Paid survey sites provide you with a database of research companies that pay people to complete surveys on certain products. Why would companies pay you for your opinion you ask?
Consider this:
Companies world-wide spend BILLIONS of dollars each year on advertising. By paying consumers (such as yourself) to complete a questionnaire, the companies are increasing their knowledge of the consumer and what they expect from their product. This gives the company an advantage, as they can improve and develop their product to focus on what the consumer expects. This will ultimately lead to increased sales of their product and increased revenue.
Many of these sites promise anywhere up to $175/hour for completing a bunch of questionnaires. Unfortunately this is just another lie. It is not that easy.If this was really the case, why would these companies sell their databases for as little as $30 - $60? They should be selling their information for hundreds of dollars!
Once you hand your money over to these sites, you often find:
• A never ending list of “survey companies” which takes hours, if not days to sort through to find the decent companies which will actually pay you for completing their studies.
• There is no support from site operators. No assistance with how to choose good companies which actually pay.
• Many of the listed companies are out-of-date, closed down, or only offer prizes and not monetary rewards.
• A maze of difficult processes to obtain a refund, if can even get them to respond to your requests.
In fact, the only people making any real money from these sites are the site operators themselves!
FACT: People CAN make money with paid survey sites.
Many people the world over ARE making money through the exact process I have just discredited above. They are not making thousands of dollars a week like most of the sites claim is possible. The people that make some extra money from these sites all have the following in common:
• Have patience, and do not expect to make thousands of dollars in their first month.
• Invest some of their time and effort into making this process work for them.
• Are aware of which survey sites DO ACTUALLY PAY YOU FOR COMPLETING SURVEYS.
By following the guidlines on this site, joining the suggested sites and investing some of your time and motivation, then you too can be well on the road to earning a bit of extra cash.
