Getting Paid To Fill Out Surveys Online At Home

It sounds too good to be true, but yes, you can be paid for sitting at home in your pyjamas filling out surveys on your computer!
Companies need satisfied and loyal customers. They employ marketing people whose main job is to find out just what the company has to do to make their customers satisfied, and to persuade them to buy again, and again. You are quite likely to be just such a customer. And quite a few companies are likely to be seriously interested in exactly what you think about them and about their products or services.
You may be just the person they are looking for join in a sample of customers they can survey to get the answers they need, and they are likely to be perfectly happy to pay you for the time it takes you to provide this valuable information.
Yes, your opinion could be worth real money to some companies.
Interested? So where do you start?
You could try searching the internet, or phoning up company marketing departments. Try it if you like. You might get lucky, but chances are you will soon start to doubt anybody has any interest in your opinion! Don't worry, there is another way.
For a small investment in a subscription you can join up as a member of organised groups of people that make themselves available for company surveys. Kind of like a "matchmaker" service, linking you and companies that want to conduct surveys.
Paid Surveys
One of the most popular just now is Paid Surveys Online.
Its closely followed in popularity by the Survey Income System.
The older Survey Scout has a well established reputation.
A newer player on the block coming up fast is Express Paid Surveys.
These leading membership opportunities are not alone. Other survey subscriptions that are also worth checking out are:

You may find some overlap between each of these groups, but each adds their own twist. Frankly, if you want to be kept busy working on surveys you should consider joining up with several memberships to increase the pool of companies you can access. Its a small investment to make compared with the future income you could earn. Ask your accountant, the membership fee may even be tax deductible against the income you earn!
Some of the opportunities are not just for online surveys. You may also get opportuniies to participate in other ways. For example, there are telephone and face-to-face surveys, and focus group discussion research. You may even get to participate in ongoing research. Or even product trials!
Remember, if you want to be taken seriously and be asked to participate again, you need to take your responsibilities seriously. You need to provide a quality response that will be of value to the surveying company.
Companies do have their participation requirements of course, not the least of which is the relevance of your location. Most of the opportunities available in these memberships are targeting residents of the US and Canada. But increasingly there are international opportunities being added. Check out the current opportunities being offerred by each service.
If you are not sure whether a particular membership will work for you, you can always join up to try. Then you can take advantage of the refund options available if you feel you cannot get fair value from your membership.
If you have the time, helping companies with their market research can be both interesting and rewarding.
