How to Use Paid Online Surveys to Supplement Income

In the age of the internet, we have all come across websites or received emails (often both) which promise a quick path to wealth with little work. This can be appealing to a large portion of the population; however, as you may have guesses, the promises are at best empty. Some unscrupulous marketers also use the same language to describe paid surveys, which is unfortunate, because even though paid surveys can put some extra money in your pocket, they are certainly not a means of becoming wealthy. To set the record straight, we would like to walk you through the process of how to supplement your main income with paid surveys, and what you can expect from the process.

What Are Paid Surveys?

Companies like Survey Junkie work with market research firms (which in turn work with companies that offer products or services) to develop and administer survey panels which are designed to learn what the consuming public thinks about existing products and services, and what it would like to see in future ones. So how can you get involved in this process as a paid survey taker?

How the Process Works

Anyone can sign up with Survey Junkie (or similar company) through a simple sign-up process, but it will take a bit of work before you can start receiving invitations to join survey panels. Once signed up, there is a detailed profile which needs to be completed so that the Survey Junkie system can use to match a user to current and upcoming survey panels. The more details a member provides through their profile, the more likely they are to be matched up with surveys, so it is important to complete the profile accurately, and as completely as possible.

Once the profile is complete and our system matches your profile to new surveys, you will receive notifications in your email box. You can choose to participate or skip invitations.

As you complete surveys, the earned funds are credited to your account where they can be redeemed for cash or gift cards once a minimum dollar-amount threshold have been met.

The process is simple, and straightforward, and is designed to help make the surveys as relevant to members as possible.

How Much Money Can I Make?

It is important to note that paid surveys will help you earn extra money; however, they are not going to be able to replace your main income. The amount of money most members will be able to earn is some extra pocket money to see a movie and enjoy a popcorn or cover a similarly small expense. Aside from the monetary benefits, surveys provide members with a pastime that can not only be interesting, but also help impact the development of future products and services from companies big and small.
