If you approach it right, you can make good money getting paid cash for online surveys. Free paid online surveys are a huge business on the Internet. There are thousands of surveys being made every single week. And tens of thousands of survey participants are cashing the checks they get in the mail each month.

You see, large companies spend over $200 billion each year on promotion. Several hundred million gets set aside for market research to find out what consumers like and don’t like, which advertising they have seen, what their buying habits are, etc. The market research people use surveys to measure this consumer opinion level.

And why would all those consumers take the time to give their demographic data and fill out the survey questionnaires? Well, they wouldn’t do it for free, so the market researchers make it worth their time and effort by paying them for completed questionnaires. Most online surveys are paid surveys.

Most surveys pay between $10 and $25 each. That’s not a lot of money, but take a couple of surveys per day for $10 and $25 and you will have over $1,000 coming to you at the end of the month! The surveys take 5 to 15 minutes to fill out, so you are getting paid well for your time…

The secrets to getting cash for online surveys and making money are:

1. Find good survey makers that offer legitimate paid online surveys that pay in cash or equivalent and on time. About 20% pay well, 40% pay regular amounts, not the best but still worthwhile, and 40% are no-pay/low-pay time wasters. You need to find the good ones.

2. Surveys are each aimed at a specific demographically defined group. Like single women 18-40 who live in the southeastern U.S. or similar designations. So you won’t qualify for too many surveys. Therefore you have to sign up with a lot of survey makers, like 150-200 or so.

Signing up is free and done online, but it must be done. There are over 800 survey makers in the U.S. alone (over 3,000 worldwide). They all compete with each other and don’t share lists, so you will need to apply to each one separately.

3. To maximize your cash for online surveys, run your survey work like a business. Set up a free e-mail account especially for that and check your e-mail at least once a day. Take all surveys offered to you, especially at first, to let the survey makers know you are serious.

The best way to get a good list of survey makers is to join a paid survey membership site that maintains lists of such survey makers for its membership. Look for one with a strong money-back guarantee and a low refund rate. A low refund rate means happy clients. High refund rates mean unhappy clients.
