How to differentiate between legitimate paid online surveys and scams. Are you looking for legitimate paid online surveys? There are
many paid online surveys in the market. Some are scams while others are
legitimate. How do you distinguish between the two? Below are some recommended
methods that you can use:
1. Contact the company. This is the most important action.
E-mail them a question and wait for a reply. A company that offers legitimate
paid online surveys will give good support by replying within 1-2 days. Don't
stop here. You still need to analyze the way that they answer you. Make sure
that you understand what they are talking about. A legitimate company will give
a concise but detailed answer.
2. Check the content of the website. A legitimate paid online
survey company would confess to you that the surveys will not give you immediate
riches overnight. However, they can at least help you make some extra cash
outside your main job. This is in stark contrast to scammed survey company that
lie outright to you that you can quit your normal job, stay at home and make
some easy and fast cash with minimal effort when you sign up for their program.
3. Check the comprehensiveness of the website. The more
relevant information that you can find, the higher probability that the program
is legitimate. For instance, a legitimate company will describe to you in full
details the various methods of you getting paid: take online surveys,
participate in focus group, be a mystery shopper or even get paid to drive. Some
scammed survey companies will fill up their website with useless information
unrelated to paid surveys at all. Their intention is make sure that their site
does not appear empty.
4. Check that the company has a forum or a frequently updated
blog to communicate with their members. A good legitimate online survey company
will value its members and help each individual succeed by answering their
questions posted in the forum or blog.
5. Go to Google and type "xxxxx scam". The "xxxx" refers to
the name of the company. For example, if the company is known as "Red Survey",
you can type in "Red Survey scam". A legitimate survey company should have
little or irrelevant search results showing up.
From my experience, it is very tedious to check the legitimacy
each survey company individually. It is better to pay some money and become a
member of a legitimate online survey program that does all the hard work for
you.
Isn't it better to join a free online survey program? My
answer is no. Why?
Firstly, free online survey programs do not have a
comprehensive list of survey companies to join compared to paid survey programs.
Majority of free online survey programs have only about 10-50 survey companies
while paid online survey programs have hundreds of survey companies in their
directory. If you are serious about making more cash, you definitely need to
join a paid and not free survey program.
The second reason is that some free survey programs are in
fact scams. They entice you to sign up since they are free and make money by
selling your information to 3rd parties. What happen next is a huge inbox of
spam e-mails and strange phone calls from insurance and telemarketing companies
asking you to buy their products.
Thirdly, only a legitimate paid online survey program will
offer a step-by-step guide such as how to get started with online surveys and
mystery shopping? What are the common mistakes to avoid for new survey takers?
Last but not least, only legitimate paid online survey program
offer good customer support. Most people who are new to paid surveys will
encounter some problems when they first get started. It is important to have a
mentor who has been through it all to guide you one to one and answer your
e-mails when you have any query.
So the question now is: How do you find a legitimate online
paid survey program that gives you a list of legitimate paid online survey
companies? The answer is exactly the same as the above, except that we apply the
methods to a survey program and not a survey company:
1. Contact the staff of the survey program.
2. Check the content of the website.
3. Check the comprehensiveness of the website.
4. Check that the program has a forum or a blog.
