Why Online Paid
Surveys Work?
by Rob Mellor
undreds of
web surfers these days
are subscribing to paid
survey websites. Many of
these are also making a
few handy dollars every
week or month. Paid
Survey is now a big
business and is getting
bigger every day. So why
would a company pay
these dollars to the web
surfers? Obvious they
are getting money from
somewhere. Paid Survey
website owners are
certainly not doing
charity. So then by
which way do these site
owners pay their staff,
pay the site members and
still make a handsome
profit. Lets try to
demystify the mystery,
which surrounds this
business.
Paid Survey
sites are
primarily of
two types -
1. Paid
Survey site
database 2.
The actual
Paid Survey
site
The first
type in
itself does
not conduct
surveys.
They are
merely
directories
of the Paid
Survey
sites. Most
of them
would have
links which
when
clicked,
takes user
to the
actual paid
survey pages
of a
different
site. They
make money
by two ways;
first is
they get
paid for
keeping the
reference
and links to
the actual
Paid Survey
site owners
and secondly
some of them
charge a
registration
fee to
access their
directories.
Hence if you
are paying
to register
to these
directories,
remember
that they
are not
going to pay
you
anything.
They would
simply help
you to find
and navigate
to the
actual Paid
Survey
sites.
Ideally, if
you are a
new Pair
Survey
worker then
you should
start with
searching
Paid Survey
sites on
your own
through one
of the
search
engines or
register at
a free Paid
Survey site
directory.
The actual
Paid Survey
sites host
surveys on
various
topics. They
could be
conducting
survey on
some newly
launched
product or
an
advertising
promotion.
Most of the
times the
surveys are
carried out
for some
manufacturing
or service
company.
They often
want to know
their
customer
preferences
and
behavior.
The Paid
Survey site
does the job
for them and
gets paid in
return. Some
site owners
also help
the consumer
companies in
analyzing
the data and
generate
statistical
reports.
Some of the
returns they
pass on to
the survey
takers. Some
dubious
survey site
owners pass
on their
member
contact
information
to other
companies.
These
companies
then send
mail
promoting
their
products.
This is one
of the
channel by
which spam
reaches your
mailbox.
Well known
Paid Survey
sites also
make money
by
advertising
others
products or
services.
Quiet a few
Paid Survey
sites, this
days charge
a small
registration
fee for the
new members
joining the
site to take
surveys.
This too
adds to
their
revenues.
All the
above
ensures that
both the
Paid Survey
Directory
sites and
the actual
Paid Survey
sites thrive
on the
Wonderland
of Internet
