Top 7 Questions About Paid Survey Programs
Earning money by completing
online surveys is an easy and fun way
to generate extra income from home. Many people have become very
successful at this method of generating income at home. Some have
even been able to leave their current employment and complete
surveys full time.
With this in mind, there are 7 common questions that are asked by
online entrepreneurs that desire to earn income from home completing
surveys.
- What Is The Pay Rate For Surveys?
Each survey that you complete will be paid at a different rate.
Rates will depend on the company issuing the survey and the length
of the survey. If you are completing a survey that takes 30 minutes
to fill out, you will be paid much higher than one that is only 10
questions long. Some surveys will offer bonus surveys that pay
considerably higher for a short survey, again this will depend on
the organization that is issuing the questionnaire.
- How Do Survey Companies Pay?
Survey companies each pay differently. However, there are 3 common
forms of payment. Surveys will pay you for your time with:
- Cash payment
- Points
- Entries into contests
Cash payment is usually issued by direct deposit into a PayPal
account. Depending on the company, you may receive payment each time
the survey is completed, or periodically during the month. Some
companies may issue checks, but there may be a fee attached to this
method.
Points are awarded into an account that accumulate for cash and
prizes. These points generally can be used to claim gift cards or
merchandise. It is important to review the policies of the survey
company to understand when and how often you can redeem your points.
Verify if there are any expiration dates.
Contest entries have become quite popular among survey companies.
When you complete a survey they will award you a set number of
entries into a grand prize drawing. While these are legitimate, it
is much harder to earn income with this method.
- Should I Join More Than One Survey Company?
Yes! Surveys are issued based on demographic information. The more
companies that you are registered with, the more chances you have to
participate in a survey. Surveys will require a specific amount of
respondents from each of their demographic categories. The more
times you can qualify, the more you will earn. The key to making
money through online surveys is quantity.
- Should I Tell The Companies What They Want To Hear?
No. The reason that different companies will issue surveys is to
find out the truth about their product or service. They know that
anonymous responses will provide them with actual data, as opposed
to face-to-face questioning. People will feel much more secure in
responding negatively, yet truthfully, to a bad product if they are
given the chance to do so without repercussion.
- Will I Receive Free Products To Examine?
There are many opportunities to be selected in market research that
involves using a product and reporting your findings. This does not
happen with every survey, but it will happen. You may be asked to
try a new soap or shampoo, food item or even try a website. After
you have tried the product, you will be required to report your
findings to receive payment for your opinion.
- Will Everyone Know My Personal Information?
The survey company will undoubtedly have you complete a registration
form that asks for your personal information. This is for the
payment process only. After you have completed that part of your
application, you will be asked many demographic-based questions.
These questions are what will be used to identify your responses to
the sponsoring company, and these questions only. Your identity will
never be revealed to any company that has requested a survey.
- How Do You Know If A Survey Company Is Legitimate?
As with any type of Internet based business, there is always a risk for
scams. To determine if the company you wish to register with is
legitimate there are a few things you can do.
- Check the “Contact Us” page. Is there contact
information listed? No contact information means it is most likely a
scam. If there is info listed, copy and paste it into Google, this
will help you research the company.
- Companies requesting payment to join. Any
company requesting money should be avoided.
- Lack of Privacy Policy. If a company cannot
guarantee that they will not sell or use your information, you want
to move on.
Of course, these are not guaranteed ways to avert a scam, but they
will help. Never hesitate to research a company before applying. It is
always better to be safe.
