ONLINE SURVEY

ONLINE SURVEY

What are Online Paid Surveys?
At some point in time anyone who surfs the Internet gets asked to fill out a survey. Big ones, little ones, all types
are out there. Whilst it originally feels good to be asked your opinion after you've had dealings with a company,
after a while we get hardened to the idea and most people just generally ignore them.
But surveys are important, especially to the instigator as a valuable source of information about what people are
thinking. They provide insights and details of customer preferences, wants and needs.
In addition, many companies don't have a close and immediate contact with their customers. Consider for
example, some of the top household names in the grocery sector. Their immediate customers are distributors and
major supermarket chains but their real customers, the ultimate consumer will make decisions maybe hundreds
or thousands of miles away. The manufacturer needs to know why this customer chooses one product over
another. But how do they find out?
The answer is surveys. The manufacturer hires a Marketing Research firm to find out what potential buyers
think. The Marketing Research firm carefully crafts a series of questions designed to get answers to the primary
questions that management has. Then they contract a Survey making company to physically get answers to their
questionnaire. They specify the demographics; geographic areas, qualifying questions, "How many times do you
buy groceries a month?" "How much do you spend on groceries each month?" and so forth.
Traditionally that meant sending interviewers onto the streets or onto the phones to ask people for their opinions.
Unfortunately, it is natural for people to be overwhelmed when they have to speak to someone on the phone or
face to face and so traditional surveys can feel like an interview and the atmosphere can be quite threatening.
Online paid surveys are nothing like this, as the survey takers remain anonymous and can take them at their own
pace as and when it fits their schedule, rather than the exact moment they're rushing out the door (subject to
quota not being filled). Participants can be totally honest and truthful, as unlike face to face or telephone surveys,
they don't have to worry about saying something stupid.
This means the product manufacturers and brand name companies find out what consumers really think rather
than what they think the company want to hear.
The survey maker runs a computer sort on its database of survey takers to see how many qualify under the
demographic specifications. Then they select a representative sample of these, adjust the sample size to fit within
their budget for this survey. When they are ready they post the survey on a private page of their website and
send out email notifications to the chosen survey participants.
Now how do they know that these people are qualified and that they will take the time to go to the website and fill
out the survey forms?
They know that these survey takers are qualified because they had all filled out applications earlier giving their
complete demographic information. And, they know that most will come in and fill out the survey forms because
they have already agreed to pay them for their participation!
And the survey maker's contract with the Marketing Research firm included the funds to pay the survey takers.
And so you see, it makes perfect sense for the manufacturer (and thousands of companies in similar situations of
needing information and feedback from their distant customer base) to pay for this survey information. This
means that there are many thousands of surveys being made, and the survey makers must have a large, stable
list of survey takers available to send them out to.

5. Work From Anywhere. You can work from your home computer. You can do it in your pajamas. You can take
your portable computer with you and do it anywhere, at the beach, at a restaurant, a bar, anywhere.
6. Freebies. Some surveys involve the characteristics and details of new or existing products. So that you can
intelligently comment on the products the companies will send them to you for free. You get free products, test
them, use them, then give your opinion, tell them what you thought about the product. Tell them what you liked
least, liked most and what changes or improvements you would suggest. Then you get paid for the survey, and...
you keep the product!
Tips for maximizing your income with paid surveys
Most of the survey sites ask you to fill out one or more profile surveys. Even though they are not paid surveys,
fill them all in order to increase the chances of getting more paid surveys later.
Join as many survey sites as possible. It is a time-consuming process but once you have joined around 60 to 70
companies, you can probably get over ten surveys every day.
At first, most of the survey companies will only offer some $1 or 2$ surveys or only reward with sweepstakes
entries. These can still be worth completing as once you build up a good reputation, you will start receiving more
survey offers, and then you can pick and choose the highest paid survey. Set up a new email address to collect
the surveys. Check your e-mail inbox daily. Learning how to organize is the key to succeed in online business.
Respond to all correspondence. Take all surveys for which you qualify.
But... for most people it would be better to look at your income from paid online surveys as supplemental income,
another income stream out of several, than to try to support yourself completely from paid surveys alone.
Realistically your potential income from paid online surveys will vary with your demographics. If, for instance,
you are a mid 30's mother or career woman living in a large metropolitan on an above average income, you could
be offered a large number of paid online surveys. However, if your income is low and you live in a small village or
rural area, you may receive considerably fewer offers. Example of such site is http://www.AWSurveys.com/HomeMain.cfm?RefID=emmajestung

EARN MONEY SELLING PHOTOS ON THE INTERNET
Got a digital camera? Now you can earn money selling your pictures on the Internet! If you have a good eye and if you are a creative person, you can generate very nice monthly income by selling your pictures on stock photography web sites. Personally, I am receiving checks and PayPal transfers for few hundreds bucks every month and you can do it too.

