A Penny For Your Thoughts
 
Checklist Continued:

5. Once you have narrowed down your list of candidates, go to visit at least 5-6 different websites to see what each is offering and make comparisons.

Now, at this point, with all this information in hand, you will be in a position to choose the best paid online survey guide company site for you.

6. Do your part. A paid survey guide company can only point you in the right direction. You have to go there by yourself, no one can do if for you. Once you have selected your paid survey site guide company you will need to:

A. Apply to all of the recommended survey makers on the list you receive from your guide company. This is critical. If the survey makers do not have your application on file, with your contact and demographic info, then they cannot send you surveys to fill out. You will need to apply to each one individually.

B. Set up a new e-mail address especially for your paid survey business. Use that address in all your applications.

C. Check your inbox daily, answer all correspondence. When you receive invitations for surveys, accept them promptly, fill out the questionnaires fully, answer all questions to the best of your ability. Being prompt and complete will bring in more offers.

D. Be patient. The survey makers will test you to see if you are real, measure how well you respond. When they have more experience with you they will send you more and bigger surveys, focus groups, product testing, etc. You won''t get so much survey work at first, will continue to build momentum for the first 3-6 months.
