwide are very often restricted to some countries.

Besides your demographic location on most survey sites you have to fill in your profile based on your age, interests, education, income, etc. The number of surveys you will get will mostly depend on your profile. If your profile fits the required target population you’ll get more surveys and more chances to earn money. It is also possible that your profile will not fit in and you’ll rarely have an opportunity to complete paid surveys.

There are also other reasons why you shouldn’t pay anything to access market research companies:

You will be paying for something you can easily have for FREE! These membership sites are only selling information anyone can get. Sites that conduct market research are not hidden. They need as many possible members as they can find, so they will not ask for any fee. You can join all of them and never pay a dime.

Many market research companies have affiliate programs to help them recruit new members. Therefore if someone introduces you to a survey site, he/she will get paid for it and there is no real justification in asking for any more money from you.

These sites usually don’t have a refund policy, so if you don’t earn anything with surveys, you won’t be able to ask for a refund. It is more likely that they have a refund policy, but do not honor it. This is typical for scam sites and that is why it’s very important to do some researching first.

There are a lot of free lists of survey sites you can join and earn money if you qualify. You can test them out and see if they work for you or not and you won’t have to pay anything. Check below for a free list of paid surveys.

You probably won’t earn enough to quit your daily job with paid surveys, but they can help you get some extra money. And remember - you don't have to pay anything to access these sites.

Cash Paid Surveys – Finding the Best Companies

Cash paid surveys are fun and have become a source for extra cash for lots of people today. It is a convenient and easy way to earn extra money with not a lot of work, in the comfort of your own home.  Sounds hard to believe to some, but it is true.

If you are looking for such an income generator, then prepare yourself before taking the plunge.

Basic Steps to Getting Setup with Cash Paid Surveys

First, select a few sites that offer cash paid surveys and read carefully what they are offering you. Some sites will offer you direct access to the marketing companies who process the surveys. In this case you will have to browse the database and apply for the surveys you are interested in, other sites act as “the middle man” - thy have agreements with big marketing companies from which they receive the surveys and then distribute them through their registered users. In this case, you will have to passively wait for surveys to complete.

Also, bear in mind that not all paid surveys are actually cash paid surveys… Some surveys do not offer money as a reward for completing them. Instead, you might receive a free product or a service; discounts at certain merchants, vouchers or coupons, free trials, etc. there are even surveys that allow you to join a competition upon their completion. If you are not really after these kinds of remunerations, it's better to make this decision yourself in advance to avoid disappointment later.

Another important thing to consider is how you will get the cash and who is paying. If you have joined a mediator type of site, you are usually paid by that site, not the one you are doing the end survey for. If you have joined a database of companies seeking survey participants you are likely to be paid by the surveying company. Regardless of the details you should be aware of the payment method - are you going to be paid by check or by bank transfer etc.

Double Check Your Details!

Finally make sure that your personal details will be used as stated in the contact details you originally submitted. Unfortunately, there are many fraud survey web sites that would offer you to participate in a cash paid survey, for the sole purpose of getting hold of your personal details. From there, your details can later be sold to many other companies and you may end up receiving hundreds of unsolicited mail and SPAM emails. Make sure you investigate the company in which you are going to participate with. Do a browser search on your computer and see if any reviews appear in your search.

Remember if you get with the right companies, cash paid surveys can be fun and easy. If you would like more reviews and tips check out my links below.


5 Tips For New Internet Surfers.

Everyday, thousands of new surfers open their browsers for the first time, it is confusing in the beginning, but if you have some good advices in the early beginning, you can surf easier and faster with a friendly browser...

 Tip 1: Surf in security.
 The first action that you will do if you are new to the net is to open your browser to surf. If you have a PC, like most of the Internet population. You will have Internet explorer installed in your computer, but it is not the best browser available on the net, and it is in fact limited. You may think that it is hard to surf on Internet.
When you will discover Mozilla Firefox, you will be even more happy to surf on Internet, for sure.
One of the first reason you should use Firefox is the integrated Firewall, which protect you against spyware and other adawares.

Tip 2: No need to tape http://www.---.com all the time.
The second reason to choose Firefox is that you save time; for instance, when you went on ebay.com yesterday, you wrote: http://www.ebay.com with Firefox, you just tape “e” in the address bar of your browser, then http://www.ebay.com will appear in the drop down menu, it's like magic, and it's fun too.

