INTRODUCTION
Many people today are shedding the corporate world and working from home. With the cost of childcare, the rising gas prices, and the need for parents to connect with their children more often, working at home has become more popular in the last decade.
Working at home is not for everyone, it takes an organized person who can stay on schedule without supervision. Once you begin working at home, JOB will become a nasty work. You set the hours you work every day, and you will have the flexibility to break up your day when children or errands need attention.
Many people are participating in online surveys to make money at home. There are hundreds of online survey sites who need your opinion on a variety of topics, and they will pay you to fill out surveys. Many marketing companies are using this method of research to give them a wider scope of coverage.
This book is filled with information on how you can get your share of cash from filling out paid surveys on the internet. You will learn how to find the best paid survey sites, how to get started, how much money you will make, and so much more.
CHAPTER ONE
HOW PAID SURVEYS WORK
Once you register with a paid survey site, you will receive surveys in your email. It is up to you which surveys you choose to participate in. You will be paid for each survey you complete, following the price per survey the site offers. Most of the time, these surveys will take you about 5 to 15 minutes of your time to fill out, and usually offer a payment of $10 to $75 for each. Focus groups pay quite a bit more per survey, usually up to $250.
The amount of money you make will depend on how many sites you join and how many emails you receive in a day, you could make several hundred dollars daily. Look at it this way, if you receive and complete at least 25 paid surveys a day at $10 to $15 each, you would be making anywhere from $250–$375 per day. At 5 to 15 minutes per survey you would be working anywhere from 2 1/2 hours, to a bit over 6 hours every day. If all of these surveys were from focus groups paying $75 each, you would have the potential to realize a whopping $1875 per day. You can see the potential to make a good deal of money participating in paid surveys.
Why Would Anyone Pay For Your Opinion ?
As a consumer, your opinion is important to companies before they introduce a new product or service to the market. Paying to have a consumer fill out surveys is a much more cost effective way to perform research, as the company cannot afford to introduce a new product or service that nobody will buy.
It is well worth it for a company to pay a consumer to fill out a survey, participate in an online focus group, or pay to watch a new movie trailer and give their opinion. This way they will get consumer opinions, good or bad, before they put any money into production.
Types of Paid Surveys
Statistical Surveys:
These surveys are used to collect information about the population. These surveys are used to measure political polls, for governmental use, health, social activities, and marketing research. The surveys will focus on facts or opinions, depending on the type of the information the company or institution is looking for.
The questions on this type of survey are standard and structured. Questions are offered in an order that will not influence a response to questions that came after. They are standardized so that the questions remain general and reliable. Every person receiving the survey will receive the exact same questions.
Serial Surveys:
These surveys repeat the same questions at different times to track changes in opinion. There are two types of serial surveys. Cross– Sectional Surveys are given to a variety of different people at the same time, and Longitudinal Surveys are given to the same person at different intervals of time.
Delivering Surveys to the Public:
Telephone Surveys– Are a popular way to get public opinion and are low in cost. This type of survey is limited in capacity because the responder is not able to view, smell, or touch the product. An oral representation of the survey is represented.
Mail Surveys– The survey is mailed to the respondent and are returned in the same manner. When bought in bulk, postage is usually quite reasonable, making this type of delivery cost effective. The biggest drawback to this type of survey delivery is the long wait to receive all of the responses, sometimes several months.
Online Surveys– Web surveys are sometimes preferred over email because the response rate is instantly available. Online surveys can be lower in cost to the company, and more convenient for the person filling them out because they are automated.
In-Home Surveys– People are interviewed at their door or in their home. These surveys are very high in cost and the company will get about a 40 to 50% response.
Man-on-the Street Surveys– Surveys taken by those encountered outdoors. Many times a booth is set up with an interviewer. The questions can be asked orally, or the respondent may be asked to fill out a written survey.
CHAPTER TWO
A GOOD PLACE TO START
Before you start participating in free paid surveys there are a few things you will need to do. The first thing to do is to find the best survey sites to sign up with. You are doing this to make money so you will want to sign up with the sites that pay you per survey. There are also survey sites that reward you with chances to win prizes and cash by giving you a chance at a drawing. These sites are not the ones you want.
To start with there are directories with information on survey sites that will pay you for participating in their marketing programs. You will want to have an email account specifically for your paid surveys. This will help you keep track of your surveys and you will not need to sift through other mail to find a survey.
The Starter Directory is one place to start, but you need to know that these sites will send out more invitations than others. There is also a Featured Directory that all surveys listed will be free to participate in. If you are signing up from both directories, you will need to take care that you do not sign up for a site more than once. Some sites are featured in both directories. It will help if you check out the entire site. This will help you become more familiar with the type of surveys you will be taking and why.
