My Open Book

The large companies who product products and services for sale rarely come into direct contact with their real customers, the ones who pick up their products in the supermarket rather than those of their competitors. And this is a problem because they must know what these consumers are thinking, so they can improve products and know which of their advertising is working.

So they hire market researchers to measure consumer opinion and report back their findings. The market researchers use a variety of tools to do this. Probably the most important is the paid online survey. Thousands of these surveys are being made every day. To get survey participants to volunteer, these market researchers arrange for them to get paid for their participation.

That is what makes it possible for you to make money by doing paid market research surveys.

So how do YOU get paid to do surveys?

Survey participation is by invitation only. To be invited you will need to get your name and demographic data on file with a number of good Survey Makers. Then when they have surveys for your demographic, they send you an invitation.

Of the more than 700 survey makers in the U.S. (Over 3,000 worldwide) only about 20% are first class, offering only legitimate paid online surveys that pay well and respect your privacy. The second tier, about 40%, pay less but are still worthwhile. The last 40% are just no-pay/low-pay time-wasters and sales companies, to be avoided!

Fine. How then do you find the good survey makers and avoid the bad ones?

You will want to join a paid survey membership site which maintains good lists of good survey makers. There are over 200 of these sites, some good, some bad, some terrible! To know which is which so you can pick a good one, check out this paid online surveys review site, which ranks the leaders monthly.
