You Can Get Paid to Do Surveys!
August 29, 2009
A large majority of the producers of goods and services in a developed economy wholesale their products to distributors and do not have direct contact with their ultimate customers, the consumers. This creates an awkward problem for them. They MUST know what the people who actually buy their products in supermarkets, department stores, etc. are thinking.
To solve this problem they hire experts in marketing research to get answers for them. The market researchers use surveys to measure consumer opinion. Thousands of such surveys are being made online every day. So how do they get “volunteers” to take the time to answer all those surveys? They make it worth their while by paying survey participants for their time and opinions.
That’s how you have the opportunity to participate in paid market research.
O.K. So how does this work, exactly? What must you do to get paid to do surveys?
In order to get in you have to be invited to participate. The way you get invited is to get your name and demographic data on file with a number of good survey makers, the people who actually send out the surveys, the ones who maintain lists of prospective survey participants.
There are over 700 of these survey makers in the U.S. and over 3000 worldwide. Some are better than others. Some are a LOT better! About 20% are top level, that only offer legitimate paid online surveys that pay well, pay on time and respect your privacy. The next 40% are second level, don’t pay as well but are still O.K. The lower 40% will just waste your time.
O.K. So just how do you find the good survey makers and avoid the time-wasters?
The best way is through a paid survey membership site that maintains current lists of good survey makers. There are 200+ of these. Visit a reliable paid online surveys review site to compare the leaders and choose the best. Just click on the link in this paragraph to start…
