Make Money From
Online Surveys
Basically, this is about as simple as making money online gets. You get paid to take surveys online.
These guys are paying you to give your opinions on different products or just general things in life. These days there’ so much money in marketing, because all of the big companies need to make sure their ads are hitting the right demographic. That’s why there are companies out there who are willing to pay for our thoughts.
The Free Service
CashCrate is among the faster growing sites devoted to paying participants to take surveys and fill out offers. The web site is also one of the most reputable and easy to use sites of its kind. On top of this, CashCrate also allows you to make money on referrals who sign up through your good offices — plus, you can make money from your referrals’ referrals.)
Offers and surveys you can fill out are divided into three categories: Cash Offers, Points Offers and Research Surveys. You receive actual cash for Cash Offers and Research Surveys. I was able to add up $5 in about an hour, by taking a few surveys and filling out some offers. Points Offers provide you with CashCrate points that you can redeem for prizes and gift cards.
Every time you click on an offer or survey, a new window opens. You fill it in with honest information. Then you go back to CashCrate window (which remains open) and click on “submit”. CashCrate only credits you when it confirms with the third party that you have fulfilled the requirements of the offer. When your earnings in a month reach $20, you are issued a check. This check is mailed to you sometime around the middle of the month after your account reaches $20.
CashCrate is probably the best paid offer/paid survey site out there. It is reputable and the site is easy to use and understand. However, it can translate into a lot of time spent for a small amount of money. But it’s worth it to sign up, if only to get a little residual income from referrals.
A Few tips
- Don’t pay for a membership. You should never be paying anything . No matter how much they say you’ll make.
- Sign up to more than one site. This will keep the surveys coming thick and fast, and your cash flow.
- Always cash in as soon as you can. If an online survey site goes down (as a lot have done during the recession) you will lose your hard earned money.
I’ve heard people mention before that paid online surveys are a scam. That’s not true, but you do have to be wary of people trying to take you for a ride. Like I said before, don’t pay to become a member of a paid online surveys website. I was scammed myself by the website www.123cashsurveys.com. I paid $25 to become a member and I even started promoting their site as an affiliate. Then I just stopped being sent surveys and no one will reply to my emails.... BE CAREFUL!!
