Prior to affiliate marketing, I focused on making money through paid online surveys. Let's first get to the main question at hand: Do Paid Surveys Really Pay? The short answer to this is yes. Paid online surveys do actually pay and in most cases, this is not a scam or a waste of time. Prior to really answering this question thoroughly, let me explain what "Paid Surveys" really mean. <p>While looking for "Online Money Making Opportunities" online, I am sure we have all come across the paid survey ads. When I was initially looking to make a little bit of extra cash to supplement my current income, it seemed to be the most ideal solution. At first, I tried to be "frugal" about it and hunt out paid survey sites on my own. I found about 5 or six sites that promoted offering to pay for taking surveys. I signed up for them, got on their mailing list, and nothing! I waited about 2 weeks for "a survey" and did not get anything. Very annoying! I continued to research the topic (in forums) and started to realize that 5 sites are not enough to get started. That prompted me to join a paid survey site. This is when I learned what "Paid Surveys" is all about! <p>In order to make paid surveys work, you need to step out of the box a little bit. There is MORE to paid surveys than just "Paid Surveys". Remember, the whole point to getting paid for surveys is for companies to collect data, build profiles and become more successful marketers. Filling out paid surveys online is just one way to do this. Phone interviews are a way to collect data. Online focus groups exist where you join a real-time discussion online. Also, you can read other people's email and get paid for it. While this seems strange, you can get paid a few cents per email, and this can add up in a short hour! There are about a half-dozen more ways as well to earn money through paid survey opportunities. <p>Getting back to the original question again: Yes, you can get paid for you opinion! Most surveys I have gotten range between $5 and $25 each (for about 15 minutes to an hour of your time). Getting paid to read emails is about one cent to ten cents per email read (and I have made up to about $15 in an hour doing this). The other thing to be aware of is the payment options. A lot of paid survey sites offer compensation in either money and/or prizes. This can be a good or bad thing, depending on why you are doing these programs. Some of the prize sites are pretty nice and you can get more value in prizes than cash. <p>The main point to be made here is that you will be paid for you time. If you fill out a survey or sit in on a focus group, your time will be compensated. You commitment goes no further than the survey or interview or the group you attend. For people like stay-at-home parents or even college students, this is a great way to bring in a little bit of extra cash at your own leisure. A lot of it is quite a brain-dead exercise that you can do while watching some bad reality TV in the background. My biggest issue with paid surveys is its lack of residual income as well as its income potential. <p>I see ads that advertise that you can make thousands of dollars per month doing surveys. Their math seems to be pretty convincing as well: If you do two paid surveys a day at $20 each, for 30 days, that is $1200 per month! Wow! How easy! Not quite reality, though. If you sign up with enough paid survey sites, you can expect to get (on average) about 5-10 surveys per week, and most of these pay in the $5-$10 range. If you also join some focus groups and phone interviews, you can add an additional $100 per week. So in reality, making $500 is very doable, but that is near the ceiling for cash potential. It is still not bad! That is an extra $6000 per year (and a fairly respectable car payment!). If you were looking for a higher paying online opportunity, I would then recommend affiliate marketing. Online marketing provides the potential for a lot of residual money (money that is earned while you are not actually driving it) and its earning potential can be in the thousands to tens of thousands per month. Affiliate marketing does require a lot more commitment, initial set-up and a bit of training (all of which is achievable to anyone, as long as they are focused on their goals!). Read my article <a ref="http://affiliate-marketing-newbie.blogspot.com/">First Impressions of Affiliate Marketing</a> to learn more about this. <p>In summary, I would like to give a few suggestions to those who are planning on trying to make money through paid survey programs: <p>1) Sign up for as many paid surveys as you can! - Most paid survey sites provide you with only one or two survey opportunities per month. If you are signed up on 50 sites, you now can about 2 surveys per day. <p>2) Sign up for a Paid Survey Link Site - So where do you find these 50 or so sites? That is what these paid survey link sites are all about. Most of them cost about $35 to join, but it is a one time fee (for any reputable site). Trying to find 50 sites on your own would take 10s of hours (and remember, time is money that you can be making filling out surveys!). To learn more about paid survey sites, visit <a ref="http://make--money--taking--surveys.blogspot.com/">Paid Survey Sites Reviewed</a> <p>3) Funnel all of your paid survey email into one, new, dedicated email account. - I found that some paid survey opportunities can appear as spam and become lost in a regular email account. <p>4) Stay Organized! - As you start receiving paid online surveys, start a spreadsheet of whom you are working for and what you expect to be paid. When trying to manage over 50 sites, you can very easily forget which companies owe you money or prizes. <p>5) Remember, you are still an employee of the paid survey sites! - Be sure to fill out the surveys accurately and consistently. Surveys that have box number three filled out throughout the entire questionnaire provide them with no feedback and you will more than likely stop receiving survey requests. Also, if you start ignoring a lot of requests, they will stop sending them. <p>Paid surveys are an honest and solid way to make a little extra money on the side. Like any money making opportunity, there is a little bit of initial overhead time, but with paid surveys, once you are set up, you are set up for awhile. You CAN make money working from home and paid surveys are a fairly safe, easy and risk-free way of doing so. <p>Matthew is a 31 year entrepreneur from San Diego, CA.

