Earn Extra Cash Just For Taking Surveys Online - Not Bad!

By Steve Halladay

With the internet continuing to grow and reach more and more households, it's no surprise that many people have started online businesses in order to earn extra cash. Today we wanted to look at a business opportunity that we have received several emails about - completing online surveys for cash.

Most people have done a survey at one time or another. Your bank may have called and asked you questions for a survey they were conducting. Businesses are willing to pay quite a lot of money on these surveys in order to decide what to market to consumers.

Many businesses have decided to get answers for their marketing research online. They realize how many people are looking for ways to make a little extra money by filling out their surveys.

There are several companies that will offer cash payments to people who complete surveys for them. It ends up being cheaper for them to offer money to participants than to hire a marketing company to set up telephone surveys or focus groups.

Many people are doubtful that they can actually make any money filling out surveys.

Many people have already started making a decent amount of money just for doing these surveys. Not all online surveys pay the same. There are some survey participants who say they are earning as much as $150 an hour doing this. The average pay for doing surveys is around ten to seventy five dollars for each survey you complete.

You will need to join a place to connect you and these companies in order to get surveys to do. A survey network is such a place. They will have an almost unlimited amount of surveys you can access. The free survey networks have very few surveys and rarely pay any money for the surveys you complete. They expect you to do it for an entry into a sweepstakes.

If you join a paid survey network however you will have no problem finding surveys to do, and they pay you well to do them! The only investment you will ever have to make is a one-time membership fee of around $35. This is how you get into making good money with surveys.

Look for a network that offers a moneyback guarantee. This way you can rest assured that if you aren't happy for any reason, you can get your money back. The good ones will have no problem offering you this since they know their service actually works.

You can make a good part time income filling out online marketing surveys. If you apply yourself, you can easily make over $1000 a month for only a small investment.

Happy surveying! Don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions. - 15465
