Paid Surveys
Hi and welcome to the all new full Paid Survey Lens. Just like my Data Entry lenses, this one will provide you with tons of information, full reviews of programs and of course a scam list.
Paid Surveys are often looked at as scams or a waste of time. This is unfortunate because many of the legitimate payed survey companies lose out and so do the people in need of income.
In this lens I will try to organize all the conflicting information from the internet and help you make the right decision to avoid being scammed. I will also be providing a list of paid survey scams.
To start things off I am going to show you a pay stub I obtained from someone working with online paid surveys.
This particular pay stub is only of the past few months so who knows how much he was earning prior. Only other information I was able to get was that it took him a few months to master the surveys and get them done fast.
With this being said lets get into what paid surveys really are.

What Are Paid Surveys?
What You Need To Know About Paid Surveys
Paid surveys are a simple way of earning income online in the comfort of your own home. With these programs you basically take a survey and provide your honest opinion or thought. In return you are paid. Each survey will pay a different amount depending on questions and length.
The companies collect the information from the paid surveys and compare the results. In turn this helps them market there products and goods to generate better business.
One click of the mouse with a honest opinion can literally make a company thousands if not millions. So this simple task is very important.
A sample of a survey would be as follows:
Lets say a company wants to know about shoes they would ask specific questions about them so they could properly order or market there inventory.
Questions
1. Name:______________
2. Email: ______________
3. Gender:______________
4. How often do you purchase shoes:
Once or more a month
Once every 2 to 3 months
Once every 6 months
Once or less a year
So all you would do is fill in the information using your keyboard and check the box that appropriately fits what you do most. All information you provide is kept confidential so you will have peace of mind.
Its a very easy process but very important. Not only does your opinion help a company make more money but also change a product to fit your needs better. The way I see it is your helping yourself, providing your thoughts and earning income in the process.