Tip 3: See all your pages in only one window.
I really love this one; you can surf in tab. That is really powerful.
For instance, with Internet Explorer, whenever you click on a link, you have 2 choice: open the page in the same window, or open it in a new window. Firefox enable you to open several pages in one window.
Let's explain: you are now looking yahoo.com, and you want to see the news, you just right click on the link, select open in a new tab, and you have now two pages in only one window. To switch between your pages, you just need to click on anyone of the page you want to look in, all that in the same window. You can open fifteen windows in one time if you want.
Better, you can bookmark(in Internet explorer, bookmark is favorites) a tab, and open it later. It is a very intelligent way of surfing. It is very efficient when you are doing some researches on a subject, on google for example.

Tip 4: All your downloads at the same place.
The fourth reason to choose Firefox is that when you download a file on your computer, sometimes, you want to open it, but you face a problem: Where did you save that file? With Firefox, just  click on tools, and then you select download, and a pop up window appear. You just scroll to find your program. It will save you time and a lot of headaches.
However, it is recommended, for the  first time, to save your download on your desktop, then after save your file in the folder you choose. You can download firefox for Free. You just type firefox in google.com and you're done.

Tip 5: Don't forget a good anti virus,
While you surf on Internet, some hijackers will attempt to damage your computer, by introducing a virus in it. If you don't take your precaution, you may loose all that is stored in your hard disk. You can download AVG, which is excellent at download.com.

There is a lot to learn when you start on Internet, but take your time. And everything will go smoothly.

Viral marketing allows you to spread the word about your company and product without any costs or if ever low costs only.

Marketing Research Evolves – Paid Surveys Come Of Age

Up until the 20th century, buying and selling was simple. Businesses were largely local which allowed for a close relationship between suppliers and consumers.  Competition was non-existent and the opinion of consumers was felt to be irrelevant.

The rapid advancements during the Industrial Revolution quickly changed business operations from a seller’s market to a buyer’s market. Early marketing students had been educated as economists, schooled in the principle that demand was relevant to purchasing power. However, it became apparent that demand was much more complex than the financial ability to buy and that desire had become a factor in business.

New concepts in advertising proved that purchasing desires could be magnified and shaped by elements beyond mere availability of products. Extended markets allowed greater production of goods and transportation options quickly taught businesses that they needed to know specifics about customers to be able to compete.

With the modern marketplace being fiercely competitive, companies today have a greater demand than ever to monitor the pulse of consumers. However, the busy lifestyles of consumers in general made it more difficult for companies to engage people in telephone and direct mail surveys. Consumers perceived that they were being given a sales-pitch versus participating in independent research. And who has time for that?

The Internet age introduced easy access to consumers for marketing researchers. They could reach both general consumers and business consumers easily by posting their surveys online; however, there was still the issue of enticing people to take the time to participate.

Over the years, consumer science and market research have evolved collectively into a finely-honed craft. Companies spend over $250B globally in an effort to convince people to buy their products and services. Of that amount, over $750M goes for market research alone.

Being the savvy bunch that they are, marketing researchers finally grasped the concept of offering consumers something of value in return for their time and participation versus asking people to participate just for the sake of offering their opinions to help businesses in tailoring their products and services. To meet their own ever increasing demands for consumer information they began offering various incentives in exchange for time.

Consumer survey incentives range from entry into drawings for cash prices, points awards that can be accumulated and redeemed for merchandise and even cash payments to participants. Specialized surveys for professionals such as those in the IT industry often pay quite well. Researchers also pay consumers to participate in customized studies through which they can learn about their perceptions of specific products and/or services.

In addition to paid incentives, some marketing research companies offer people free products for sampling. They forward new products to consumers to try with the agreement that the consumer will later provide an assessment of the product. After trying the product, consumers complete an online survey sharing their experience with the product and indicating whether or not they would buy it on their own. Test products can range anywhere from household cleaners, snack foods, health/beauty products and all the way up to electronics. In many cases, participants are allowed to keep the products at no charge.

By taking advantage of paid market research offers, consumers can actually earn a part-time or even full-time income, depending upon the amount of time they invest and the number of research panels in which they participate. This has proven a productive source of supplemental income for stay-at-home moms, small business owners, retirees and college students. Simply by signing up at paid survey web sites and checking their e-mail for survey invitations, they can earn extra cash and incentives on a regular basis.    

Another advantage of earning extra cash by joining Internet-based research panels is convenience. Participants can respond to survey invitations 24/7 which is much easier than trying to work a second or part-time job.

Market researchers also know that small businesses are the pulse of the American economy. With the emphasis in today’s markets having shifted primarily from that of products to the service industry, researchers always have a demand for opinions and details of purchasing practices of small business owners.

Small business owners and work-from-home professionals can have a significant impact and can shape the quality of products and services available to them by participating in online surveys. This allows them to tell companies exactly what instead of hoping that someone out there will finally deliver what they need.

