Earn money online taking surveys for beginners
If you are new to paid surveys, you may be wondering how can I start making money taking online surveys? This article is a beginner’s guide to paid surveys and be sure to follow my step-by-step guidelines below to get started quickly and on the right foot.
1. Keep this in mind: don’t pay anyone to do paid online surveys in any way. It is usually FREE to do paid surveys and earn money. Authorized paid survey and market research firms do not charge you, in fact they pay you for your opinion.
2. Create a dedicated email account. You will receive many emails and need a separate email address for survey invitation emails. Note: You will need to turn off your spam filter or set spam filter option not to delete emails in spam folder instantly, normally you may miss survey emails.
3. You might want to open a free PayPal account. Various survey sites provide their payment through PayPal. It’s 100% free to send money and 100% free to accept payment if you have a basic account, low transaction fees are used for Premier and Business accounts to get money, and it’s usually faster than paying by cheque.
4. Sign up with every real online survey company you can find, starting with the top 10 cash paying survey panels. Be sure to verify your survey panel membership. This often involves clicking the link in the confirmation email from the survey panel after registration. This is an essential step to register. I recommend that you take the time to subscribe to ALL genuine survey sites you can find. The cause is very simple, the more survey sites you sign up for, the more survey invitations you get.
5. Suggestions for avoiding scams.
A. If you come across a survey site, be sure to check their policy. If you are unhappy with the privacy or they don’t have an online privacy policy, avoid them.
b. Take note of the main difference between paid survey sites and get paid signup offer web pages. The latter often declare that they are survey sites, in fact their main activity is paid offers. These are the places where you get paid for registering offers, and often you have to pay or offer credit card data while signing up for free offers.
vs. Avoid paid or free websites with known scams or spam. Typically these sites say they have a list of over 300, 400 or even 500 paying survey sites, the fact is there are NOT THREE HUNDRED paying survey sites!) They don’t that market anything they can find for commissions regardless of its scam or spam and not trustworthy.
6. Tips for conducting surveys.
A. Be authentic with your personal profile details when joining survey companies.
b. Respond quickly to survey invitations. Many surveys have a quota and lots of quick fills, especially paid and quick to qualify surveys.
7. Tips for getting paid.
Be sure to save invitation emails for surveys you meet the requirements for and have completed, especially those in the online interactive survey focus group. You want to have proof of your involvement when there is a problem.
8. Be patient.
This is very essential for survey newbies. It may take a while to receive the money as many survey sites have a minimum payment requirement and it will take time for them to process the payment. Likewise, it takes some time to acquire more surveys. For me personally, I didn’t get any type of money or other benefits in the 1st month, I had several points or such but not much to cash out, and the money only started coming in at the end of the second month. It was also shortly after two months that I started obtaining and meeting the criteria for additional surveys, incorporating these higher end surveys such as online surveys and targeted organizations.
Doing paid surveys doesn’t help me get rich, but I enjoy it. Thanks to the money I earned last year, I bought myself a brand new laptop! I also bought toys, DVDs, gifts, books and other products for my child, wife and family members. Paid surveys are definitely an easy and fun way to increase cash spending, and it’s totally worth it!
