Completing Online Surveys
I get paid between $5.00 and $75.00 per survey. I do this over and over again and it adds up.
You start this business by associating with as many survey groups as can keep you busy. If you wish to do this to make a full time income, then you will need to join a large number of groups. Then, be patient as it takes time to build up a positive reputation as someone who will be honest and take the time to complete each survey. I would recommend signing up with one of the sites listes below and then use their resources to sign up to 5 of their listed survey companies per week for the first few weeks. This hard work will definitely pay off.
Check your email regularly as these survey companies email you when they need you to complete a survey. If you are slow to respond, you will find that they no longer need you when you log in. And guess what, the best paying surveys get taken up the quickest - so stay on top of it. I recommend you get a separate email address (I got mine at Yahoo where they are free) for you survey business so you can quickly see the offers to participate in surveys when they arrive.
Initially you might need to build up 'your profile' by completing non-paying surveys about yourself. Once you have a profile, then the group will send you appropriate surveys or offers to join focus groups, based on your profile. Then, I recommend you complete every survey offered to you until you are in demand, then you can be more selective. Ideally you can work yourself into the position where you can select only those surveys that pay you well and have enough of them to create the income you desire. Do all of them at first. Later you can do only those you want to complete. You will need to work hard to make this happen - again, not a get rich quick scheme.
How much can you make completing Online Surveys?
This will depend on two things. How many surveys you complete and how much each one pays. In order to have enough surveys to complete you must join one of the professional membership sites listed below and then work hard to join up with their resources. This is not an expensive venture to get started. The sites below will offer many surveys that pay well.
I list a free survey site in my freebie section for those who are curious but not that serious! Don't expect to be offered more than 1-3 surveys per week, but do expect to get all kinds of spam in your email box! Most of the 'free sites' don't have a lot of larger businesses use their services - In order to speak honestly, I joined 15 free sites and continue to work about 2 hours per week, and make about $100/month. I can tell you first hand, and trust me I continue to give this a real good effort, AVOID FREE SITES if you want to make some decent money completing online surveys. Spending 8 hours/month is simply not worth my effort much longer, unless it gets better soon! I typically make thousands of dollars with the same time commitment to Forex Trading. I tend to be very stuborn and decided to stick with the 'free sites' long enough to give an honest review - so far....avoid them!
Unlike the free sites, the sites listed below have dedicated staff who continously source for new paid survey opportunities and you should make hundreds of dollars per month after awhile.
