There will be up to 150-300 of these, all individual, competing survey makers, which must be applied to individually. You see why it's important to have the list? Without it you would have to apply to more than twice as many. And more than half

Ever take a survey online? Sooner or later everyone who surfs the Net will be asked to "answer a few questions", take a survey about something. No charge for the survey, they just want you to help them out with your opinion about something or other.

Did you know that you can get paid for free online surveys not unlike those you saw and maybe took earlier? You can. Measuring consumer opinion is a multi-million dollar business.

Big companies pay market researchers to find out what consumers think. Marketing researchers conduct surveys of consumers like you and me to find out.

These surveys cost money, and part of the money goes to reward those who fill out the survey questionnaires. The most direct way is to simply pay survey participants in cash for their time and opinions. Others set up drawings and other incentives to make it interesting, so they can attract (free or almost free) participants.

Here is how you can participate:

1. Choose a good paid survey guide company to show you which survey makers to sign up with. There are over 3,000 survey makers worldwide, over 700 in the U.S. alone. Some of them pay in cash and are reliable; these are the ones you want.

Most of them try to get participants cheap or for free, or try to sell things to the participants. You don't want to deal with these time-wasters.

There are 200 or so paid survey guide companies that maintain lists of survey makers, sorting out which are good and which not. For a small one-time membership fee they will share a copy of their current list of preferred survey-makers which will save you a great deal of time and hassle.

Pick a paid survey guide company that has a strong 60-90 day money-back guarantee, backed up by a bank or financial company such as PayPal or ClickBank. Most important is to pick one with a low refund rate. The refund rate reflects the opinions and experience of their earlier clients like yourself.

A low refund rate means satisfied clients. A high refund rate indicates many unhappy and dissatisfied clients. Look for a refund rate in the 3-6% range. Avoid any with refund rates that are unknown or that are 9-10% or more.

There are "free" guide services, but these should be avoided. They will send you to the survey makers that pay them to recruit you, rather than to the survey makers that pay you in cash! You won't make any money that way!

3. Run your paid survey activities as a business. Open a separate free e-mail account, use that address in all your applications. Check your in-box at least daily, answer all correspondence promptly.

4. Be patient. Accept all survey invitations at first. Respond quickly, fill out the questionnaires completely and to the best of your ability. The survey makers will test you at first to see if you are real. As they gain confidence in you they will send you more and bigger (higher paying) surveys.

Your income from each survey maker will generally peak about 3-6 months after submitting your application with them.

When you get paid for free online surveys, how much money will you make?

That depends on your diligence, your demographics and the number of quality survey makers you sign up with. Most serious survey takers report incomes of $200 - $600 per month. Many report incomes of $1,000 a month or more.