Plus, they will be rewarded for the time they invest. The concept of paid surveys makes it a win/win situation for both sides. Be aware that the market research profession is largely legitimate but there are some Internet sites that are a scam.  Never pay a sign-up fee for receiving information about available surveys.

Remember that you have something market researchers value:  your experience and opinions as a consumer.  Use that information to negotiate participation in research surveys and you will enhance your lifestyle and income.

Paid Surveys – Outline and Review

There are many companies searching for people to get their opinions to help improve on products and services.

A survey is a means to gather opinions and receive more information about a certain product, service or just basic information about a group of people. For example, a company can conduct a survey to gain a better profile of their customers - their gender, age, occupation, incomes and so on. Most surveys take from 5 to 15 minuets to take.

Another example is the common surveys for usability of certain products - in this case, customers are asked questions about the product that will help the company to improve it.

Government & Agencies…

In certain occasions, the government or another agency will perform a survey in order to receive the opinion of the nation about specific question. Surveys can also be performed by statistic agencies to gather statistic data (when there are elections coming for example).

A common way of gathering people's opinion nowadays is the paid survey. In this case, people are paid to participate in a survey. The company who needs the information can conduct a paid survey or a third party that is doing it on behalf of different companies can conduct it.

Paid surveys can bring you extra income. Payments vary among different surveys - you can be paid from $10 to $200 for completing a single survey, or participating in an online focus group. In general, the remuneration depends on the survey type and its length. If we assume you complete five paid surveys per month of an average of $50 you can see that you have made $250 quite easily.

Well, if you're like me, it sounds interesting and tempting so far. Now you are asking yourself, how do I get into this paid surveys thing?

The quickest and easiest way is to search the internet. You will quickly find hundreds of web sites offering paid surveys. However, do not jump at the first offer. Check each site carefully to see if it is genuine. Unfortunately, there are many fake companies offering paid surveys and later you may discover that there are no payments at all.

You should first look if the site looks credible, if it shows a contact address and phone number, are there testimonials from other people participating in their program. Some sites may ask you to pay a set up fee upon registration. It is an application fee for your enrolment in the site's database. It may sound fair enough for you however, this is the easiest way to be fooled - they can just take the money and forget about sending you surveys.

Find discussion groups or forums dedicated to paid surveys - you will not only find the best sites for paid surveys but you will see peoples recommendations and suggestions about how to make the most out of this opportunity.

Finally be very careful to whom you are disclosing your personal information. While some paid surveys are genuine and conducted with research purposes, others might be used for unsolicited mail shots or email spam. Call the web site and ask for explanation to see what kind of personal information you will have to give them and how it will be used. This is always a good idea before you commit yourself.

I will be posting several reviews over the next few months on various sites. Come back from time to time and check. You can find a link at the top of this site for a paid survey site that has had proven success.

Survey Tips:
  • Register only with online survey panels that list a privacy policy on their website
  • Look for panels approved by the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and that have privacy policies reviewed by eTRUST or features the WebTrust for Online Privacy Seal of Assurance.
  • Beware of "survey websites" asking you to receive information for special offers and other survey panels during registration - these websites may sell your name and information to other companies that will send you spam.
  • Always set up a separate e-mail account exclusively for survey invitations. This will make it easier for you to see how many surveys you have received, and will avoid spam being sent to your personal e-mail address, should you make a mistake and register with an unreputable surveys website.
  • Beware of "survey websites" that ask for overtly personal information such as your bank account information, credit card numbers, full names of family members, etc. A real online market research company would never ask you to provide this type of information.
  • Be cautious of "get rich quick" websites. You cannot get rich taking online surveys. However, you can make a decent amount of cash on the side participating in surveys.
  • Legitimate online survey e-mail invitations will provide information on the type of study being conducted, the survey length, and the incentive for completion. Do not respond or click on e-mail "survey invitations" that feature ads to win products, cash, etc. These e-mails are not coming from legitimate market research companies!
  • Some research companies will ask you to download software after registration. This software usually tracks your web browsing habits and the information is then sent to marketers. It is ok to download this software if you can verify a legitimate market research firm is running the site - do your homework to make sure that this is indeed the case.
  • Look for mentions of marketing association memberships on survey panel websites. Reputable associations include CASRO (Council of American Survey Research Organizations) and the AAPOR (American Association for Public Opinion Research).
  • Your opinion counts! Marketers truly are interested in what you think, enough to reward you with cash and prizes just for sharing your thoughts. Stay cautious when registering with online survey panels, but when you've found a reputable panel - have fun and reap the rewards of being a panelist!


Finally, go to a free website which does not make you register.  Looking on
http://www.gatewayincome.com., it seems all of the survey companies are legit so this would be a good website to start off and apply.  Plus they give you great tips on how to utilize the survey process to help save time with little effort.  Have Fun!

