How to Get PAID to Take Online Surveys

We've all heard it before-- sign up at this website and I'll tell you how to get paid for taking online surveys if you pay me... Well, I'll tell you how to get paid to take online surveys, and I'll tell you how for FREE.

Those websites that tell you that you can make $1000 or more a month aren't necessarily full of it--but the average will most always be much less than that. I have been invited to $100 surveys before, but they are few and far between. How much you make really depends on how many different companies you sign up with, how many of the surveys you are offered that you actually complete, and most of all, your demographics. Sorry, but some people's opinions are just more popular than others. I've found that men tend to get at least 1 1/2 times more surveys than women, and anyone in the age group of 18-24 tends to be sought after as well. If you aren't a man or under 24 years old that doesn't mean you won't get offered surveys-- quite the opposite actually. EVERYONE will get offered surveys from some company at some point. Many companies offer multiple per day, so don't worry.  

Survey companies all are a little bit different. Some pay with checks, PayPal, point systems, gift certificates, drawing entries or "stuff". It is always good to know what you're getting out of a survey before you take it. For example, a survey that offers only an entry to the company's monthly drawing that takes 45 minutes to complete-- is it worth it? Probably not. Getting the most out of taking surveys will be up to you to make the best decisions. Here are some guidelines to help you:

1. Read the email offer. Many people don't even skim the email offer and simply delete an offer for a drawing entry survey that may actually tell you that by completing you will qualify for an at home trial of a product.
2. Product Trial Surveys. If you get asked to do a product trial, most of the products you receive will be one or two FULL SIZE products, just like you would purchase in a store. Then, after a specified amount of time, the company will PAY you to give them your feedback on the item they sent you. Most often these seem to be body lotions, shampoo and conditioner, and food items.
3. Sign up with as many companies as you can. The more company databases you're in, the more surveys you will qualify to complete and get paid for!
4. Complete the surveys you are sent IF they are worth it. Many companies will stop sending  survey offers if you don't complete 3 or more surveys in a row. NOT all companies will do this.
5. Always complete ALL of your profile surveys. Most companies have profile surveys they ask you to fill out after you sign up so that they can match you with appropriate paid surveys. Usually the profile surveys are not paid, but if you do not complete them you will not receive very many if any paid surveys.
   

All of the survey companies in my list are verified as being LEGITIMATE paid survey companies. These survey companies all offer benefits of some type for completing their surveys, and follow through when you request payout. They are in the order I recommend, from the best and most profitable to work for to those who offer fewer surveys.
