Make Money Taking Online Surveys

Posted: 26 Feb 2008 02:23 AM CST


Yes, I’m here to tell you it is true you can make money taking online surveys. Over the last two years I have made close to $100,000 just by taking online surveys. Let me explain why I was able to do so well, and why surveys are so rewarding. Companies constantly need to adapt their marketing strategies. Public opinion changes throughout time and marketing campaigns from the 1980s would have little or no success today. You better believe that before shooting a television commercial, a company will polls test groups on their thoughts and opinions. It really all comes own to a simple concept- give the public what they want, and they will be intrigued and more likely to buy a product. Now here is the key theme-many companies are willing to pay people to be in these test groups. Why? The companies know they will get a huge return on their investment. Spend a “little money” to reward small test groups, and make a boatload of money by selling more of the product or service being promoted. With the explosion of the Internet over the last decade, it is very easy to become part of a “test group”. You can sign up for survey programs, answer questions, give your opinion, take polls all get rewarded for your time. The best part is you can make money taking online surveys from the comfort of your living room (you can even just sit there in underwear and a t-shirt if you desire).

Here are one key things to remember before diving in. As with most things in life, your reward is based on the amount of time and effort you put into your work. I don’t want you to expect to answer a two question survey and get paid $1,000. If that was the case I would be living in the Cayman Islands right now, sipping mojitos all day. If you don’t have the time to dedicate to surveys, it is not going to be worth it in the end.
