Surveys are another very popular method of earning extra money online. All genuine survey companies do not charge for being invited for surveys, as most of them have a referral program, where you are paid for referring your friends and acquaintances for taking surveys. The so called “paid surveys” , which charge a joining fee, are usually compilations of the free surveys available.
Unlike freelance writing , earnings from surveys will depends on your profile, background and geographic locations. Since surveys are part of the market research usually conducted by consumer goods companies, people who sign up at a survey company will receive different types of surveys and the frequency will also differ. A person whose family income is higher will receive a larger number of surveys, since they are more likely to purchase a larger quantity of expensive consumer products.
Most surveys are open only to residents of USA, Canada and Europe, though for some software related products with global buyers, international users may also participate. Local survey companies usually pay by check or PayPal. Processing of survey payments usually takes some time, so it is advisable to maintain proper records.
