Can I Make Money Filling Out Surveys? The Truth Revealed (Shhh!)

By Steve Halladay

More and more people are turning to online work to bring in some extra money. Almost everyone has internet access now or can get it. One opportunity to make some extra money online that many people are looking into is completing online surveys for cash.

Most people have done a survey at one time or another. Your bank may have called and asked you questions for a survey they were conducting. Businesses are willing to pay quite a lot of money on these surveys in order to decide what to market to consumers.

Many businesses have decided to get answers for their marketing research online. They realize how many people are looking for ways to make a little extra money by filling out their surveys.

There are several companies that will offer cash payments to people who complete surveys for them. It ends up being cheaper for them to offer money to participants than to hire a marketing company to set up telephone surveys or focus groups.

The big question we get is an obvious one - "can I actually make money filling out online surveys?"

Many people have started making good money simply for giving their opinion on these surveys. Although the fees paid to you will vary, there are people who claim to be making up to $150 an hour completing online surveys. Typically you will get $10-$75 per survey, depending on the length.

The first step to begin making money completing surveys is to join a survey network where you will be able to find a lot of surveys to do. There are many free ones you can join but for the most part, they expect you to do the surveys for only an entry into a sweepstakes. It is difficult to make any cash with those.

If you want to make real money doing this, you will want to join a membership based network. You will have to pay a one-time membership fee (usually about $35). This fee is only billed once and you then get access to all sorts of surveys that will pay you cash to give your opinion.

Always join the survey network with a money back guarantee. You will feel much more secure knowing you can get your money back if doing surveys is not for you. Any trustworthy company will offer this guarantee; it proves they have confidence in their services.

You can make a good part time income filling out online marketing surveys. If you apply yourself, you can easily make over $1000 a month for only a small investment.

We wish you all the best and if you any questions feel free to get in touch!