Here’s How Paid Online Surveys Work!

Ok the first thing that I have to give is a warning. Be very careful and do your research which should include the specific companies that you are considering joining up with and finding as much feed back from those who “have gone before” you. Here is the deal—just like with anything else in this world and unfortunately especially on the internet you are going to find that for every legitimate web site out there offering you hundreds of dollars of consistent income per day there are 20 more that are a bunch of broken promises. So please, BE CAREFUL, and keep this in mind as you get excited about the potential that paid online surveys have to supplement your income.

Another huge thing that you have to realize is that most of the paid online survey sites are not the actual sites that you will do the surveys for and get paid by. They are simply the gateway that has organized the opportunities and given you direct access to the different companies that are seeking input for their product or service, or are simply performing market analysis research. These sites charge (if they are real) will charge you a one time fee and this is to pay the real live online support that they provide to their members that need help or have questions about these survey jobs.

So do your research, understand the process, and then you can start earning money. It is well within the average computer user’s ability to make several hundred dollars per day while working about 3 or 4 hours per day filling out paid online surveys. Sounds good right? Another cool thing is that these sites will organize the type of job so that you are making comments and answering questions about stuff that you know and enjoy rather than trudging through material that you have no idea or interest in.

These companies (the real ones) are your friends. They do everything that they can to help your work go smoothly and to help you do things faster and make more money. The sites even sometimes offer you software that allows you to fill out more paid online surveys in less time than. This software is something they could easily charge for but the don’t, and it really increases your income potential.

Paid Surveys – Another Earning Opportunity, Or Not?

Paid surveys are questionnaires, or interviews in which you answer some simple questions and earn money for it. Is this real? The answer is YES.

Most companies that offer various products and services are constantly seeking for a way to improve quality of their products and services and that is the reason they value opinions of their customers. Sometimes in order to beat their competition, or just to improve their sales they are always trying to make changes in order to best satisfy the needs of their potential customers.

This is precisely the number 1 reason why they are willing to invest certain amount of money in order to hire market research companies that conduct surveys, so they will know better how to fit their customer’s needs. When they do, the market research company conducts a survey, or surveys where they gather the opinions of customers, or potential customers (people like you and me). Since this is sometimes a time consuming process, they are often willing to offer incentives for filling out these questionnaires in form of money, or various gifts and prizes. This is precisely how the paid surveys work.

Now the next question that arises is: Can anyone participate in paid surveys and earn cash for their opinions? The answer is NO.

Most market research companies perform paid surveys on targeted population. They target population by their profile (location, interests, age, sex, education, income, etc.) For example if some company sells their products only in one country, it will be natural that it is interested only in the opinions from residents of that country. Also if a company sells for example underwear for young women, it would be interested only in opinions from this population and will most likely ask the market research company to conduct paid surveys on young women.

These are only examples, but you should see from them that if someone doesn’t fit the desired population, he/she will probably never or rarely get any opportunity to complete paid surveys. However, since there are many different companies that offer various products and services for different people, you will sooner or later fit the desired profile and have the opportunity to complete paid surveys.

Does it matter where I live? This question adds up to the previous. The answer is YES.

The great majority of the market research companies conduct paid surveys only in developed countries. For example, if you live in the USA, Canada, UK, Australia, etc. you will have more opportunities to complete paid surveys. This is easy to understand since the large companies interested in conducting the market research mostly have customers from these countries. There are also market research companies that accept members from nearly any country worldwide.

I have created a free list of some companies that conduct paid surveys and put it online. You will find the link near the end of this article.

Does it cost anything to become a member of some market research company? The answer is NO. Joining market research companies and doing paid surveys is absolutely free. In fact they pay you to complete surveys!

There are some companies that charge money in exchange for a list of paid survey sites. They ask usually somewhere between $30 and $50 for a list. You may buy this list if you wish, but you should be careful. There are a lot of scams that only seek your money and there are no guarantees that you will fit the required profile and earn anything with paid surveys. Always do some research first by finding positive and negative reviews on such companies and than decide whether you should buy it, or not.

Paid survey sites can easily be found for free and there is no need to purchase a list, at least not before you check paid surveys out and see if they work for you, or not.

How much money can I expect to earn? On average, you can expect to receive one or two surveys per month (sometimes more, or less) from one market research company. If you live in the developed country, you will probably receive more often invitations to complete paid surveys. And you will receive for these surveys on average between $5 and $10. As you can see, paid surveys probably won’t replace your income, but money from them may come in handy.

Just remember that it is possible never to earn anything with paid surveys.

5 Questions Every Mom Should Ask About Paid Surveys

If you’re reading this, you’re probably looking for some extra money. You’re willing to work but you want to be compensated for your time. You also want flexibility in your schedule. If this sounds like you, then paid surveys can be wonderful.

Paid surveys are perfect for stay at home mothers. Obviously the extra money will help with the bills. They can also be quite fun. Of course, since surveys can be done online, the schedule is up to you. You can take surveys when the baby is sleeping, when the kids are out, or while watching TV with the family. It is really up to you. You’re in control.

To figure out if paid surveys are for you, it is important to ask the right questions. Below are the 5 questions moms should ask.

1. Is it really possible to get paid for taking surveys online? Explain this!

Surveys are legitimate. They are real. As a mom, you can make money from your home taking surveys online. According to the research, there are at least 6-7 million companies that survey consumers. They pay you for your opinions. Ultimately, they do this to figure out how to sell their products and services. You are helping them do research and they are paying you for it.

2. How much money can I earn? How many surveys can I take?

This is actually pretty simple. The amount of money you make is directly proportional to the effort you put in. In plain terms, the more surveys you take, the more you earn. Your monthly income will depend on what you do and how much time you spend. Some people are on top of the latest promotions and are in tune with the needs of marketing companies. They react quickly to survey requests. Based on the circumstances, it is possible to make $75 per hour or more for every hour, although this will vary. The key to maximizing you opportunities will be subscribing to a paid survey database.

3. How do I know this is legitimate and that I’ll get paid? Are there any guarantees?

Most paid survey and marketing research companies are legitimate. However, there are some scams. To find the best opportunities and to avoid scams, it is best to pay a small fee to join a paid survey database. They often offer many perks too, such as free ebooks on maximizing revenue and also form filling automation tools. Keep in mind that fraudulent companies will be quickly removed from the paid survey databases. If you surf for surveys on your own, one at a time, you’re likely to encounter issues. That means you’ll waste your time and energy. As a mother, you can’t afford to waste what spare time you have!

4. How often will I be paid? How often will I be paid? Exactly how am I paid?

The companies administering the survey will usually pay you directly. This is almost always done using checks. The delivery is usually done with postal mail. The more progressive companies understand the needs of mothers. They provide flexibility and pay via PayPal. Typically, you’ll get paid every other week. In some cases, you might have to wait a full month. Be sure to pay attention.

5. Why do paid survey databases charge a fee?

The simple answer is quality, safety and reputation. A small fee for subscription to a paid survey database will pay for itself in just a few days for active moms. The small fees also encourage serious applicants only. Consider it a screening process. This increases the quality of the database and increases the likelihood that companies will seek out the paid survey databases. It works better for everyone and actually drives up your chances for getting in on a good (high paying) survey. Some companies only work with a few paid survey databases, so again, your small subscription fee will give you better opportunities.

They are many opportunities out there for moms. With a little time and energy, and perhaps a small upfront investment for access to a paid survey database, you could be pulling down smart money every day.

What exactly are paid surveys?

Online surveys have been proven to be the best method for companies to gather research as its quick, simply and cost effective. They offer people the chance to fill out a survey and get cash on completion – told you its simple! These forms can range anything from five minutes to thirty minutes and the price you receive depends on that factor. In today's world its said more then 50% of consumer research is carried out via online surveys as there proven to be the most effective and efficient rather then carrying out on site surveys which takes more staff, time to prepare, more effort, etc.
Companies have been using surveys to do their research and find out consumer needs based on a product or to find out peoples buying habits since the very beginning as the only way to find out what people think is to ask them! By inventing paid surveys or giving incentives to complete them will benefit everyone as people like us get paid for lending a few minutes of our time and the company gets its cheap easy research so they can improve the product to make it more desirable – therefore boosting sales and revenue.
There is definitely money to be made by taking on paid surveys; you can do this full or part time to suit yourself. The main beneficial concept would be that you work as much as you want because you are your own boss and you have the capability to earn as much or as little as you want to.
Paid surveys aren't for everyone however, some people find them boring and mundane but in a way they can be exciting and interesting for some people as your involved in new products and get to put your opinion to use and make a difference. On some you will actually get a product to test physically before it's even introduced to the public and then simply give initial comments on it so that can be quite cool.
When taking these surveys you're not discriminated in any way as everyone's opinion counts. It doesn't matter on your experience or education; you're a consumer so you're eligible to take part. The hardest thing to do with this method of money making is to find the legit companies out their, they can be found by looking at user reviews and usually if someone gets scammed they will report and comment so you know to stay away from them. There is also a comprehensive database full of legitimate paid survey companies available so if you have the motivation to find it, it shows that you will be successful in this money making chance of a lifetime. Failing that you can just ask around as someone you know may have the database or maybe you already know people in the paid survey industry.
You can read up on articles about the scamming companies and what to look out for, having a quick five minute read can save you loads of time and money so its well worth doing before you start – you'll thank us later.

