How paid online surveys work and why they’re attractive
Ms Filipich says survey companies are engaged by businesses wanting to improve their marketing.
Users are required to enter their demographic data. She says they will then be offered surveys that match their demographics in return for payment, usually cash via PayPal or bank transfer, or vouchers.
“Surveys can be attractive due to not requiring any special skills. You just have to answer the questions honestly and consistently.
“If you’re short on cash and not able to get enough paid work, it could be an interesting option.”
How much can you make and what effort is required?
Ms Torzsa says the most she has made in a single month completing online surveys is about $235.
That was from surveys as well as referrals, she explains.
“If you have any sort of online following, you can share your unique link to your followers and earn when they join the site [to complete surveys].”
