Most people know what a consumer survey is but do they know they can get paid for answering opinion surveys? If by chance they participate in a paid survey and receive a paycheck in their mailbox, they are thrilled by their discovery. They understand that paid surveys are a great way to earn extra money at their spare time and they just regret they didn’t start earlier…
Today, at the Internet age, it is easier than ever to make extra cash with paid surveys and mystery shopping jobs. To help you have a clear picture of this opportunity, we have summarized the main reasons why you should start taking paid surveys today.
1. Money
Paid surveys are not new. Opinion research has been used for decades by marketers as a way to explore customer needs and every year companies and institutions spend billions of dollars on consumer research. The reason is simple: The better they understand us as consumers, the more money they can make.
Because they need to know what consumers like and want, companies are willing to pay for our opinions.
There are companies that will pay you up to:
* $75 to take online surveys
* $250 to participate in focus groups
* $120 per hour to take phone surveys
* $50 per assignment to participate in shopping surveys
Let me make myself perfectly clear. I don’t claim here that you will make $250 an hour all day and every day… But from experience I know that you can easily earn extra money every
month, working at your spare time, with hundreds of online paid surveys and mystery shopping jobs that are sent directly to your email. Sometimes you will also receive an invitation for a 1-2 hours focus group (a personal interview conducted among a small number of individuals) that can pay as high as $250 per session!
To give you a rough estimate of the money you can earn with online surveys, focus groups and mystery shopping jobs, we can say that anyone who is actively registered with at least 300 top market research companies should have no trouble earning an extra $500-$1000 per month working at it part-time. Top performers that stick with it for long and work full time can make up to $5000 per month!
2. It’s real FUN!
Participating in paid online surveys isn’t a boring job requesting every day to complete a routine task. On the contrary, you will be involved in very diversified assignments dealing with new products you will test before they hit the market, new technologies that are still in R&D labs, original perspectives on existing products, new marketing concepts etc. You will be exposed to many topics that are new for you and you will better understand what’s going around you as a citizen and as a consumer. After taking many paid surveys, you will look at prices, brands, product design, customer service etc in a different way and you will enjoy your special view on all these matters.
You will also have a better look at yourself! What I especially like when I take online surveys is that I better know myself after I take these surveys! Market research companies elaborate consumer profiles to discover consuming patterns and when you answer these surveys you are better aware of our own way of looking at things… In a word, you better understand you own personality! What’s your diet personality? What’s your money personality? What’s your stress personality? What’s your dream personality? and so on… How much would you pay to know such things about yourself? When you take surveys, you won’t pay nothing! You will get paid for answering surveys and you will broaden your understanding of the world around you and the world within you!
With focus groups, you will be invited to spend 1-2 hours with a small group of 6 to 12 people to discuss a product, a service, a brand or any other marketing concept. Participants can be paid up to $250 and the meeting is typically held in pleasant surroundings and refreshments are served. During this group session there is interplay of thoughts and ideas to get insights on attitudes and perceptions held by consumers. These discussions are very animated and very interesting. That’s real fun and great money.
Mystery shopping assignments are a special type of marketing research. You are paid to shop at the mall or to eat at restaurants! All you need to do is filling out a questionnaire on your customer experience. We all shop, and many of us enjoy shopping. But very rarely do we get paid for it! Mystery shopper jobs give us this opportunity: Earning extra income just for shopping and filling out a questionnaire! It’s a fun job that pays real cash. You can earn money to shop in your favorite stores, to eat in your favorite restaurants, to drive a car, to see a movie at your local theater or to play golf!
Beside the money, online paid surveys, focus groups and mystery shopping jobs will bring a lot of fun in your life.
3. You can enjoy a very Cool Lifestyle
* You can do it Full-Time or Part-Time. It’s Your Choice!
Paid surveys invitations and mystery shopping assignments are sent to you by email and you can take as many or as few as you want. You can do it full-time or part-time. You decide how much time you want to devote to paid surveys and shopping jobs and you
can work whenever you’d like: morning, noon, night… midnight if you’d like.
* You are Your Own Boss
This kind of work is entirely voluntary and you have no boss looking at your performances all the day. It is all up to you if you want to participate in a survey or not. Nobody will try
to force you to take a job if you don’t want and if you need a day off, just take it! You are your own boss! You will manage your work as you wish and you will benefit of 100% of your efforts.
* If you are a mom at home, you can schedule your work around your family’s needs, spending more quality time with your loved ones.
* If you are a student, you can answer surveys between lectures or before you do your homework. This is a great way to relax and have a little fun when you are tired of your college assignments.
* If you are a senior citizen, paid surveys and mystery shopping jobs will fill your free time with interesting activities and they will supplement your retired pay.
* If you decided to work from home, paid surveys and mystery shopping are just for you. You can work from the comfort of your home and you keep the flexibility to share your time as you want.
* If you are a full time employee and need an additional income, you can fill out online surveys and shopping questionnaires during pauses at work, on the evening or on your weekend. All your family can take paid surveys too so all the surveys taken add up in a cumulated income.
4. You Make Your Opinion Counts
* By answering the questions of legitimate survey researchers, you make your opinions known to the people who have the power to make the changes you want.
* Your answers to survey questions influence many decisions that affect you as a consumer and a citizen.
* Health care providers, government agencies, airlines, hotels, telecom companies and car dealerships are responding to your comments by improving their customer service.
For all these reasons, your opinion is in high demand and you can make a difference when you participate in paid surveys.
5. It is easy to get started
* No experience or special skills are required
No special background is needed to participate in consumer research. If you are a consumer, your opinion counts and you qualify to take paid surveys and mystery shopping jobs. Every consumer is welcome.
* No special equipment is required
Taking surveys for money requires no special equipment other than access to a computer and email. If you know how to access the Internet and your email, you’re set.
* Professional databases have done all the hard work for you
Finding an excellent collection of legitimate and well-paid surveys isn’t an easy job. The most difficult part about making money with paid surveys is finding an extensive list of legitimate companies out of all the market research programs on the Internet. Some of these sites are scams – they don’t deliver their promises about cash and other incentives or they don’t keep your privacy and bombard you with unwanted advertising… The best way to avoid scams and to make the best of paid surveys and mystery shopping jobs is to join a professional database of paid opportunities that give you access to a wealth of legitimate opportunities.