Online Surveys: Cheap, Easy, Flexible Work

So are you looking for work? Do you want work that is cheap, easy, and about as flexible as it comes? Well take my advice right now and stop reading this so that you can go check out the wonderful income opportunities that are found quickly doing online surveys. If you are still reading this you obviously need more convincing and so that is what I will attempt to do in the next several paragraphs. That is tell you exactly what I mean by the words cheap, easy, and flexible.

Cheap

When I say cheap I am talking mainly about costs that aren’t necessarily considered when choosing a job but are always a part of the job that can make or break its worth in terms of financial stability. The costs that I am talking about have to do with risk to the employee, time spent dealing with personalities rather than getting work done, startup costs for equipment, travel costs, clothing costs, time spent working that you are not getting paid for and on and on. Online surveys with respect to all of these things is about as cheap a job as you can find. There is virtually no risk to you—there will always be surveys to do online (at least I don’t see the internet going away very soon) and you will never be fired (after all you have an opinion and that is all you have to have). There is little startup cost (a computer and the internet, which if you are really hurting at first you can use for free at most libraries). No travel costs and the work is very portable. And sweatpants are pretty cheap aren’t they?

Easy

All you need is an opinion when you do online surveys for pay. That is about as easy as it gets right because opinions can’t be graded or evaluated and they can’t be wrong. You just need to think about how you feel about different things and that is not hard for most people. The other part is that you need to be able to read and right which you have already proven capable of by getting this far in this stupid article.

Flexible

Already touched on this but let me expand. If you are awake you can go to work (only when you have to or feel like it). You can work 20 hrs two days per week if you want and have worked full time. You can work from your home or in sunny Cancun if that’s where you prefer to do online surveys. You might say well I would never be able to pull that off, but you would be surprised that you can make a great living as you get more efficient with your work. You can also use it to supplement other jobs or do it while you are going to school. Basically this is work that is there when you want it to be and never is a drag on your plans.

Paid Surveys Online, Make Money By Working At Home!

What would you do with……

• An extra $200each month? Pay a bill?
• An extra $500 each month? Pay cash (instead of credit!) for things you have been wanting?
• $ 1,000??? Now you can dream a little here……

This kind of extra “fun money” is definitely within your reach!

You can make these amounts each and every month right where you are sitting now, in your own home. All that is required is to fill out simple, quick, Paid Online Surveys.

• $10 and $95 per online survey! (Up to $95 /hr. !)
• $25 to $75 per hour to shop, eat, or see a movie !
• $10 to $35 per hour just to drive your car!

The obvious question is ….Why would some company pay me to do these things????

- It costs companies a small fortune to develop, launch, and advertise new products! If they hire people (employees) to test the products or try them out, the results are not always reliable and unbiased.

- Gathering YOUR valued opinions and paying you, even at the rates above, are just what these companies want. They can reach many different types (all ages, sexes, etc.) of consumers faster. For them it is all about direct access.

Is there a catch?

NO! These are legitimate businesses that need to know what you honestly think about their product before they go into large scale production and distribution. They need consumers opinions in order to make informed marketing and advertising decisions They are more than happy to pay for this service.

There is no free lunch! You will have to work, but how hard is completely up to you. Most surveys take 20 minutes, some a little longer, but they pay you for it too.

A few tips as you continue on….

• You could get your name enlisted in as many companies as possible. This will take some research in order to find the best ones with decent paying surveys. There are many to sift through, we did the same thing.

• Or you can make your life easier and look to an organization that has a database of 250 to 450 companies in their network that offer paid online surveys.

Paid Surveys – Why You Shouldn’t Pay Anything To Do Surveys For Money?

You have probably discovered by now some sites that offer you the opportunity to earn money by doing paid surveys online. These sites claim you can make significant monthly income and can provide you with a list of market research sites you must join in order to receive surveys and get paid. The only catch is that you must pay some fee (usually 20$ to 30$) in order to lay your hands on their list of “proven” market research companies.

Creating a database of survey sites does take a lot of work, effort and time and it may sound reasonable to set up a price for it and many people agree with this. If you do appreciate this work and wish to buy this list, feel free to do so but at least read this article to know what you should seek on such sites and how to determine if you are on a legitimate site, or not. Use your own judgement. I, for myself, prefer free opportunities.

According to some online resources relating paid surveys, no respectful company would ever ask for any sign-up fee for granting you the opportunity to work for them. Such a company would have no need to conceal their address and telephone number on their website.

