Legitimate Paid Online Surveys 101

Archive for the ‘Learning about Surveys’ Category

What are some of the pros and cons about surveys? When you do legit online surveys it is just like having a JOB. Yes I said the nasty word, JOB, most people fail because they do not treat legit online surveys as a home business and hence they fail. You have to put time and effort into them, yes TIME. When you first start out taking legit online surveys you will have to wait 4-6 weeks before you get your first check in the mail. Some do pay sooner but if I give you the worst case scenario, you won’t be mad at me.
Before you get your hopes up I should tell you what I have found from doing legit online surveys for the past 2 years. When starting out you will average around $0.50 (yes fifty cents) through $3.00. The average time it takes to complete legit online surveys would be 10-30 minutes for each one (Some can be more). So, no you will not get rich over night doing them but heck with the way the economy has been would this money hurt? So now that I have your attention and the others who wanted a quick buck have left this page, let’s get down to the pros and cons about surveys.
We shall start with the cons to weed out the people who really would not be a good fit for legit online surveys.

Cons
• Online surveys only make you a little bit of money when you start .50-$3.00 for 10-15 minutes of work.
• Online surveys take time and you have to read. Some people don’t make the time to do this.
• Online surveys can sometimes be repetitive and cumbersome.
• Online surveys can spam your email accounts with unwanted junk mail.
• Online surveys do not have a set schedule when they come into your email account.

Now for the good stuff and the reason you came here the Pro’s.

Pros

• Online surveys are perfect for people who live on a fixed income and want extra cash.

So give them a try but remember my key points and stick with it.
1. Online surveys take time and do not pay tons of money.
2. You need to do them for 4-6 weeks before you get your first check.
3. Open a separate email account for your legit online surveys.

Start out with these legit online surveys first!

When you first get started taking online paid surveys, it can be overwhelming and confusing. Where do I go, what do I do? How do I know which sites are legitimate and which ones are scams? How does it all work? Can I make enough money to pay my bills? How much time will I have to spend? All of these questions will fill your head until you don’t know where to turn!

Get Paid for Your Opinion
Get rewarded for sharing your
opinion with major companies.
 

1) Read, read, and read some more. There is so much information on the internet about online paid surveys, but not all of it is reliable. Find a website that has done much of the work for you. Visit blogs and forums dedicated to the process. Be wary of sites that have wonderful reviews of all of the surveys sites. They are lying. LOTS of the surveys sites are not only terrible, but are scams. Those sites that are giving rave reviews on all of them, want you to join the good and the bad ones. I’ve been accused of being harsh in my reviews, but that’s because I only started this to be truthful and tell it as I see it. And I do. Use Google whenever possible by putting in the name of the survey site followed by scam and see what comes up, such as Vindale Research scam. You’ll get lots of info.

2) Don’t believe any site that tells you that you’ll make $500 in an hour. Again, they are not telling you the truth. You can make extra money taking online surveys, but you will NOT get rich. Take a look at this site and you’ll see where some of our members have posted their earnings. You’ll get a realistic overview.

3) The online paid survey process is not a quick endeavor. You will have to be patient to be successful. It may take a few months to start seeing real money coming in.

4) Survey sites and their related marketing firms are VERY serious about what they do. They recruit members to take their surveys for very important market research about products and services. They do not tolerate inaccurate answers, or hastily completed surveys. These companies have ways to evaluate data and can and WILL disqualify or ban you if you try to beat the system. Please answer the questions honestly and in a reasonable length of time. They will red flag you if you complete a survey too quickly and without giving time for thoughtful answers.

5) After you have done your research, it will become clear that you’ll need to join as many survey sites as your free time permits. Joining one or two will not bring in enough income to make it worth your while. Reading blogs like survey-101, will help you decide which ones to join. Learn from others who have been doing this for many years. You will see they have joined and unsubscribed from survey sites based on their experiences with them. In the end, you’ll have a better handle on the process and can make wise choices

Please leave me a comment on how the site is coming along and what you like or don’t like about it thanks in advance and have a great wonderful and fantastic day.

Can you make money with online surveys? Bottom line up front yes you can, but it involves work and effort. Just like any job or career you now have survey taking is the same thing. If you put your time and energy into doing them they will pay off.

You will not become rich overnight but with the way this economy is going these days who could not stand to have an extra few extra bucks. This is how to make the money the easy way at home!

