Over the next few days I am going to give the reasons for this and hopefully help you avoid doing the same thing. There is no real importance in the order of these mistakes as each one alone could stop you receiving any surveys for money. Here then is reason number 1.
- Using The Wrong Resources
Sadly no matter how dedicated you are towards making a success of taking surveys for money it just won't mean a thing if the list of companies you are provided with isn't up to scratch.
Some paid directories and all the free directories simply provide a list of companies that are willing to pay them a commission for the site getting them a new member.
Now one or two of these sites may still provide online paid surveys but the majority are only after your email address so that they can spam you into buying products from them.
The odd surveys you will receive from these companies won't be for money but simply for points, which will be used to get a discount on products from the companies own catalogue.
Don't let this put you off however as with the resources provided by a good directory ( such as Express Paid Surveys ) there is money to be made from online paid surveys so it is worth taking a little time to research a few companies that claim to offer surveys for money before actually joining.
Next time I will post about reason 2 why people fail to take surveys for money successfully, which will be about the misinformation given about online paid surveys. There is a comparison table of surveys directories on this blog if you wish to use it for research here.