I truly love online stock photography Internet phenomenon, since it is the first in the world and probably the only business model which allows amateur photographers like you and me to earn some money from they lovely hobby. In fact, if you are a talented photographer and you shoot hundreds of pictures every month you can earn a very significant part of your living by shooting high quality creative pictures for stock photography agencies.

There are many stock photography sites that will be happy to sell your photos and share with you the received revenues. iStockPhoto, ShutterStock, Fotolia, BigStockPhoto and CanStockPhoto are just few stock sites to name. All stock sites allow you to register for free as their submitting photographer and start uploading your work to their banks. However, be aware that many sites will ask you to provide detailed personal information such as a scan of you picture ID or passport. Also, at many sites you will be requested to sign and fax back a signed copy of the site's 'submitter agreement'. These requirements are part of continuous effort of limiting the image fraud on the Internet and protecting both image buyers and image copyright owners from the fraudulent behavior.

BASIC STOCK PHOTOGRAPHY RULES
the basic stock photography rules are quite simple:
1) Do not submit images that include any copyrighted material Avoid photographing company logos, trademarks, third-party images and brands.

2) Use appropriate lighting and composition This is common sense, but I will mention it anyway. Your images compete for the buyers attention with images created by highly qualified talented professional photographers which shoot for years, own nice equipment and definitely know how and when use it. You must think creatively in terms of lighting and composition, otherwise your images will never sell.
For instance, if until now you relied on built-in camera flash as a proper source for indoor lighting it is a time to change your mind. Go to the stock sites and take a look how other photographers use light in their work. You will probably need to switch to some more professional sources of lighting for your indoor photography. Again - be creative and you will win the war for the buyers' attention and buyers dollars!

3) Images format must be JPG at most sites, typically starting from 2 megapixels and with max file size of 8-10 MB

4) Prices and payments - what income you can expect Most stock photography agencies pay photographers for each download (a purchase) made by the image buyer. This is a micro-payment model and the prices you get paid start as low as $0.20. However, if you were successful to create a real bestselling image you can easy hit few hundreds downloads a month, so your earning arithmetic can be $0.2 x 300 = $60 monthly for a single image. Shooting 10 bestsellers monthly could generate you $600 monthly income - definitely not a bad return on a few hours investment.

The rule of the thumb says the more images you have online in each and every stock photography agency the more images you sell and the higher monthly income you get. Typically, stock agencies send you a check or a PayPal transfer at the end of every month if you have earned more than a certain amount of cash, typically $100, during that month. Your earnings will be collected by the site until they reach this minimal payment.

Well, that's all folks! Just take your digital camera now and go for a shooting session. Oh, - wait!, wait a second. First, open your web browser and look what other people submit to stock photography agencies. Note the most popular images and agencies suggestions for stock content categories and keep these subjects in mind when you shoot. My personal advice? Avoid flowers close-ups, typical landscapes, city scenes and buildings. Try to materialize business terms and shoot pictures which represent them,e.g. 'success', 'failure', 'partnership'. Be always creative in your work and your pictures will become online bestsellers. Good luck and happy shooting!

GET PAID TO WRITE ARTICLES
So, you want to get paid to write articles online. Article writing is one of the easiest ways to make money writing via the internet. Many freelance writers get their start in writing articles, and a lot of them find that they enjoy writing articles so much that they make article writing their freelance writing niche.

There are many ways to get paid to write articles online. You can write content articles for websites, or articles for online newsletters or ezines. You can even write articles for blogs. Although online article writers often don't earn as much money as writers whose articles appear in print publications, writing for the internet is much simpler and faster, and it's much easier to find work.

If you can write at a minimum high school level, are fluent in English, and have a good grasp for doing online research, you'll have no trouble writing articles online. The hardest part is finding those first paying jobs. There are hundreds, maybe thousands, of new article writing jobs posted online every day. However, most people hiring writers want writers with at least some experience or published clips. Don't panic. All freelance writers just starting out face this block. Luckily, you don't need a vast amount of experience to get paid to write articles online.

What you will probably want to do is write a few articles on subject matter that appeals to you and that will relate to the types of article writing jobs you aspire to. Once you have a few articles written, you can provide these as writing samples to potential employers/clients. If you're serious about wanting to find article writing work, you might even want to start your own website or blog to show off your writing samples. This way, you can point editors and clients to the URL of your site or blog, rather than having to attach multiple samples.

There are a few low paying markets which you may find useful if you are just starting out and want to get paid to write articles online. Associated Content and Helium both pay very small amounts for articles. Writing for these sites won't necessarily skyrocket your credibility as a writer, but if your goal is to make money writing articles online, rather than to build a big name for yourself, these sites might be worth your while.

Otherwise, free job boards, especially those focused on freelance writers, can be very valuable in helping you find article writing jobs you can do online from home.
