What the first thing came to your mind when you heard the word survey?
For me, it's not only answering questions and doing research but it is about making money. Yes, you heard it right! It's about making money online. It is not only for collecting data. I am talking about Paid surveys.
Let me tell you now how to start on paid surveys.
First, you need a computer or cellphone to do that and the internet to browse or to open the site or an app. Another survey site requires you to download and install their app but most of them are only through a website. Second, you need to create your account on the survey platform. But you also need some account that serves as your payment method like Paypal because some of them are paid you right after the survey. By creating your account you will be asked for your basic information. You also need a valid email address. Because you can receive a survey invitation through that email. You will also be asked for a demographics survey. For example, your location, employment status, household income, etc. But before the survey, you were placed in screening questions to determine whether you are qualified or not for the survey. Then if you are qualified you will directly ask about certain products or something like what you have used in the past few weeks. Some of the surveys require you maximum points to be rewarded.
Some of the legit survey sites are Toluna, Mobrog, Surveytime, and The panel station. It is not easy money and sometimes answering the survey is annoying because it is taking so long. Sometimes there are repeated questions. But sometimes it is also fulfilling. It is not just about earning money but also you can interact with the community and be heard for your own opinion.
Answering the survey helps you to be more knowledgeable and raise your awareness of certain things. You help companies to get better and create new products that could benefit you in the future.
