Make Money With Survey Payoff Paid Surveys

Survey Payoff is not a paid survey site itself, but is rather a database of survey companies. Survey Payoff is about 1 year old so has been around for a little while and it is free to join although you do need to provide them with your email address.

Once logged in to Survey Payoff the pickings are fairly slim with only 22 survey sites listed. Obviously this site is only listing those survey panels that will pay them an affiliate fee for sign-ups because there are hundreds more survey sites out there.

Additionally, there is no help provided in the form of survey tips, articles or reviews. On a positive note I have not received any spam from them. Really there’s not much reason to join Survey Payoff when you already have access to over 300 paying survey sites right here at Paid Survey Success along with all of the other features and bonus information including tips and articles. I hope you enjoyed this Survey Payoff review.

Searching for ‘paid survey’ on Google will bring back millions of hits (including my site), but you don’t need millions of hits you only need one good paid survey site. With all of the information out there about paid surveys how can you tell the good sites from the bad sites? After reading this article you’ll know exactly what to look for and where to go to get good paid survey information without getting robbed in the process.

There are ways you can compare the paid survey sites and decide which ones are best for legit paid surveys. Here are 9 factors you should look at to evaluate paid survey websites.

1. Is the site charging for access to it’s list of paid survey sites? You shouldn’t EVER pay to get paid survey info that is freely available, it’s a waste of your hard earned money and unnecessary. This also applies to sites that want you to register with your name and email address to access their site. These sites just want to add your email to their list so they can spam you with more of their affiliate offers.

2. Is the site growing in popularity? You can find out by checking the site at http://www.alexa.com or http://www.quantcast.com/

3. Find out how long the website has been in existence. Paid survey sites will come and go. The best ones tend to have staying power. If a site has been around longer than one year it is most likely not a scam.

4. Is the website updated regularly? Check back in a week or two and see if anything has changed at the site or if it is just a static page of links. If changing are being made that’s good because it means the site owner is active in its maintenance and upkeep.

5. After narrowing down your list to two or three paid survey websites go and take a look at each one. See how many companies are listed and how easy it is to navigate the site. What you’re looking for is simply to determine which site will work best for you.

6. Get a new email account specifically for your paid surveys. All of your paid surveys should go to this address to keep them separate from your personal email. This will help you to focus and keep more organized.

7. Do your part. The paid survey site owner has given you the tool, the list of paid survey companies. Now you have to visit each paid survey site yourself and apply. Until the survey company has your complete registration and information they can’t send you surveys. Don’t hesitate, just do it.

8. Keep checking your email for new paid survey offers. Check multiple times a day if you can. It may be slow at first and you may get low paying offers, but stick with it. As the paid survey companies find out that you are reliable they will send you more surveys as well as higher paid surveys. This is when it really gets to be fun!

9. Be patient, because it will take some time to start receiving lots of offers and more importantly good offers. It also takes some time to start hitting the required minimum payments for the paid survey companies. Once you do though you’ll see that you can count on a steady income from paid surveys each month.

Following these 9 suggestions will put you ahead of 95% of the people that try to make money taking paid surveys. You will have found a legit and reliable paid survey site that works well for you and you’ll be organized as well. These are the rules I’ve followed for almost two years now and I know they work for me and for many others who have been successful making money taking paid surveys.

Watch For Paid Survey Scams

While you can find legitimate survey sites there are some paid survey scams out there to be aware of. Please keep in mind that for the most part the paid survey industry is completely legitimate. The problem is that there are some unscrupulous people out there trying to take advantage of those who are uninformed. Here are three tips that will help to keep you away from paid survey scams.

First: Don’t ever pay for membership to a paid survey site. Not EVER! You shouldn’t even have to give away your email address to get access or membership with a site. You can find all of the information you need about legitimate paid surveys for free on the internet. If you need to pay for a list of survey sites it is a paid survey scam. In fact, the market research companies that pay you to take the surveys NEVER ask you to pay to take their surveys. It would make their results biased and they take a very negative stance regarding sites that require you to pay them to access a list of paying survey sites. Even though the sites that ask you to pay for membership may claim to have “secrets about taking surveys” or “special access to member only surveys” that simply isn’t true. Market research companies make their surveys freely available to everyone in the demographic they are targeting.

