How to Find Legitimate Paid Surveys

While there are a lot of honest, reputable paid survey websites, it is important for you to know how to find a legitimate paid survey website. So how can you tell the difference?

Legitimate paid survey websites will:

  • Post a privacy policy that clearly states exactly what they do with you private information. If they say they “share” your information with “partners” and “associates”, they more than likely will sell you information to the highest bidder. Don’t risk it.

  • Post contact information and usually have an about page describing what their company does. Personally, I don’t trust a business that won’t provide a way for me to contact them if I have a question or a problem.

  • Not guarantee a specific amount of income. In fact they will have an income disclaimer posted to be sure you understand that the amount of money you earn is dependent on what demographic group you are in and how much time you spend taking surveys

  • While there are a lot of reputable survey sites on the web, there are also a lot of not-so-reputable sites. Avoid any survey site that: Not ask for sensitive personal information such as social security number, date of birth, credit card numbers (unless they charge you a fee for using their service), bank account information, etc.
In other words, you must exercise caution and check out the paid survey site before you sign up. Once you do sign up here are a few ways you can maximize your income:

Sign up for several paid survey websites. This will increase the probability of you getting offered more surveys.

If you want to take a survey, do it right away. Most companies accept survey takers until they reach the number that they wanted. After that, most won’t accept you.

Make sure your profile is correct and the data current because it determines whether you qualify to take a survey.

How To Get Money Paid Surveys?

You must complete the survey by answering all of the questions to get paid. You will not get paid for blank surveys, incomplete surveys or surveys where it is obvious that you just checked any response and didn’t actually read the question.

Most companies require you to complete screener surveys which are used to build your demographic profile. Your demographic profile is used to determine which surveys you are eligible to take so it is to your advantage to take all of the screener surveys. Most screeners are not paid but many companies do enter you in a sweepstakes to get a prize which is either money or a gift.

Many of the companies use a mathematical algorithm to calculate a reliability score for its survey takers. The purpose of the score is to find the people who are most likely to respond quickly to invitations and take the time to provide thoughtful answers to the questions. The individuals with the highest reliability scores are usually the ones notified when the really high paying surveys become available. Why? The higher the quality of the survey answers, the better the market research company’s reputation is and the more work they get. More work equals more money for everyone.

How long does money paid surveys remain open?

That is determined by the survey designers. Survey uses statistical methods to extrapolate the responses of a sample group to be predictive of what the entire would say. There is a set percentage based on polynomial equations for every survey based on the size of the overall demographic group that determines how many responses are required for the information to be truly representative of the group.
