More people all over the world are making money with surveys online. There are numerous companies that are willing to pay consumers to take part in surveys as a way of finding ways to improve their products or services.
There are a few things to keep in mind when you are considering making money with surveys online.
Don’t expect to make thousands from just one site. You might only get one or two surveys per week when starting out.
Work it like a business. You need to be vigilant about passwords and take some time out to register and search for more paid survey sites. Check your email often to keep track of any surveys you may be requested to take part in.
Be honest. You will be offered surveys based on the information you provide in the registration questionnaire, so the more information you provide the better your chances of being selected for a wide array of surveys online.
Be prepared for a possible delay. Surveys online are usually looking for specific types of people, so you may not be selected immediately.
Take out some time to fill out screening surveys. This way, you can receive more surveys.
Make sure that you only use legitimate survey companies.
Some companies in South Africa offering surveys online:
Paid ViewPoint
This company starts off with low-paying surveys, but they use these surveys to start building a profile for you.
Paid ViewPoint also keeps track of your profile through “TraitScore”. The higher you get your TraitScore, the more you get paid per survey.
iPoll
This company will email you surveys and tell you how much you will get paid. They will also give you an estimated time for taking the survey.
Keep an eye out for survey opportunities. The more companies you sign up with, the more surveys you’ll be able to complete.
