When it comes to making money online, there are lots of ads and
websites that claim you can make money by taking paid surveys online. It
sounds quit interesting, getting paid to take surveys! But can you
really make money taking paid surveys? If yes, how much can you expect
to make? Is it really worth it?
Paid surveys are a way for companies and manufacturers to gather
feedback and information from consumers that will help them improve
their products and services. For that, companies and manufacturers hire
market research companies and pay them to conduct market research on
their behalf. In order to get consumers to give their feedback about
products and services they use to offer compensation in from of cash,
gift certificate or variety of prizes.
The good thing is that you do not need to spend a dime to make money.
Another great thing is that unlike most other online money making
methods you dont need any experience or skills to succeed.
You can expect to be paid for anywhere from $1 for a 10 minuets
survey to up to $75 or more for a 45 minuets survey. But, on average it
takes about 15 minuets to be completed, and it pays around $3. Obviously
you might not qualify for every invitation you receive. But if you
register with more than one or two websites, you can increase the
chances of getting invited, which ultimately increases the amount of
money you can make.
The one thing you need to know is that most people aren t able to
make thousands of dollars a month as some people would like to believe.
However it is not that hard to make a couple of hundred dollars a month.
Of course if you have more free time on your hand, you can register
with more paid survey sites and double or triple your earnings. Also,
some times you will get invited to online focus groups that take about
an hour or so, but pay up to $200.
The most important thing you also need to know, is that there are
many scams out there. So, always be sure to do some research about the
site you want to register with and verify their legitimacy. There are
many online forums and blogs where you can find more information. Take
advantage of them and the free information they provide to protect
yourself.
In a nutshell, paid surveys offer a simple and free way for you to
make money online. Of course, like all money making methods, whether or
not you succeed depends heavily on your effort.
