Getting Started - Paid Surveys
There are some simple steps we recommend that will help you get started with paid surveys.
Step 1 - Bookmark this Page
It is unlikely you are going to get all of this done in a single day, in fact impossible. So, to make life easy for you, we suggest you bookmark this page
Step 2 - Note Pad
You are going to have a lot of sites, and a lot of passwords and user names. You'll eventually want to record when you visited sites, and when you last updated your profiles. If you know how to use a word processor, or Notepad, you can record all your information there. Otherwise, you can use the low-tech method I use and use a pad and pen.
Before doing this, you might like to install a free copy of Robo form. This stores on-line passwords and will fill in repetitive information. A huge time saver for this kind of work, available from roboform.com
Step 3 - Public E-mail
Once you get into surveys, you'll find you will receive between 4 and 10 emails a day (depending on how involved you get). It's generally a good idea to keep your surveys sperate from your personal emails. We use Hotmail, but you can do the same with Yahoo, Google or email.com.
Most free e-mail software will identify surveys as spam, so you will have to check the Junk mail and add the sites to your contacts list. The easiest way to do this is to mark them as non-junk as you receive them
Step 4 - Register with a few
If you're really keen you can join all our sites in one hit. But we don't recommend it.
We suggest you join the first 4 survey sites in our Survey List and try them out first. You may find you hate taking surveys, even if you get paid for it, so why not test the water first. After a week, you should start receiving surveys and making some money. If you enjoy the surveys, then you can always join the others later.
Step 5 - Complete your Profiles
Many of the researchers will reward you for completing your profiles. Profiles take a while to complete, on some sites, but the more you do, the more surveys you will receive. Once the researchers know who you are, they can send surveys that match your profile.
Step 6 - Join the Rest
Once you have joined a few researchers, if you still enjoy it, join the rest on our list. The more you join, the more surveys you get, the more money and rewards you get. Fill out all the profiles. By the time you have finished you should be receiving 3-5 surveys a night, plenty to keep you busy and earning rewards.
Step 7 - Refer others
If you enjoy doing surveys, you might want to invite friends and relatives. Most sites offer you rewards for inviting new members. This is where you can make some good money. Once you are getting paid every time a referral takes a survey, you can start earning some serious money. See Referral Business for more information.