Tips to Get the Ball Rolling
Before you do anything you may want to download the Roboform program. This form is available at https://www.tradebit.com, and they offer a free trial of the program. You will be able to enter all of your information into the program where it will be stored. When you want to sign up for a paid survey site Roboform will fill in all of your information for you.
Opening a PayPal account might be a good idea, if you don’t have one already. You can go to https://www.tradebit.com to sign up, some of the paid survey sites use PayPal to send payment. It is a fast and easy process, and your information is safe with them.
Sign up for as many paid survey sites as you think you can handle, and are in line with your preferences and what you know about. Remember you will not get a survey from each site every day, so you will want to sign up with several sites to balance out the amount you can earn in a day. You might also want to look for a focus group in your area, as it can lead to being involved in some pretty lucrative projects.
Be sure to bookmark sites where you are required to log in. You may want to create a folder with separate files for each of your paid survey sites and keep them in a folder in your documents. This will help to keep you organized and you will have your user name and password at your fingertips. When the sites are bookmarked, you will be able to access the site easier and check to see if they have any surveys available for you to take.
Make sure that you fill out the profile section of the paid survey site. This will determine how many surveys you will be sent. The more you have on your profile, the more surveys you will be eligible for. Even if some of the subjects are remotely interesting to you, be sure to include them.
You may also sign up for the survey sites that offer a drawing for money and prizes. These sites do not pay for surveys in cash, but give you a chance to win a drawing each time you fill out a survey.
When taking the survey be sure you are honest with your answers. These companies rely on you to let them know if a product or service will be popular enough to send to market. You are taking part in launching new products.
Tips to Make Your Survey Experience Successful
Make your life easier and save your fingers by using Roboform to automatically filling in your information when signing up for paid surveys. This will save you time and can usually be completed with one mouse click.
Set up an email address that is for your paid surveys only. This way you will be able to handle your surveys much easier. When the surveys are sent along with your regular email, it is far too easy to accidentally delete the survey. You will need to fill out all of your surveys to make as much money possible.
You will need to make sure you keep track of your paychecks for tax purposes. You will most likely be classified as self employed when it comes to taxes. You will need to pay taxes on your income from paid surveys. Keep a record of all of your paychecks in case you will need to pay taxes. Any expenses you have associated with your paid survey business, should be tax deductible. A home office is a deductible expense, and your internet payment may also be deductible. You will need to check tax laws in your state.
4. Make sure to register with all of the paid survey networks. Each has a separate list with hundreds of companies offering paid surveys. This will assure that you will have plenty of survey opportunities.
5. Accept every online paid survey opportunity you can. This is to establish your reliability as a survey worker. Once you show you are dependable, You will get more of the higher paid surveys in your mailbox. Later on you will be able to resign from the lower paying survey sites if you wish. Right now you are trying to make as much money as possible.
How to Find the Best Paid Survey Sites
The paid survey sites that you consider to be the best, may not be the best site for someone
else. This will depend a great deal on the profile you filled out for the survey site, and the type of surveys they are taking. A survey on cell phones will not be sent to you if you have not indicated you own one on your profile. Age and gender will be a factor in the surveys that are sent to you too. You wouldn’t ask a man to do a survey on a new bra concept, just as you wouldn’t send a survey about jock straps to a woman. I think you get the idea.
You will need to be honest when dealing with paid survey companies. If you are found out, you will be kicked off the site, and this will cut down on your income from paid surveys. Besides, it is better to stick with things you know a bit about, or it will be obvious when taking the surveys. You will see what I mean once you start taking surveys. Only sign up once for a paid survey site. Having more than one account will be reason for dismissal from the site.
If you follow the tip on signing up for as many survey sites as possible this will give you more opportunities because:
The chances will be greater that you will find the top paid survey sites that will be compatible with your profile.
2. Until it becomes apparent which paid survey sites will be most lucrative for you, you will still be making money with the other paid surveys that you have signed up for. Depending on your profile, the paid survey companies may only send you one or two surveys a month. That is why it is important to sign up with as many paid survey sites as you can to begin with.
You should look at the directories first. This will save time because you won’t need to look them all up separately. If you do not find enough in the free directories, you may want to do a search for paid survey sites. You can also purchase a paid membership to survey directories.
Just keep signing up for different surveys and you will begin to make money. Be as diligent with filling out these surveys as you would with a JOB. Even though some of these companies don’t pay as much as others, that can change at any time.
