Be Lazy. It Pays! (When You Take Surveys for Money)
Written by Hailey Gates on March 12th, 2010
Today, people are starting to be concerned about prices going up. As a result, they think of ways they might be able to make extra money at home. And now with the Internet, you can make money simply and quickly with just a few clicks. Believe me? Have you ever heard of taking surveys for money?
How do you earn cash by taking surveys? It’s actually quite simple. Surveys are conducted by companies all over the world to find out today’s buying trends. These surveys are one of the primary ways that large companies determine what consumer desire. So they ask people to answer the surveys and in return, pay them generous payouts.
Don’t think that answering surveys to earn money is a lame job. Your opinions are valuable. You, as a survey taker, represent the needs of the consumer. With these surveys, you can tell these companies what you want -what the people need!
You might be wondering how much would you get from taking paid surveys. You probably won’t replace your day job, but it’s enough to make the ends meet each month. Each survey you take can pay from around $5 to $25 (sometimes more). So you if you apply yourself, you can make from $500 to $1500 each month. You can make even more than that, depending on how many surveys you take. Not a bad supplemental income is it?
The process of taking surveys starts with signing up with legitimate marketing research sites. You can get a free list of these companies at sites like SurveyMoneyMachine.com and SurveyProfits.com (quick note here-don’t pay for this service-many sites charge you $34.95 or more for a list of paying survey sites, but Survey Money Machine and Survey Profits give away the list for free). Don’t freak out if you are asked to provide your personal information. Legitimate survey sites will need you to put in your profile like your name, age, address, etc. Just a reminder though, if a site asked you to provide your credit card information or to pay any amount, don’t!
The profile you created will be the basis of the kind of surveys that will be sent to you, so every question in your survey will be basically relevant to you. So I suggest that you create your profile and sign up with as many survey sites as possible for you to be chosen for more surveys. Then you just wait for your surveys to come (they will be sent to you via the email address you provided). I recommend that you check your email often to update and answer your surveys soon because the best ones are sometimes closed quickly-sometimes within hours of the time of opening.
There is a point system in answering paid surveys. Each survey is equivalent to a certain number of points. Those points accumulate until you reach the payout requirement -and that depends on your paid survey company. Many paid survey sites will only allow you to cash out your points if you have accumulated $100. In addition, some paid survey sites give you the options to turn your points into cash, merchandise, or gift certificates.
Seriously, taking paid surveys is a huge opportunity to earn extra money from home. It is also something you can be proud of because you get to voice your opinions about the way products are designed. It’s a great feeling to know that, in the comfort of your own home, you are helping to improve products we all use. Plus you get to earn money!
