I have already cashed out once and received my check so far this year to date I have earned $27. This might not sound like a lot of money but think about it could help with the gas at least or pay for a couple of lunches. So why delay sign up today with mindfield.com.

There is no fee to sign up and if you complete all fifteen of their general information questionnaires you will have set yourself up for success. These questionnaires are what qualify you for each of the online surveys. Yes I know they are a pain to do with each company but they need to make sure you are a good fit for what they are looking for.

One of the best things I like about mindfield.com is they also send you products for in home trials. I have done a few so far one was for Axe hair gel, another for some dishwasher tablets, and the one I currently am doing is for a body wash. They give you the product for you to try and then after the specified time they will send you an online survey to complete to evaluate the product. This is a great addition and one of the reasons I love this company so much. So if you have not done so already (click this link) and sign up now.

Benefits will include cash for your time, free products to evaluate and the opportunity to help out manufactures with testing out there products in the privacy of your home.

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!

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 site if  I was allowed to be truthful and tell it as I see it. 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 forum 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 and forums such as this one, will help you decide which ones to join. Learn from people who have been doing this over time. As you’ll 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.

[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.

This is going to be the first of many best reviews of SurveyHead. One of the first things I would like to point out is if you have not done so already please check out my article on always do this first, this is an important step in making your life of doing online surveys a less daunting task.

Here is there company info:

SurveyHead

16530 Ventura Blvd
#105
Encino, CA   91436
USA
support@surveyhead.com

Surveyhead was founded in 2008 by the founders of goZing.com. From 1999 to 2005, goZing paid out over $5 million to people worldwide for completing online surveys. In 2005, goZing was acquired by a public competitor.

Today, they work with corporations and market research firms around the world to help them gain competitive intelligence through online surveying.

Survey Head is committed to protecting your privacy so rest assured they will not spam you or sell your information to other people. Some personal information is gathered when you register. During registration, Surveyhead asks for your name, email address, zip code, household information and personal interests. The more information you volunteer (and the more accurate it is), the better they are able to customize your experience.

The first thing that comes to mind with them is they pay via paypal. There surveys are short sweet and to the point in most cases. They also offer you the opportunity to see just how close or related the survey is to you in the way of a percentage (%) for example you have a 80% of being qualified for this survey. In my opinion this is a great resource.

The down side I would have to say is sometimes you will start one of their online surveys and get about 5 minutes into it then Bamb you get a screen saying were sorry you don’t qualify for this survey. That kind of pissed me off in the beginning. You do have a waiting period for your account to be credited so keep records of the surveys you take and you should not have a problem. I still recommend them and say add them to your funnel and you will get money a lot quicker in the long run.

However overall they provide you with a steady stream of online surveys to complete. I average about 2-3 per week with them. You need $25 to cash out, this is a little on the high end as most other companies only require around $5. A cool thing is you do get a $5 bonus just for signing up with them.

Don’t just sign up for 1 company and expect tons of cash to come flying in that is just not how it works. Sign up for as many as you can and after a few months weed out the ones you don’t like.  Remember it’s a job so the more you do the more you will get paid.

Don’t think you will become rich overnight by signing up with just one survey taking company.

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.

Don’t forget if you have not checked out the section called always do this first, I advise you to start your journey there.

Here is just a few links to get you started on your way.
