Because so many people come online wondering how to make
money doing online surveys, I thought I would write an
article about it. I'm not going to list any specific
companies by name, but will give you a few ideas on how you
can get started if that's what you want to do.
The paid survey industry has gotten a bad rap in recent
years, in my opinion. I say that from experience, because I
have actually done paid surveys and gotten paid for those.
I think the key is in how you approach it.
For years now there's been several interviews online with a
gal named Deborah Kesey. She's a real person that has made
money for over 30 years doing surveys and participating in
consumer opinion groups. It seems to me that finding other
people who have really made money has been like documenting
a Bigfoot sighting.
What I did was I started going into discussion forums and
found several that contained the threads specifically aimed
at paid surveys. I was amazed at the number of people who
are making several hundred dollars a month, and one gal
even claim to have made $1400 in December of 2007.
I personally accessed a couple of companies to get their
database of survey companies I could work for. Today thanks
to the Internet this is very easy to do and you will have
no end to the amount of work you can participate in if you
choose to.
There are surveys that pay anywhere from $.25, to $10 and
up. There are discussion groups you can participate in and
earn even larger sums of money such as $30 or $50 or more.
Another way that I found to make money is to actually sell
leads to the survey companies. I feel good about this
because it is possible to refer people and help them get
started making money completing paid surveys online without
paying for a list.
This kind of goes back to the old philosophy of whether you
are an actual worker or want to make your money selling the
tools. It really comes back to your personality, but it is
possible to make money doing online surveys both ways.
If you have any doubt whether you're being taken advantage
of I came across a website called ripoff report, which
contains as I write this links to 56 complaints about paid
survey companies. I'm not saying that all of these are
legitimate, but that in fact they are listed on this
website here: http://www.ripoffreport.com/default.asp
The bottom line is you do not need to pay for a database of
survey companies. And if you're willing to work and treat
it as a business you really can make extra money at home
doing online surveys.
