Legitimate Paid Online Surveys 101

Posts Tagged ‘online’

Survey-101 brings you my honest and thoughtful opinion for Panda research. I will answer the question can you get paid surveys from Panda research. As always please leave me a question or comment and if you like this post click the like button on Facebook or Twitter or Digg. The initial look of the site is very professional.  Other than that I see a lot of red flags let’s take a look at Panda research.

 

• Red flag #1 in my opinion. Earn $3 to $75 for each paid survey you complete!



(I have been doing online surveys for over 4 years and in most case’s you get between $1 – $3 per online survey)

• Red flag #2 in my opinion. Earn 3¢ to 25¢ for every email you read!



(They try to cover their offers with a page of 5 or 6 questions that they claim is an online survey.)

• Red flag #3 in my opinion. Under the Terms and Conditions.

(A.4) Panda Research NEWSLETTER AND OTHER EMAILS. By signing up for Panda Research, you are opting-in to receive Panda Research newsletters and other special offer emails.) Again they are letting you know this is a pay to click site not an honest good online survey site.

• Red flag #4 in my opinion. Under the Terms and Conditions.

(A.6) TERMINATION AND CANCELLATION. Panda Research at its sole discretion and for any reason or no reason at all may terminate any Members without prior notice for (a) any violation of any provision of this Agreement; (b) aiding in or promoting circumvention of the Panda Research Service; (c) acting against the business interests or reputation of Panda Research; (d) otherwise acting unlawfully in relationship to Panda Research, the Panda Research website or the Panda Research Service; (e) breach of our Spamming Policy; (f) inactivity (defined as the failure to earn any cash incentive in your Panda Research account) for a continuous six-month period; or (g) any other reason at the discretion of Panda Research.)

• Red flag #5 in my opinion. Under the Terms and Conditions.

(A.10) Cancellation: Signup with free trials may carry a shipping charge and after the free trial, you may be charged , so it is user resposibilty to cancel at any time by calling the advertiser number or advertiser email for cancellation of services or products brought.) Here we have a typo and bad grammar but bottom line showing it is a pay to click site and if you sign up under Panda Research you will get charged a fee if you forget to deactivate a trial.

• Red flag #6 in my opinion. Under the terms and conditions.

(D. NO PAYMENT GUARANTEE. PandaResearch does NOT guarantee that a member will receive credit for a completed survey and offer. PandaResearch will make reasonable efforts to track and report your signing up for offers but does not guarantee the precision of the process. We reserves the right to refuse the credit to members for offers for variety of reasons, including, but not limited to , Lack of appropriate information, Improper signup, Improper browser settings, Errors in third party reporting, and / or any other reason. ) Here is their way of saying you will not get paid, and do you see the part that says an offer.

• Red flag #7 in my opinion the biggest problem with this site. Under the terms and conditions.

(M. PROVIDE CASH INCENTIVES. PandaResearch offers cash incentives to members in exchange for completing surveys and signup for trial offers. Members won’t be eligible for cash incentives by only completing the surveys. Signing up for the offers, advertised by our partners, is necessary in order to be eligible for cash incentives. If you complete a survey and sign up for the corresponding offer, it will take upto 8 weeks to receive the cash funds from the advertiser. Please do not delete the confirmation emails you receive from the advertisers. These confirmation emails are required in order for us to investigate if your account is not credited in 8 weeks. The funds will be sent to the paypal e-mail address registered on file with PandaResearch. If your e-mail address changes and funds have already been sent to your e-mail address on file, PandaResearch cannot redirect the funds to your new address. You can change your paypal e-mail address in PandaResearch at any time. PayPal.com is a FREE service that allows you to instantly receive cash over the Internet. Cash payments will only be made after the member’s qualification to participate in a particular survey has been verified by PandaResearch, the member completes that survey and offer. PandaResearch is not responsible if you lose, or misplace your funds via email. All cash payment amounts may be changed or modified at any time and at the discretion of PandaResearch. Members are responsible for any taxes due as a result of payments made for their participation in PandaResearch. )

[ad]A brief search on line will find dozens of references to online survey scams from people who haven’t made any money. With so many opportunities around, why do some people fail in this easy internet business activity?

Generally because they did not know what they were doing and/or were poorly advised. Most failures fall into one of three categories:

Poor choice of where to start
They answered an ad and jumped in, not realizing that they were dealing with a sales company trying to look like a paid online survey company, but just wanted to sell them things.

If you fail to plan you are planning to fail. Do not fall into this category; I will attempt to do a lot of the research for you by digging thru the sites and getting actual address of each and every survey company that I recommend to everyone here at Survey-101.

Alternatively, people try to go the easy route and then pay for a list of survey sites only to find it is simply a list of other companies, many of which weren’t operating in their country, and even more that offer no more than the remote chance of winning a prize at the end of a long survey. Not only will you not have earned any money, but you were out of pocket by the cost of the guide. The simple fact is that there are many websites that will sell you a list of companies offering paid survey work, encouraging you to part with large sums of money against the promises of a full time income for very little work. The reality is that these sites provide nothing that you can’t get from a free listing site like this one. In fact, because the free directories don’t charge a fee for information, they need to be more vigilant at keeping details up to date to keep visitors returning, whereas paid directories have already had your money and have little incentive to do more.

Just remember this is just like any job you have ever had the more work and energy you put into it the better it will pay off in the long run. If you’re looking to get rich quick or make $100 of dollars an hour then this is not for you. This is for the people who are dedicated and have the time and patience to sit in front of the computer and give online survey companies honest and true answers. They will in turn pay you for these answers.

So why delay let’s get started with online survey’s today.

Please leave me a comment on anything I can do to make your experience here at Survey-101.com a more pleasant one. Have a great wonderful and fantastic day.

Army Strong!
