Making Money With Online Surveys

Want to know more about making money with online surveys.  

Is it the easy way to get rich just by sitting at your computer in your pajamas and painlessly filling out online surveys?

Not really.

Those claims you may have heard about easy money are pushing it. You need to realize that most online surveys that take 15 minutes will pay two dollars, that’s not a lot of money. Even if you work your tail off, that comes out to a paltry $8 an hour.

The first step to success with online surveys is to ask yourself why you are doing this. Is it to make some extra money or are you going to pay the bills with this online income? (Making this your full-time job could be dangerous.)

Once you know why you are doing this, get organized. It would be a good idea to set-up a new e-mail address (Yahoo or Gmail for example) dedicated to online survey offers. You'll also want to turn off any spam filters to ensure that all the survey offers are getting through to you.

Now you need to sign-up for the surveys. Should you pay $35 for one of those directories? Heck no! Most of those are $cams. The best way is to simply go to Google and search for "paid survey." There's your list and you just saved $35!

When you sign-up for each account, you'll have to fill out a profile. It's important to fill this out completely and honestly so that you get notified about compatible surveys. Depending on your circumstances, you could be bombarded with surveys or just find a couple each week.

Here's the key: Sign-up for as many survey sites as you can find! Don't expect to get unlimited survey options after signing-up with two or three sites. Again, this is the most crucial step!

Now wait a day or two and see what happens. If you don't get many offers, you might have to rethink any plans of getting rich by doing this!

Here's the second most important step. Check your email often! Take the survey as soon as you see it. It's not uncommon for a survey to fill up within a day. (Remember, there are lots of people out there doing exactly what you are.)

Once you get going, you could easily lose track of what you are doing. The first thing to do is get a PayPal account linked to your survey email address. Some places (like GoZing) will pay by PayPal. Not only is this faster and more convenient than a check, it keeps a record of your earnings in one place.

Another thing is to have a hi-speed internet connection. Quite a few surveys have you watch short videos like movie trailers. Also, use Internet Explorer for your browser. Some survey software is not supported in the Firefox browser.

Now that that is settled, want to make even more money? Try focus groups. These are more personal and involved than the surveys, but the payout is considerably greater.

Well, there's nothing left but to sign-up, get organized, and start making money with online surveys. Good luck and make lots of money!
