One of the most common questions I get asked by people is "How can I get more surveys?"

Well, there are some things that are out of your control (your demographics) but there are two key things that are totally within your control. First, get signed up with as many LEGIT, FREE, PAYING sites as you can. Period. The more good sites you are with, the more surveys you are likely to get.

Second, fill out your profiles completely. Been awhile since you have heard from a site? Go check in and be sure your profile is up to date. Yes, it takes a few extra minutes, but it definitely pays off!

Happygal, how many surveys do you complete monthly?

Yeah, that's right. Although surveys aren't really for me since I'm in the Philippines, filling up your profile is important, mainly the "Interests" fields. Surveys goto you depending on the content of your profile.

In a more general scope, it is always good to fill up your profile may it be social networking or forums to have a better exposure in getting your marketing out there and meeting new people.

Hmmm, I probably get 10-20 invites a day and, of those, would say I qualify for anywhere from 3-10.

I get similar number of invites a day, but qualify for about 2-5.

I probably should update my profiles more often to get more targeted surveys.

How funny, yes, I am a pretty happy gal

And I just, like so many, got sucked into bad sites and a bad approach to surveys when I first started, so I decided to do something about it and am always happy to share what I have learned.

What's the average take per survey? Do you use Roboform to help you
streamline the form process?

When I first signed up, yes using Roboform was a huge help in filling out a lot of the demographics.

Surveys pay, usually, anywhere from $1 (I skip most of those) all that way up to $150.

I would say they usually average $3-10 per survey depending on the site.

Has anyone tried this: http://www.surveyscompany.com/

The profit chart says you can make $2400 a month by completing four surveys a day. I think he's overlooking the average profit per survey and the average amount of surveys available/day to inflate these #s. Otherwise that would be $80/day for an hour of work, would it not?

Proprietor Nick Marks is a mega-hyper (he doesn't actually do this for a living like he describes in the sales letter) but he was also the internet marketer of the year last year and knows virtually everything about making money online.

Sorry Happygal, I just realized that I should probably post that as a separate thread. Just wanted to know what you thought of it, being a survey wizard and all.

Oh OK -- 3-10 at $3-$10. So you average approx. $60/day just filling out a few in your spare time than?

Being that you are an Indian Resident you should try to sign up to surveys sites that accept international members.

Hmmmm.... I have been posting in the same forums as you for almost 3 years (more when I first started in 2005, not as much these days) and have pretty much agreed with everything you have ever said. You are very informative and knowledgeable about paid surveys. I think that besides myself, you are one of the only people I have seen that runs a survey website and actually researched and joined the panels that their sites endorse.

On this topic however, I have an opposing view.

From my experience I have found that most surveys have you fill out a "qualifying survey" before you are approved. You are asked the qualifying questions and approved depending on your answers. Depending on what questions are asked, you can sometimes tell what the survey may be about and answer those questions accordingly.

(I understand that this may be a form of cheating. But I can't lie, I have said I was young, old, male, female, married, single, take the bus, drive an suv, etc... to qualify for more surveys)

If I had filled out my profile with all of my information I would not even have been sent any of those surveys because I would not fit the demographic.

So, in my opinion, I think it is better to leave your profile open. Then you can fill out your demographics with each survey and qualify for more.

I think they may send you more surveys because you have been with these companies for a long time and shown that you are consistent and helpful towards helping them conduct their research. Not just because of your profile. Or maybe it's a combination of both.

Well I guess that is where we differ, I have just personally had the approach to surveys where I choose to be honest at all times, even if it means that I will disqualify because of it. And that happens for sure. I had a survey this morning for $75 on healthcare. But it asked if I had a family member who worked in healthcare, which I do and said so, and, indeed it did disqualify me.

And sashawk, the site you are referring to, I would say, is a waste of time and money. $67 fee? First indicator you should skip it. Second indicator is his claims of $2400 a month. If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is. I am considered as someone who does pretty darn good in the world of surveys and in a good month I makde $600 plus. $2400 isn't very realistic.
