What can be simpler and more tempting than sittingat home, to answer simple questions and get paid for it? Paid surveys - this is another way of earning on the Internet, which attracts so many topics that does not require any specific knowledge and skills. Virtually all newcomers are trying their hand at this field. So what kind of questionnaires need to be filled and can you make money on the Internet when answering questions?

Who needs paid surveys?

In order to launch a new product on the market,any manufacturer is forced to spend a lot of money. They go for the purchase of new equipment, the purchase of raw materials, and later, and for the advertising company. Therefore, manufacturers want to be sure that the new product will be in demand, and the invested funds will pay off and bring profit. How can I get this information? The answer is simple - to conduct a survey. And, of course, with the development of the Internet, it became much easier. But how to get people to answer the questions of interest to the company? Who wants to spend their personal time, which could be used for much more interesting cases? In order to interest people and such a method was invented - a paid questionnaire. In gratitude for the time spent, the company pays a small reward. Most serious manufacturers prefer to go for such expenses. This avoids the huge losses that can occur if the launched product or service is unclaimed.

Where to begin?

Of course, in order to start participating in thepolls you need to register on a special website. And it is better not on one, but on several. Russian-speaking companies conducting paid surveys have appeared relatively recently and, unfortunately, there are not so many of them. Nevertheless, this has its pluses. Having chosen the company you like, you can always find user reviews about it. Before you start the cooperation, carefully study all the information. Be sure to review the "black lists". Very good, if you know English - then you can cooperate with foreign companies. In the west, marketing research has become widespread and, as a consequence, the number of companies is much larger, and the payment for them is more attractive. Fill in the profile. Maximum full specify all the information about yourself, which is required from you on the site. Take this moment very seriously. Specify age, sex, education, specialty. Be sure to tell us about your hobbies.

What for it is necessary?

In order for you - or rather, your data - toapproach as many surveys as possible. When choosing respondents - the one who will answer questions - the so-called "target audience" is defined. What it is? The target audience are people who may be interested in a particular product or service. For example, if you indicate that you do not have pets, you will no longer participate in feed surveys or accessories for "beasts." If you do not have a driver's license - all questionnaires associated with the car, "pass by", etc. After passing the registration, you only need to check your mailbox and wait for the questionnaires to arrive. It is recommended to do this at least once a day. This is due to the fact that most of the polls are completed automatically, as soon as the required number of answers specified by the customer is typed. Of course you have to try to get to this number. In order to check new invitations it was easier and more convenient, it is recommended to specify the same email on all sites. However, you should not expect that you will receive 15-20 profiles daily. Well, if one company will send you 3-5 polls per month.

Introductory questions

Usually, before you start a paid survey, youoffer to answer a few more - as a rule, no more than five - additional introductory questions. This is not the beginning of the questionnaire! Thus, once again, you will find out whether you are in the same "target audience" and whether your opinion can be of interest to the customer. If you want to be among the respondents, you should take into account some of the nuances:

If the question is asked in the preliminary questionnaire,whether you or one of your relatives in certain industries - usually called advertising, the media, public relations - is better to answer negatively.

It is not encouraging that the lastmonth you have already been a member of several online surveys. According to the rules of marketing research, the same person should not participate in the survey too often.

When answering questions about who in your family decides about certain purchases, it makes sense to say that it's you who are doing it.

On the question of whether you are planning to buy anything in the near future, it is also better to respond positively.

Simply put, when conducting a customer survey, the opinion of potential buyers is of interest.

How to fill in the questionnaire?

If you successfully pass this selection, youprovide a questionnaire for completion. Answer the questions quite simply - you will be given options for answers. Your task is to choose the one that suits you and put a "tick" in front of it. Fill in the questionnaire carefully - do not rush and always read the question to the end. Do not answer "at random", but do not "hang" over the question for too long. If there is a lack of information, use the same Internet and clarify the unclear points. Quite often in the same questionnaire there are the same questions, but with different formulations. Thus, the company checks your honesty and attentiveness. It is clear that if the answers to them are different, then your opinion will simply not be interesting to the company and the questionnaire will not be sent to you.

Symptoms of fraud

Unfortunately, when filling in the questionnaires alsothere is a risk of "running into" scammers. How can you recognize them? Perhaps the most obvious sign of deception can be considered paid registration on the site. The respondent should not pay any money. On the contrary, money pays to him. Should be alarming and advertisements with promises of unprecedented earnings. If you see the slogans: "Earn $ 150 a day without leaving your house", "Easy earnings", "How to earn $ 2000 a month" and the like - most likely you will not get a penny. With extreme caution, you should treat sites where you are asked to enter your phone number and confirm activation - this is also one of the signs that "the matter is unclean".

"Golden" or "platinum" packages

Another type of fraud is the offerbuy so-called "gold" or "platinum" packages. Moreover, sometimes the price for such a package exceeds $ 100. What is the meaning of this proposal? The earnings in foreign Internet companies engaged in conducting surveys are much larger than in Russian-speaking. "Playing" on this, the intermediaries offer you to buy a package of documents that supposedly help to register on foreign websites and, as a result, start making big money. What is "help" and what is included in these "packages"? The fact is that, as a rule, Western companies are not interested in the opinion of Russian or other Russian-speaking consumers. They are clearly focused on their market. They are important and interesting opinion of Americans or Europeans. To solve this problem, "helpers" are going to the trick. The package, as a rule, includes:

• lists of foreign Internet companies conducting paid surveys;
• recommendations for completing questionnaires in English;
• "the most important thing"! - "useful information" about how you can deceive the company by "pretending" to be an American.

First, these actions are simpleillegal and cheating will quickly open. But even if you do not consider this side of the issue, then the expected benefits from such a proposal - as a rule, promise $ 75-100 a day - you still do not get. Why? Everything is very simple. You will not receive the application form every day. Western marketing companies are very serious about the questionnaire and clearly follow certain rules. According to these rules, the same person should not be involved in surveys too often. Therefore, if you have already successfully completed 2-3 questionnaires, then the following questions will have to wait a long time - sometimes several months. In addition, Western businessmen perfectly know how to count money. Therefore, earning, filling in a light questionnaire is problematic enough. High fees are offered only for very specific surveys. The price for usual questionnaires though differs from that offered by Russian-speaking sites, but is not so high, as the sellers of "miracle packages" promise to you. There is another problem - most companies pay by check. And not so long ago, the Americans adopted a law toughening the procedure for their cashing. Therefore, it is very likely that you simply can not get your "honestly earned" or it will be associated with such problems and costs that the withdrawal of money will simply lose its meaning.

Summing up

Filling out the questionnaire can be made. This is not a myth or a lie. However, counting on the fact that participation in paid surveys will be the main source of income still is not worth it. This simple and easy method is good as a small additional earnings. In addition, participation in questionnaires conducted by foreign companies helps to "tighten up" English. Do it or not - it's up to you. But, in the end, we must start somewhere! We advise you to read:
