Working at Home using Online Paid Surveys By: Alex Timaios An interesting technique to earn some cash working at home is to participate on Paid Online Surveys. The system is quite easy and ideal for single moms or dads, or everybody who have a good use of some extra cash in month. ------------------------------ Needed Experience ------------------------------ None, you just need to be a normal consumer who watch's TV, goes shopping, makes vacations, drives a car , uses consumer electronics and so on. It is also useful to know the Cinema program and read newspapers. ---------------------------- Needed Equipment ----------------------------  You will need a normal PC with Internet Connection. You should be familiar with basic internet applications. The Earning Potential depends on the Survey, you can earn from $5 till $250 per Survey. If you specialized yourself in niche areas (sophisticated consumer electronics, medicine) you can get top payments for 10-15 minutes survey. ------------------------------- Needed Initial Investment ------------------------------- Usually you need an initial investment of about $35 as one time payment. Most of the Paid Survey Research Companies offer also free bonuses (i.e. 3 days free vacation), so the initial investment is minimal. After 2-5 surveys the initial fee is earned quickly. ----------------------------- Where to start? ----------------------------- There are several Survey Companies in the market. The procedure is almost the same, so the differences are the entry fee, free bonuses and reputation of the company. ------------------------------------ Paid Surveys Providers ------------------------------------ Survey Platinum Earning Potential from $5 to $250 per survey/focus group Survey Scout Earning potential from $5 to $75, focus groups earn up to $150 per hour. Survey Junction Can earn from $25-$99 for online surveys, up to $200 for participation in Focus Groups. Get Cash for Surveys pays $5-$150 for Surveys , up to $250 per hour for Focus Groups PaidSurveysOnline offers $5 to $75 per survey, up to $150 per hour for participation in Focus Groups. ------------------------------------- What are Focus Groups? ------------------------------------- Focus Groups are individuals with specific habits, gender, familiar situation, etc. I.e. "single male smokers without children living in a big city". When a survey company is interested on a special Focus Group, the participants are chosen according to the needed criteria. --------------------------------------------------- Tips for Success with Online Surveys --------------------------------------------------- 1) Plan your time in advance. Reserve a regular number of hours per week (i.e. when your children are in the school) to work with surveys. 2) Keep your working place well organized, creating an inspiring working atmosphere. 3) Prepare drinks and some snack for at least an one-hour session. Do not let other people interrupt or disturb you while answering a survey. Redirect your phone to the answering machine. 4) Do not try to participate on topics you are not familiar with, also in the case the earning may be higher. The Surveys are quite smart and will identify your lack of experience soon and interrupt the survey. 5) Give true, honest data according your experience as a consumer. You get paid for that! 6) Identify your "strong areas" for giving information (i.e. Cinema, Consumer Electronics). Try to participate in surveys covering your "strengths". You can get profitable participation in "Focus Groups" ------------------ Summary: ------------------ Taking online surveys is an excellent opportunity to start earning additional money online. It can be time consuming, but is good paid. For work-at-home earners without willing to enter deeply in Affiliate Programs or Internet Marketing, is a good alternative.   About the Author Alex Timaios is an international Internet Marketer specialized in Home-Business.
