Before signing up with any survey company, it is important to check them out. Be sure to follow the checklist below to give you the best chance possible for taking surveys to become a lucrative and enjoyable activity.
- Before you sign up for paid survey sites, be sure to create a new email account that will only be used for your paid survey emails. By having a separate email it makes it easier to find any new invitations sent from the survey sites. This is also helpful as you can keep track of any of them that are sending just a bunch of junk mail so you know which accounts to close.
- Read the privacy policy and terms of use to make sure you are not going to have your email sold to every company they can sell it to. A good reputable company will not sell your email or send you dozens of emails every week.
- Read the frequently asked questions to be sure they offer what they claim.
- Find out how they pay. Do they pay with prizes or cash? Do they have a minimum amount you must make before payment is sent? Check to be sure the minimum is not so high that your chance of being paid without filling out too many surveys is slim.
- Check out their payment methods. Do they send you a check, pay with Pay Pal or another way. If they say they want to pay with a bank draft, you may want to hit the back browser fast and get out.
- Read the rules of the survey if offered before you start filling it out.
- Be sure to see if participation is available in your country.
- Check to make sure you are eligible. Some sites require that you be over 18 years of age. Some sites will only allow one member from each household to have an account. Just as long as you have checked out the entire site before signing up, you will be less likely to have any problems.
- Ask friends or other people that are doing surveys for the best ones they have found. You will also want to ask them which ones to avoid.
