There are plenty of well thought of survey companies on the Internet; you just need to know where to look.  If it seems “too good to be true” it probably is.

Anyone that tells you that you’ll get rich making money doing online surveys is not being honest.  The truth is that you can supplement your income with paid surveys.  On average, most people make an extra $200 per month on paid surveys.  Most surveys offer compensation between $2-$10 dollars for ten minutes of your time. Of course, there is the occasional survey that pays up to $25 for a half hour of your time.

There really is no way to predict the amount of money you’ll make each month.  It depends on the time you put into it, and how many paid surveys are available to someone of your demographic that month.

Speaking of demographics, don’t be surprised if you have to answer some personal questions including age, sex, race, and geographic location.  All these factors are pieces of information that help companies market their product better.  Paid surveys are created so that companies can enhance their product, service, and marketing.

On the same note, anyone is eligible to take a paid survey.  Generally, you must be over 18 years old, but there are some surveys that ask for a teenager’s perspective.  If you decide to sign up on a paid survey website, setting up a PayPal account is a good idea.  This way, you’ll get all your money as soon as possible.
