Can you really make money with surveys?

It is very tempting to sit at home at your computer, taking surveys and getting paid for your opinions.

Research companies use a number of ways to gain the opinions they need for their products.

As well as taking online surveys you can also take part in focus groups, where you meet up with other people to discuss products, you can try out new products (and keep the products too!), as well as previewing movie trailers. You can also get paid for forum postings.

It makes sense for companies to pay for people for research for their products. Advertising in the US is a $200 billion industry. Companies need to know when they advertise they are getting it right.

The pros of paid online surveys are:

• You don't need previous experience
• You don't need a website
• You don't need to sell anything or pay for advertising
• There are hundreds of survey companies offering these opportunities online
• This is something you could do in your spare time

The disadvantages are:

• Work may not be regular
• Would probably not provide enough income to live on, however this would make an ideal spare time job