These sites claim you can make significant monthly income and can provide you with a list of market research sites you must join in order to receive surveys and get paid. The only catch is that you must pay some fee (usually 20$ to 30$) in order to lay your hands on their list of "proven" market research companies.<p>Creating a database of survey sites does take a lot of work, effort and time and it may sound reasonable to set up a price for it and many people agree with this. If you do appreciate this work and wish to buy this list, feel free to do so but at least read this article to know what you should seek on such sites and how to determine if you are on a legitimate site, or not. Use your own judgement. I, for myself, prefer free opportunities.<p>According to some online resources relating paid surveys, no respectful company would ever ask for any sign-up fee for granting you the opportunity to work for them. Such a company would have no need to conceal their address and telephone number on their website.<p>As you can see, legitimate membership survey sites should be free and should not conceal their street address and telephone number on their websites. Since most of these sites are not free, they should have a correct contact information and state on their websites or in their terms the requirements for participation and the real possibilities of making money. They should also have a refund policy in case you don't earn anything and honor it. You'd be surprised as how many refunds are not honored.<p>That is why you should do a research on your own about a site you wish to purchase a list from. Try to find everything you can about positive and negative experiences and then decide what will be the best thing to do. Especially check if they honor their refund policies. There are a lot of scams out there.<p>In my opinion I don't believe you should pay anything to access these lists and here is why. Although it is possible to earn a lot of money and cover your investment "fee", it is also possible never to earn any money. Why is that?<p>Paid surveys are not for anyone. They are conducted by a market research companies on behalf of some large company seeking to improve sales and willing to invest certain sum of money in the market research. Since they are spending quite large amounts of money, they can't afford to waste it, so they will target their research to population which brings them most profit. So if you do not live in the USA, Canada, UK, Australia, or some other developed country, you'll probably never make any money from surveys. Even survey companies that claim to be available worldwide are very often restricted to some countries.<p>Besides your demographic location on most survey sites you have to fill in your profile based on your age, interests, education, income, etc. The number of surveys you will get will mostly depend on your profile. If your profile fits the required target population you'll get more surveys and more chances to earn money. It is also possible that your profile will not fit in and you'll rarely have an opportunity to complete paid surveys.<p>There are also other reasons why you shouldn't pay anything to access market research companies:<p>You will be paying for something you can easily have for FREE! These membership sites are only selling information anyone can get. Sites that conduct market research are not hidden.

Why You Shouldn?t Pay Anything To Do Surveys For Money?<p><b>Whether you are familiar with paid surveys or not, read on - this information will prevent you from getting scammed.</b></p>You have probably discovered by now some sites that offer you the opportunity to earn money by doing paid surveys online. These sites claim you can make significant monthly income and can provide you with a list of market research sites you must join in order to receive surveys and get paid. The only catch is that you must pay some fee (usually 20$ to 30$) in order to lay your hands on their list of ?proven? market research companies. <P>Creating a database of survey sites does take a lot of work, effort and time and it may sound reasonable to set up a price for it and many people agree with this. If you do appreciate this work and wish to buy this list, feel free to do so but at least read this article to know what you should seek on such sites and how to determine if you are on a legitimate site, or not. Use your own judgement. I, for myself, prefer free opportunities. <P>According to some online resources relating paid surveys, no respectful company would ever ask for any sign-up fee for granting you the opportunity to work for them. Such a company would have no need to conceal their address and telephone number on their website. <P>As you can see, legitimate membership survey sites should be free and should not conceal their street address and telephone number on their websites. Since most of these sites are not free, they should have a correct contact information and state on their websites or in their terms the requirements for participation and the real possibilities of making money. They should also have a refund policy in case you don?t earn anything and honor it. You?d be surprised as how many refunds are not honored. <P>That is why you should do a research on your own about a site you wish to purchase a list from. Try to find everything you can about positive and negative experiences and then decide what will be the best thing to do. Especially check if they honor their refund policies. There are a lot of scams out there. <P>In my opinion I don?t believe you should pay anything to access these lists and here is why. Although it is possible to earn a lot of money and cover your investment ?fee?, it is also possible never to earn any money. Why is that?Paid surveys are not for anyone. They are conducted by a market research companies on behalf of some large company seeking to improve sales and willing to invest certain sum of money in the market research. Since they are spending quite large amounts of money, they can?t afford to waste it, so they will target their research to population which brings them most profit. So if you do not live in the USA, Canada, UK, Australia, or some other developed country, you?ll probably never make any money from surveys. Even survey companies that claim to be available worldwide are very often restricted to some countries. <P>Besides your demographic location on most survey sites you have to fill in your profile based on your age, interests, education, income, etc. The number of surveys you will get will mostly depend on your profile. If your profile fits the required target population you?ll get more surveys and more chances to earn money. It is also possible that your profile will not fit in and you?ll rarely have an opportunity to complete paid surveys. <P>There are also other reasons why you shouldn?t pay anything to access market research companies: <P>You will be paying for something you can easily have for FREE! These membership sites are only selling information anyone can get. Sites that conduct market research are not hidden. They need as many possible members as they can find, so they will not ask for any fee. You can join all of them and never pay a dime. <P>Many market research companies have affiliate programs to help them recruit new members. Therefore if someone introduces you to a survey site, he/she will get paid for it and there is no real justification in asking for any more money from you. <P>These sites usually don?t have a refund policy, so if you don?t earn anything with surveys, you won?t be able to ask for a refund. It is more likely that they have a refund policy, but do not honor it. This is typical for scam sites and that is why it?s very important to do some researching first. <P>There are a lot of free lists of survey sites you can join and earn money if you qualify. You can test them out and see if they work for you or not and you won?t have to pay anything.

