Paid survey websites have really grown in popularity. There are more sites being launched as you read this. Each of them swear they have the best paying survey program. Not every site can be the best paying site, and you will need to do a bit of homework on these sites before you decide to sign up with them.
If you choose the right programs you can definitely make some cash. There is not one business type, online or off, that doesn’t have a few bad apples among them. When you approach any business that you are thinking about becoming involved with, make sure you check them out before you join. If it sounds like a scam, it just may be. As I said before you will need to do a bit of homework or research on these sites.
You already know that you will not get rich by joining a few sites that pay for your opinions. You may make a bit of money and that is fine. By utilizing the suggestions in this book, you should be able to make a living working on your computer. By now you know that you will need a realistic attitude when working with these sites and will not expect to become a millionaire in any case.
You are the one who will need to choose which sites you want to work for and that will control how much you will make taking surveys or participating in other money making sites that have been discussed in this book. The proof is always in the reality, only you will be able to tell if a certain website is right for you. Fantastic claims of making millions should not be able to sway your opinion, now that you know the truth.
All you need to do is check everything out and not accept anything that you don’t feel comfortable with. If a site wants you to pay a lot of fees, you should know they are not going to be a very good choice. Some of these sites do ask you to upgrade to a higher level of surveys for a fee. I would not do this right away. Try all of the free sites before you pay for anything. You will most probably find that you will not need to pay anyone a thing to make money with paid surveys.
There are definitely those paid survey sites that are not up to par with the others. Some things to look for in a disreputable site are:
• Resources and directories that are outdated.
• Links that are broken, and pages that are no longer available.
• A site that is difficult to navigate.
• Have no customer service or help for their members.
• Do not offer a refund on paid subscriptions, if you are not satisfied.
Many of these sites will charge anywhere from $85 to $125 to register. Do not fall into this scheme. Make sure the site is what you consider a good income provider, at a no or low cost level (Follow our suggestion, just join only our 5 stars rated program: PaidSurveysOnline)
Even if they are closed down for fraudulent behavior, the scammers will simply open another site with new information, and start over again. We all would like to believe that the world is fair and would treat us the way we would treat others, in a straightforward manor and with honesty and integrity. Unfortunately that isn’t always the case.

What to do After You Have Signed on With Paid Sites
Make sure you bookmark all sites that require a members login. It is wise to record all of the sites you belong to as it can get quite confusing otherwise. You will also want to check your accounts on each site at least one or more times a week. You may not get paid from some sites unless you log in and tell them you want to cash out. Get familiar with each site and take note of how you are paid from each. If they pay in points, you should see what your points can be exchanged for and what amount you will need in your account before you can cash out.
Some sites will feature daily awards for members. These rewards may be small, but they are something and do add up over time. You will want to keep track of these and visit these sites for at least a few minutes every day. This can only add to your income.

Other Ways to Earn Money Taking Paid Surveys
Another way to make money with paid surveys is to get involved with offers and surveys that promote specific products or services. These are called “Get Paid To” or GPT sites. GPT sites feature market research and offers for products and services. This will make your income go up as much as $1,000 a month. If you take advantage of multiple sites and sign up for offers.
However, these sire may require you to use your credit card for some of the offers. There are times when you are asked to buy something to get paid. You will need to keep track of the products or services you have signed up for, and make sure you cancel any free trials you do not want to keep when the trial period is over. You really need to keep track of when you signed up for these free trials so that you will not end up paying for something you do not want.
Be aware that by visiting and using these sites you will get marketing phone calls, mail, and, email. If you shop online these sites can save you a good deal of money and supplement your income as well. There are ways for you to cut some of the privacy factors as well.
The decision on which way you wish to make money online is up to you. Try the different types of making money to see which ones you prefer. All paid for survey, and GPT sites are free to join, so you have nothing to lose by trying them. I have never paid for a list so I don’t know if they have a different list than the free lists. That would be a personal choice too, but I would try all of the free lists before I thought about paying for a list. Have patience, nothing good ever happened overnight.

The Difference Between Focus Groups and Paid Surveys
A paid survey is usually short, very few of them will take you over 15 minutes to complete and you will participate online. You will be invited by email to take the survey, fill it out and get rewarded. A focus group is a bit different as they are usually conducted over the phone or at a physical location. A focus group will usually pay a good deal more and it is usually disbursed in cash.
When you are asked to test a product, the product is sent to you to use for a certain amount of time. When that time is up, you will fill out a form that comes in the mail, is available online, or you will be asked to write a review on the product. Compensation for this type of survey is usually the product, but there are times when you will also make a nominal fee for participation.

Make a Living Taking Paid Surveys
This is the question: can I make a living taking paid surveys?
There are many factors involved but the bottom line is: If you are signed up with only one or two paid survey companies, you will never make enough money to quit your regular JOB. For each site that you are signed up with, you will be offered anywhere from 1 to 4 surveys each month. On the average, each completed survey will pay you between $1 and $4 each.
Let’s go with $3 per survey. You have signed up with 10 survey sites, and each one sends you 3 surveys a month, you will of course make $90 during that month. On the other hand, if you signed up with 100 sites, and each one sends you 3 surveys each month, you will make $900 that month. You can also make cash by surfing the internet and reading emails. Some of the paid survey sites offer these opportunities as well.

