Maximize Your Online Survey Profits
 By Peter Dimas
One of the most common questions I get on my website is "Peter,
how do I make the most money with these online survey opportunities?"
There are a couple of extremely easy ways to add to your bottom
line in the survey-taking world.
1) Apply to as many survey and market research
sites as possible. When you join a Survey database, you will
be given anywhere between 350 to 550 different survey companies.
This may sound insane, but at some point, you will want to have
had applied to ALL of them on the list. Don't try to knock them
out all in one day, but go for 10-20 a day. The more survey
companies you join, the more people who will want your opinion
at some point and will come looking to pay you for it.
2) Decrease the amount of repetitive work that
you have to do. When you're joining survey sites, they all ask
basically the same information when first getting started. You
don't need to put in the same info manually every time. Instead,
use a tool like RoboForm. Using RoboForm you can fill in your
information once, and when prompted on subsequent sites, fill
in ALL your personal information with the press of a single
button. This is a HUGE time saver. Saving time means having
more time to fill out surveys for cash.
3) Many survey sites will offer you opportunities
to complete sections that reflect your own personal information.
There may be a section on your finances, what kind of car you
drive, your travel habits, etc. Whenever you see these, FILL
THEM OUT. This will give you access to surveys that the other
99% of the people who don't fill them out won't ever get to
see.
4) Cash is good, but points aren't bad either.
Many survey sites pay you in "points" and when you
accumulate enough of them you get to use them to purchase items.
Don't avoid the sites that pay in points. I don't know about
you, but a $250 Wal-Mart gift certificate is as good as cash
to me because it will definitely get used.
5) Don't avoid the drawings either. A lot of
times, particularly on short surveys, market research companies
will offer an entry into a cash drawing for your participation.
There's no reason not to take the time to fill out a 3 minute
survey for a chance to win $1,000 in addition to many other
smaller cash prizes. Your chances of winning something are actually
not bad because a LOT of people do not complete these surveys
at all! They just wait until the cash surveys fill their box.
So basically the name of the game is to maximize your exposure.
Join as many companies as possible, give them as much information
about you as possible, and take as many surveys as possible.
Those are some of the ways you can maximize your online survey
profits! But you're not going to get anywhere if you haven't
taken the first step. Click the link below to go back to the
survey list page and get started!
