Online Paid Surveys - Let's Get Started!

Ok, let's get started ! First of all let me start off by telling you that you are not going to become a millionaire by doing surveys! This work-at-home opportunity represents a way to get a steady, regular income. The income is influenced by:

* The number of the market research companies you signed up with;

* The time you are willing to spend on doing surveys;

* Your demographics (based on your profile);

* Your luck. Yes, it's no joke. As many of the surveys "prize" is an entry in a sweepstakes, your luck can be a big factor.

The first thing you need to do is create an email account that you can check often. Why not your personal email account? There are a couple of reasons why you should do that:

* Most market research companies contact you via email. It's better to have all the emails on paid surveys in the same place. It's easier to organize them, easier to find something and you don't miss important surveys invitations;

* Avoid SPAM on your current email address. You will sign up with the new email address on multiple sites, some of them might condone spamming. It's better to "play it safe";

* You know what they say: don't mix pleasure with business. By keeping it separate from your personal email account, you become disciplined at checking for new paid online surveys because they won't be mixed in with other personal stuff.

The next step is joining the paid survey panels. After signing up, create or update your profile. Usually the first survey you take is information about you: name, gender, location, age, car you drive, any kids, education level, your job, and so on.

The last step is wait for surveys invitations and take the surveys. These paid surveys are basically about what televisions shows you watch, type of pizza you eat or soda you drink, banking, opinions about logo or shape designs of future products, type of restaurants you go to, how much are you willing to pay for certain items, etc.
