So...let's continue.


1. The All Important Rules!

• In earning money for surveys, people believe that the majority of survey companies are large or moderate size firms having been in business for years.

  Nope!

  Many are companies comprised of a single person; a person who may be legit or a person who may not.

  What these people may do is collect personal data from you and then sell it to a larger survey site for profit. Or, far worse, try to scam you...but more about that latter.

  So Rule # 1 is, look for sites like this one who have conducted some research into survey sites to reduce your risk.

  You're not completely safe, (I just tell it like it is) but the chances are your business success should be enhanced.

• To get money for surveys is a popular business opportunity. Many entrepreneurs take free surveys for money and are quite pleased with their efforts.

  Taking surveys requires little skill. Plus, earning an income while giving an opinion is enjoyable to many.

  So Rule # 2 is, if you like taking surveys you might as well earn money for surveys at the same time.

• I suggest many people find survey "companies" by simply typing into the subject line something like, "earn money for surveys." Up pops dozens of different sites all claiming theirs is the best site to use to find "legit" survey firms.

  Be aware of such nonsense; you do not know anything about them.

  So Rule # 3 is, please do not blindly search for surveys to take. This is the best way to get "taken."

• Even legitimate survey companies require you to fill out "their" time consuming form. And, of course, no standardized form is ever used.

  So Rule # 4 is, obtain a free (usually) "auto-fill program" to reduce this time consuming task. Remember, time is money!

• Signing up with "one" survey company (or even five) with the expectation you'll earn substantial money for surveys taken is foolish.

  Why?

  Chances are you will only receive one, two or maybe three surveys from them every 10 days or so.

  This is because companies who are doing opinion research on their product or service are only looking for a "specific demographic," such as, single mothers under 19, retired persons over age 75, people within a certain income range or persons who wear glasses with blue colored frames and not contacts. You get the drift.

  So Rule # 5 is, you must sign up with several survey companies.

  How many?

  You'll have to ease into this number because the time you have to devote to your business will determine the number of surveys you can take on.

  You want your time devoted to earning money for surveys to be productive.

• What is the normal "pay' for taking surveys?

  Good question.

  Most survey companies pay $2 to $25 or sometimes even up to $75 per 10 to 30 minute survey.

  This tells you that you're not going to make the big bucks without devoting a significant amount of time to the effort. But it can be done!

  So Rule # 6 is, keep your prospective in check.

  Be realistic about your earnings potential. It stands to reason that close to a full time effort is required to earn significant money for surveys taken.

• Free. Rule #7 is, “all” legitimate surveys seek your honest opinion. So, they provide free online surveys.

  If a survey site asks for money, then it is a scam. Period!

2. Detect Survey Scams!

Also know that it has been estimated that up to 96% of all online survey companies offering "paid" surveys for you to take are "scams." So, being careful is the way to go.

The most common online survey "scams" are:

• A company may ask for your Social Security number and/or your checking account number (so they may make direct deposits into your account) or even a credit card number. This is your first clue.
• A company may offer you an opportunity for taking surveys for money. You sign up because they do not ask for you SS#, checking account # or for a credit card.

  Later they contact you welcoming you aboard and offer a "deal."

  You can be placed on a "preferred" survey list for only, say, $49.95.

  On this "preferred" list you get more money-making surveys and are paid lots more dollars. This sounds to good to be true? It’s not true.

  Run.

  No legitimate survey company "ever" asks for money. Period.

• Scam survey sites usually will take the first step and contact you. Run! That's another clue.
• Scam survey sites are in big bold colors and literally offer you the moon, like make $1 million a year.
• Legitimate sites will have a "privacy policy" and/or an endorsement from the better Business Bureau. Without this or something similar, be very careful.

3. Best Way to Find Legitimate Online Surveys!

Trusted survey sites really do exist. You just have to find them.

How?

The method I definitely do not recommend is searching the Web yourself for survey companies or surveys to take.

You ever hear of “buyers beware?” Besides this is very time consuming.

What I do recommend is spending minimal dollars to find folks who have specialized in finding good, solid survey sites for you.

You owe it to yourself to find the best opportunities to earn the most money from surveys possible.

Yes, purchasing at least 3 or 4 of these specialized collection of sites may require an investment of around $100 or so, but what you receive will definitely be to your financial benefit!

Why?

1. Specialist will have investigated the survey sites they recommend.
2. Their experience in the survey business means they may know a little about the quality of their recommended survey sites, e. g., “Does this survey company pay quickly?”
3. These experts may tell you briefly about each of their recommendations. You can then judge whether you fit with what the survey company is looking for.

   This aids you in finding a proper match, so indeed you are able to earn money for surveys without wasting a whole lot of time.