What gives that motherfucker the right to tell me what I can put in my body. I ought to kick his ass.
Right on noisebed 420!
http://safesurveysites.com Its what I do and it's worked out pretty well. What you have to do is complete surveys and offers for companies that want the public's opinion. No payment from you is ever required, not to sign up, not EVER.
The sites don't get paid directly from you, but when you complete an offer or survey, they also get paid a small portion of what you earned yourself. For example, if you complete a survey about computers let's say, you would earn maybe $2 and the web site itself would recieve $0.50 from the company also for getting you to complete the survey. These surveys take little time at all, most taking up less than even 1 or 2 minutes of your time.
They don’t need any information other than your name, email address and your home address. Yup, that is all. No credit card information, no banking information, nothing like that. All they require is your name and address so that your cheque can be sent to your home every month.
Personally I have been a member of these websites, along with thousands of other satisfied users, for approximately 1.5 years now and have earned well over $8600 by working in my spare time. This web site has been great to me, also the members and administrator are very friendly, and are always there to help you with a question or problem you may be having. I give you my word that they pay.
I tried c a s h c r a t e . c o m (no spaces)
A lot of people say its good, but I didn't have enough patience to complete enough offers to make it worth my while.
I have a different online job.
If you are 18 and interested email me and I will give you the details. No fees or costs ever. No phone calls. No inventory. All you need is internet access.
salvia = mind rape.
Most cities have a requirement as to how close you can build to the property line. These are called set backs. You will probably need a survey to be sure your set back dimensions are correct.
You may also need a topographical survey to establish grade and assure the foundation is set at the proper elevation.
If the lot is sloped, you may also need a survey to get the drainage correct.
This is funny. Salvia isn’t even fun. I think they have much more important things they could be focusing on…I.E. THE COLLAPSE OF THE U.S. DOLLAR, REBUILDING AMERICAN INDUSTRY, MAYBE ENDING THE FUCKING WAR?!?!?!
can u actually overdose on salvia? i think it would be really fukin hard to ingest enough or want to– but meanwhile, how many ppl a day get their stomach pumped from alcohol? or choke on their own spew- or bash their families!!
Some do and some don't work. There's a couple differetn ways that you can tell if a survey site is a scam or not. One way is if you have to pay to join that website, than it's going to be a scam 99% of the time. Another way you can tell is if that site doesn't have any kind of payment proof, than that's probably because they don't really pay their members.
But I've tried just about every site out there and the best site that have actually paid me is,
http://tu.nu/ZB7y
I've already made $1100+ in cash & prizes without spending a penny.
*******US, UK, & CANADA ONLY*******
It’s free to join, they don't ask for your social security number, and you don't need a credit card like most other sites. You don't need to refer a single person in order to receive any of your prizes/payments. And most importantly, it's not a SCAM and I can prove it. But you can get paid by check, you can have the money sent instantly to your PayPal account ($1 min.), E-Gold account, Alert account, Liberty Reserve account, or you can spend your points that you earn to buy anything you want on Amazon.
A few ways that you can earn points by completing offers, surveys, playing games or referring other people. But most of the offers are quick, very easy to do, and 100% Free.
*******VERY IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ*******
Your account will be blocked if you create multiple accounts or if you sign-in on another ip address. All of your Cash & Points earned will be lost.
STEPS FOR SIGNING UP
1. Copy/Paste http://tu.nu/ZB7y
2. Click on the banner that says, "It's Fun and Free Sign Up."
3. Fill out the information with your valid name/address/email etc. (So that way they know where & who to ship your prizes/payments. Once you're done they'll send you an email that you'll need to confirm in order to participate.
4. Don't forget, you get 250 points for free!!! Use that 250 points to order the "Dollar Prize" for 144 points. This will verify your account and take you to the bronze level. Also, you should at least try one offer to show you that it really works!

