ONLINE SURVEYS

This is the great way to make an extra paycheck every month. You won´t get rich with this method, that´s for sure, but you can earn enough to pay of both your car payments and mortgage every month, plus some bills. Average monthly earnings are 2000 – 3000$, but it is possible to make twice that much or more. You should sign up to at least 4 -5 survey sites to make that kind of money. Earnings per survey vary from 2-3$ to 70$. This works on the following principle: big enterprises (like Microsoft, Nokia, General Motors, Coca Cola, etc) pay to companies that do market research to get user opinion of their products. Market research companies usually do this via the Internet, because that´s the simplest way to get to the general population. You will receive survey invitations in e-mails and by clicking to the link in the message you will be taken to the survey. Some surveys are made only for specific profile of people, so you may receive qualification surveys before taking the real thing. If you are asked to give info about your education, earnings or marital status upon signing up to some survey site, we advise you to say that you are married (with children) , you finished college and that you make average paycheck. This way you will receive more surveys and thus make more money. The number of surveys will also vary from one survey site to other and may depend on your country – if you live in USA, Canada or United Kingdom you will receive more surveys than the rest of the world. The biggest problem with this business is that 80% of survey sites are scams!(!!) Search the internet for reliable sites which are known to pay their users and send surveys often to start with, but if you want this to work you should keep the following in mind:

1.) Don´t join sites which request that you pay them membership or even one-time fee. You don´t pay your employer to give you the job!!!

2.) Don´t be fooled by professional looks of the site or the claims that they are not the scam.

3.) You should always do some research on the Internet or forums about the site you´re thinking of joining.