Second: Don’t ever pay for or give out your email address to get access to a database of paid surveys. This is the same tactic as the above paid survey scam used just to take your money or email address without providing you ANY additional value. It is possible to find out about all of the market research companies that offer paid surveys for free on the internet. If someone wants to charge you for access to a database or requires you to register for access to a database of paid surveys sites click the BACK button on your browser right away! It’s a paid survey scam.

Third: Avoid Get Paid To (GPT) sites that are posing as survey sites. You’ll recognize these because rather than asking you question in a survey type format they will require that you sign up for offers with other companies to get paid. You can make money with these types of programs, but they require special caution and monitoring. Some of the offers they ask you to sign up for will have recurring membership charges buried in the fine print and you can suddenly find that you are being charged hundreds of dollars for products and services you have no need of. If you want to do GPT’s make sure you keep a complete record of EVERYTHING you sign up for and when you need to cancel it before they bill you.

Remember, most paid surveys are legitimate you just need to watch for the few warning signs I’ve given you to avoid paid survey scams. One other thing to remember when you’re trying to make money with paid surveys…

KEEP WORKING IT…IT WILL GET EASIER…YOU CAN MAKE GOOD MONEY WITH PAID SURVEYS…Most sites are not paid survey scams.

I’m sure you’ve already heard that the paid survey can be a great way to make money online, especially if you’re just getting started. If you’ve done your research you already know that there are loads of sites out there offering paid surveys and information about paid surveys. And I’m sure you’ve also found conflicting stories about whether or not it’s a good thing to try to make money by taking surveys online. This article is aimed at making you more familiar with the paid survey and helping you to avoid some common troubles that people have when they get started taking surveys online.

First and most important, some sites will want you to pay them to get access to their database of survey companies or to get “special” access to surveys. You should never pay for this type of service. All of the legit survey sites are free to register at and any market research company out there always offers their paid surveys for free. Furthermore, you can get all of the information you need about getting paid for doing surveys for free by searching.

Another thing that people fail to do when beginning to take surveys for money is that they don’t register for enough paid survey companies. They think that they will sign up with two or three survey sites and the money will come pouring in. The truth is that you need to sign up with dozens to hundreds of companies if you want to make the big money taking surveys online. The reason is that each paid survey site may only send 2-4 surveys a month (larger companies will send 2-4 a week). If you’ve only signed up with a few survey sites you won’t get nearly enough surveys each day to make good money. But if you diversify and register with every site you can you are making sure to flood your inbox with new survey offers.

Finally, you should keep in mind that you won’t make money overnight through paid surveys. It takes time to build a list of survey companies for yourself and it takes time for each of those companies to come to trust you and start to send out the highest paying surveys. Give yourself 2-3 months after you’ve begun to gauge your progress. By that time you should have signed up with many paid survey companies and have a good reputation with most of them. You will have met the minimum payout requirements for most if not all and should now be receiving regular checks. It is this time, after three months that paid surveys really start to get fun for you.

It doesn’t matter how many sites or which survey sites you choose to join, these three tips are a great resource for anyone who wants to get paid for filling out surveys. Remember the three keys; never pay for survey information, register at as many paid survey sites as possible and have patience when you are beginning to take surveys for cash. Keep these things in mind and you’ll be ahead of 95% of the people who start taking paid surveys online.

Online surveys are a great way to make some extra money in your spare time. You are able to make quite a bit of money as there are now many market research companies that will pay you to do online surveys. These companies are making their money by selling the market research to large companies and they are sharing the profits with you and me.

Most if not all of the Fortune 500 companies survey their customers to get feedback on their products. They will also use surveys to get consumer feelings about new products that are still in development. Additionally, millions of other smaller companies conduct surveys for the same reasons. And many of the established online survey companies are simply divisions of larger corporations. It’s no wonder they are paying out millions and millions of dollars to consumers for taking online surveys since it is so much cheaper and more focused than traditional advertising.

The market research companies that distribute the online surveys are trying to gauge your opinions and feelings of different products and services for their clients. By learning what their customers like and how they feel about products they are able to target existing and new products specifically for their current and future customers. The data from online surveys helps them to optimize and deliver products that more effectively meet their customer’s needs.

The market research companies are willing to pay you for your time and opinions because they are so valuable to their future business. And they let you register with them for free because the more survey respondents they are able to get into their databases the more attractive they are to the companies looking for market information. All of the legitimate online survey sites are free to join.

Join as many online survey companies as possible. Over one hundred is good, but 200 or more is even better. I have personally registered with over 300 online survey companies. By doing this you make sure you will never miss all the best paying survey opportunities. Also, create a separate email account for your surveys because you will get a lot of them everyday.

