There are many market research companies on the internet, that are looking for board members who can complete online surveys about new products or to express their views (good or bad) about the people who sell us these products. Signing up to these survey companies will take on usual around 5 minutes to do so. They will just need some background particulars about yourself, such as your gender, where you live, your age or your income. Be honest, as they are looking for a wide cross section of panel lists, and don’t worry about your individual details as these will be kept confidential. You can at all times make sure their privacy policy before you sign up.
After you have signed up to a survey site, surveys will start arriving into your inbox frequently within a week. Don’t feel you have to complete every survey that you be given. Most survey sites will keep sending you surveys yet if you haven’t finished any surveys for a few months, I can only think of Pine cone Research who will drop you from their board if you have ignored a couple of surveys.
Some surveys will take a few screener questions at the start of the survey to make sure that you fit the criterion of the survey. If you are not what they are looking for, then you will not be permitted to complete the rest of the survey. Most survey sites will give you a little incentive for your time when you don’t meet the criteria for the rest of the survey. Global Test Market will constantly give you 5 market points even when you don’t be eligible.
Surveys will differ in length, but most take between 5 and 20 minutes. Most survey sites operate point systems, cash payments or competition entries. Every survey site will have a special incentive system, but you can guess to be given on average, around 2 pounds per 20 minute survey. However, you can enhance your hourly pay by signing up to more survey sites, and being more selective on which surveys to finish first. In my opinion, I always complete the premier cash reward surveys first. However, don’t always disregard the competition surveys, as these can be good earners, as most panel lists will not bother to complete them. GFK is a good site for winning cash prizes in their usual prize draws.
Once you are established to the survey site that you are a good panel list, some survey sites will send you survey requests to take part in online focus groups. These are always worth doing, as the pay rate is much higher.
It can be hard to find authentic market research companies on the internet. You can expend ages searching for them on Yahoo or Google. However, to save you time, money and effort, I would recommend checking out Surveymoneymaker. There are over 40 survey sites listed here, who are at present looking for new panel members. All these sites are free to join.
Completing online surveys must be one of the easiest and pleasant ways to make some additional money in your spare time. There are very few home businesses that you can start with no preliminary investment!