Surveys allow environmental problems to be identified in a measured and controlled manner.<br /><br />Remuneration & Benefits - Measure and monitor how satisfied personnel are with their remuneration and benefits.<br /><br />Mood and Moral - Provides a simple but effective method to measure and monitor the mood and moral of an organization.<br /><br />Benchmark - In the same way that an organization will consider their financial position by comparison with previous years, so the regular use of online surveys will allow an organization to monitor and measure their progress and development in non-financial terms. <br /><br />Processes & Procedures - As businesses evolve some of the traditional processes and procedures can become antiquated, personnel are often the first to know and the last to be asked. Businesses evolve and the business processes need to be regularly re-aligned <br /><br />Training - Lack of proper training is a common cause of dissatisfaction among employees and can lead to more serious problems such as stress. <br /><br />Communication - For an organization to run efficiently good internal and external communications are essential, surveys can provide a method to help organizations to monitor and measure how well an organization communicates. <br /><br />Goals and Objectives - Surveys can measure and monitor the extent that the personnel are aligned with the senior management's business goals and objectives.<br /><br />Cost Effective - Using an online survey service such as www.surveygalaxy.com survey are quick and easy to create, simple to deploy and will provide real-time results. <br /><br />Compliance - To properly comply with an ever increasing array of regulations the modern organization needs to be able to disseminate information throughout the organization and ensure, through records, that the information has been received, and importantly, understood. Online surveys provide organization with a cost effective method to meet many of their obligations.<br /><br />Keeping the Initiative - It is always better for management to ask than be told. By conducting regular employee surveys management are able to keep the initiative in trying to identify problems that may otherwise manifest into demands. <br /><br /><br /><br />Considerations<br /><br />Management Backing - A survey that is both sanctioned and has the support of senior management will go some way in ensuring that any action required, based on the survey findings, will be implemented.<br /><br />Ask the right questions - Consider careful the questions being asked. If employees feel that the survey is just trying to tick the right boxes the survey could backfire.<br /><br />A survey that is to be conducted annually should try and ask questions that will provide senior management with an overall health check of the organization. <br /><br />Avoid questions that will only apply to specific departments or personnel. If some areas of the organization require detailed investigation consider running separate one-off surveys that can be targeted at specific personnel. <br /><br />Incentive - Most employees will feel that by being able to give their opinions that they are already stakeholders in the exercise and will be happy to participate in the survey as they will expect to benefit from the process. <br /><br />However, some incentive may help improve the overall response rate or could be used to encourage early participation. <br /><br />Smaller incentives could be handed out to all employees or all participating employees could be entered into a lottery to receive a more substantial prize.<br /><br />Anonymous - The decision to allow respondents to remain anonymous or not needs careful consideration. A survey that is conducted anonymously may allow employees to be more candid, however, anonymity may encourage some individuals to make wild accusations that can not be substantiated and cause considerable concern. When in doubt it is often better to keep everything 'on the record' rather than 'off'.<br /><br />Where survey respondents are known there is the opportunity to chase for surveys that have not been completed and also to follow up on some issues directly with those employees who have raised them as problems. <br /><br />Comments - Keep free text comments to a minimum because they are difficult and time consuming to measure and analyze. <br /><br />Consider limiting free text comments to one at the end of the survey or, in the case of surveys that are not being conducted anonymously, allow for a post-survey follow-up to obtain more information where additional and more specific detail is required. <br /><br />Risks<br /><br />Management - Some managers can regard any form of employee consultation as a sign of weakness and may have a tendency to dismiss out of hand any negative comment. <br /><br />Warts and All - A survey is likely to reveal warts and all. Senior management should be prepared for discovering that the top down view can differ from the bottom up view and that ignorance, of any identified problems, can no longer be used as an excuse.<br /><br />Non-Action - Many employees will invest time and effort in participating in a survey and their hopes and expectations will be raised. Any post-survey non-action is likely to promote cynicism and jeopardize any future initiatives to obtain employee feedback. <br /><br />Management should formally respond to the issues raised in surveys even if the demands of employees are not to be met. If senior management agree to address and resolve some issues then action needs to have started before any further survey is scheduled. <br /><br />Can Cause Problems - Where surveys reveal, or bring problems, to the surface there could be a tendency for senior management to blame the messenger. <br /><br />The benefits of conducting regular online employee surveys can be considerable, but for surveys to be effective important upfront considerations need to be made. Although the process of conducting a survey can be therapeutic in itself it is the post-survey analysis, response and action that will ultimately determine how useful and effective the process has been. <br /><br />For a sample employee satisfaction survey:<br /><br />http://www.surveygalaxy.com/surPublishes.asp?survey_id=1163<h5>Related Articles:-</h5><li><a href="http://instantly-get-paid-for-surveys.blogspot.com/2007/09/paid-surveys-interview-with-legend.html">Paid Surveys - Interview with a Legend!