To Discover How To Make Easy Money Taking Paid Surveys Without Getting Scammed
Dear Friend,
If you’re reading this, you’re probably looking for a way to generate some extra cash.
I get paid - typically $5 to $75 - each time I complete an online survey. And, I
do it over and over again, many times a day.
So can you.
Lots of folks make hundreds - even thousands - of dollars each month completing paid surveys in their spare time. And
some use it as their primary source of income.
But, here’s the problem . . . .
‘Tho I’ve been completing paid surveys for just over two years, over the past 3 weeks I found 516 paid survey sites
available on the internet.
I know. I counted them. And, I probably didn’t find them all.
That’s why I put this review together.
Question:
How can you tell which one is a scam and which is the real deal?
The bad news is that Scam sites outnumber Legitimate sites by at least
20 to 1.
The good news is that, while you won’t make a million dollars in your spare time, you can make a
nice supplemental income from the Legitimate paid survey sites.
Look, as simple as this may be, I want you to understand: I don't earn $150 per hour every hour
of every day, and you won't either. I'm not going to tell you that you can make $50,000 a month,
because most people who do this just don't make that kind of money.
But when you can make $150 per hour just some of the time,
you don't need to work very much. Do you?
I use these programs to make my living, so I know what I'm talking about - simple and easy
ways to make your living from the comfort of your own home. While I may do it full-time, that's
not everyone's goal; some people do these programs just to make an extra $300 - $500 every
month (enough to make a car or boat payment!).
Others, like me, choose to do this full-time as their primary income. For those of us who
choose this route, it is a sweet way to live. I get up each morning, go to the gym for a workout,
walk my two dogs a couple of miles and read the paper. After my workout,
walk and breakfast, I go to work taking surveys. I enjoy taking these surveys. They’re fun and they
pay well, so I've finally found something that pays me to do what I love doing.
This is one of the most honest, enjoyable, simple, and easiest ways to make money I know of.
And, it doesn't take any kind of sophisticated computer knowledge.
Selecting a paid survey
site...
First, here's what NOT to do:
Monthly Membership Sites
Some so-called membership survey sites charge recurring monthly fees every month to stay on as their
member. Avoid these like the plague. This isn’t necessary.
Typically very few new opportunities or updates are added each month.
Free to Join Sites
You’ll find that there are a whole lot of ‘free to join’ paid survey sites advertised on the ‘net.
My experience is that most of them are simply scams that offer no real paid surveys. They just want
to collect your email address so they can
fill your email with spam
(I know - I've deleted thousands of 'free survey' spam emails). If you find one of the few good ones
go ahead and join it. You’ll most likely get 3 to 5 surveys a month paying $5 to $10
each. But hey, as they’re free to join, you really don’t have much risk.
Just be aware that they’re not a substitute for the professional membership sites. The sites listed
below actually have dedicated staff to continuously source for and update new paid survey opportunities
as they emerge on the web.
Here are
my 3 most profitable paid survey sites. . .
Survey Absolute has become my personal
"hands-down" favorite.
If you're new to online paid surveys, then
Survey Absolute
is one of the best places for you to get started making money easily and quickly. They'll show you how to earn
over $200 cash the day you join.
The members section offers over 500 resources willing to pay you to give
your opinion about various products or services. They have what I think is a real cool standing offer. If you
become a member and give them the name of any legitimate paid survey site that they don't already have,
they'll immediately pay you $10! To me, that says a bunch about the completeness of their lists.
The
Survey Absolute
user interface is friendly and easy to understand with many categories to choose from including:
online paid surveys, focus groups, sample new products, phone surveys, movie trailers previews, get paid to
shop, get paid to eat, get paid to drive and their database is updated daily.
It doesn't matter who you are or where you live - in the U.S. or other countries - you can definitely make money
with Survey Absolute by giving
your opinion. And, their offer to show you how to pick up $200 first day cash makes it a no-brainer.
Paid Surveys Online is
another of the original paid survey membership sites.
They have an excellent database containing many quality survey companies.
Their lists are kept very current with few bad links. When you sign up with
Paid Surveys Online,
you’ll receive outstanding customer support. They have one of the highest customer satisfaction ratings around.
The members section offers over 300 quality survey companies. And, you’ll
find their directory is one of the most well-organized of all survey sites.
One of my favorite bonus’ on
Paid Surveys Online
provides you with the ability to automate the process of filling forms and greatly speeds up your survey taking. Their new
“getting started” section is full of insider tips, tactics and tricks to get you started as fast as possible.
Although not all of the surveys on
Paid Surveys Online
offer as high a compensation as some other sites, you’ll find many quality surveys that are easy and fun to do that will
generate a very nice second income source.
Although Paid Survey Program
is younger than the companies above, you’ll find it to be one of the most profitable.
The members section offers over 500 resources willing to pay you to give your
opinion about various products or services. And, you’ll find the
Paid Survey Program
directory is well maintained and up-to-date with very few bad links. You’ll find the user interface intuitive and easy to
use.
A bunch of special bonuses such as "Paid to Shop", "Paid to Read Emails", "Paid
to Drive" etc are also included in the
Paid Survey Program membership. The
most useful bonus is the Survey Taking Software which greatly reduces the time needed to take surveys by pre-populating
generic fields.
You’re sure to appreciate the "Getting Started " guide that provides tips, tricks and
strategies to help you make more money and ensure you get off to a fast start.
Overall,
Paid Survey Program
is an excellent paid survey site genuinely dedicated to ensure maximum customer satisfaction. And, you’ll find it to be most profitable.
Tips for success
Before I close, I'd like to leave you with a few tips for success. These are some things I've learned from my time
"in the trenches" as a paid online survey taker.
1. Create a unique email address for taking surveys. Your invitations to participate in surveys will be
coming via email and it's best to keep them separate from your personal or other business email.
2. Sign up with as many Market Research Companies as you can. This is truly the worst part of the
process, but make it a goal to sign up with at least 5 new companies each day for the first week or so. By then you'll
be getting survey invitations and you can monitor whether you'd like to get more invitations or if you're already
receiving enough.
3. Take the time to build a profile with each Market Research Company. When you register with a MRC, you'll
be asked various questions which will make up your personal "profile". This gets tedious after awhile
(you wish you could do it once and let that be good for all of them) but since each research company has its own
focus and works independently from the other companies, it's another one of those necessary evils. As you fill out your
profile, be honest - this is how they match you up with the particular surveys and focus groups that they're offering.
4. Set realistic goals for yourself. Remember, you'll not get rich quick (or at all) with online surveys,
but you will make some extra money. If you only have one hour per week to devote to surveys that's fine.
You'll get out of this what you put into it. When you're realistic about this, it takes the pressure off and allows you to
have some fun with the surveys. After all, it's still pretty cool to get paid by answering a few questions on the computer,
wouldn't you say?
5. Check your email frequently. The reason I say this is because my wife used to be one of those persons
who checked her email every other day or so, with no regularity. When she first started doing surveys, she missed out on
most of them because she didn't open the email invitation until the survey was closed.
You see, they usually send out more invitations than the number of respondents they need.
If you try to take the survey once they've received their desired number of responses, you get a friendly screen saying that the
survey is closed. And guess which surveys close fastest? You got it - the high paying ones. The more frequently you check your
email, the better chance you have to take the "primo" surveys.
I trust this review has been helpful to you. I’m personally a member of each of the Paid Survey Membership sites
reviewed above and can vouch for the integrity of each.
Best Wishes and Much Success,
Jim Lawrence
