Teen Surveys: A Safe Way for Teens to Earn Money Online!
With all of the recent press about the negative impact the Internet is having on today's teens, it is nice to know that there are actually some good, rewarding websites for teens. While there are many educational and informative sites, I am going to focus on the topic of online teen surveys. No, I am not talking about the shady scams you see posted all over the Internet, I am referring to actual market research firms that host online survey panels to gather teen opinions for their corporate clients.
Parents, teen surveys are a safe way for your teens to earn cash and prizes, while influencing the direction of new products that enter the teen market. Like any paid activity, taking surveys online takes a little work, and will serve as an excellent way to teach your teens the value and rewards for putting forth effort. Parents, Teens Interested? Read on for more details, and specific information about the panels. All the panels listed on this lens accept teenagers; parents if you are interested in taking paid surveys, please visit my paid surveys guide lens for a wide selection of free paid market research panels.
Answers to Common Questions about Teen Surveys
- Are Teen Surveys Safe Online Activity? Are they Free?
Yes, taking paid surveys online is a safe activity if you join legitimate panels hosted by online market research companies. Never join any online panel that is not hosted by a company with contact information, a privacy policy, and a company record!
All of the panels listed here are free. Never join a panel that asks you for money or your credit card. These sites are usually scams. - Will they ask me personal information?
The survey panels will ask you basic questions like your age, hobbies, interest, etc. for the purposes of matching you up survey opportunities that match your profile. They will never sell your email, contact information, and they do not send spam. Again, these are real companies that have to abide by regulations. - How will the Panels Contact me?
Most survey panels contact you via email when they have a paid survey that matches your profile. Some of the panels also have a member's area where you can see current survey studies. - What types of surveys will I receive and what are the prizes?
Most surveys will take 15 to 25 minutes and will cover topics from movies, games, clothing, or any other service or product that caters to teens. In exchange for completing the surveys, you will earn points redeemable for cash or prizes depending on the panels.
