Questions and Answers



1- What are surveys and why can I get paid to take them?
Surveys are questionnaires that give companies the data they need about the thinking and spending habits of the consumers that use their products and services. It is much cheaper for a company to find out what consumers want through surveys, than to waste money on advertising and stockpile products that nobody is going to buy. Every single product you see in a store, is carefully tested before it is even offered to the general public. If it were not for consumers like you, who are willing to share their opinions, than companies would have a hard time knowing what products and services they should offer.

Focus groups and panels can be conducted in person at a variety of locations, on the telephone, and through chat rooms online. Focus groups generally last for 1-2 hours and pay as much as $150 an hour.

7- Do I have to pay tax on the money I make?
You would be considered an " independent contractor "if you are a citizen of the United States. A company that pays you over $600 a year is required to send a U.S. tax Form 1099. If you are not a U.S. citizen or resident you would have to check out what the tax laws are in your respective country of residency.

9- Do I have to be a certain age or fit a certain profile to take surveys?
Some of the companies require you to be 18 years old, but this is no problem as long as your parents sign you up. Many consumers are under 18 years old and companies need your opinions as much as adults. There is no certain profile required to take surveys. However, in some cases a certain " profile " may be required for a particular survey. For example, a certain survey may be open to, single males ages 18-35, who drink beer. While another may open to married females. Many surveys are available to everybody, no matter what their " profile " is.