</a></li><li><a href="http://instantly-get-paid-for-surveys.blogspot.com/2007/09/paid-surveys-all-you-ever-need-to-know.html">Paid Surveys - All You Ever Need To Know!</a></li><li><a href="http://instantly-get-paid-for-surveys.blogspot.com/2007/09/free-fun-my-space-survey.html">Free Fun My Space Survey</a></li><li><a href="http://instantly-get-paid-for-surveys.blogspot.com/2007/09/6-profitable-ways-to-use-online-surveys.html">6 Profitable Ways To Use Online Surveys</a></li><li><a href="http://instantly-get-paid-for-surveys.blogspot.com/2007/09/designing-effective-surveys.html">Designing Effective Surveys</a></li>Instantly Get Paid For Surveyshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15576403749139929472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4518444361064106565.post-3134891145573564212007-10-28T23:33:00.000-07:002007-12-25T23:22:47.162-08:00Interesting Surveys<p>interesting surveys taking surveys friend surveys for myspace myspace surveys for girls surveys 4 myspace christian surveys fun sex surveys simple surveys blog survey system short surveys for myspace market research surveys high paying surveys home surveys free online games with no surveys surveys on line my space quizzes and surveys crazy myspace surveys simple surveys myspace myspace thong surveys myspace personal surveys phone surveys surveys for kids surveys at home surveys all categories get cash for surveys paid surveys forum myspce surveys get paid to do online surveys relationship surveys for myspace top 8 myspace surveys longest myspace surveys myspace top friends surveys awesome </p><p>surveys bored surveys paid physician surveys paid surveys etc greenfield online surveys getting paid to do surveys quizes and surveys for myspace marketing research surveys random surveys for myspace myspace about me surveys quizzes guest surveys job surveys free surveys for cash free surveys for money myspace redneck surveys printable surveys mail surveys do you know me surveys best friend surveys for myspace paid for taking surveys paid surveys uk customer service surveys duck surveys interracial sex surveys surveys and bulletins for myspace surveys and quizes assertive discipline surveys myspace surveys about top 8 sex myspace surveys where can i find myspace surveys money surveys school surveys online surveys scam online surveys that pay surveys 20satisfaction pimp surveys all about me myspace </p><h5>Related Articles:-</h5><li><a href="http://instantly-get-paid-for-surveys.blogspot.com/2007/09/can-you-really-make-money-with-online.html">Can You Really Make Money with Online Surveys?</a></li><li><a href="http://instantly-get-paid-for-surveys.blogspot.com/2007/09/profit-from-on-line-self-surveys.html">Profit From On-line Self-Surveys</a></li><li><a href="http://instantly-get-paid-for-surveys.blogspot.com/2007/09/how-to-get-paid-for-taking-online.html">How To Get Paid For Taking Online Surveys</a></li><li><a href="http://instantly-get-paid-for-surveys.blogspot.com/2007/09/online-survey.html">Online Survey</a></li><li><a href="http://instantly-get-paid-for-surveys.blogspot.com/2007/09/online-surveys-scam-or-pay-day.html">Online Surveys: Scam or Pay Day?</a></li>Instantly Get Paid For Surveyshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15576403749139929472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4518444361064106565.post-66981461988481734542007-10-26T23:38:00.001-07:002007-12-25T23:23:00.672-08:00Using Surveys to Gather Valuable Customer Data<p>The more you know about your customers, the better you'll understand them. And the better you understand them, the better you'll be able to sell to them.</p><p>One of the best ways to collect this information is by creating a quick online survey. </p><p>The data you collect from customer surveys can be invaluable to the operation of your business. </p><p>Survey results allow you to examine your marketing strategy and ask important questions like:</p><p>- Are you promoting the fact that you have a huge product range, when what your customers actually want is extended operating hours? </p><p>- Are you promoting your products as technically superior when what your customers really care about its ease-of-use? </p><p>- Are you heavily promoting cheap prices when what your customers are more concerned about is customer support?</p><p>If you take the time to ask, you'll be surprised at how helpful your customers can be.</p><p>To begin with, the two key areas you want to explore are Demographics and Psychographics.</p><p>Demographics identify 'Who is your customer?', and Psychographics asks 'Why does your customer buy?' </p><p>When collecting demographic information, you're trying to find out what the profile of your ideal customer is. When collecting psychographic information you're trying to determine what motivates your ideal customer to buy.</p><p>Here is some of the information you'll want to gather from your customers.</p><p>Demographic Questions </p><p>- Are they male or female? - How old are they? - Are they married, single or divorced? - What is their average household income? - Where do they spend the majority of their time online? - What are their interests?</p><p>Psychographic Questions</p><p>Of the people who purchased your product or service...</p><p>- What do they think of your product or service? - Why did they buy your product or service? - What do they like about your product or service? - What do they dislike about your product or service? - How do they think you could improve your product or service?</p><p>Of the people who didn't purchase your product or service...</p><p>- Why didn't they buy from you? - Do they feel you are overpriced? Underpriced? - How did they say you could improve your offer? - How do they think you could improve your product or service?</p><p>What's the Best Time to Collect Customer Information?</p><p>The best time to collect this valuable customer information is at the time of purchase (or directly after).

