Receiving Survey Invitations
There is a big difference between good quality legitimate survey companies and spammy so-called survey companies. Here is a list of steps to keep in mind before signing up for a survey company.
The first step you’ll need to take is the join as many legitimate companies as you can that actually pay you for taking online surveys. A safe way to seek out these opportunities is to run a Google search of online reviews of survey sites that you are planning on signing up for.
The second thing to remember for a successful paid survey “career” is to be patient. Sometimes good things come slowly. Although you may have busily signed up with every survey company you could find, it takes a while for your profile to be matched to the surveys that best fit you. Also, be aware that while some paid survey companies offer several new surveys a week, other companies only have a new project every month or every year. But if you have registered and are checking your emails frequently, you’ll never miss a chance to take surveys for money.
This leads us to the third step to taking paid surveys with good results – keep it up! Don’t get lazy or bored and stop responding to invitations to take surveys. Often, if you refuse a survey invitation frequently enough, that company will remove you from their panel. Not responding to a survey invitation or screener is like saying you really want the job, but then not showing up on the first day. Occasional lapses are overlooked because survey companies know that not everyone can always meet the deadlines for a paid survey. But, if ignoring or bailing out on a paid survey is a common occurrence, you will notice a direct correlation between how many you skip and how many futures invites you receive. You will also notice that the more surveys you take the more you will receive.
Survey companies give you a score based on how many surveys you take based on the number you receive. The higher your score the more paid surveys they will send you.
