Are Online Paid Surveys a Waste of Time? A Review from a Regular Earner of Online Paid Surveys
By Tom Sullivan

Online Paid Surveys. A hugely popular way to work from home and earn money online.

The Quickest and simplest way to start earning big amounts for completing online surveys is to become a member of one of the more popular survey companies like Paid Surveys Online or Survey Scout. These sites will give you a comprehensive list of hundred's of the biggest survey companies out there and you can join as many or as few as you wish. You can obviously not pay to become a member of these companies and hunt down the individual survey sites yourself and join up for free, but this process will take a very long time and you won't know which surveys you are completing are legitimate, as in 'will you get paid'. Be wary with some 'Free Paid Survey Companies' as they will probably spam you or are just out to get referral commissions. Those paid survey services are no good because they may sell your email and you would be inundated with Spam. By joining Survey Scout or Paid Surveys Online, you know that these companies have been vetted and therefore no risk of this.

Now obviously, the more survey companies you join, the more money that you can earn. You can earn up to $150 a survey. That's right! Very big money for completing an online paid survey. Be aware though, that you will not receive the big surveys straight away. They like to see that people who request paid surveys are legitimate and reliable and will start off by sending you a few small ones. Once you complete these and they see that you are a trustworthy sort, then the big ones will start arriving. Online Paid Surveys are a very interesting and a very easy job. Anyone that has access to the internet and emails can do surveys online and get paid and all you have to do is decide when to complete the online paid surveys and which surveys you want to do yourself.

Online Paid Surveys are a fantastic way to earn online but don't expect to earn loads immediately. The survey companies want to see if you are loyal and once you have completed a few small ones, you will be sent bigger surveys to complete with bigger paychecks. If you are looking for some supplemental income and enjoy giving your opinion, then they are an excellent source of income and fun. The popular Paid Surveys Online & Survey Scout are excellent as they have all the legitimate online survey sites all in one place, (which saves you hunting them all down and not getting paid by some of the more 'dodgy' survey sites out there), plus they have a mass of hints, tips & info. Check them out now and get your opinion out there.

If you are seriously considering starting a home based business I encourage you to take a look at one of these companies and evaluate whether they are right for you. I think you will be pleasantly suprised at how easy it is to pick up some extra cash for such a small amount of time.

Here's a tip: Visit as many of the sites as you can "paid or free" by clicking on all of the links I have posted in this blog, and see what type of service they provide: for instance, do there surveys pay in cash, gift certificates, or both; then decide which one you want to spend your time on.

Is The Online Survey Business For Stay at Home Moms?

Here's one for those faithful stay at home moms; owning an online business can be difficult, but if a person is dedicated it can be very beneficial. Even though these businesses are not an easy task, they can still provide stay at home moms enough time with their children.

The online survey business is a perfect match for moms to earn some extra money with whatever spare time they might have. Completing online surveys gives mothers total freedom. Because surveys are taken only when one agrees to take them, they are perfect for moms that have children needing constant care.

The amount of money earned from surveys depends on how many surveys a person is willing to answer as well as how many they qualify for. A mom can easily earn from $25 to $600 a month or more from answering online surveys and participating in focus groups.

The key is finding the right survey company that will provide a good supply of legitemate surveys that will pay out in cash instead of just gift certificates or discounts. Here is a site that will enable you to search through a great many reliable survey companies:

Online Survey Sites

Have you started visiting any of the online survey sites yet? If so I would like to hear about your experience. There are some great sites that provide lots of information tools and opportunity for the person looking to make some extra cash and there are some incredible rip-offs. You can find a large variety of the free as well as fee based services on this blog as well as through the search engines but beware because the above comment about rip-off sites that will literally spam you and give you no value for your time or money applies to both types of sites. Let me here from you.

Online Survey

I visited several of the free paid survey sites a few days ago and boy was that a mistake! Now I,m sure all of the free sites are not the same but all I got was free access to a database of survey sites and just as I thought no real guidance on how to make the most of my search for paid surveys. I also got into this endless loop with one of the surveys thay was supposed to pay $10.00 for rating a particular beverage. I never did make it to the heart of the survey as I kept getting redirected to other product offers so I just gave up after about 10 minutes with no progress. After I exited out of the survey I began to get all of this spam email from all kinds of companies. Good lesson!

Online Survey - Paid or Free?

Online Survey - Paid or Free?

Let me begin this article by saying it is possible to complete an online survey and get paid for your opinion. It is a fact that thousands of work from home entrepreneurs are getting paid big time for completing surveys, participating in focus groups, and even to preview movie trailers!

Why would companies pay you for giving your opinion? Because they need your opinion as part of their market research to determine which products to sell and to what markets. It also helps them to improve their products to existing markets in order to improve their profit margin.

Now believe you me, the companies that pay you to complete an online survey are already making money, they just understand that doing a survey to find out what people like or dislike can make them even more profitable.

Here is where you and I come in; we fill out the online survey and get paid, we're happy and the company providing the survey gets the information they need. Win-Win! Don't you love it! (Especially the we get paid part)

The question now is how do I access these surveys and begin to make money? In order to receive offers to do an online survey or to participate in an online focus group you must be signed up and have a profile with each company. If you fit the right profile you will receive offers from them in your email.

There are hundreds of companies available but how do you find them, and how can you be sure you are not wasting your time? You must sign up with a service that will provide you with access to these companies or you will be spinning your wheels. You have 2 basic alternatives:

1. Free Online Paid Survey Websites

There are plenty of these sites available on the web that can be located by doing a google search. The problem with many of these sites is that they provide you with access to a database of companies that may or may not be updated. Furthermore they usually come with little or no support and guidance on how to maximize your profitability; after all you get what you pay for.

2. Online Survey Websites (fee based)

These sites charge a fee to access their compiled database of online survey companies. This is usually a one time fee of 30-35 dollars that covers access to a compiled and updated database, tips and or tutorials on how to turn your online survey venture into a profitable home business, and bonuses that are usually worth more than the access fee!

One of the top sites I have found providing this service can be found here at the below address:

http://www.singlesource4ebooks.com/online-survey.htm

They even provide you with an instant $25.00 survey upon joining their site just to get you started! I highly recommend you take a look at what they have to offer.

So there you have it, one mans opinion. Now you can do your own due diligence and check out which method will best benefit you most. One thing is for sure; online surveys can be a profitable home business that will provide a very nice part time or full time income. Here's to our success.

Online Survey - Paid or Free?

There seems to be a lot of controversy over whether access to the database and information for an online survey should have a fee associated with it or not. I have been visiting the forums today and found quite a bit of conversation around the topic. The question was not if doing an online survey and getting paid for it was a legitimate business; rather what is the best way to gain access to the information. Which method will help the average person to become profitable and make it worth their while? I will post an article within the next day or so entitled Online Survey - Paid or Free to give my thoughts on the subject.