John complains that his boss never tells him anything. Sally is expected to come up with sales targets without being briefed on this year's company strategy.<p>Where do you start in improving ineffective communication between people? A good first step in fixing communication problems in any organization is to survey employees. Even if there are no obvious problems, surveys can help get an organization to the next level of performance.<p>What are the benefits you would expect to see in conducting a communication survey and acting on the results? Well, you could experience some of the following:<p>* improved employee satisfaction<br>* lower turnover<br>* reduced absenteeism<br>* less political infighting<br>* greater levels of manager-worker trust<br>* reduced defect rates<br>* higher customer satisfaction<br><p>A well-run survey can give your organization these benefits. However, a poorly conducted survey can have the opposite effect. Surveys badly planned, rolled out and followed up can actually increase employee cynicism and resistance to change. It may also worsen employee turnover and absenteeism. And this impacts on customer satisfaction and your bottom line.<p><B>Communication Survey Tips</b><p>So, what do you need to consider before rolling out your survey? Here are seven useful tips to get you heading in the right direction.<p><I>Question types</i><p>Include in your survey questions requiring limited tick-the-box responses, such as Yes/No and Strongly Agree/Agree/Disagree/Strongly Disagree. Including these questions will allow you to perform quantitative analyses that you can use to compare results between different demographics and to use as a benchmark for future surveys.<p>However, just as importantly, allow provision for free form comments. Everything that people will want to say will not fit into your pre-packaged boxes. A good idea is to run Focus Groups with a random sample of survey respondents after the survey forms have been collected and analyzed. These discussion groups are invaluable in performing a sanity check on your results so far and in teasing out issues that have surfaced in the written survey.<p><I>Anonymity</i><p>Guarantee absolute anonymity for the people completing the survey and make this clear in the survey instructions. Some employees will either not complete the survey or give sanitized answers if they believe that their identity will be disclosed with their answers and comments.<p><I>Sample size</i><p>Should you survey the whole organization/department or a select group? Preferably, survey all employees as this gives everyone a sense of being listened to. If the organization/department is excessively large or budget is tight, draw a random sample from each of the demographic groups that you will be reporting on.<p>If your selection is not random, the survey results will not be representative and you will lose credibility with your client managers and employees. If a demographic group comprises 50 people or less, you will need to survey 100 percent of the people within that group.<p><I>Mode of delivery</i><p>If the people completing the survey are small in number and at the one location, then hardcopy distribution will not be a problem. As the number of respondents increase and the locations become more dispersed, give more consideration to the need for electronic distribution. Think about putting the survey on a local intranet or internet web server.<p>To make filling out the form easy for people, have it so that the form can be completed online. If this is not possible, either send the form by email or put it on an accessible server from which people can download it. If your survey respondents are not comfortable with technology, then be wary of online options and provide plenty of employee support if you decide to go down that road.<p><I>Inducements and Reminders</i><p>Survey participation rates are typically ten percent or less. You can dramatically improve on this completion rate by conducting some simple follow up. As you get closer to the survey cut-off date (of course, you will have publicized that date with your survey), send out an email reminder or have someone call the respondents personally. Advertising a prize to go to the first to complete the surveys will also increase the participation rate.<p><I>Distribute results</i><p>Once the results are in and analyzed, distribute your findings first to your client managers and then to employees. Withholding results from employees will only breed cynicism and distrust and make your next survey all that more difficult to get a satisfactory response rate.<p>Break down your results into meaningful groups, such as by department or by region. The reporting groupings need to be small enough that people can identify with the group enough for a meaningful action plan to be developed.<p>Be prepared for some kickback from defensive managers. Frank employee feedback is both confronting and jarring, especially for those managers not used to it. Use your best facilitation skills to deliver the key messages. If you are in a politically charged environment, use a professional facilitator to perform this sensitive task.<p><I>Follow up and Rewards</i><p>A survey conducted with no plan for action is not only a waste of resources but will leave employees asking why they bothered to feedback to managers how they felt. Work with each manager to construct an action plan that they agree with. Remember, it is the manager that will be implementing the plan, not you. Get back with each manager three or six months later to review how they are progressing with their plan and report the results to the organization. As you see communication practices improve across the organization, make sure that managers get rewarded.<p><br>By following the above tips, you're sure to get the most benefit from your employee communication survey. The key is to leave room for free form comments on the survey form whilst guaranteeing that participants will not be identified in the results. Make the survey accessible and follow up to ensure that a sufficient number of people respond. You can maximize your response rate by offering rewards. After analyzing the results, distribute to all employees. A survey report ignored is a survey wasted, so develop an action plan and follow up with managers.<p>2006 ? Business Performance Pty Ltd.

