Paid Survey Q & A

 Have you ever accidentally had a survey sent to you in another language, and if so did you complete it?
Yes, several times, and I attempted to complete them the best I could after all some of them were meant to be paid. The various languages I’ve done surveys in span from English of course, German, Spanish, Chinese, and French.

Do you think points are worth doing surveys for?
All depends upon the company but I can tell you this much, several paid survey company’s exchange of points work out better then point blank cash. There are several paid survey companies that pay in points that I go out of my way to do surveys for due to the great point to cash exchange.

Do you have to claim survey income on your taxes?
I’m no tax expert, sorry I wouldn’t dare offer tax advice after all, it seems to change every year.

Can anyone do surveys?
As long as you can read, have an email account, mailing address and possibly a paypal account sure!

Do you think there is a down fall to doing surveys?
Yes. If you are going to lie about race, age, sex, or anything else they ask you, you need to be prepared to face legal action. This is performing a fraud and you can be sued because of this.

How could they possible check a person lying about race, age, sex and the sorts?
Easy, they will send out a paid survey you will never be paid for, telling you it’s a routine maintenance or they have to update their records. If your profile doesn’t match when you first signed up, WHAM you are booted, and you can expect a call and/or perhaps even a threat of legal action. Terms of survey sites are very clear, it’s just not a lot of users read them.

Why are some paid survey panel links “https” instead of “http”?
Well, that’s because “https” means secure. So your data is being transmitted upon a secure server. “https” is a good thing.

Do you have any tips not posted?
Yes. When you get a survey invite, read the email. The survey company will always tell you what they are looking for or need. So you know to waste your time or not. After all they may want males and you may be female.

If you belong to a lot of survey panels and decide to join more, click on "sign in" to be sure you aren’t already a part of that panel.

These are good tips for someone who actually wants to try and earn money from survey sites. And completing surveys in different languages? Wow.

One thing you should have up there though, is never sign up for any survey sites that make you pay before you can sign up. Those are ALWAYS scams.
