Why do Companies Take Surveys?
Due to the high competition in every field, companies try to get feedback from their customers on the quality of the product, its service and other details, also to know what the customers really want. This feedback helps companies in their research. It also helps companies to know the product information of their competitors.
But due to less time, less manpower or any other limitation, it is not possible for every company to take surveys or feedback from customers. So they hire third party platforms to conduct surveys on their product or service or for a research goal and pay them some amount. These third party platforms take surveys from specific customers and provide information to the parent company in analytical form or as the company requires.
Some of the 3rd party platforms are Theroemreach, Peanuts Lab, Opinion capital, Revenue wall, Adscend Media, Cint survey, Pollfish ,etc. These platforms tie up with other mobile apps or websites (the ones you use to answer surveys) and pay them a certain amount. From mobile apps/ websites, they get specific people to answer their surveys.
Is answering online surveys for money safe ?
Yes, answering surveys for money is a safe and legal way. But to answer the survey, use only legal and authentic apps / websites.
Can We Really Make Money Online by Answering surveys ?
Yes, most of the websites/ apps are legit and genuine, if you do the following you can easily earn money by answering surveys on various platforms.
- When you sign up on a website/app, check the ratings and reviews first. For mobile app, you can check app ratings on Google Play store or iOS store. Do not use apps with ratings less than 3.5 out of 5. Here I am saying 3.5 because sometimes some apps are new and they did not achieve good ratings due to some other stuffs like user experience, performance issue, etc., Sometimes users use the app only for a few hours and they not able to get the minimum redemption amount within that time, based on that experience, they feel that it is not a good app to earn money and give bad rating to app. Also do not use old genuine app with rating less than 3.5, as this app may be genuine but pay on this app may be very less, that’s why the rating on this app is low. For websites, you can see reviews on Quora or YouTube, or you can check out my other posts.
- When you download an app and sign in using your account details, the initial survey you will receive will be related to your profile details such as personal, education, economic, geographic (for privacy, do not give all correct address details in the survey) details, etc.. For geographic details, use urban or semi-urban locations as most companies want to conduct surveys from Tier 1 or Tier 2 cities. Therefore, your chances of qualifying increase if you use an urban or semi-urban address.
- Whenever you are answering profile questions (or any other general survey), read each question correctly and then answer it. Based on your profile and initial survey, your further surveys are dependent.
- During the survey, sometimes they ask about you or your family’s work background, if you or any member of your family works for government or market agencies or a research company, You will easily be disqualified for most of the surveys as the surveys are mostly taken from the general public. So if any such question is asked, choose none.
- Do not cheat during the survey and do not rush to answer the questions. There is no correct answer to any question in the survey (it can be positive or negative or neutral). You can answer based on your reasoning, knowledge and information about that product/ service, but answer only related to that topic.
- Now in most of the mobile apps, the appl shows you the survey rating before starting the survey. You can decide to answer or reject a survey based on the rating, We’d recommend only trying out surveys with ratings 3 and above.
- Survey is usually done for specific group of people (group changes depending on need of survey). so if you are not part of that group, you will be disqualified in the earlier stage and you will not be paid for that survey. But in some cases, you will be disqualified at the exit stage (i.e. after the survey is completed) and you will not be paid for that survey, in that case please report the issue to that app.
- You may not make much money at the beginning of using the app. But if you continue to use the survey app after a week (or at most a month), you can start earning a few dollars daily or weekly (depending on the app).
- Don’t use only one app. I would suggest use more than two genuine survey apps. Use each app for only 20-30 mins daily in your free time. In each app, you will get some surveys daily, so use that app only for few minutes daily. Also some mobile apps send you a notification once the survey is available, you can check that notification and start the survey at that time. Don’t waste more than an hour on survey app.
