Below are some of the most common questions and answers regarding paid shopping and paid surveys.

1.) Can I really get paid just for taking surveys online?
Yes, this is a very real way to make money online in the comfort of your own home. There are over 7 million companies that actively survey consumers to find the best way to promote their products. These companies are willing to pay you to give your opinion. Your opinion allows them to get in touch with consumers and their views, habits, and opinions. These companies are willing to pay you for your time!

2.) What is the difference between a survey and a focus group? Can I participate in both?
A survey is normally a page or two of questions. Surveys can range from 10 to 30 questions. They are normally short and take little time to fill out. Focus groups on the other hand are normally longer forms that can sometimes follow you for a few days about a particular subject. They might ask you a series of questions, receive your response and then ask you another series of questions. Because of this they pay much more. You can participate in surveys, focus groups or both depending on the time you have available.

3.) How do I know the companies will really pay me? What guarantee do I have that I will be paid?
All the companies on these company lists have been thoroughly researched. If a company was to not pay a survey taker they would be the first to know. Any company that would do that would be quickly removed from these lists. In the many years of offering surveys we have never heard of a company that did not pay a survey or focus group participate. The companies that are listed are very reputable marketing companies that have a high standard of business.

4.) Can I do this from any computer? Do I need to download anything?
There is nothing to download. You do not need any special computer or operating system. You simply log in and find surveys. This can be done from any computer, at any time.

5.) I really love the free bonuses. How will I receive them? Do I need to do anything special?
All free bonuses are available in most members areas, if they have one. You just log in after registration and redeem the free bonuses. You can log in anytime as many times as you wish and redeem the free bonuses.

6.) Can I trust these companies with my personal information and email address? I don't want to receive Spam after I sign up!
All the companies on these lists have strict privacy polices. The only persons with access to your information will be the survey companies themselves. They are not allowed to share your information with anyone. This also means they can not sell or share your email address with any third party. You do not have to worry about getting Spam mail just because you sign up to take surveys.

7.) How many surveys can I take? How much income can I earn?
The amount of surveys taken, and income earned will depend on how much time and effort you put into the surveys. Average monthly income will depend on each individual, and their effort put forth. A person who checks their email often and responds to surveys invitations quickly, or logs into the members area to see what new surveys are available often will obviously make more than someone who only logs in once a week. Income is solely dependent on an individual’s effort and attention to survey offers.

8.) How am I paid and how often? Am I sent a check by postal mail?
The company you will be doing the survey for will pay you by company check sent by postal mail. Some companies will allow you to be paid by Paypal online. Paypal is a online payment center which you can us only if you choose. NO, you do not have to accept PayPal for paychecks. You can specify you only want payment sent postal mail by company check. Most paychecks are sent twice monthly .. some will pay once a month.

9.) Does it matter where I live? Are the surveys open to everyone - even world wide?
Most paid survey opportunities require that you are at least 18 years of age, but other than that there are no specific requirements. Some companies will only accept survey takers in the USA, but most are looking for Survey takers from all over the world. Because of this, many list which companies are US only and which are International. This makes it easy to know which to apply to depending on where you live.

10.) Can I participate in the same surveys as others? Are there enough surveys to go around?
Will surveys ever "run out"?
Yes, hundreds of people can, and will take the same survey. There are hundreds if not thousands of surveys available every day. Most surveys will require a very large amount of participates so there are always plenty of surveys to go around.

11.) How do I know this is not some SCAM? How do I know this is a legitimate employment offer?
These companies have been in business for many years and going stronger than ever! In fact, there are many, many, more surveys and survey offers available today then when these companies first opened for business. The need for survey takers keeps rising and we need to fill the employment opportunities. If this was not a legitimate employment offer we would have been out of business long ago.
