So how do you find a good paid survey guide program? Follow this checklist, point by point: A. Good Sized. Choose a larger one that is not a start-up but has some history of success. Generally speaking, larger size indicates a more stable company. Plus, they must have been doing something right, and really providing a good service, assisting their clients to get paid for surveys, to have grown to be one of the bigger companies. B. Recent Positive Growth. Companies go though business cycles, sometimes growing, sometimes shrinking. Choose on which is in an up cycle, growing and doing well. This is also an indication that they are doing well by their clients at the present, and they are not just coasting on their last year's reputation! C. Very Good Guarantee. Look for a strong 60 or 90-day moneyback guarantee. This will not only make sure that you wll not lose money, but also it will demonstrate their willingness to stand behind the quality of their services. With a guarantee you know that they will pay attention and try hard to make sure that you get started off right, get paid for surveys and are satisfied with the money you make. The strongest guarantees are those that are backed up by some financial company such as PayPal, ClickBank or a major bank. With this kind of guarantee you know that it is real and enforceable. Of course the guide company will know that too! D. A Low Refund Rate. This item is the most important factor of all. The refund rate is that fraction of clients that ask that their money be refunded. (If one in 20 asks for his money back then that would be a 5% refund rate.) This is a direct measure of client satisfaction. Low mnumbers mean happy clients. High numbers mean more unhappy clients. Try to find one with a refund rate in the range of 3-5%. More than 10% is a red flag indicating problems, and is to be avoided.