How Much Money Can I Make With This online job?
There are sites out there that will tell you that you will make thousands per every month participating in online surveys. Remember that this is not a get rich proposition, nor is it an executive position. While it is possible to make an extra amount of money each month to help out, anything above that will take hard work, diligence, and longer hours than you may want to put in if you are a stay at home mom.
When you are participating in online paid surveys, a lot will hinge upon your personal profile. Where you live, your age, and even your interest preferences. It will also depend upon whether the companies needing information are interested in hearing from you according to your profile. When you fill out your profile, make sure you check everything you are even remotely interested in or know anything at all about. You will be unable to alter your gender, age, and location, and they are also factors in which surveys you will be eligible for.
My advice is to sign up for every survey site you possibly can. The more you are affiliated with, the better your chances are of being eligible for more surveys. Remember, as I said before, make sure you set up a separate email account for your paid surveys, otherwise you will find yourself in a world of confusion. Also keep in mind that focus groups will pay you much more for your opinions than regular surveys so sign up for those too.
You should also realize that it will take a bit of time for these companies to get to know if you will be a dependable survey participant, so if you don’t get as many surveys as you expected, hang in there and over time you will build up a reputation for being reliable. You will have some months when you will make a little and other months where you will make much more. It all depends on the surveys available to you at the time.
I’m sure you noticed that many of the survey sites offer a chance to win cash and prizes instead of giving you cash per survey. It is up to you whether you want to participate in these surveys. I would say when you are starting out, sign up for all of them. Later on, if you feel you are too swamped with this type of survey, you can choose to drop some of them.

PAID SURVEY ONLINE: Frequently Asked Questions
First of all, We assure you this is a legitimate employment offer.
Then, let's answer some question about our top rated Paid Surveys Online program:
How do I know this is not some SCAM? How do I know this is a legitimate employment offer?
We have been in business for two and a half years and going stronger than ever! In fact, there are many, many, more surveys and survey offers available today then when we first opened our business. The need for survey takers keeps rising and we need to fill the employment opportunities. If this was not a legitimate employment offer we would have been out of business long ago.
Can I trust these companies with my personal information and email address? I don't want to receive Spam after I sign up!
All the companies on our list have strict privacy polices. The only persons with access to your information will be the survey companies themselves. They are not allowed to share your information with anyone. This also means they can not sell or share your email address with any third party. You do not have to worry about getting Spam mail just because you sign up to take surveys.
I really love the free bonuses. How will I receive them? Do I need to do anything special?
All our free bonuses are available in our members area. You just log in after registration and redeem the free bonuses. You can log in anytime as many times as you wish and redeem the free bonuses.
How am I paid and how often? Am I sent a check by postal mail?
The company you will be doing the survey for will pay you by company check sent by postal mail. Some companies will allow you to be paid by Paypal online. Paypal is a online payment center which you can us only if you choose. NO, you do not have to accept PayPal for paychecks. You can specify you only want payment sent postal mail by company check. Most paychecks are sent twice monthly .. some will pay once a month.
Can I really get paid just for taking surveys online?
Yes, this is very real way to make money online in the comfort of your own home. There are over 7 million companies that actively survey consumers to find the best way to promote their products. These companies are willing to pay you to give your opinion. Your opinion allows them to get in touch with consumers and their views, habits, and opinions. These companies are willing to pay you for your time!
What is the difference between a survey and a focus group? Can I participate in both?
A survey is normally a page or two of questions. Surveys can range from 10 to 30 questions. They are normally short and take little time to fill out. Focus groups on the other hand are normally longer forms that can sometimes follow you for a few days about a particular subject. They might ask you a series of questions, receive your response and then ask you another series of questions. Because of this they pay much more. You can participate in surveys, focus groups or both depending on the time you have available.
Does it matter where I live? Are the surveys open to everyone - even world wide?
Most paid survey opportunities require that you are at least 18 years of age, but other than that there are no specific requirements. Some companies will only accept survey takers in the USA, but most are looking for Survey takers from all over the world. Because of this, we have listed which companies are US only and which are International. This makes it easy to know which to apply to depending on where you live. We are the only company we know of that lists this information. We care about our customers and don't want you to waste your time. Time is money!
Can I participate in the same surveys as others? Are there enough surveys to go around? Will surveys ever "run out"?
Yes, hundreds of people can, and will take the same survey. There are hundreds if not thousands of surveys available every day. Most surveys will require a very large amount of participates so there are always plenty of surveys to go around.
Can I do this from any computer? Do I need to download anything?
There is nothing to download. You do not need any special computer or operating system. You simply log in and find surveys. This can be done from any computer, at any time.
How many surveys can I take? How much income can I earn?
The amount of surveys taken, and income earned will depend on how much time and effort you put into the surveys. Average monthly income will depend on each individual, and their effort put forth. A person who checks their email often and responds to surveys invitations quickly, or logs into the members area to see what new surveys are available often will obviously make more than someone who only logs in one a week. Income is solely dependent on an individual’s effort and attention to survey offers.
How do I know the companies will really pay me? What guarantee do I have that I will be paid?
All the companies on our list have been thoroughly researched. If a company was to not pay a survey taker we would be the first to know. Any company that would do that would be quickly removed from our list. In the many years we have been offering surveys we have never heard of a company that did not pay a survey or focus group participate. The companies we list are very reputable marketing companies that have a high standard of business.