To top it, why do companies pay for participating in a survey? This small write-up will help you understand the basics of survey and the paid form of surveys.<p>Survey is nothing but data or information collection. This information is processed to arrive at a useful conclusion. This useful conclusion may be in the form of new product or better customer service or larger distribution network. All of this is done to enhance customer satisfaction about a product. Surveys are essentially statistical in nature. The non-statistical approach to people's opinion is termed focus group interviews. Focus group interviews hover around qualitative aspects of people's opinion about a product. Surveys are conducted over a large number of people against very few in case of focus group interviews. Person participating in a survey is called respondent. Questions are asked her regarding her perception about a product. Surveys try to understand overall perception of the population based on the responses of the people surveyed. The group of people surveyed is called sample.<p>The findings from the sample are treated to be as though these have come from the whole population. For example, survey about new features in a car will have only couple of thousands of respondents across the country. However, the aggregate response from these couple of thousand of people will be treated as if it had come from the whole car owners' population in the country.<p>Surveys are conducted in various ways - paper, email, snail mail, telephone and online. While each has its own set of pro's and con's, paper surveys have been most popular in the past. With so many surveys being conducted by as many companies, participants have started losing interest and involvement in the process. This has offered the impetus to online surveys where people can fill the questionnaire in their leisure time, and can even think of skipping some. There is no obligation and necessity to complete the surveys. The large number of surveys has discouraged people from participating in surveys. This reason alone has resulted into offering incentives to people to participate in surveys. This is where the story of paid surveys start. paid surveys are voluntary in nature - you need not take part in each and every survey. If you qualify, you are paid for taking part. This is a win-win situation for all the three - participant, research agency and the company for whom survey is being conducted. <br><p>Dave is the owner of <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.fun-surveys.info">http://www.fun-surveys.info</a> and <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.top-gear-survey.info">http://www.top-gear-survey.info</a> websites providing information on paid surveys and scams.<h5>Related Articles:-</h5><li><a href="http://instantly-get-paid-for-surveys.blogspot.com/2007/10/interesting-surveys.html">Interesting Surveys</a></li><li><a href="http://instantly-get-paid-for-surveys.blogspot.com/2007/10/using-surveys-to-gather-valuable.html">Using Surveys to Gather Valuable Customer Data</a></li><li><a href="http://instantly-get-paid-for-surveys.blogspot.com/2007/10/surveys-profits.html">Surveys = Profits</a></li><li><a href="http://instantly-get-paid-for-surveys.blogspot.com/2007/10/employee-communication-surveys-seven.html">Employee Communication Surveys: Seven Tips For Suc...</a></li><li><a href="http://instantly-get-paid-for-surveys.blogspot.com/2007/10/basics-of-paid-surveys.html">The basics of paid surveys</a></li>Instantly Get Paid For Surveyshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15576403749139929472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4518444361064106565.post-71048213921500165142007-10-22T22:36:00.000-07:002007-12-25T23:23:44.747-08:00Simple Steps To Taking Paid Surveys Online<p><br><p>Did you know that every year companies world wide spend an excessive amount of $250 billion dollars trying to sell their products and services. Almost a billion of this money spent goes straight into market research. And this is why online paid surveys pay so much.<p><br>If you spent a couple of million dollars developing a new product you'd want to make sure people like it and you'd also want to know all things that people don't like about it. Paid surveys are a perfect place to test new products and services before companies launch them publicly. <p><br>There are currently an estimate of 7,500,000 million companies throughout the world that pay for surveys offline and online. However due to the popularity of the internet surveys are recently been very popular and a good source of income for some people. If you did enough high paying surveys you can actually turn it into a side job or even a full time job. It's a perfect home based businesses for moms, students or anyone who's looking to work their own hours.<p><br>How Does Online Paid Surveys Work?<p><br>When a company decides to trial their new product or services they contact market research companies who have a list of database of consumers. Companies then have the advantage of testing their product or services on particular groups of people. Survey participants are then paid after each survey is complete by cash or cheque. However surveys are also conducted over the phone or in person and usually pay a high rate since it is not as convenient as an online survey.<p><br>Before you participate in a survey the market research companies usually profile you by giving you simple questions. Once they are able to place you in a profile you'll be called upon according to your profile to test various products and services. Some surveys may include:<p><br>* Watching movies<br>* Test driving a car<br>* Cosmetics<br>* Opinions on a product or service<br>* And much more<p><br>The Advantages of Paid Online Surveys<br>You can do it at your own pace in the comfort on your home or office. You choose the hours to work and you'll get paid according to what you've just surveyed. Additional income for some people and a full time job for some.<p><br>The Disadvantages of Paid Online Surveys<br>It might cost a fair bit to sign up to the paid survey database services who have all the connections with the marketing research companies. However you only pay this fee once and some paid online survey websites even offer a money back guarantee so you can try all of them out until you're happy with one.<br><h1>About the Author</h1><br><p>Top 5 Online <a rel="nofollow" href=http://www.paidsurveycritic.com">Paid Survey</a> websites reviewed side-by-side.