Did you look in your local newspaper today or for that matter have you turned on the TV lately? Just thinking back a few weeks to the super bowl how many advertising (commercials) did you see. That is your market research companies at its best. Why do you think these big corporations pay millions of dollars to place ads? It’s because people like you and me say this is the product that we like and if we see it enough we will be tempted to buy it. It’s the rule of 3. If you see something more than 3 times it sticks in your head. For example think back to when you meet someone how many times do you forget their name, but once you meet them 3 or more times it sticks in your head and you will always remember them.

There are thousands of online surveys made per month that pay quick and easy cash. Big Brother Corporation needs your input and instead of them beating the streets or the mall nowadays they turn to the online community. This is a huge benefit for us, they save hundreds even thousands of dollars each and every time a computer spits out the survey. This savings is then returned to you in the form of either PayPal money or checks and even gifts.

So stop guessing and jump with both feet in. I will offer you many of the sites that have paid me and started paying for my teenagers. (Lord knows they spend a lot of my money)

Please leave a comment or suggestion on how I can make this a better place for all of use to get that online money that is just out there waiting to be taken.

What is a survey?

The best way to explain this would be to give some examples and the definition of the word itself.

Survey:

1.       To examine or look at comprehensively.

2.      A gathering of a sample of data or opinions considered to be representative of a whole.

3.      To inspect, or take a view of; to view with attention, as from a high place; to overlook; as, to stand on a hill, and survey the surrounding country.

4.      To view with a scrutinizing eye; to examine.

5.      A formal or official examination of the particulars of something, made in order to ascertain condition, character, etc.

6.      A sampling, or partial collection, of facts, figures, or opinions taken and used to approximate or indicate what a complete collection and analysis might reveal: The survey showed the percentage of the population that planned to vote.

Now that we have a good understanding of the word lets break it down to understanding terms. It’s merely your opinion on a specific topic or product.

Companies need your input on their products and or ideas. This is called Market Research. Think about it for a second those huge corporations like Disney or Kenwood (just to name a few) have no contact with the average Joe or Jane. This is a crucial piece of their marketing puzzle, with regards to research and development.

Everyone has bright ideas on new and creative products but will it sell? Could the product be improved? Does it have flaws or defects? These are just a few of the questions major corporations need. Those big companies pay a huge amount of money to research firms to get in “touch” with their consumer. They do this by creating a series of questions designed to get specific data the corporation desperately needs.

The data they collect helps them understand why we (the consumer) prefer Pepsi over Coke, and many other questions. The market research firm creates surveys with detailed information in regards to demographics; geographic areas and qualifying questions.

Have you yourself ever wondered the same thing? That’s why we have polls to gather data, and then use this data to come up with our answers.

Surveys are conducted in many ways and through countless companies. They could be in person, over the phone, threw the mail or even online. Once they have this data they can adjust fire and rethink their marketing strategies.

 Bottom line they take the information from your survey and make their product more appealing to you the consumer so in return they get more sales. More sales mean more revenue for them and products that we learn to love and cherish for years to come.

Post a comment leave some feedback so this site can become even better then it is. Thanks and have a great wonderful and Fantastic day.

Getting paid to do surveys is easier then you can imagine. Let’s face it with the current economic struggle were going threw who in their right mind would pass up some extra cash. I was just reading the La Times the other day and 68,000 people just got laid off. This number is growing on a daily basis.

So with that being said money is tight for everyone why not get a few extra bucks for your opinion. Paid surveys are easy to complete, normally all you have to do is meet the demographic criteria and some market research question and wha-la you’re finished.

What this does is provide true insight and detailed information of the customers preferences, or there wants and needs.  In addition many companies don’t have a close and immediate contact with these customers. Consider for example, some of the top household names.(Procter and Gamble, Nike, Budweiser) just to name a few. There primary contact is from distributors and major chains but there real customers (you) will be making decisions many miles away. The manufacture needs to know why you choose one product over another. How would they ever find out without surveys?

This is a proven method of receiving cash for your valuable opinion. Even the busiest of people can fill in a paid market research survey in a few moments and get paid for it. While here at the survey institute I will direct you to the most creditable organizations willing to pay you for your opinions. Your role will be used to impact numerous companies so they can effectively improve products for the end consumer. Many companies whether they are located in the US, UK, Canada, Australia or internationally look for consumer opinions on their products and services and rely on the unbiased opinions given in surveys.

Join some of the many paid surveys and focus groups listed on survey-101.com, and submit your personal preferences to a wide range of global companies.
