PAID ONLINE SURVEYS

This is highly publicized and promoted online money making program today. The reason is that, it is easy and almost anybody understands the basis on which it works. Normally, the actual program also include other features such as

· Mystery shopping, get paid to eat, get paid to buy or test products, get paid to read emails, get paid to drive, get paid to participate in focus groups, get paid for your opinion, get paid to watch thrillers etc.


In most cases, a company somewhere would mail you the survey questions which you will complete and mail back to them in a given time and then you get rewarded in cash, gifts or something else depending on the company.
This looks straightforward without risk bur the question is can one succeed that easily?

Well there are a few legitimate questions that need to be answered:

· What is the number of surveys that you can obtain from these companies?
· The type of survey and the compensation offered
· Will your geographical location influence your potential earnings?
· Finally, you might be giving up your email to receive all sorts of mails leading to spam.

It is true that most of the survey companies post an average of 1 or 2 surveys per month hence to get a study flow of work, you must sign up with about 50 sites or more. It is worth noting that the surveys are conducted on products and services that vary from place to place meaning some surveys may not be available to people in certain locations and this is a fact.

Also, some surveys can take as little as 30 seconds to complete while others may take 30 minutes or more of your time. The package differs and it is your duty to choose what you like.
Is it worth 30 minutes of your time to get paid $5? That is as well something you need to decide yourself.
Unless you want to get into focus groups (which can bring a lot more money, but requires a little bit more time, be wary of who you give your phone number details to because being cold-called can be worse than spam.
Very often than not, I hear people complain that they sign up for these programs and end up with a lot of spam without receiving any surveys.
To guard against this, you must create a new email address specifically for the survey stuff. You also need to document properly, all the companies you will work for easy tracking of your earnings since they will pay you individually.
I must say that one must not expect to make huge online money will a program like this but with diligence; something the neighbourhood of $400-$500 is achievable.