What kind of car do you think you'll buy next? Can you name 10 brands of beer?<p>If you think it might be fun to answer questions like the ones above, you're a good candidate to take paid surveys.<p>While some people still find it hard to believe, it's absolutely true that companies are willing to pay you to take surveys. Why? It's simple; your opinions matter. <p>For example, before a company releases (or even makes) a product, they need to know if it's a good idea. After all, they don't want to incur the huge costs of creating and marketing something that won't sell. So they hire a market research company to survey people (like you) and find out what they think.<p>Similarly, some companies just want to identify trends or discover ways of improving existing products. Do you prefer their product or one of their competitor's? Why? Is it cost? Is it quality? Something else? If you could change their product to make it better, what would you tweak? All of that information is incredibly valuable to a company. And they're willing to pay for it.<p>That's where you come in. <p>All you need to do is join a market research panel. The more panels you join, the more paid surveys you'll get. The good news: there are a lot of panels online and they're all free to join. The bad news: there are a lot of panels online. <p>Finding the best companies to join is difficult. But you have a few options.<p>1) Do it yourself. <p>You can search online for market research companies, ask friends who may have experience taking paid surveys, etc. This can be pretty time consuming. Another difficulty may be trying to decipher which market research companies send frequent surveys or which ones pay the most. Why take the time to join a company if they're defunct, rarely send surveys, or pay minuscule amounts for your time? You'll either never receive any paid surveys or those that you do get won't be worth taking.<p>2) Pay a web site.<p>There are many web sites which claim to have extensive lists of companies that will pay to take surveys. Most of these sites charge people $35 - $50 to gain access to their list. If you go this route, make sure the list only contains active companies (so you don't waste time on companies that no longer exist) and gives details about which ones are the best to join. It's also a good idea to verify the site offers a money-back satisfaction guarantee. If you're not happy with the list or promises of riches that never materialize (some of the sites make pretty lofty claims about possible income), don't be shy about asking for a refund.<p>3) Visit a free web site.<p>If you don't want to shell out the cash, finding a web site that offers a list for free is your best option. You probably won't find a list as large as the pay sites offer but you should be able to discover at least a dozen quality companies worth joining. For most people, that's more than enough to keep them busy.<p>Whatever path you take on your way to becoming a paid survey expert, it's important to remember one thing: taking paid surveys is a hobby, not a job. Keep that in mind and you'll always enjoy it.<p><br><p>The author is the webmaster of <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.GetPaidGuides.com">http://www.GetPaidGuides.com</a>, a directory of honest companies that reward people for doing things online - like taking surveys, accepting offers, and reading email.<h5>Related Articles:-</h5><li><a href="http://instantly-get-paid-for-surveys.blogspot.com/2007/10/make-money-online-with-high-paying.html">Make Money Online With High-Paying Surveys, Auto-S...</a></li><li><a href="http://instantly-get-paid-for-surveys.blogspot.com/2007/10/importance-of-french-property-surveys.html">The Importance Of French Property Surveys</a></li><li><a href="http://instantly-get-paid-for-surveys.blogspot.com/2007/10/disappointed-with-paid-surveys-programs.html">Disappointed with Paid Surveys Programs?

With a computer and a little advice, you?ll be all set to make some extra cash for you and your family. <br><br><b>Be realistic</b> <br><br>You first have to realize that when you take online surveys, you won?t be paid thousands of dollars. In fact, the people that do take online surveys regularly will usually say that the best way to make more money is to take more surveys. <br><br>You?ll need to sign up for a few different online survey sites in order to have a constant stream of surveys to complete. <br><br><b>Watching out for scams</b> <br><br>When you do see ads to take online surveys that supposedly pay thousands of dollars, you can be certain that these aren?t legitimate claims. <br><br>In order to make money with online surveys, you will need to file your information with reputable companies. These are easy to find by looking for the company information to see if they give you ways to contact them. Those companies that seem to be hiding from you usually have a reason. <br><br>And if the company tells you that you need to pay money in order to make money, then go to another web site. You shouldn?t have to pay to earn extra money. <br><br><b>Market research</b> <br><br>One of the best ways to make some extra money or earn some free products is to participate in market research surveys. These tend to come from the big name companies that want to know what their customers think. You?ll answer questions about their products and give suggestions about ways that they could improve. <br><br>In many cases, you can be rewarded with free products or cash payments. <br><br><b>Focus groups</b> <br><br>Another way to make money online is to become a part of a focus group. This is an invitation from a company to set with other customers and discuss a particular product or service.

