Are you a member of a Paid Survey Panel? If so, who are they and how do you find their services and surveys?

Paid Surveys... hmmm

I’m sure we’ve all received a phone call at one point or another inviting us to participate in a survey over the phone… haven’t you? Or maybe you’ve been approached in a mall with the same inquiries? I know I have… many of our responses aren’t too friendly, but what if they asked you to complete the survey in return for some cash? Hah! I know I’d take the offer. In fact, they’ve been paying consumers for their opinions since the “big bang” of the marketing industry. Think about it… we approach them as if they were a germ; terrified we’ll catch the virus… you think they get many surveys completed? I mean, they have to get their opinions from some place.

So, companies collect marketing information from survey panels to help guide them in appropriately improving their products and/or services. It’s obvious how this benefits them, right? Well in short, by improving their products and/or services they attract more customers and keep more consumers; in turn, making them more moola. Of course, these survey panels offer rewards in exchange for consumers’ opinions.

If you’re interested in earning a little extra cash in exchange for your opinion, keep in mind that this will not get you rich. Each completed survey is rewarded with money, points redeemable for cash or prizes, or vouchers. In general, these surveys can take anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes to complete and pay between $1 and $10. However, longer surveys can pay up to $100; rare, but true. Although, there are some ways to improve your chances of increasing your ‘survey income’:

• Sign up with as many *trusted* survey panels you can handle.
• Show your reliability in responding to all survey invitations – this may increase the number of surveys you receive – immediately before the targeted number of survey participants has been reached, and the survey expires.
• Be sure to complete each survey fully or you will not be credited for it, as it will show as ‘incomplete’.

When you first register, most survey panels provide “Profile Surveys” for you to complete; these must be completed before you will receive any surveys and you do not get credited for them. The information they collect can seem fairly intrusive (i.e. what brand name of milk do you buy… why? What’s the name of your insurance company? How much do you pay for your mortgage?), but keep in mind these questions are only asked as a way to provide surveys that fit your lifestyle.

Note:
Trustworthy survey panels do not ask you for your credit card information, banking information, and/or your Social Insurance Number. They also don’t try to sell you any products or services, or request any payments, so if this is asked of you chances are they’re a fraudulent source.

So you're interested in Freelancing...

Freelancers are considered to be self-employed, although they are required to service a number of clients/companies. Their service to their client is only for a limited time, so they are not considered an official employee; therefore, they do not sign any fixed long-term contracts.

This field of work is seen as a sporadic one, as they often jump from one client to another after completing their assigned task. On average, their clients pay them between $10 and $15 per project.

There are freelancers who choose to work individually, while others work for freelance-based companies. Individual practices are required to look for clients in need of their services, while those who work for a freelance company have projects assigned to them. In most cases, those who work independently choose their own assignments and need to convince targeted clients to hire them. However, there are other experienced freelancers who are known for their work and are often personally requested.

Those who work for a freelance company often don’t have the choice of which assignments they’re to complete. When they’re given an assignment, they submit their work when they are completed and wait for it to be reviewed. After being reviewed by a company’s editor, they are paid for their work if it is approved. If it is rejected, they do not receive payment and may redo their assignment or move on to another.

There are a variety of fields available for freelancers, though it is wise to consider a field related to their work experience. Some common fields are in photography, web design, graphic design, and computer programming to name a few; although a great many target writers and editors.

If you are interested in working for a freelance company, I recommend applying for DemandStudios.com and Suite101.com.

I have to get this out there!

If you want to work from home, you must understand that it's just that - w o r k. If you're determined, motivated, and willing to put in the effort it takes to get going, I guarantee you success. However, if you're in search of a program that claims to turn you into a millionaire over night that includes little to no work, chances are you'll be in search of that program the rest of your life. Don't allow yourself to get caught up in those myths and NEVER pay someone exchange for making money online. 95% of those claims are scams... and it just doesn't make sense, does it?
Understand that this is a process and you will not be making hundreds of dollars by the end of the day; unless you are truly skilled at planning, writing, and promoting, and you have accounts with marketers as an affiliate... unlikely, but you never know. However, if you get started today and work, work, work, you just may be making hundreds in 2 weeks time... much like myself.
So when you are ready to commit yourself to this goal and set aside some time to get'r'done, get started!

How blogging makes you money

Before you get started...

... You should familiarize yourself with the components needed to profit online through blogging, so here is a brief description on how this process works:

• You create a blog, which will serve as a location for the placement of advertisements.
• Consecutively, you establish partnerships with marketers with whom you would like to promote and advertise. In turn, you are credited for those viewers who are directed to your partners’ websites through links and advertisements provided on your blog.
• After setting up these main components, you’re goal is to attract viewers to your website and sustain a steady growth in traffic.
