Welcome to Christian Work At Home Mom
I love to complete online surveys. They are lots of fun and I get rewarded for my opinions. Some research marketing companies will even give you a free product to test out. All they want you to do is fill out a form or survey and tell them what you think about their product. You get to keep the test product when the test period is over. Sometimes you even get a small check for your time and opinions. This is a very cool way to get freebies and get some extra cash to boot!
How to find market research companies and survey sites?
You can search for them on your own or you could use the links that I have found so far. There are some sites that want you to pay for this information. I think that is really silly. You can find most of the online survey research sites yourself for free just by spending some time looking. Why pay for what you can find for free?
Why would these research marketing and survey sites pay me for my opinion?
Simple. Before the online surveys they had to spend thousands of dollars sending out paper surveys to people that they hoped would fill them out and send them back. Sadly most of those surveys only ended up in the trash can.
Online surveys and email have made it possible for them to reach a much larger group of people all willing to fill out their surveys for them.
The money that was previously spent on the expenses of paying for the paper to print out the surveys and the stamps to mail them out can now be saved and used to pay their survey participants.
How much can I make completing online surveys?
The pay for completing online surveys varies depending on how much time it will take to complete the online surveys. I have found that the pay seems to be from $1.00 to $10.00 per survey. I have had invitations to take higher paid surveys, but did not pass the survey screener (a short questionnaire) to continue and take the full survey. If you get invited to join in an online focus group, the pay is usually $25.00 all the way up to $200.00 or more for your time. These focus groups usually take a lot more time and that is why the pay is so much higher for them.
How will I be paid?
Some of the survey sites pay in cold hard cash via a check or paypal. Other sites reward you with points that can be redeemed for gift cards or prizes. Some sites will enter you into a weekly or monthly contest for completing surveys. Some of the survey sites will also enter you into their contests if you take the survey questionnaire but do not qualify for the survey itself.
Tips for taking surveys...
I would suggest that you do not use your personal email for completing online surveys. You will be receiving several emails for survey invites and confirmations. You won't want to miss an invitation to a top paying survey simply because you didn't see it. Some surveys are time sensitive so be sure to check you email often. Once they reach the limit for that survey the link will be dropped.
**Be sure to confirm your welcome email** If you do not confirm the welcome email they will not send you any surveys to take.
**Be sure to complete your user profile** Completing the profiles will help them match you with more surveys faster.
**Be sure to check you SPAM folders also. I have had several paying surveys end up in my SPAM folder.
**Be sure to sign up with all the survey sites listed to increase the amount of survey invitations you receive in your email. Some sites will only send surveys when they have one to match your profile. Some sites send out daily, weekly or monthly surveys.
**Don't pass up a survey site that only rewards you in points. Those points can usually be converted into cash or gift cards later once you reach the payout level.
**Don't pass up on the "get paid to" sites that offer surveys and other FREE ways to make money. Some sites have a low payout and pay daily by paypal. If you don't have a paypal account you can get one here. <PAYPAL> These are a good source of surveys and freebies and worth a look at.