Who Wants to Find the Best Paid Survey Sites?
The paid survey sites that you consider to be the best, may not be the best site for someone
else. This will depend a great deal on the profile you filled out for the survey site, and the type of surveys they are taking. A survey on cell phones will not be sent to you if you have not indicated you own one on your profile. Age and gender will be a factor in the surveys that are sent to you too. You wouldn’t ask a man to do a survey on a new bra concept, just as you wouldn’t send a survey about jock straps to a woman. I think you get the idea.
You will need to be honest when dealing with paid survey companies. If you are found out, you will be kicked off the site, and this will cut down on your income from paid surveys. Besides, it is better to stick with things you know a bit about, or it will be obvious when taking the surveys. You will see what I mean once you start taking surveys. Only sign up once for a paid survey site. Having more than one account will be reason for dismissal from the site.
If you follow the tip on signing up for as many survey sites as possible this will give you more opportunities because:
1. The chances will be greater that you will find the top paid survey sites that will be compatible with your profile.
2. Until it becomes apparent which paid survey sites will be most lucrative for you, you will still be making money with the other paid surveys that you have signed up for. Depending on your profile, the paid survey companies may only send you one or two surveys a month. That is why it is important to sign up with as many paid survey sites as you can to begin with.
You should look at the directories first. This will save time because you won’t need to look them all up separately. If you do not find enough in the free directories, you may want to do a search for paid survey sites. You can also purchase a paid membership to survey directories.
Just keep signing up for different surveys and you will begin to make money. Be as diligent with filling out these surveys as you would with a JOB. Even though some of these companies don’t pay as much as others, that can change at any time.

Paid Surveys Online is the best original survey sites that went up when paid surveys first began gaining popularity.

Why should You choose them over another site?
Personally, I've used Paid Surveys Online to help me earn a tad over $700 per month from paid surveys. No, it didn't get me rich by any means, but it does give me extra money to help pay for unexpected bills and cover any "surprise" expenses. Also, I've tried out the other two sites, but nothing can compare to Paid Surveys Online
Why Paid Surveys Online is so great?
There is a reason why a site can stay on top for so long, which means plenty of reasons why Paid Surveys Online remains the greatest paid survey site out there. Some of them are:

You'll get access to websites that will show you other ways of earning income, such as getting paid to read e-mail, eat, shop, drive, and more. These are websites of actual companies, so you can get started immediately.
Like I've said before, there is a reason why Paid Surveys Online is a leader in its class. Stop procrastinating and learn how this site can help make the difference between being strapped for cash and actually having a few extra dollars on hand.

List of Types of Paid Surveys to get paid
Statistical Surveys:
These surveys are used to collect information about the population. These surveys are used to measure political polls, for governmental use, health, social activities, and marketing research. The surveys will focus on facts or opinions, depending on the type of the information the company or institution is looking for.
The questions on this type of survey are standard and structured. Questions are offered in an order that will not influence a response to questions that came after. They are standardized so that the questions remain general and reliable. Every person receiving the survey will receive the exact same questions.
Serial Surveys:
These surveys repeat the same questions at different times to track changes in opinion. There are two types of serial surveys. Cross– Sectional Surveys are given to a variety of different people at the same time, and Longitudinal Surveys are given to the same person at different intervals of time.
Delivering Surveys to the Public:
Telephone Surveys– Are a popular way to get public opinion and are low in cost. This type of survey is limited in capacity because the responder is not able to view, smell, or touch the product. An oral representation of the survey is represented.
Mail Surveys– The survey is mailed to the respondent and are returned in the same manner. When bought in bulk, postage is usually quite reasonable, making this type of delivery cost effective. The biggest drawback to this type of survey delivery is the long wait to receive all of the responses, sometimes several months.
Online Surveys– Web surveys are sometimes preferred over email because the response rate is instantly available. Online surveys can be lower in cost to the company, and more convenient for the person filling them out because they are automated.
In-Home Surveys– People are interviewed at their door or in their home. These surveys are very high in cost and the company will get about a 40 to 50% response.
Man-on-the Street Surveys– Surveys taken by those encountered outdoors. Many times a booth is set up with an interviewer. The questions can be asked orally, or the respondent may be asked to fill out a written survey.

CAN YOU BE PAID FOR YOUR OPINION?
As a consumer, your opinion is important to companies before they introduce a new product or service to the market. Paying to have a consumer fill out surveys is a much more cost effective way to perform research, as the company cannot afford to introduce a new product or service that nobody will buy.
It is well worth it for a company to pay a consumer to fill out a survey, participate in an online focus group, or pay to watch a new movie trailer and give their opinion. This way they will get consumer opinions, good or bad, before they put any money into production.