Check that email everyday for survey opportunities and make sure you respond. The online survey companies like to know that you are a reliable survey taker and will reward your diligence by sending you their best paying surveys.

The problem that you and I have is that it is time consuming to find out about all of the companies that will pay you to take online surveys. So membership sites have sprung up that act as middlemen. For a fee they promise to give you access to a list of paying online survey companies. What many people don’t know is that it is unnecessary to pay for this information.

There are other sites out there that say they will give you access to a list of paying online survey companies and all they want you to do is register with your name and email address. Well guess what? It may be free, but those sites are going to turn around and sell your email address. Then you’ll find your inbox flooded with spam. Plus they don’t even give you a complete listing, usually just a handful of the hundreds of online survey companies available.

There is an alternative to paying for this information either with money or your email address. That alternative is to find a site that has a comprehensive list of paying online survey companies that they offer to you totally free and clear. Such a site won’t ask you to pay for access to their list and they won’t ask you to give up your email to register.

Paid Survey Success is just such a site. We don’t want your money, we don’t want your email address. All we want is to help you make money. Start earning today.

If you read what the majority of people are saying about online paid survey sites then the answer is yes, but if you know the truth then the answer is mostly no. Read on to find out about the good, the bad and the ugly about online paid survey sites.

The Ugly – There are sites out there that are just looking to get rich by selling you information that you can get for free. These sites typically tell you that they have surveys available that you can’t find on your own, but this simply is not true. To get access to these “special” surveys they want you to pay a membership fee, anywhere from $39.95 and up.

I have personally joined over 200 different online paid survey sites and every one of them was 100% free to join. You should never ever pay to take surveys or to get a list of paying survey sites. It isn’t necessary at all when the information you need is freely available. In fact, legitimate market research companies are forbidden by law to make you pay to take their surveys. It would provide a bias and they don’t want that and neither do their clients.

Avoid any online paid survey site that wants you to pay for access to its database of survey companies. Avoid any online paid survey site that says you can make thousands of dollars a week or hundreds of dollars a day. If it sounds too good to be true it very likely is. You will make money with online paid surveys, but finding them is free and registering for them is free as well.

The Bad – It’s not really that bad, but I just want you to know that you won’t get rich taking online paid surveys. You can make several hundred dollars a month easily though in your spare time and that’s not bad. I’m pretty sure that most of you reading this could use a few extra hundred dollars every month for doing something as easy as taking online paid surveys.

It also requires a small amount of patience and persistence when you begin taking online paid surveys. This may or may not be bad depending on what type of person you are. Typically you will find that there is a minimum amount before you can get paid so you may need to wait a month or so until you can start getting paid from some online paid survey sites. Not really bad, but it does require some persistence and patience.

The Good – Online paid surveys are the easiest and most risk free ways you can use to make money on the internet. The majority of online paid survey sites are quite legitimate. They may have minimum payment requirements that take time to meet, however all of the sites I have requested payment from have paid me. Let’s face it, many of the online paid survey companies are small parts of offline market research companies. They have reputations to protect and are not going to jeopardize their businesses by being unresponsive to the very people they get their data from.

As long as you follow these rules you will find that it easy to make money with online paid surveys.

1. Never pay to get a listing of online paid survey sites.
2. Join a variety of sites. Start with 20-30 online paid survey sites and expand from their as time permits.
3. Be persistent in taking online paid surveys. The more reliable you are the better paying the surveys become.

Make Money With Greenfield Online Paid Surveys

Greenfield Online is a part of the ThinkAction network of paid survey companies and has been providing surveys since 1994. Last year Greenfield Online paid out over $4 million dollars to its members. Greenfield Online pays its members two ways:

• Members are entered into monthly drawings
• Greenfield Online pays cash directly to you for surveys

I like Greenfield Online because they are always sending out surveys. It isn’t unusual to get several surveys each week from them so they are a steady stream of potential income for me. They are very likely the top online survey company out there and are definitely in the top three paid survey companies.

Greenfield Online is available to survey takers worldwide and you will accept members as young as 13. Payments are made on request and made by personal check. Unfortunately Greenfield Online does not make payment via PayPal or eGold at this time.

If you want a steady stream of paying surveys from an established paid survey company then you’ve got to make Greenfield Online one of your survey companies. I hope you enjoyed this Greenfield Online review.
