Why cash surveys are so popular

Well do you want money?? It is a simple question. Yes or no?

If you answered no, then you would have already left this page, so I’m guessing if you are still reading that you said “yes…..I want money!”

Well basically a large percentage of the population is looking to the internet as a way to try and earn some extra cash, and there is nothing easier to qualify for and get started with than taking online cash surveys. If you have an opinion, which I am yet to meet someone who doesn’t :wink: and if you are over 18 in most cases, have a computer, have the internet connected and a current email address, then in most cases, you’re in!

First question I usually hear is, “why would they pay me to answer their surveys?”

Well would you fill their surveys out if they didn’t pay you? Honestly would you? I don’t think I would, I have better things to do with my day than sit around and fill out surveys……but if you are going to pay me too, then hang on, maybe I will :lol: That’s how everything works nowadays, if you want results you have to pay for them. They want your honest opinion so that their market research teams can use all of that information to plan what to make, when to make it and how to get it in front of our noses so that we might buy it.

A lot of the time they want to know how to advertise their products to us, are we still watching TV at night, or are we now spending hours on the computer instead of watching the TV and are we still listening to the radio or do we mainly use or Ipod and MP3’s to listen to music now. It makes a huge difference to these companies and how they therefore market and advertise their products. The way they work it all out, is through researching the market, we are the market, we are the ones who buy their products, so therefore our opinions are very important to them.

Now like most things on this glorious internet, you do need to be careful. There are in fact a couple of thousand survey companies worldwide that all want you opinion, but not all of these are going to be worth your time and effort. There are some shonky ones out there that you won’t get much from, but don’t let that put you off, they are a lot of perfectly legit well paying companies who you will come to love.

My best advice is to try out the free ones first, see what exactly is involved, see if you like it and if you don’t, well no money lost, and put it down to experience. If on the other hand you quite like it and can see the potential to earn some good money out of it, then join up with one of the bigger membership sites that require a joining fee, as they will have a much larger list and they will constantly be updating it for you to take advantage of. Make sure the membership site you join up with offers a good solid money back guarantee before you part with your hard earned cash though.