If you put "poll" in front of a question, the Yahoo team won't remove it.
So I ask a lot of "polls".
Senator Stevens should watch videos of people who are piss drunk, maybe he’d ban alcohol from North Carolina too. Oh wait, they tried that, didn’t they?
People over indulge on Alcohol for many reasons. Be it addiction, college frat parties, young and dumb, trying to drown their problems….etc. but I don’t know of anyone who drinks that thinks it is harmless, because it is legal. Do you think cigarettes are harmless too? It may be true that some do not know the danger they put themselves in but many do, and choose to do it anyway.
Like everyone else said, there'll always be that margin of error in any survey but in general I don't think they're very representative of the population. Case in point:

and

Hope that helps a bit dear. =)
This makes Salvia look so bad. I loved it, since it’s legal, for now.. in the U.S. It’s a short short high, but hits you fast, and you just drop.. lol good times..

The best way to do online paid surveys is to sign up with legitimate paid survey sites, the more the better, this way increase the chance you get surveys.
To do so you need to use a good paid survey list – the one I use is a site called mysurvey123.com and I also listed it in the source box) – they have free lists of legitimate paid survey sites with reviews and ratings, and articles of paid survey guide and advice and tips. They also have a message board, the webmaster and members of that site post good paying surveys and focus groups frequently. It is very helpful and should be able to help you get a quick and good start.
Just you know you won't make seven hundred by aug.1 just by taking surveys.
Some survey websites post surveys as their available and allow you to attempt to qualify, others will e-mail you specific surveys which are targeted for you. On average I receive 4 surveys within the course of two days per survey site. Less for some, more for others.
Similarly, they all send out payment differently.
Some survey websites such as pinecone research send you a check immediately after completing each survey, so you end up getting a whole bunch of 3 $ checks.
Most survey websites pay on demand however. They set up a minimum payout, 10$ on most sites, and once you hit at least 10$ you can request a check at any time you'd like.
And it's not only okay to apply for more then one survey website, it's EXACTLY what you want to do. The more survey websites you sign up for the more surveys you'll get. What you DON'T want to do is to sign up for the same survey site twice, because then you'll be cheating the particular company by filling out the same surveys twice. There's nothing that says you can't sign up for different companies (different websites) however – it's something I do and I make a lot more money that way.
There's a list of survey websites on this website – http://surveysafari.x10hosting.com/ – there's also a TON of tips on there as well as video tutorials which should help teach you the basics of using survey websites to make money.
Good luck!
