Get Paid To Take Surveys!

Paid surveys are the easiest way to make money online. In essence, all you need to do is give your opinion about various products. Big companies like Coca Cola, McDonalds and others wants to know what you think of their services and products AND are happy to pay you to tell them. In this lens I will tell you about your options, how it works and how much money you can make by giving you a glimpse of my own earnings. Enjoy!

The Big Question: How Much Money Can You Make? 

Everyone wants to know!

First let me start by saying that the various paid survey sites claim you can make $3500+ per month doing this. Is it possible?

Speaking of personal experience I would say, yes, very much so. A disclaimer however: I have not yet made that amount of money. Last month (February 2009) I made $1800, but I can see the potential of making more. I only worked 30-45 minutes per day so it's quite good money.

Furthermore I made this money using just ONE service called Surveys 4 Checks. I will tell you exactly how I did it in my in-depth overview of Surveys 4 Checks below, but don't go anywhere yet! Read on!

In order to make $1800 which I did, you need to earn $60 per day for 30 days. In brief here's what I did: I did 3-4 surveys per day and joined 1 focus group per week for 4 weeks. That's all!

Survey Super Tip #1

Don't just choose one company and do surveys for them. Sign up for many! More Work = More Money

Top 5 Paid Survey Portals 

Here's my top 5, what's yours?

Many paid survey sites promise more than they can keep. I have tested quite a few and there are currently 5 that I like to use (more can be added at any time).
  1. Survey 4 Checks
  2. Highest Pay Surveys
  3. Survey Scout
  4. Paid Surveys Etc.
  5. Paid Surveys Online

Survey Super Tip #2

Don't just do paid surveys! The various paid survey sites also offer other things like focus groups, get paid to read, drive, shop etc.. The more you do, the more money is coming in!

I work from home 

Just imagine waking up around 9-10, eat some breakfast with your wife, do some surveys at 12 and then spend the rest of the day at the beach or in the park with the people you love. Working from home is the best job in the world! Working 9 to 5 at a standard office job isn't for everyone and certainly not for me. It took a while before I was able to do this, but when it happened, my quality of life increased tenfold. It simply can't be put into words, even though I am trying my best here. You will have to try it yourself.

My daily routine 

My daily routine as a survey worker goes like this:

I wake up at 7 (I like to get started early). I do some exercise before I make breakfast for me and my wife at 8. At around 9 I like to get our and take a nice walk (depending on weather of course) and I start filling out surveys between 10 and 11. After that I am pretty much free to do whatever I want to do. I can go to the beach, go to a cafe with my wife or hiking. This lifestyle is surreal I have to tell you, but it's so great. I can't go back to my old routine and neither can you once you have tried working from home.

My tips for keeping a good work-life balance from home 

In recent times it has been very popular to attack the old saying: Work smarter, not harder. Why is that so terrible? Why doesn't it work? I can tell you right now that this is the way you have to think. You need to balance your life and work in such a way that you feel relaxed and happy at all times. Working an hour a day will do that to you IF you have something to do while not working. It's great! Try it and you'll see that there's no way back.

The Biggest Mistake Most People Make About Paid Surveys

The biggest mistake people make when looking for paid surveys are going for the free paid survey sites.

Why is this so bad?
Because most if not all of the free services out there give you low-paying opportunities and way to little. I tried them for a while and was only able to make $30-40 per month. Once I chose a paid service like Surveys 4 Checks which I highly recommend, opportunity came knocking on my door. I made $1800 from this last month alone!

Survey Super Tip #3

There are strength in numbers! Do 5 surveys that pays $10 instead of 3 surveys that pays $15. The cheaper ones are faster to finish so you can do more!

Top 3 Paid Survey Tips 

These tips will fill your bank account, so pay attention!

Here's 3 tips that I used to make $1800 last month by filling out surveys:

Sign up for a paid survey portal
This one is crucial if you don't want to spend a lot of time researching and figure out which company you want to go for. You can go the completely free route, but in my opinion it's just not worth it. Let the professionals handle that bit so all you need to do is go with the top recommended services, do the surveys and get paid.

My paid survey portal recommendation: Survey 4 Checks

Sign up for many companies
When you decide to sign up for a paid survey portal, you will have a massive amount of companies that pay you to do surveys. Concentrate on the top companies listed within the paid survey and sign up for them. I signed up for 10 companies so I had a nice healthy selection of surveys and rewards.

It's all in the numbers!
This is most important. When you have a lot of surveys to choose from, which do you choose? My advice is to choose many, but do the ones that takes the least amount of time to do. After all, time is money! You can do a survey that pays really well, but they usually takes a long time to do. Do the ones that pay less and you can use your time better and make more money at the end of the month.

Readers: Do you work from home, too? 

I work full time from home now, but it wasn't always the case. I started out making a little money here and there and then I found the secret to it all which I will share with you here in this very lens. Working form home simply can't be beat. I can do whatever I like when I like it. Work as much as I like and from anywhere. If I want to go to Hawaii, I can with good conscience and a healthy bank account.

I do work full time from home; I don't fill out surveys, though. Interesting career option. I might have to look into this as a side gig.

No

Survey Super Tip #4

Outsource! Pay someone $10 per hour to do 5 surveys for you. You will easily make $50 per hour and you can sit and do nothing. Truly passive income!!!
