The following step by step guide is designed to help you get started with online free paid surveys.
To get to Paid surveys you need to access the Internet. To access the internet, you need a computer, either a personal computer (PC) or Macintosh (Mac) with an internet connection, or you can get an inexpensive laptop with a low range system but remember the newer system you buy, the happier you will be with your computer. Minimum recommended specifications: (PC)
Minimum recommended specifications: (Mac)
Now that you have a computer and internet access, I recommend that a user use the most current version of any browser below with all of its applicable patches installed. This will ensure that you can do all kinds of surveys and it will help to protect your computer from viruses and other security vulnerabilities. However, I understand that this is not always possible. The list below contains the minimum requirements to have installed on your computer to be able to do as many surveys as possible.
Windows 98/ME/2000

Internet Explorer 5.5

Netscape Navigator 7.1

1. Create a new email.
Nearly all of the online survey companies will send you invitations to participate in surveys via an email address. Some of the companies will also send you surveys by conventional mail or perform telephone surveys, but this is much less common. And nearly all of the market research companies who conduct paid surveys require an email address from you (which only makes good common sense).
The more survey companies you join the more emails you'll receive. I personally use Yahoo.com, but you can use Hotmail.com, Google.com, or any email. Remember that you have to check your spam email box since you don’t want a loose gift card codes or any surveys that might be recognized by your email provider as Spam or Junk.
Remember to treat this as a business (part of which is keeping things organized). You don't want to miss any of the survey invitations that will come to you; if a survey company consistently sends you invitations to paid surveys and you ignore them, they will eventually stop sending surveys, or at least send less of them.
Companies need your opinions to improve their products and services, and in return you get paid for doing surveys in your spare time. It is as simple as that. So now that you have a computer an internet connection, and an e-mail; what you need is to spend some time and effort signing in and completing the profiles on each survey company’s web site in order to start obtaining opportunities on a daily basis. So, do you need to be on the computer all day checking email? The answer is “NO” I work 2 hours in the morning, 2 in the afternoon and 2 at night.
Remember that market research companies sometimes need instant results so they send out far more surveys than they need in order to get enough opinions for their study. So if you don’t complete the surveys as soon as you get them or even wait until the next day the Panel might already have been filled which means that they have enough information, and after some “no show” they assume that your not interested and remove your name from their list.

3. Sign up with a large number of survey companies.
Read our Tip's page there you will find tips and tools to make money online doing free surveys; after that sign up with the free paid surveys on the DATABASE. There you will find free paid surveys that don't know each other, so you will only receive good paid surveys from $5 to $120 everyday and also you will get the opportunity to participate on focus groups and free trials. I have tried every paid survey company on the Directory so you don’t have to try new companies and avoid getting scam by losers. Go to to our directory after you sign up with the “Top US paid surveys” located at the home page but make sure you join each of the Top 10 companies to increase your earnings.
Try to avoid burnout. I recommend setting the goal of at least registering with all the companies listed on the “Top 10 paid surveys online” from the “Top Us paid surveys” on the home page, on the first day and. And so on, until you've registered with all the paid survey companies in the home page sign with the rest on the directory.
When signing up with the survey companies use the same username and password for every one. This will help you to not have to spend time remembering usernames and passwords but completing as many surveys as you can.
4. Complete all profiles.
Take time to complete all the available profiles and sample questionnaires for each paid survey company. I know is hard but very important. By providing your full profile, you are providing each paid survey company with a picture of your likes and dislikes, your interests and lifestyle.
Complete all profiles with every survey company; they need this data in order to invite you to specific surveys. For example, if they don’t know you have a car, how will they know to send you surveys about cars.
5. Bookmark Paid Survey Sites.
Most survey invitation contain a link that will automatically log you into your account when you start a new paid survey, however, you will need to manually log into your account to check your balance and redeem rewards. If you join all the available survey companies on the Directory then you'll have a lot of websites to remember. Therefore, to save yourself time and effort, bookmark, or add to your favorites, the member’s login page for each company that you join. You'll be glad about this later on.
6. Be honest.
If you answer paid surveys without reading the question their software will take you out of the surveys. If you keep doing such a thing they will erase you from their system or only send you surveys that pay a few dollars.
7. Be patient.
If you follow the first three points above, they will come. It will take a couple weeks until you start receiving checks, prizes and gift cards. Why do survey companies take so long to pay you? Well, because they have to wait until the study is closed, analyze their data and don't forget that they also have to send their findings to the company that hire d them to conduct the study in order for them to get paid. Once they get paid they in turn will send you compensation.
8. It is important to read each question and understand what it is asking.
When taking any paid survey it is very important to really READ the questions being asked and not just skim the text. Often in your hastiness to answer a question an important instruction within the question is missed, and you may get kicked out of the survey for the wrong answer! An extra second or two for each question can mean the difference between terminating and completing.
9. Be truthful when answering survey questions.
Some survey takers have a habit of just glossing over surveys to quickly get done. It is important to remember that the responses in surveys are used by major companies to analyze and report information used to change the products and services we use everyday. If you want to make a real difference it's important to express yourself truthfully.
10. Quick response to an e-mail invitation.
When you receive an e-mail invitation in your inbox this means the survey is available for people matching your criteria. However, the longer you wait to respond to this survey invitation the more likely it is that your criteria (quota) will be full.
Ok, you're officially ready – Go to the “Top US paid surveys” or to the free paid surveys DATABASE and start registering!
