ANSWER: The reason these companies pay is simple... Manufactures, and corporations constantly pay out millions of dollars annually to research companies to acquire data from everyday consumers like you and me. Now why would the survey companies pay us?
Well think about it like this...how many people who you know really LOVE doing surveys in there spare time? Thinking deeper..you yourself at some point may have had a hard time getting people to do a survey for some reason...whether it was for a family reunion, workplace improvements, activities to have at a BBQ etc. Most people rather find something else to do with there time because time is valuable.
Recieve pay from doing sample poll surveys like this one:
Below is a very small list of reasons companies pay for survey data:
- To improve consumer electronics..
- To improve web, delivery, food services..
- To improve public relations..
- To see what people enjoy watching on TV..
- To see what kinds of people drink certian bevearges..
- To get political viewpoints. and so on..
And because time is so valuable, companies pay consumers to tell them what they think of their company. What consumers are thinking controls everything about how these companies will perform in the future. What is a better way to gain an edge on your competitors than to get the secrets they need directly from the ecomonic consumers?

2. STOP! Put down your Debit Card!
Before you get overly excited entering your 16 digit credit card numbers into the first website you run across..please read up on this first.Paid Research is FREE, and requires no money down...period. Just your time and patience is required.. |
Beginners are led to believe that before they can make good money from paid research, you have to pay something. This is misleading. DO NOT PAY FOR SURVEYS. Many bogus ad sites charge unsuspecting participants claiming that they will have access to "member restricted" surveys that aren’t otherwise accessible. These "restricted surveys" are the same as the sites that are already available online...for free. So do your research, before giving away your money |
Survey "Training"
Survey training which is what you're getting now for free is what you would be paying for. Most scam survey sites will charge you anywhere from $40-$100 standard. If you sign up for additional service, you can find yourself out of up to $200. You can very easily make back lost money doing online surveys, but why give away money.

Not all Survey Sites accept Newbies Right Away
A few research companies do not accept regular sign ups and only accept sign ups during random time periods, or specially invited by current member. Pine Cone Research is a good example of a site that is not continually open for new registrations.
