Paid Survey Review - Can You Really Make Money?

Using online surveys will have pros and cons about the complete process of how they work and what you (the person taking the survey) will get out of the deal good or bad. Survey sites work with multiple different companies of all sizes and advertising networks that will offer you surveys to complete. The paid survey site will find a company who wants to have their members or users try their product or service. When a member of that survey site completes their offer through the survey site the company will report the completion to the site and when verified the survey site will credit your account.

The beginning step into taking these surveys is to become a member of that site. If you are serious about taking surveys then make sure all info is true. False info could keep you from making any money with this site. Inside the site you will see the surveys and the price you will get paid if you do the survey by the sites rules.

Here are a few things that go hand in hand when you start taking the surveys.

Personal Information:
Each survey will need info about you if you chose to try the product. The info needed is usually Name, age and gender and some will ask for telephone number and address if they want to contact you are send offers to your house. Most sites have a minimum of how many offers you must take in each survey to comply with their guidelines to get paid. The companies that are giving the survey will try the e-mail, Phone# and all other info you gave and they will report if this info is true or false.

Types of surveys:
Some of the different types of surveys that you can take are education, cruise line, gas, credit report and the list is far from over. One thing I would suggest is to make a separate e-mail acct for these surveys. Reason being that they will all send you random e-mails everyday sometimes 2 and 3 times a day about current offers and deals and updates on anything pertaining to the company. Also home mail will increase with coupons, flyers and event info for the survey you filled out. The same effect will come in phone calls, if you put a phone number down for a law office that does traffic tickets they will call you within 24hrs.

How you get paid:
Your time is money and with on-line surveys "YES" you will get paid for doing this. The guidelines might be different from one company to the next but the majority will have these.

Minimum payout - The Company will have a set dollar amount in order to send out a check. If the minimum payout is $20, then you will need to take surveys until you have earned $20.

Taxes - no taxes are taken out of the check ever so what you see in your member screen will be the check you get. Options to get paid - Some of the ways I have received payment are a debit card to a store, check in the amount I earned and some use pay pal so if you have an acct you can transfer the money like cash to your account.