Whether it's a paid survey or focus group, the idea is the same - market research companies want your opinion and are willing to give you cash and free merchandise for you to spend your time filling out their surveys. <br><br>In this article, we will clear up the mystery surrounding "paid surveys". <br><br><b>What is a paid survey?</b> <br><br>A paid survey, or "market research survey", is a series of questions that are presented to either an individual, or group of individuals, to see how they perceive and respond to certain products or services. Each and every person fits into some type of demographic (segments of human populations broken down by age, sex, income, etc.), that certain products or services are marketed to. For instance, athletic equipment may be marketed towards a younger, physically active demographic, while luxury cars might be marketed towards a higher income demographic. These online surveys are offered for free as a means to understand certain markets better. <br><br><b>What is a focus group?</b> <br><br>A focus group is another type of survey where a group of individuals are invited to discuss a certain topic related to the company that sponsors the focus group. You may or may not know the point of the discussion and they are often hosted by a moderator that will guide the discussion. These focus groups can be held at a physical location or online and usually lasts between 30 minutes to 2 hours. The compensation can range from up to , depending on the topic and time involved. <br><br><b>Why is my opinion so important?</b> <br><br>Companies spend hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars on advertising for new and/or existing products and services. These "advertising campaigns" can sometimes be a complete waste of time and money if the company does not research the market that they are trying to capture. So it makes sense for a company to see how it's products or services are received by the public, before it invests the money and time on advertising. This is where the market research survey comes in, and this is why your opinion is so important. <br><br><b>I understand all that, but why would they pay me money?</b> <br><br>The answer to this question is very easy and boils down to one thing; Your time is worth their money! Think about it this way...if you are going to introduce a new type of tennis racket into the market, but you're unsure if it's needed or wanted, would you rather spend thousands of dollars on advertising, or simply pay 50 tennis players and find out their opinion about tennis rackets? <br><br><b>Okay, so how much can I really make taking paid surveys?</b> <br><br>Compensation from survey companies can range from $1 up to $75 per survey, and most surveys take around 6-12 minutes to complete. There are some companies that offer points for completing a survey, and those points can then be redeemed for gift certificates, merchandise, cash and prizes. You can even be entered into raffles for prizes after completing certain surveys. No matter what the compensation, all legitimate survey companies will tell you up front, before you begin the survey, what the compensation will be. The more you take, the more you make. <br><br><b>How am I paid, and is that money taxed?</b> <br><br>The market research company that sponsors the survey or focus group will send you your compensation, usually by mail. The money that they tell you the survey is worth is the amount you will receive by check. It is entirely possible to receive multiple checks from multiple research companies at various times of the month. Since you will be operating as an independent contractor, you are responsible for filing taxes on all the money earned you have earned. <br><br><b>Is there a limit to the number of paid surveys I can take?</b> <br><br>There is no limit to the amount of surveys or focus groups you can participate in online. You can offer your opinion every day, all day and get paid for it. <br><br><b>Who is eligible to take a paid survey?</b> <br><br>Almost anyone is eligible to sign up for and take online surveys, although some companies may have certain age restrictions. Some companies will allow surveys to be completed by people 13 years of age or older, while other survey companies require you to be 18 years of age or older. <br><br><b>Do I need to fit a certain profile to participate in a paid survey?</b> <br><br>When you register with a market research company, you are asked a preliminary set of questions to figure out what type of profile you have. That profile will be used to determine what surveys and focus groups you will be invited to participate in. Since there are hundreds of research companies that sponsor surveys, the more you sign up with will increase the number of paid surveys are offered to you. <br><br><b>What kinds of questions are asked on paid surveys?</b> <br><br>You are asked a wide range of questions, such as where you prefer to shop or what kind of shampoo you use. You will be asked about products that you have tried and what products you continue to buy. The questions on research surveys are given to better understand the different markets the company is trying to capture, which is why your answers are so valuable to them. <br><br><b>Will I be ever required to pay to take an online survey?</b> <br><br>There are many paid survey opportunities on the internet, and they all are offered 100% free of charge. However, there are a few paid survey directory websites ("paid survey programs") that charge a fee to join. They have spent their time researching all the paid surveys online to find the legitimate ones, and have listed them all in one spot. The one time sign-up fee that is charged by these websites are to maintain their directory and keep their paid survey list up to date and accurate. <br><br><b>Are these paid survey programs worth the money?</b> <br><br>Yes. In our opinion, they are very worth the money. These paid survey programs have established relationships with hundreds of survey companies (more than we offer) and provide an invaluable resource for you to find quality paid surveys in one convenient location. For your initial sign-up fee, you get access to every paid survey company in their directory and save you time by weeding out the scams and fraudulent survey companies. <br><br><b>I heard that paid survey programs are a scam - Is it true?</b> <br><br>The simple answer is no. But of course, nothing is that simple. A lot of people want things for free, and when they have to pay, they end up expecting the world. They want to sign up, pay the money and then go to their mailbox and start collecting checks. They don't realize that there still is work involved. But the underlying point is that these paid survey programs deliver on exactly what they advertise - access to their database listing 100's of market research companies. Remember, the bottom line is that if you don't like what they offer, you are entitled to your money back and they deliver on that, too. <br><br><b>In conclusion</b> <br><br>It's very important to do all your research and find out all that you can about the paid survey you are going to take, and the market research company that you are signing up with. You can definitely make some good money online, so good luck and have fun!</p><p style="background-color: #FFFFFF; width: 100%; padding: 0px;" class="text">This article was written by G.