4. The more you know about how a survey site operates, the better off you will be both financially and time wise.

Why do I recommend you invest in “at least” 3 or 4 of these specialized sites?

First, if you’re serious about earning money for surveys you take, you need to collect the experiences of these specialist sites so you avoid costly mistakes; mistakes that will cost you far more than the income you want to make taking surveys. This is especially true if you’re just starting out in your survey business or have not be as successful as you wished if you started your survey business a while ago.

There is no better investment for success than picking the fruit from others who have been successful!

Secondly, many of these specialized survey sites will give you additional options, other than just taking surveys, to earn an income.

Of course, these specialized opportunities cost a little more than others.

This could be as simple as eating at a restaurant and reviewing it, being a mystery shopper, having new products sent to you to use, analyze and keep and even participating in focus groups..

Important. The more options you have the more opportunities you have to generate income.

Lastly, different survey specialty sites offer different surveys online for money. This is why it is important to explore and invest minimal dollars…to get the widest possible earning opportunities.

4. The 10 Best Researched Recommendations

I have explored over 100 specialized survey sites to find what I consider your best options.

I hope you look at all 10 of my recommendations and then choose to invest in at least 3 or 4 of them.

It is important that you make your own determination to see if any of them meet your set goals.

Good luck in starting your business to earn money for surveys.

PART A:

The greatest potential in earning money for surveys is to review and then choose from the several specialty offerings listed below.

Those listed in PART A offer a variety of income producing options. Plus, they provide specific details on how to maximize your earnings to fit the time you can devote to your effort.

Each comes with a risk free money back guarantee.

I strongly recommend any of the following:

1. Sarah Garringer has developed a solid site, Surveys 4 Checks , offering a step-by-step guide to boost your income.

   She provides a variety of earning options for you including shopping, testing sample products, reading and eating.

   In addition to surveys, she offers income potential in the following areas: driving your car, testing video games, participating in focus groups, critique movie trailers and more.

3. I like Sarah Cooper’s inclusion of software in her package that will aid you in filling out data forms quickly…a real time saver. Her site, Quick Paid Surveys offers more than 490 income earning opportunities for you.

   You may choose from surveys, focus groups, phone surveys, new product testing and previewing movie trailers.

   You’ll also be pleased with the “three bonus programs” she includes in her package.

   This potential opportunity is a real winner!

4. If you are committed to working from home taking surveys plus participating in lots more “stuff,” then Kimberly Robbins may have a super opportunity for you. Her site, Paid Surveys and More is for the serious person desiring to grow their survey business along with other opportunities for earning money that she offers.
5. A survey site that is less expensive than others I recommend is called, Paid Surveys . It offers at least 60 legitimate money making opportunities for you.

   Also offered to you is a great ebook called, “Cracking the Code on Paid Surveys.”

   It’s free and very valuable in helping you grow your survey business.

6. A stay at home Mom, Audrey Casey, offers you excellent earning potential through her site, Top-Paying-Surveys . Her market research background helps her select the many kinds of better paying opportunities for you.

   You owe it to yourself to check this out if your serious about earning money for surveys as a business.

PART B:

These groups of survey opportunities are the cream of the crop.

They specialize in the taking of surveys only.

This may be an advantage for you because they focus their total attention in their specialty area. Only you can tell as you look at each potential opportunity.

I strongly recommend each for your review!

Of course, each offers a money back guarantee.

1. International Income Club focuses exclusively on providing surveys for you to take for cash.

   This site shows you actual surveys and the amount people were paid to take them.

2. Sandy Branch site, Surveys at Home is truly at great opportunity for those persons wanting to make serious money for surveys.

   She is looking for people who want this to be a business and not a hobby.

   Even if you work only part time, as long as you are serious about your effort, then “Surveys from Home” may be for you.

   She offers over 500 paid survey companies with free updates for life.

3. National Survey Resources is a membership site where consumers worldwide participate in taking online surveys for money.

   It is a well-known site providing solid survey opportunities. There is no hype.

   You should check this out.

4. Get lifetime membership for a very reasonable investment when you subscribe to Cash Surveys Only .

   Their worthwhile claim to fame is that they do not just list “any survey company out there,” but only hard to find, tested and approved real survey companies that pay cash.

For Your Added Protection, as you Earn Money for Surveys

After you select from the above 10 Best specialty sites, you will have several opportunities before you.

For your added protection against scams I recommend you type in the subject line of your web browser your survey sites name followed by the word “review.” Check out what is said.

At the same time please be aware that individuals who publish their own website listing and promising money for surveys will purposely add negative comments about legit sites in hopes you will turn to their site.

I mentioned this earlier, but I look forward to hearing of your experiences as you make money for surveys taken.
