1. How can I become a Member?
It's simple. All you need to do is complete the
"SIGN UP" page. Once you become a Member,
you can participate in any of the online surveys through our preferred
list in the Members Only Area.
2. Are there any additional fees after becoming a Member?
There are no additional fees. The only fee is the small one time Membership
Fee.
3. How much do the surveys pay?
Each survey varies but can pay up to $150 and more per survey or panel
discussion, depending on the length of the survey or forum group.
4. How long does it take to complete a survey?
The length of the time varies between surveys. Generally the surveys
take between 10-15 minutes to complete.
5. Why is there a fee?
We charge a small one time for the service we provide, allowing you
to quickly locate and participate in survey opportunities listed in
our system. The fee pays for marketing, web development, and maintenance.
We do nothing without your permission, and we respect your privacy.
For this reason, we allow members to choose the companies they want
to work with. Membership allows you to set up an account (or register)
with your chosen companies. Once you're account is ready you will be
eligible to participate and be paid to complete their surveys. Many
will send survey opportunities via email. Others have surveys available
on their website. As a member, you can register with as many companies
as you want. There are no additional registration fees for our members.
The companies you choose to work with will be the companies who will
pay you (we do not pay you). They will also be the ones who send you
the survey opportunities, not us. Because each company in our system
varies somewhat from one another, they operate in various ways. Some
will pay you via paypal. Some will mail you a paycheck. Most will send
your compensation 5 days after you've completed the survey. Others'
compensation policy may be longer. They present their individual compensation
policy info prior to your registration with them. The number of survey
invitations you receive depends upon the amount of personal information
you provide to the companies you choose. The more they know about your
experiences, activities, likes and dislikes, the more matches with surveys
will be made, and the more you will earn.
Many surveys require some level of participant screening using criteria
such as location, age, lifestyle, etc. These criteria are used to ensure
accurate research data.
6. What about income taxes?
You will be responsible for your tax management. Taxes are not deducted
from the survey paid amount. The survey pay amount (per survey) is the
final amount paid for that individual survey. You are not required to
fill out a w-9 or any other federal documents.
7. How long after I complete a survey will I be paid?
Checks are usually cut within 5 days of survey or panel participation.
Some will pay you via paypal (For info on paypal, visit http:/paypal.com).
Some will mail you a paycheck. They present their individual compensation
policy and procedure info prior to your participation with them. For
info on paypal, visit http://paypal.com
8. I live outside the US, can I still participate?
Yes. We encourage all people all over the world (all ages and in some
cases, even children) to participate in research surveys. Membership
fee is paid in US Dollars. It doesn't matter where you live.
9. How many surveys can a Member participate in daily?
There is no limit to the amount of surveys a Member may participate
in daily. The number of survey invitations you receive depends upon
the amount of personal
Information you provide to the companies you choose. The more they know
about your experiences, activities, likes and dislikes the more matches
with surveys will be made.
10. Can Members participate in the same exact surveys other
Members participate in?
Yes.
11. Why do these companies pay so much money for these surveys?
Your participation in giving your opinion on different research surveys
directly influences the way companies develop products, services and
policies, allowing them to better meet the needs of consumers.
