Wouldn’t it be great if you could influence the development of your favorite brands? How about doing that AND getting paid for it? Sound too good to be true? No, it isn’t! It’s a completely normal and solid method to earn some extra cash. Of course, with such great conditions, you shouldn’t expect to become a millionaire from this, but at least you’ll earn some extra money to get by more easily – and that’s still something great! Trying to get started can be difficult with this though, as there are so many websites to go to, not to mention the different conditions at all of them.

Should I pay a website to register?

It depends. Normally – yes, you should, if you have the money. The paid websites are usually much better than the free ones, as they give you access to more and better-paying surveys. However, be aware of scams. If the website seems suspicious, look it up in other websites – search engines, forums, etc. If it’s mentioned in a negative tone anywhere, you should probably stay away from it. Be careful with your private information as well – it’s just as valuable as your money, and people may try to steal it from you.

How long does it take?

A single survey will normally take you 20-30 minutes to complete. That time will vary between websites. Some offer very long surveys that take a few days to get through, but those of course pay a lot more than the usual ones. A survey will normally have an estimated completion time written on it, so you should check that out first. The great thing about doing surveys from home though, is that you set the time and everything – you decide when you want to work, you control your schedule. The best strategy is to dedicate 1-3 hours each day to taking surveys, and not go above that.

Progressing

After you’ve been doing this for a while, you’ll start to build up a reputation with some websites. This will lead to a few things – one, you’ll start getting paid better for surveys in general, and two, you’ll start getting a lot more survey offers. However, you’ll eventually reach a point where you simply can’t take all of the offers. When you get to that, just use some common sense and filter those that you don’t feel like doing – prepare a few that will fill up your set time nicely, and only do them.
