Getting paid to take surveys is one of the most popular ways of earning money online. However, there are way too many choices out there and people get lost. Also, with some survey companies, it takes forever to reach the minimum payout. The amount paid per survey is also too low.
You must have been advised to join as many survey panels as you can to earn from taking surveys. While it’s true that joining a great many online panels gets you more invitation to surveys, it can also be very difficult to try and remember all of them. I would advise that before you start signing up, consider the following facts and filter the ones that don’t pay well, or send too few surveys etc. Read the following tips before you start joining the online survey panels

1. Get the Facts
Always read the basic facts about the Online survey panel that you’re about to join. These include minimum payout, amount paid per survey, frequency of surveys, payment mode (Paypal, check) etc.

2. Join Survey panels who Pay Cash / Vouchers
Most survey panels offer cash in return for your participation in surveys. However, some of them also offer entries in prize draws and points(redeemable for prizes). It is recommended that you register with online panels who pay cash.

3.Get A New Email Address
It is also advisable that before joining the survey panels, you get a new email address, dedicated solely to this purpose. Consider it as your work email, and sign up to the survey panels using this email address. Check your email often and accept the invitations to all surveys.

4.Maintain a list
Make a list of all the survey panels you join. Use Excel worksheet and enter the online survey panels, your balance, minimum payout etc. Update it every time you participate in a survey! This will also help you evaluate which survey panel is the most active and which ones are paying well.

5.Fill the Profile Details
Make sure you fill your details after signing up. This helps them determine if you’re the targeted audience for a particular survey or not. So if you’re responsible for grocery shopping of your house, you’ll be sent surveys related to food and drink products and if you have kids at home, you might be sent surveys for parents too.

6.The Screening Process
The screening process determines whether you are eligible to take the survey or not. Most of the time the screening process include questions about your shopping habits or if you’ve tried a particular brand. They also ask you if you or anyone else related to you works in market research firm etc. If you answer yes, you will be screened out. It is very frustrating to be screened out when you're actually eligible to take the survey. Also, keep the speakers of the computer on as some of the surveys require you to be able to hear the sound (surveys related to movies).

Paid Surveys is indeed a very popular way of earning money online. And you can earn good money every month by participating in surveys. They are fun too!
