Why should the companies pay users for participating in surveys?
I always get this question in my mind whenever someone says that answering surveys is the easiest option to make money online. Recently, I found the answer to the question 🙂
Every business/company is spending a lot of money to learn about the market trends, competitors, and other factors before launching a new product/service. And, the role of consumers is crucial for the growth of any business.
That’s why the companies are getting the feedback directly from the consumers and pay a small amount of reward for spending their valuable time.
Best Paid Survey Sites for 2020: How big is the list?
A lot of online survey sites are available on the web which helps the users to share their opinion about a product/service and get paid for the same. Even though, new survey sites are launched regularly many of them don’t survive for a long time. Some of them may be fake or scam sites which are only used to steal personal information from people.
What is a Paid Survey Site?
How will a new company/business get feedback directly from customers? Because it will not have any kind of customer database or subscriber list as it is new. This is where the Paid Survey Sites comes into the picture. They just take the role of a middleman to connect the customers with the clients.
Even though this kind of online surveys will help the stay at home moms to make some money, you should not join any paid survey site just like that.
Here is the list of questions you need to ask before joining any paid survey site
- Is the paid survey site available in your country?
- What are the available payment options?
- How often will you receive survey invitations?
- What is the frequency of the payout? (Weekly/Monthly/Pay per survey)
- What is the minimum balance you need to request payment?
- Does it require any registration fees to join the panel

7 simple tips to find the best paid survey sites that work for you
Before joining any paid survey site, first, you should find out whether it is a legitimate site or not. Then, you must decide whether it is really worth to join the survey site based on a number of factors like reviews by fellow members, pay per survey, availability of surveys etc.
Here are some tips to find the best paid survey sites which will help you to make money online.
- Location: Almost 75% of the paid survey sites works well only if you are located in countries like US/UK/Canada. Otherwise, you will receive only very few invitations for answering free paid surveys. Find out the availability of surveys based on your locations.
- Scam: Try to get payment proofs for that survey site by visiting related blogs, forums, and other places.
- Minimum payout: If the minimum payment limit is $50 or more, then you need to think twice before joining that survey site. Because it may take months for you to reach the minimum payout.
- Multiple Payment options: Most of the paid survey sites will offer gift cards like Amazon, Walmart, Bestbuy, Target and more. Some of them will pay you through PayPal as well. Take a look at the list of payment options before joining the site. If the site has only limited payment options which are not of any use to you, then it is better not to join that survey site.
- Pre-Qualifier: Some paid survey sites will send a lot of questions related to pre-qualification every time they send the survey invitation. If you are able to complete only 1 out of 10 survey invitations, then just ignore that site.
- Duration: Let’s assume that you have spent 30 minutes to complete the survey. But, you received only $1. Is it worth to join this kind of paid survey sites?
- Availability of Surveys: Let’s say that surveys are the only option to make money from that site and you are getting only 1 or 2 survey invites every month. Then, definitely, that survey site is not at all worth for your time and efforts. Instead, you can spend that time to do small jobs or gigs to easily get few bucks.
Conclusion
Getting invitations to take free paid surveys is a good option to earn some extra cash. Instead of relying on a single site to receive survey invites, try to join as many sites in the above list as possible. If you wish to make more money quickly, then sites like Swagbucks, Clixsense, GrabPoints are good because they provide the users with a lot of options like answering surveys, completing offers, watching videos etc to earn money.