As you can see, legitimate membership survey sites should be free and should not conceal their street address and telephone number on their websites. Since most of these sites are not free, they should have a correct contact information and state on their websites or in their terms the requirements for participation and the real possibilities of making money. They should also have a refund policy in case you don’t earn anything and honor it. You’d be surprised as how many refunds are not honored.

That is why you should do a research on your own about a site you wish to purchase a list from. Try to find everything you can about positive and negative experiences and then decide what will be the best thing to do. Especially check if they honor their refund policies. There are a lot of scams out there.

In my opinion I don’t believe you should pay anything to access these lists and here is why. Although it is possible to earn a lot of money and cover your investment “fee”, it is also possible never to earn any money. Why is that?

Paid surveys are not for anyone. They are conducted by a market research companies on behalf of some large company seeking to improve sales and willing to invest certain sum of money in the market research. Since they are spending quite large amounts of money, they can’t afford to waste it, so they will target their research to population which brings them most profit. So if you do not live in the USA, Canada, UK, Australia, or some other developed country, you’ll probably never make any money from surveys. Even survey companies that claim to be available worldwide are very often restricted to some countries.

Besides your demographic location on most survey sites you have to fill in your profile based on your age, interests, education, income, etc. The number of surveys you will get will mostly depend on your profile. If your profile fits the required target population you’ll get more surveys and more chances to earn money. It is also possible that your profile will not fit in and you’ll rarely have an opportunity to complete paid surveys.

There are also other reasons why you shouldn’t pay anything to access market research companies:

You will be paying for something you can easily have for FREE! These membership sites are only selling information anyone can get. Sites that conduct market research are not hidden. They need as many possible members as they can find, so they will not ask for any fee. You can join all of them and never pay a dime.

Many market research companies have affiliate programs to help them recruit new members. Therefore if someone introduces you to a survey site, he/she will get paid for it and there is no real justification in asking for any more money from you.

These sites usually don’t have a refund policy, so if you don’t earn anything with surveys, you won’t be able to ask for a refund. It is more likely that they have a refund policy, but do not honor it. This is typical for scam sites and that is why it’s very important to do some researching first.

There are a lot of free lists of survey sites you can join and earn money if you qualify. You can test them out and see if they work for you or not and you won’t have to pay anything. Check below for a free list of paid surveys.

You probably won’t earn enough to quit your daily job with paid surveys, but they can help you get some extra money. And remember - you don't have to pay anything to access these sites.

The basics of paid surveys

Why do companies conduct surveys? To top it, why do companies pay for participating in a survey? This small write-up will help you understand the basics of survey and the paid form of surveys.

Survey is nothing but data or information collection. This information is processed to arrive at a useful conclusion. This useful conclusion may be in the form of new product or better customer service or larger distribution network. All of this is done to enhance customer satisfaction about a product. Surveys are essentially statistical in nature. The non-statistical approach to people's opinion is termed focus group interviews. Focus group interviews hover around qualitative aspects of people's opinion about a product. Surveys are conducted over a large number of people against very few in case of focus group interviews.
Person participating in a survey is called respondent. Questions are asked her regarding her perception about a product. Surveys try to understand overall perception of the population based on the responses of the people surveyed. The group of people surveyed is called sample.

The findings from the sample are treated to be as though these have come from the whole population. For example, survey about new features in a car will have only couple of thousands of respondents across the country. However, the aggregate response from these couple of thousand of people will be treated as if it had come from the whole car owners’ population in the country.

Surveys are conducted in various ways - paper, email, snail mail, telephone and online. While each has its own set of pro's and con's, paper surveys have been most popular in the past. With so many surveys being conducted by as many companies, participants have started losing interest and involvement in the process. This has offered the impetus to online surveys where people can fill the questionnaire in their leisure time, and can even think of skipping some. There is no obligation and necessity to complete the surveys. The large number of surveys has discouraged people from participating in surveys. This reason alone has resulted into offering incentives to people to participate in surveys. This is where the story of paid surveys start. paid surveys are voluntary in nature - you need not take part in each and every survey. If you qualify, you are paid for taking part. This is a win-win situation for all the three - participant, research agency and the company for whom survey is being conducted.

The truth about paid surveys

You may have been enticed in many of the emails for taking part in surveys. Surveys are conducted for collecting your precious opinion about a product or a company or a brand. Opinions of many people when analyzed create an understanding about that product or brand or company. Online paid surveys is a recent introduction to the art and science of surveys. Surveys have existed for almost 100 years in its scientific form as it exists today. Paid forms of survey has become popular because of two major reasons - people get bugged with traditional paper pencil survey at home and secondly, participating in an online survey is easy and non interfering.

