Online Paid Surveys - The Ultimate Work From Home Solution?

Hey all,

This week I’m going to talk to you about paid survey sites... you know those websites that CLAIM that you can make a decent living from home by participating in online market research and get paid for it.

Now the reason I say CLAIM is because 99% of the survey websites out there are scams. They claim that you will be paid $75 per survey BUT when you join up you will find nothing more than $3 surveys. Can you say “false advertising?” Around 80% of online companies directly practise false advertising techniques and get away with it, but that’s a different issue....

Now don’t ruin your faith in the online market research industry, there is still a 1% margin of hope! You just need to know which sites to avoid and which sites to trust.

I have joined a number of these websites, some of which i have had to pay a registration fee for membership and some which were completely free.

I have found success in two websites. Survey Scout (Paid membership) and Cash Crate (FREE membership) are the two products I will be reviewing this week for you guys.

Survey Scout

So I’ve been with Survey Scout now for about 8 days and I have earned myself $160. All together I’ve put in about 2 hours of work here and there whenever I have had some free time. Survey Scout does require members to purchase a lifetime membership in order to access their database. This membership costs $34.95, but is well worth every penny.

The website claims that you will earn the following:

  1. Simple Online Survey $5 - $75 per survey
  2. Online Focus Group Up To $150 per hour
  3. Simple Phone Survey Up To $120 per hour
  4. Testing New Products - Keeping them and getting paid
  5. Preview Upcoming Movie Trailers $4 - $25 per trailer

In my 2 hours of time I have worked strictly with online surveys. I have completed about a dozen surveys and the maximum amount I have been paid was $25 for one survey, but the majority of surveys I completed were either $10 or $15. The $25 survey was sent to me immediately when I became a member of the site, so it kind of worked as an instant rebate.

The $10 and $15 is a very fair payout based on the fact that the surveys that I participated in consisted of rating scales and clickable answers. By this I mean I had to rate questions on a scale of 1-10, easy right? I’m assuming in order to get the $75 per survey it’s going to be a lot of short answer questions that involve typing.

The one product that was recommended to me before I began this program was RoboForm and believe me, this product is well worth it. What this product does is store your information (name, phone number, address etc.) and allow you to breeze through all of those demographic and personal questions in a survey. All together it cuts the time to complete a single survey in half. With this product you will be flying through surveys and earning more money. It does require a tiny bit of investment, but in return you will be able to complete more surveys in less amount of time resulting in higher payouts.

Overall, of all the survey programs that I have tested and been a part of, I confidently can say that Survey Scout is the best one out there. The site is very user friendly and easy to navigate through. It offers a 100% 8 week satisfaction guarantee and comes with a handful of bonuses.

Cash Crate

I’ve been with Cash Crate now for about 3 weeks and have made about $67.60. Keep on reading, don’t let this turn you away just yet. Although this is a significantly low income compared to Survey Scout, remember that this site is FREE and requires no payment whatsoever.

The cool thing about Cash Crate is that there is more than 1 way to earn money from it. Unlike most other programs out there, Cash Crate has a 3 tier system. This is how it works:

1) Sign up and complete offers
2) Refer everybody you can
3) Bonuses!

For everybody you refer, you will make 20% of their income and for everybody they refer you will make an additional 10%. As you refer more and more people you will earn more commission and will find that you do not have to bother completed surveys anymore.

Now lets talk numbers. The reason that I’ve only may around $68 is because the payout per offer ranges between $0.15 - $3.00. That’s right, were talking pennies here. Again, don’t be alarmed, it gets better I promise!

If you complete an 80 cent offer per day ($24 per month) and refer 20 people who complete an 80 cent offer per day, you will have just made $96 dollars EXTRA ($24 x 20 people x 20% commission). Then if these 20 people refer another 20 people who do the same thing you will have earnt an extra $960 per month ($24 x 400 people x 10% commission). Sounds a little better right. Oh and by the way, you also get a $3 bonus for everybody that you have referred when they reach the $10 mark every month.

As a new user to this site I’m still trying to get on my feet and build up my empire of survey takers to work with, but I’m confident it should only be a couple of months before I can hit that $1000 per month mark.

Again, for this program I recommend that you use RoboForm because of the significant amount of time that you will be saving. I personally am using this product and I’m finding that it is saving me countless hours per day.

If you decide to become a member of Cash Crate, send me an email (donjackson21@gmail.com) and I will hit you back with a few tips and tricks to help you earn more with this program. All the tips and tricks that I am going to send you are completely FREE and do not require any purchase. They are just a few tactics that will help you earn some more money.

Sites to avoid:

Here is a list of some of the paid membership sites. The prices on these range from $35 to $75. They are a complete waste of time, and you have to go through a hassle to get your money back (ie. Make a PayPal Claim).

  • Surveys 4 Checks

  • Maximum Paid Surveys
  • Highest Paid Surveys
