Large companies in the U.S. and around the world spend many billions of dollars on promoting and advertising their products and services. The developed world is comprised of consumer-driven economies. To develop new products, improve old ones and measure advertising effectiveness, they must know what consumers prefer, what they like and don’t like, what they look for.
To get this info they hire professional market researchers. These market researchers use various tools, including surveys in order to measure consumer opinion. Today they almost always send their surveys out over the Internet to take advantage of its speed and low cost.
Measuring consumer preferences is a very large business on the Internet. Thousands of new surveys are being make every week. There are surveys on practicaly everything! To get people to actually sit down and fill out the survey questionnaires, the market researchers have to compensate them for their time. Short surveys (5-8 minutes to finish) might pay $10. A longer one (15-20 minutes) might pay $25. that’s not a lot of money, but it adds up. Take a $10 and a $25 survey every day and you’ll receive over a thousand dollars in checks in the mail and/or deposits in your PayPal account every month!
You don’t need any special training to get paid for your opinion.
Anyone who is a consumer (if you buy food and eat, you are a consumer!) can complete paid surveys at home.