Companies pay for participating in a survey - this is to increase the number of people taking part in the survey, who otherwise may skip to avoid. You are compensated in a paid survey in different ways by various survey conducting agencies - you may be paid cash (or check), through Paypal. Some agencies don't pay cash, but offer you points. These points can be converted into gifts or certificates. There are various levels of gifts and certificates against the number of points accumulated by the survey participant.

The money that can be made by you by participating is a survey can never be enough to run your family. Don't be misguided by this reality of life. While theoretically it is not impossible, data suggests that you can just about make enough money to make those extra payments or buy that extra something in your life.

The number of surveys that can be taken by you in a month or year depends on your demographic, geographic and psychographics profile. You should fit into the qualifying criteria definition of the participants for a particular survey. While the agency may have one survey running per day, you certainly will not fir into all of them. This restricts you to not more than 5-10 surveys per month.

There are few things to be kept in mind while trying to get into the world of paid survey participation. Don't ever pay a single dollar for participating in a survey. No research agency will charge you a cent for participating. Better is to research the web for the sites for paid surveys, get yourself registered with the information and expect the surveys to be sent to you over a period of time.

Paid Surveys And Reviews: Are They A Legitimate Way To Make Money Online?

We’ve all seen the offers before.  Whether it’s in a mass e-mail or a pop-up ad, it seems like everyone is offering “$10 for a Quick Five Minute Survey!”  Because many of these offers seem too good to be true, most people are extremely skeptical of whether these offers are legitimate or just another type of scam.  From my personal experience, paid surveys and reviews are like most things in life.  There are plenty of legitimate opportunities to make some extra money, but there are also opportunities for you to get scammed and ripped off.  By taking the time to educate yourself about how to distinguish a legitimate surveys and reviews from scams, you can ensure that you reap the benefits of these offers without being exploited by the dishonest ones.

Because of the upfront cost, people seem to be most suspicious of paid survey web sites that require a fee to join.  Ironically enough, not only are some of these web sites the most reliable, but many of them also offer the largest amount of surveys.  The reason these web sites require an upfront fee is to cover costs such as customer service and database maintenance.  In addition to paid surveys and mystery shopper programs, many of these membership web sites also offer links to data entry jobs, instant cash bonuses and opportunities to get paid to surf around the internet.

So what is the easiest way to find web sites that won’t rip off?  From my personal experience, a little research will go a long way.  Once you find an offer or web site that you think is interesting, use the power of the internet to find out more about it.  By typing the name of the offer or web site into Google, you should be able to find quite a few reviews from actual people.  Based on these reviews, you can determine whether the offer or web site is actually legitimate.  If you are unable to find any information at all, you should probably steer clear of that paid survey opportunity.

Paid Online Surveys

Paid online surveys have recently become very popular among home based business opportunities. This is a common and often a preferred way for entrepreneurs to earn extra money without the hassle of leaving their home.

How to find Paid Online Surveys

You can find paid online surveys by searching the internet. There are many companies that held surveys for their clients and that would pay good money for your opinion. A good starting point for your research would be some forums discussing the topic. You will see which online paid surveys are good, which ones to avoid, which bring more money etc.

What to look for in paid online surveys provider?

After you have found paid online surveys provider check carefully the terms and conditions before applying or committing to something. Be prepared that some web sites will ask you for an application fee in order to add you to their database. While this fee is usually minor, do not just go and pay it. Believe it or not even the best looking web site can turn to be a fraud. You can end up paying the application fee and never start receiving surveys.

You should also check the rest of the conditions. What is the average payment per survey - it can vary from $10 to $100 so you better know in advance. How many surveys will you receive per week or per month. How the money will be transferred to you - the company conducting the survey can send you a check or the money can be transferred by Pay Pal or through a bank transfer. Regardless the specific method always make sure of the procedure and check if it suitable for you. Are there any fees (like percentage of your earnings) that the web site is charging? Some agencies charge a membership fee, other earn from the company who requests the survey, third earn by their members. You should be fully aware of the payment conditions to avoid disappointment. Be very careful of disclosing your personal details. You should have no problems if you are dealing with a legitimate survey company. However there are a lot of fake “marketing agencies” that will offer you paid online surveys just to get hold of the personal details of as many people as possible. They may sell them to other companies and you may end up receiving thousands of unsolicited mail or SPAM. So first, make sure you are dealing with a serious and legitimate company and task questions regarding privacy. Only after you are confident and satisfied with the answers go ahead and apply.

These are the basics of paid online surveys. You may want to try it yourself. Most online surveys will take you about 30 minutes to complete and you can do it in your spare time or on your coffee break. The more money you earn the more time you will suddenly want to spend.
