Paid online surveys are a relatively recent phenomenon. The fast turnaround and free communication of the Internet has made it possible for opinion polls and marketing research questionnaires to get to survey takers and return answers in hours or days rather than weeks or months. More and more online surveys are going out on a paid basis, to assure a large database of potential survey takers with diverse demographics and get fast responses.

To make money with these paid online surveys you need to:

Find a good guide company to help you get started off. You can do it on your own but it will take much longer and you are likely to get discouraged and give up before you achieve significant income. The first two or three paid online surveys you take will more than pay back the small membership fee these paid guide companies charge.

A good guide company is one which is:

1. Sizeable. Larger size indicates stability and proven longevity.

2. Growing. Growth indicates that they are doing something right, treating their clients well.

3. Has a good guarantee. Should have a money-back guarantee for 60 to 90 days.

4. Guaranteed. Has a financial company like PayPal, ClickBank or a major bank that backs up their guarantee.

5. Has a low refund rate. The refund rate or percentage of clients who ask for their membership fee back, is the best and strongest indicator of customer satisfaction. Low numbers (3-5%) are good. High numbers, above 10% are bad and should be avoided.

Once you pick your guide company and get started, set yourself up seriously to do what it takes to make money.

1. Get a separate free e-mail account for your paid online survey business.

2. Apply to all the survey maker sites that your guide company recommends. This will take some work, but remember, they cannot send you surveys to take until you tell them where you are and give them the necessary demographic information.

3. Check your e-mail inbox daily. Respond to all correspondence. Take all surveys for which you qualify.

4. Be patient. The survey makers will test to see which new enrollees respond quickly, and use that as a basis for future decisions about survey offers. It will go slowly at first, then gradually speed up.

If you apply yourself diligently, especially at first, during the application period, you should have little problem making good money through paid online surveys.
