A Paid Survey Free for the Taking Can Put Real Money Into Your Pocket!

How's that? Making something out of nothing?

It's not often that you find things that you can get for free that will make money for you. Paid surveys free of charge to the survey taker are just that; things you get for free that can put real money into your pockets!

Of course, you will need to get set up to process those paid surveys, free or not, in order to get paid. For example, you will need access to the Internet. Maybe you already have Internet access, but while it is not expensive it's not free either.

And you will need to do some work to apply to the survey makers to let them know you are available to participate in paid surveys free of charge to you.

Also, while you could get a "free" list of survey makers from a recruiter for second-class and bad survey makers, it wouldn't be a good idea. You might just be replacing someone who already quit those survey makers because he or she was tired of filling out surveys and NOT getting paid for it!

It is best to invest a little in a membership with a paid surveys membership site, to get a copy of their list. Membership sites are paid by their members, care whether or not you make money, and their list will be more aimed at making money for you than that which you would get from some recruiter somewhere.

Still, when you consider that the average membership fee is $30-$50, and the average survey taker reports an income of $200 to $600 a month from paid surveys free of charge to them, it's not a bad deal at all.

In fact, when you complete just two $25 surveys you will have gotten back all your initial investment! And maybe you will be one of those who makes over $1,000 a month with surveys!

Just be sure to only consider paid survey membership sites that have a strong money-back guarantee. If they don't believe in the value of the services they provide, then why should you?

Then, within that group that have strong guarantees, look for one with a low (3-6%) refund rate. The refund rate tells you how satisfied their current members are with them. Low refund rates mean happy members, making money and getting full value for their small membership fees.

High refund rates mean unhappy clients, not making any money from paid surveys free to take. So unhappy that they are demanding their money back!  Avoid any paid survey membership sites with refund rates that are as high as 9-10% or more.  Also, avoid any with refund rates that are unknown. "Unknown" usually means "high"!

When you choose your site and get your copy of their list, hurry and get your application on file with all the preferred survey makers on that list. The more you sign up with, the more surveys you will be invited to take.