Participating in Paid Surveys
People are doing less work and making more money working online. Some of this newfound wealth is because they are participating in paid internet surveys. You will at least make a bit of money to pay a bill, or buy Christmas presents. Although you can build up your paid survey business into something more substantial.
Internet surveys are a great way for businesses to serve their clients better than they could with other forms of information gathering. Paid surveys are a way to connect to the consumer and offer an incentive for answering a few questions truthfully. This is also a way for the customer to get back a bit of what they have spent on products and services over the years.
People from all walks of life are making money every month participating in paid online surveys. They simply open their survey emails, log onto the site, take the survey, and move on to the next. This supplements the family income and allows them the freedom to stay at home.
You can start making money with paid online surveys, here’s how.
The first step is to join paid survey sites. When you are approved by the site, you should start getting paid surveys from them within the first two weeks. It all depends on the surveys they have available that fit your profile. The number of surveys you will receive each week is dependant upon your profile.
If you are not working away from the home and want to make this a real business, then you should join as many paid survey sites as you can.

CHAPTER THREE
MAKE MONEY WITH PAID SURVEYS
This chapter will outline the ways to make money with paid surveys. You will find tips on how to make the most of your paid survey home business, and practical information on the best way to keep track of the survey sites you sign on with. By the time you finish this book I want you to be able to run your home based paid survey business with efficiency and ease.
How Much Money Can I Make With This Business?
There are sites out there that will tell you that you will make thousands per every month participating in online surveys. Remember that this is not a get rich proposition, nor is it an executive position. While it is possible to make an extra amount of money each month to help out, anything above that will take hard work, diligence, and longer hours than you may want to put in if you are a stay at home mom.
When you are participating in online paid surveys, a lot will hinge upon your personal profile. Where you live, your age, and even your interest preferences. It will also depend upon whether the companies needing information are interested in hearing from you according to your profile. When you fill out your profile, make sure you check everything you are even remotely interested in or know anything at all about. You will be unable to alter your gender, age, and location, and they are also factors in which surveys you will be eligible for.
My advice is to sign up for every survey site you possibly can. The more you are affiliated with, the better your chances are of being eligible for more surveys. Remember, as I said before, make sure you set up a separate email account for your paid surveys, otherwise you will find yourself in a world of confusion. Also keep in mind that focus groups will pay you much more for your opinions than regular surveys so sign up for those too.
You should also realize that it will take a bit of time for these companies to get to know if you will be a dependable survey participant, so if you don’t get as many surveys as you expected, hang in there and over time you will build up a reputation for being reliable. You will have some months when you will make a little and other months where you will make much more. It all depends on the surveys available to you at the time.
I’m sure you noticed that many of the survey sites offer a chance to win cash and prizes instead of giving you cash per survey. It is up to you whether you want to participate in these surveys. I would say when you are starting out, sign up for all of them. Later on, if you feel you are too swamped with this type of survey, you can choose to drop some of them.
The Difference Between Focus Groups and Paid Surveys
A paid survey is usually short, very few of them will take you over 15 minutes to complete and you will participate online. You will be invited by email to take the survey, fill it out and get rewarded. A focus group is a bit different as they are usually conducted over the phone or at a physical location. A focus group will usually pay a good deal more and it is usually disbursed in cash.
When you are asked to test a product, the product is sent to you to use for a certain amount of time. When that time is up, you will fill out a form that comes in the mail, is available online, or you will be asked to write a review on the product. Compensation for this type of survey is usually the product, but there are times when you will also make a nominal fee for participation.
Academic Research Panels
The following sites are accepting people to be on their research panels. This may just be the niche you have been looking for.
Vanderbilt University eLab: This research panel accepts all ages and people from all over the world. They offer a cash drawing for a $250 prize, once a month, and drawings for $100 cash prizes for each eLab survey or experiment you take part in.

Can I Make a Living Taking Paid Surveys?
There are many factors involved but the bottom line is: If you are signed up with only one or two paid survey companies, you will never make enough money to quit your regular JOB. For each site that you are signed up with, you will be offered anywhere from 1 to 4 surveys each month. On the average, each completed survey will pay you between $1 and $4 each.
Let’s go with $3 per survey. You have signed up with 10 survey sites, and each one sends you 3 surveys a month, you will of course make $90 during that month. On the other hand, if you signed up with 100 sites, and each one sends you 3 surveys each month, you will make $900 that month. You can also make cash by surfing the internet and reading emails. Some of the paid survey sites offer these opportunities as well.
