Tips on Taking Paid Surveys
The web is filled with hundreds of sites, which offer cash,
rewards, gifts for taking surveys. The surveys are often simple
and targeted at common man. And their are millions of web
surfers who think that taking Paid Surveys is a very good and
easy way to make some money.
Well, there is only little truth in this. Not all paid survey
sites are genuine. Their are a few who do pay to their
subscribers for taking the surveys. It takes certain research
and experience to find this sites. Proper planning and
perseverance can help in your quest to make money through this
route. A few tips can surely help in this quest.
Firstly, you should make an email account with a good email
website. Ensure that you have sufficient space available on the
site. Also check that the mails received from the Paid Survey
sites are not blocked or labeled as spam by the email service
provider. Always use this email to subscribe to Paid Survey
sites.
The next step is to find genuine Paid Survey sites. Surf the web
and try to find a site, which is in the business of paid surveys
for considerable amount of time. Read the testimonials of its
subscribers. Also a good site would have tie-ups with payment
sites like Pay Pal to facilitate easy transfer of payments. Also
these sites may require you to pay a one time or annual
registration fee. Read the conditions related to this carefully.
To be on safe side, surfers who are new to this should start
with either one or two sites. Never send your registration fee
or any other payment through cash. Also, if paying by credit
card, ensure that the site has proper security certificates from
companies like Verisign.
Surf the site and carefully read the legal disclaimers, terms
and conditions. Often paid survey companies mention Guaranteed
Payments. They may also display document images as proofs. Many
of this are fake claims or proofs. Beware of such sites. Such a
site would also fake subscriber testimonials.
Once you are subscribed to a paid survey website, fill the
surveys with interest and true data. Remember if subscribers
don't fill genuine data in the survey forms, the consumer
companies (who finally use the data) would get incorrect
information. They would eventually stop paying the Paid Survey
websites and that only would hit you.
Lastly keep in mind that there is no free lunch. Stay alert of
the changing terms and conditions on the site. Keep checking for
the site reviews on various forums. If you are alert, there
would never be a fraud or scam and you would keep making money.
