Ros' Ramblings
Just as diversifying your investable assets among different
types of
investments can enhance long-term returns while
reducing risk, so
diversifying your online money-making
strategies has the same effect.
It's from that perspective that I'm always on the lookout
for new ways to
generate revenue online.
Of all the Internet bizopps I've come across, one of those I
was most
skeptical about was paid online surveys.
Well, the best antedote to skepticism is direct research, so
a couple of
months ago I started looking into consumer
research companies and the realm
of online surveys.
I was pleasantly surprised. It turns out to be a bonafide
way to generate
income.
It takes a little while to get set up with a number of
different
companies, but once that's done, the surveys just
keep rolling in, as do the
checks.
Although it's unlikely you will earn enough to start driving
a Rolls by
doing online surveys, it could put a nice chunk
of change in your pocket.
I certainly appreciate each and every check that arrives,
and it's not
like it's difficult, back-breaking work!
In today's NPC I share what I learned about paid online
surveys with you
and hope that you too will benefit from
them!
Read, learn and prosper!
To Your Success,
Rosalind

Income Streams: How to Get Paid for Your
Opinion
E
Every year, companies in the United States spend over 250
Billion
dollars trying to convince consumers to buy
their products and
services, and that's JUST in the U.S.!
Although the lion's share of that money is spent on
advertising, a huge
amount is devoted to market research.
Understanding how we as consumers think and why we choose
certain products
over others, enables companies to improve
their goods and services. The
better they understand us as
consumers, the more money they make.
Because it PAYS them to know what we like and want,
companies are willing
to PAY us for our opinions.
It makes perfect business sense. Using the Internet as a
direct channel to
ordinary people like you and me, paying for
online surveys is a cheap,
efficient and very effective
way of gathering quality and highly targeted
market
research.
There are companies that will pay you up to:
** $ 99 per online survey
** $
250 per hour to participate in focus groups
** $ 150 per
hour to take phone surveys
** $4-25 per hour to view movie
trailers
Online surveys are general forms generated by marketing
research
companies, to get information on a particular
product or services. They
perform detailed investigation on
the feedback they get from you and pass it
on to top
companies.
Focus groups are meetings wherein the attendees express
their opinions on
a particular particular topic. They are
generally conducted by phone or
in chat rooms.
In other cases you can get paid to:
** Be a Mystery Shopper
** Shop and
read emails!
** Drive a free car
As a Mystery Shopper you are sent to a designated retail or
commercial
area to buy a product or service. You then
evaluate and comment on your
overall buying experience with
that establishment.
Some companies and advertisers pay cash for every email you
read about
their products. I've read about some who doing
this and making between $1,000
to $1,800 a month, no
gimmicks.
No doubt you want to know how about the free car! These
cars have
advertisements on them. Drive them, and you won't
pay insurance or monthly
installments. The companies
providing these vehicles earn their money from
the
advertising on the vehicle.
Payment is made in different ways. Some companies pay
instantly via
PayPal, whereas others will mail you a check.
In lieu of cash, some companies pay with:
** Napster Music Downloads
** Buy.com
Gift Certificates
Other companies will enter you into drawings for large cash
prizes,
let you earn points that can be used to buy
products, or redeem these points
for cash.
Whatever the method of payment, you will be provided with
the exact
compensation details before you decide to
participate.
Finding paid surveys online can be a time-consuming process,
and there are
number of scam operaters in the business.
Fortunately for us, a few smart entrepeneurs have developed
big databases
of reputable companies that are paying for
online surveys.
They themselves use those databases to earn all or part of
their
incomes.
The various databases that I researched list between 300 and
up to
almost
To gain access to these databases costs a one-time
membership fee of
between $29.95 and $37. However, just one
hour online can pay for your
membership!
Most accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover,
Eurocard, and
Visa-Debit, MasterCard-Debit, and Novus cards,
PayPal and online checks.
You have nothing to lose either. If you're not satisfied,
each company
offers a money back guarantee of between 60 and
90 days.
Most of these listing companies offer incentives to join
such as:
** Ebooks
** 250 free business cards
** Automation Software
** 2 free
airline tickets
** 3 day 2 night vacation
Your membership will entitle you to the latest industry news
and you
will be generally notified when new companies join
the database.
Generally, the surveys are between 10 and 15 minutes in
length, and
although you can make up to $100 by completing
one survey, $10 to $25 is far
more typical.
Although you probabaly won't get rich completing surveys, or
participating
in focus groups, you could make a tidy sum
doing it either full or part-time.
Basically, the more
surveys that you complete, the more money you will
make.
I rather prefer stacks of $10, 15 and $25 checks to the
alternative - no
checks at all! :-))
This great opportunity is well-suited to anyone who works
from home,
students, stay-at-home parents, retired people,
and for those with special
needs. And you can do it from
anywhere in the world!
And it doesn't matter if you live outside the U.S. This
opportunity is
open to people the world-over. As long as you
can cash a U.S. dollar check,
you can be in business.
Here, listed in alphabetical order, is a list of the best
online
databases of survey companies.