Other Ways to Earn Cash Taking Paid Surveys
Another way to make money with paid surveys is to get involved with offers and surveys that promote specific products or services. These are called “Get Paid To” or GPT sites. GPT sites feature market research and offers for products and services. This will make your income go up as much as $1,000 a month. If you take advantage of multiple sites and sign up for offers.
However, these sire may require you to use your credit card for some of the offers. There are times when you are asked to buy something to get paid. You will need to keep track of the products or services you have signed up for, and make sure you cancel any free trials you do not want to keep when the trial period is over. You really need to keep track of when you signed up for these free trials so that you will not end up paying for something you do not want.
Be aware that by visiting and using these sites you will get marketing phone calls, mail, and, email. If you shop online these sites can save you a good deal of money and supplement your income as well. There are ways for you to cut some of the privacy factors as well.
The decision on which way you wish to make money online is up to you. Try the different types of making money to see which ones you prefer. All paid for survey, and GPT sites are free to join, so you have nothing to lose by trying them. I have never paid for a list so I don’t know if they have a different list than the free lists. That would be a personal choice too, but I would try all of the free lists before I thought about paying for a list. Have patience, nothing good ever happened overnight.
What to do After You Have Signed on With Paid Sites
Make sure you bookmark all sites that require a members login. It is wise to record all of the sites you belong to as it can get quite confusing otherwise. You will also want to check your accounts on each site at least one or more times a week. You may not get paid from some sites unless you log in and tell them you want to cash out. Get familiar with each site and take note of how you are paid from each. If they pay in points, you should see what your points can be exchanged for and what amount you will need in your account before you can cash out.
Some sites will feature daily awards for members. These rewards may be small, but they are something and do add up over time. You will want to keep track of these and visit these sites for at least a few minutes every day. This can only add to your income.

CHAPTER FOUR
DO PAID SURVEY WEBSITES REALLY PAY?
Paid survey websites have really grown in popularity. There are more sites being launched as you read this. Each of them swear they have the best paying survey program. Not every site can be the best paying site, and you will need to do a bit of homework on these sites before you decide to sign up with them.
If you choose the right programs you can definitely make some cash. There is not one business type, online or off, that doesn’t have a few bad apples among them. When you approach any business that you are thinking about becoming involved with, make sure you check them out before you join. If it sounds like a scam, it just may be. As I said before you will need to do a bit of homework or research on these sites.
You already know that you will not get rich by joining a few sites that pay for your opinions. You may make a bit of money and that is fine. By utilizing the suggestions in this book, you should be able to make a living working on your computer. By now you know that you will need a realistic attitude when working with these sites and will not expect to become a millionaire in any case.
You are the one who will need to choose which sites you want to work for and that will control how much you will make taking surveys or participating in other money making sites that have been discussed in this book. The proof is always in the reality, only you will be able to tell if a certain website is right for you. Fantastic claims of making millions should not be able to sway your opinion, now that you know the truth.
All you need to do is check everything out and not accept anything that you don’t feel comfortable with. If a site wants you to pay a lot of fees, you should know they are not going to be a very good choice. Some of these sites do ask you to upgrade to a higher level of surveys for a fee. I would not do this right away. Try all of the free sites before you pay for anything. You will most probably find that you will not need to pay anyone a thing to make money with paid surveys.
There are definitely those paid survey sites that are not up to par with the others. Some things to look for in a disreputable site are:
Resources and directories that are outdated.
Links that are broken, and pages that are no longer available.
A site that is difficult to navigate.
Have no customer service or help for their members.
Do not offer a refund on paid subscriptions, if you are not satisfied.
Many of these sites will charge anywhere from $85 to $125 to register. Do not fall into this scheme. Make sure the site is what you consider a good income provider, at a no or low cost level.
Even if they are closed down for fraudulent behavior, the scammers will simply open another site with new information, and start over again. We all would like to believe that the world is fair and would treat us the way we would treat others, in a straightforward manor and with honesty and integrity. Unfortunately that isn’t always the case.
IN CONCLUSION
As this book attests, there is a way to make a living on the internet. Whatever the reason that you desire a job at home, you can pull it off with hard work and willingness to persevere until you can build up a business that will pay you enough so that you do not need to leave the house to make money.
This book has given you all of the information on sites that will pay you for taking surveys and get paid to sites that will pay you for various other tasks. The legwork has already been done, and now it is up to you to take the ball and run with it.
While there are plenty of people out there making money from their computer working on the internet, we also realize that we need to be dedicated to our chosen field to get anywhere and make the kind of money we desire.
I sincerely wish you prosperity and success in the field you have chosen, and hope that your efforts will bring you everything you desire.
