Want to know how online surveys work? Well, I’ll tackle the subject for you! To sell better, companies invest large sums in market research. This market research is done on the internet through polling institutes. Internet users are asked to answer a series of questions. By answering these questions, it is possible to be paid in return. We are talking about paid online surveys.
Good question ! A paid online survey is actually a commercial survey conducted by specialized websites. It is carried out at the request of a given commercial enterprise and aims to find out the opinion of consumers taking part in this survey on a product that already exists or will soon be on the market.
The purpose of this survey is to enable these companies to improve. When you participate in this survey, you can be rewarded with cash, or check cards or vouchers. The money is transferred to your bank account or to your PayPal electronic wallet.
First, you need to register on an online paid survey site. Note that it is possible to register on several online paid survey websites and registration is free. You will be asked for information about yourself to establish your profile. You will have to be precise about the information to be quickly selected and start earning money.
After validation of your registration, you will receive by email containing a questionnaire corresponding to your profile. Some questionnaires are not sent by email but can be found directly on the firm’s website. In general, compensation is based on the survey offered.
The duration of a survey can be from 5 to 25 minutes. Knowing that the surveys are paid, you will have to be quick and precise so as not to be blocked at the first questions and no longer be able to continue. There are also trick questions that appeal to your conscience.
Just be honest in your answers (I would have warned you)! Respond to other surveys at the same time on other online paid survey websites, because remember that you are paid according to the chosen survey.
In general, paid survey websites pay by the accumulated points system. The points are then converted into money to be withdrawn. Some sites pay at the end of the survey and others want you to reach a certain threshold before receiving your due. Depending on your choice, the money will be transferred to your bank account or you will receive a check. Some sites give out vouchers.
It is not easy to give an exact sum for the price of a paid online survey because the number of questions that a questionnaire can include varies from one survey to another. Generally the remuneration varies between 0.3 and 5 euro.
I give you some advice to avoid being scammed: You should never register on a paid survey site that asks you for money on registration. Avoid sites that ask for your credit card number. Also avoid websites that offer you huge payouts. Do research to choose credible sites and work regularly to earn more.
