Paid Online Survey Introduction

Companies hire online survey companies to do surveys for them. The companies do so because they want to gauge how the market feels about given products, ads, ideas, etc. So, the paid online survey companies create surveys and then hunt for survey participants.

The survey companies will not try to sell you anything.

An online survey is simply a list of questions presented on a form. Typically, the online surveys you'll do consist mostly of yes/no and multiple choice questions.

The online survey companies need a constant stream of survey participants.

And that's where you enter the picture.

Steps to take to get a paid online survey...

1) Click the links to survey companies that we provide (free to join).

2) You are immediately transported right to their FREE registration/sign up form. Generally, the sign up forms are 1 page in length (some are longer). You just enter in your name, address, etc. and then click Submit.

3. After you click the form's Submit button, the survey company will email you a confirmation letter (usually immediately after you submit the sign up form). Open up that email and click the appropriate link inside. This confirms that you wish to do surveys for the survey company in question.

If you do not get the survey company's email, be sure to check your "Bulk", "Junk", "Spam", or "Trash" folders just in case the confirmation email ends up there. More on that later.

4) When a survey campaign comes up that fits your criteria (age range, geographic location, etc.), the survey company will EMAIL you an invitation to do a survey for pay (what I call the survey invitation).

You just click the link in that survey invitation email and you'll be taken to the survey (which is a form with questions). Just click the appropriate answers.

You will not always be accepted to do a survey for them. Try not to get discouraged. They'll send other survey invitations. Patience and persistence is one thing that separates the successful survey doers from the others.

So, what does a survey look like? What do you do when confronted by a survey?

Most questions are yes/no and multiple choice. You just use your mouse to click the answer that best represents your view. Go with your first thought. Don't make it hard.. surveys are quite easy. As I said before: These aren't tests, so don't panic. There are no wrong answers (provided you stick to the question!).

In many cases you can check the "No answer" of "Don't know" box.

Here's a sample survey

1. During the past 7 days have you had any tea to drink?

Yes
No

2. How many cups of tea do you usually (on average)  drink during the week?

None
1-2
3-5
6+

You simply mouse-click the boxes that best represents your views.

Open ended questions where you type in your answer.

Some times surveys will include "open ended" questions where you'll need to type in an answer. In some cases you can leave it blank. Just don't sweat it... it isn't a test. Some people freeze up at the sight of a open ended question. Just write whatever comes to mind. One or two sentences ought to suffice.

They're looking for ideas, not scholarly essays.

I've found it best just to answer with one sentence bullets (as I've done so here) instead of essay style.
