Legitimate Paid Online Surveys 101

Pitfall number 3. Failure to check your paid online surveys e-mail inbox regularly and follow up. Some people get distracted, let paid online survey correspondence pile up and languish in their in-boxes. The survey makers note the slow response and start downgrading the account, eventually even crossing that name off their list entirely.  Fewer surveys come in, income drops, the survey taker gets discouraged and quits.

Solution: Check your inbox at least once a day. Answer all correspondence promptly. Stay on top of your communications. Get some help if you need it your wife, your husband or even your kids. Online Survey companies need the information fast and close the online surveys even faster. So check your email often and fill those surveys out as quickly as you can.

Pitfall number 4. Expectation of immediate results without doing any work.  Some people start out with paid online surveys with unrealistic expectations.  They expect to get rich quick, without having to do any work. So they sit and wait, and when no money comes in they quit.

Solution:  Plan your work, work you plan, and expect that results will follow.  Sure, you can make money.  But it’s not automatic; things won’t move unless and until you do.  You have to do the signup work, answer promptly, take the surveys and do a good job of answering all the questions in order to make the money come in.  Do these things and you will succeed!   Set Time aside to complete these tasks each and every day, then it becomes repetitive and you will accomplish more tasks.

Pitfall number 5. Lack of patience with the process.  Some fail for lack of patience.  You hear people say, “I tried it for two weeks and didn’t make any money, so I quit.” 

Solution: Be patient!  Two weeks is not even enough time to get started properly!  If you do everything right, get signed up for the maximum number of paid online surveys in the first 2-3 weeks, you might make some income in the first month.  But you will not hit your peak income for 3-6 months.  Survey makers are cautious with new signups.  They will send out only a few surveys at first, to check you out, see how well and how quickly you respond.  Don’t expect to be invited to participate in a $250 focus group right away. They will start you with something smaller, and then if that goes O.K. you will be considered for bigger things.  Be patient. Don’t expect everything to happen overnight.  It will come. Just give it time.

If you can avoid failure, you will succeed.  If for no other reason, because by avoiding failure, success is the only alternative left!
