2. Sign up with all preferred survey-makers on your guide-company's list.  When you sign up with your paid internet survey guide company they will send you a copy of their current list of preferred survey makers. It is very important that you make application to as many of these as possible.  If you cannot sign up with all, sign up with as many survey makers as you can.

This is where the money is.  These are the companies that send out survey invitations.  To be on their list of active survey takers, you must file an application with them, giving your contact and demographic info. Each company is separate and you must file an application with each one separately. 

Get a copy of Robo Form or other form-filling assistant to help you with the repetitive forms.  Remember, if they do not have your application on file they cannot send you invitations to take paid internet surveys.

3. Open a separate e-mail account for your paid internet survey work.  Check your inbox at least once a day, preferably twice. Make it a point to answer all correspondence promptly. 

4. When invitations for paid internet surveys come in, take all surveys offered at first.  Later, when more are coming in you can hi-grade and take only the high-paying ones if you choose.  But right at first it will be important to establish yourself as a "live account". 

Do not worry about answering the questions.  Remember that there are no "right answers" or "wrong answers". Just fill out the questionnaires fully, answer the questions giving your honest opinion, because your opinion is exactly what they want and all they want.

5. Be patient.  The more survey makers you apply to, the more surveys invitations you will receive.  If you respond quickly and fully, you will get more and bigger (higher-paying) surveys to take. You will be invited to participate in small focus groups. (

[A focus group is a market researchers tool. The get several different qualified consumers together, either in person or on the Internet, and discuss a product or questions about products. One answer sparks other responses and debate and the market researchers take notes. It's one way they find out WHY the questions get answered a certain way.]

Your income will build over the first 3-6 months after applying to each survey maker. Should level out after six months to a year.
