paid survey Tips, Tricks, and General strategies

                There are several general strategies that you would do well to employ when taking paid surveys.  Remember, the idea is to qualify for and complete as many surveys as physically possible.  This will allow you to make more money than you ever imagined you could.

• If the survey asks if you work for a particular company / in a particular industry, always select ‘None of the above’ or ‘Other.’  They aren’t looking for people in those industries.

• If asked if you have done something and the answer options are ‘Yes’ or ‘No,’ the answer is more likely to be Yes than No.

• If a question posed to you uses both specific possible answers and general possible answers (e.g. ‘What is your age?’ Possible answers: 1. under 35 2. 35-45 3. over 45), make sure your answer is in the specific range.  In the example above, that’d be answer number 2.

• Don't take survey’s that don’t pay at least $1 for completion.  Preferably more than that.  They won’t be any shorter or easier.

• When you receive survey invitations, complete them immediately or as soon as possible.  Some of the more popular or easy-to-qualify-for surveys may fill up very quickly.

• Sometimes survey sites will ask you poll questions or have you fill out personal profiles.  Select as many options as are possible.  Example: if it asks you if you have any of the following, always select everything.  This will help more surveys appear.

        If you want to make a significant amount of money per month, you pretty much need to sign up for quite a few survey sites.  Many of the best survey sites will email you surveys periodically or even daily.  There are also surveys you can complete on some GPT sites, but these usually tend to be low-paying. 

        Unlike some offer completion, surveys are generally low-risk and they have a high rate of completion.  One thing to look out for is quality-control elements that might be built into some surveys.  Of course, it is understandable how you would want to complete a survey as quickly as possible in order to move on to the next one.  To combat poor quality, however, some market research companies have added questions in to test if you are actually reading them. 

 An example would be as follows: “For quality control purposes, please select 4 for this answer.”  If you don’t select 4, you will automatically be disqualified from the survey and not receive credit.  Other surveys have code built into the survey that sets an average completion time for each survey; if you complete it too fast, you won’t receive credit.  These seem to be relatively rare, however.
