How to Make Money Doing Online Surveys

Ms. Wettin
Are you looking for an opportunity to earn extra money within the comforts of your home? Do you enjoy giving your opinions? Paid online surveys may be the perfect opportunity for you to begin earning money today.

Sign Up With Online Survey Companies

Rather than paying for a list of internet survey companies, search the internet for legitimate companies. The sites that charge you money upfront are not survey companies. They only give you a list of companies in exchange for a fee. All online survey companies are actually free to join, although some sites only accept new members during recruitment periods. A great starting list of online survey companies can be found here.

Fill Out All Screener Surveys

Most online survey sites will make new members fill out screener surveys when they first sign up. These first surveys generally do not pay, but rather, give information about your demographics so the company knows which surveys to send to you.

Check Bulk or Junk Email

Emails from survey companies may automatically be swept to your junk email account. Be sure to add all the companies to your accepted senders list so you do not miss out on any paid survey opportunities.

Stay Active with the Companies

Survey companies generally offer two different types of surveys: those with a guaranteed incentive (usually cash or points) and those that only offer a chance at a prize. My advice is to only fill out those surveys with a guaranteed incentive.

When you receive survey invites, you should fill them out at your earliest convenience. Many of these surveys are only open for a limited amount of time.

Add all the survey companies' websites to your favorites list for easy access. Periodically, check in on all the different sites to see that all of your information is up to date. Also, many companies "bank" your money and you must log in to your account to redeem your cash.

Continue to Seek Out New Online Survey Companies

Always be on the lookout for new paid online survey companies that you might wish to work for. Survey police website is an excellent resource to check the legitimacy of survey companies. It is also helpful in seeking out new online survey opportunities.

Please be aware that paid online surveys are not going to make you rich. You will not get rich quick or be able to earn a living filling out surveys. However, paid online surveys are a great way to make some extra cash in your free time.

    I do online surveys, and I've made good money from them. (About $65 so far!) I've tried a few survey companies, and Survey Savvy is my favorite. They take anywhere from 5-20 minutes, and pay approximately $4 per survey. (One time I got a $20 survey!)

    If anyone's interested, here's the link:

    I did this survey thing for a while but found that I couldn't stick with it. The good thing is that some of these sites are actually legit, so that was always nice to know.

    I have signed up at 5 legitimate survey companys and I just made $85 two weeks ago to test a new chicken sandwich at KFC. Getting paid to eat- what a great concept!
