Can you make money with surveys?

    Hi, I'm not sure if i'm at the right place, if not, sorry.

    I was surfing on the web and I found out a survey company who allowed webmaster to force (or not) visitors to complete short surveys to view content.

    The survey website is good enough, there is plenty or them and the lowest pays $0.26 (I saw some surveys at $15.60) so basically, it pays well.
    see for your self at cpalead.com/apply.php?ref=18431
    I put the system active one day and made $10 on 15 visitors!

    the problem is, most of the time, the surveys are joined with "offers" that the visitor need to complete. So the success rate is about 10%-20% (for me it's 16%).

    I was wondering if there is any other survey company who offers you to make your visitors fill them for you. I googled a bit but I only found surveys for me to fill out, not to give out to my visitors.

    It would be great, mostly for webmasters like me who offers paid content (the content can be free if a survey gives you $15)


    Thanks,

    You can earn a small amount of money with surveys, but there are MANY things you can do online to spend your time more wisely and earn a lot more money. Look into content writing with a company like AC and you'll have a much higher potential for earning vs your time spent to earn it.

    Good luck

    CPALead is the only one I know of... But I they can incentivizable, so offer some quality block content for a higher conversion... CPALead their own version of codebreaker that they let you use...

    The higher the quality the better...

    Movies
    Articles
    Mp3's

    Just for an Idea...

    There are some genuine surveys but the opportunities are very less.
    You get a survey once three months and that too you might not get qualified.

    :(

    Yes, here's the secret to making money with surveys.

    Be the one giving the survey and not the one taking it.

    On your survey, have questions regarding what each survey taker
    would be interested in buying or what their current buying habits
    are as relates to products you can create or have already
    to sell to them.

    Now after the survey results are collected,
    you have an instant database or list of people
    you can contact with the offer you know
    from statistical research, they're interested
    in already.

    If you're looking for a free way to get
    started doing this immediately,
    check out
    surveymonkey.com

    A few months ago I took a look at this niche. It pays very low, but if you have a really big site like surveymonkey, you can make a decent living. But as usual you have to put a lot of work in it. I think the easier way is, if you are the one giving the surveys, because if you have a lot of data you can sell it...

    It takes you a long time to meet the threshold and for me it's a waste of time.

    When I first looked into money making opportunities on the internet surveys were one of first I check out. I dont think you can make any money doing it and it is a complete waste of time. If you want to make money online I would try out affiliate programs. I truly believe you should have your own website and direct all of your traffic there and use that site to promote your affiliate programs, or better yet your own product with your own affiliate program.

    You can make money from surveys if you are from the US or Canada. Otherwise forget it since they don;t ahve any surveys for internationals.

    I recently bought an EBook on CPALead. You can make lots of money from it, if you know how to use it. The surveys can be very annoying so you have to reward your visitors with great content. Not just some copied information.

    Usually, video streaming, movie and mp3 sites work well.

    Making money online is not as easy as it looks specially when it comes to surveys but i do agree that if you know how to use it properly than you can but it does needs a lot of experience.

    I am a member of the following.

    Pinecone (Holy grail of survey sites - £3 per survey without fail, very rarely take new members)
    Lightspeed (Easy to reach payout threshold)
    Palm Research (Frequent surveys, low payout threshold)
    Game Surveys (Paid between £2-£5 per survey, money sent straight to paypal)
    Surveyhead (£2.80 signup bonus, surveys every time you cough basically)
    Valued Opinions (Surveys very few and far between)
    Ciao Surveys (High payout rate, low £5.00 threshold)
    Pureprofile (£25.00 threshold, few surveys)

    Like I said Pinecone are the holy grail of all the survey websites, but they very very rarely accept new members unless they are invited.

    Last year I received no less than £214 from participating in survey sites and writing paid reviews and such. Couple this with an article service and I made about £300.
