Best Practices in Answering Online Surveys
Below is a list of best practices for taking online surveys. This list will help you stay organized while maximizing your earning potential for taking online surveys.
Don’t Put All Your Eggs In One Basket: That’s right! With so many survey sites around, you should branch out and register with as many legitimate sites as possible. This increases your odds of receiving invitations and passing screeners. The more actual surveys you get to take the more rewards you’ll earn.
Honesty is the Best Policy: As I’ve mentioned before, keeping your answers on paid surveys completely truthful helps everyone in the end. Client companies get the valid consumer data they are paying for and you earn a reputation as a dependable good guy who deserves many more survey invitations.
The Early Bird Catches the Worm: Sounds so cliché, but it is true. Many opportunities to take paid surveys need to be acted on quickly. This requires checking your email several times a day and responding to invitations in a timely manner. Most paid survey “tickets” fill up fast and then the proverbial train pulls out of the station full steam ahead. So when a survey is sent to you take it as soon as possible before the survey expires or is closed due to receiving the set number of responses the company was looking for.
Persistence Pays Off: Don’t get discouraged if you do not qualify for certain surveys or have lulls in the number of invitations in your inbox. Just keep completing screeners, checking websites, and reading forums for the latest opportunities to take paid surveys. Over time, after you have built up a reputation with a number of survey providers, you will have a steady stream of projects to work on and some great pocket money to spend as you please!
