Paid Surveys Online
Paid surveys online may be a good option if your wanting to start making money online but have no start-up capital.
The survey business has gone through an evolution since the internet has become popular. Instead of paying call center operators to interview customers, survey companies conduct a lot of their research online.
Now, there is an incentive for the customer to participate in online surveys. Often they are provided with some sort of compensation for their time. This can be by way of cash, reward points or vouchers etc.
This opens an opportunity to make a little money towards your internet nest egg, by participating in online surveys.
Taking part is very easy. Just sign-up for the companies which are of interest. Then when they have surveys available, they will send a email to let you know.
Once the survey has been completed your account is credited and paid in the next payment cycle.
Different companies have different surveys to complete. The number of surveys they have available at any time also varies a lot.
There are a number of things you can do to ensure you get as many survey offers as possible
(a) Sign-up for as many companies as possible. Its free & the more you sign-up for the more surveys you will potentially get.
(b) Respond to survey requests promptly. Its often recommended that a separate mailbox be set-up for your survey notifications and that it is checked regularly.
There is also an additional way to make money from some free survey companies. Thats from referrals. It works like this. When you recommend someone to a survey site and they make money buy completing surveys, you get paid a percentage of their earnings. This typically ranges from 10% to 30% for your referrals and 5% - 10% for your referrals referrals.
The referals side of the business have the potential pay as follows: Lets say you refer 10 people to a survey company and they each do $20/month. If your payout is 20% then you would make $40 per month. Now lets say those 10 people referred 10 people (on 5% ) then you would make an additional $100. This your total monthly income would be $140 for doing nothing.
The numbers above are purely fictional but I hope you can see that this can grow to be an ongoing income stream in it’s own right.
Finding survey companies can take a bit of time. This time can be saved by purchasing a list of survey companies from SurveyScout, SurveyPass, GreatNetMoney etc. The cost to purchase the lists runs from $20 up to $60 depending on what other services are provided as part of the package.
You can also find the companies for free using google & searching for “free paid surveys online”. This will uncover a number of sites who have published lists of online survey companies.
There is nothing to be lost from trying this as a money making option.
Below I have compiled a short list of sites which are believed to be reputable and which are reported as paying their customers.
CashCrate - International
Project Payday - US Only
Survey Spot - US, Canada & UK
Survey Savy - International
Opinion Outpost - US & Canada
A.W.Surveys - International
Clearvoice - International
Global Survey - US only
Survey Team - US Only
Please let me know of any others and I’ll add them to the list.

Here is an easy and enjoyable way to make money online. Some of the things included in this On-Line Survey Guide are a collection of companies that pay you to drive your car, pay you for reading emails, pay you for watching movie trailers and pay you for serving on focus groups. Its time to use your opinions and earn that money!
By telling companies what you think about their products and services, you actually help them make more money. And for that, they are also willing to pay you.

I really like Paid Surveys. I make some money from them in the Netherlands. But this isn’t much, because there aren’t that much companies that pay you for surveys :(

I recently signed up with a site http://www.surveywealthy.com and they have paid really well thus far. I have made around $182 in the last 2 months which is obviously not enough to quit my day job but it sure does help with eating out a few times a month and toys for the kids.

Now that’s the good and beneficial side of answering a survey. Earn money by letting companies know what you think about their product. Answering online surveys is not after all just a waste of time, it can be a very productive way of spending your precious time too.

The url to the Pinecone Research is http://www1.pineconeresearch.com. At present I did not find ways to join with them. Even the link http://www1.pineconeresearch.com/faq.asp did not tell anything about joining in their program. Anyone knows more detail. Thanks for your input in advance.
