How to Really Get Paid to Do Surveys
The large companies who product products and services for sale rarely come into direct contact with their real customers, the ones who pick up their products in the supermarket rather than those of their competitors. And this is a problem because they must know what these consumers are thinking, so they can improve products and know which of their advertising is working.
To solve this problem they hire experts in marketing research to get answers for them. The market researchers use surveys to measure consumer opinion. Thousands of such surveys are being made online every day. So how do they get “volunteers” to take the time to answer all those surveys? They make it worth their while by paying survey participants for their time and opinions.
That is what sets up the opportunity for you to make money doing paid market research.
So how do YOU get paid to do surveys?
In order to get in you have to be invited to participate. The way you get invited is to get your name and demographic data on file with a number of good survey makers, the people who actually send out the surveys, the ones who maintain lists of prospective survey participants.
Of the more than 700 survey makers in the U.S. (Over 3,000 worldwide) only about 20% are first class, offering only legitimate paid online surveys that pay well and respect your privacy. The second tier, about 40%, pay less but are still worthwhile. The last 40% are just no-pay/low-pay time-wasters and sales companies, to be avoided!
Fine. How then do you find the good survey makers and avoid the bad ones?
There are a number of paid survey membership sites that maintain current lists of which are good and which not. Use a paid online surveys review site, like the one you will find by clicking this link, to see how the leaders compare so you can pick a good one.
