To entice more people to sign up to participate in online surveys, survey makers are now paying cash for each survey taken. As a direct consequence you can now make cash from paid surveys!

It's easy! There are no right answers or wrong answers to survey questions; the survey makers just want your honest opinion, whatever it might be. You can take and make cash from online paid surveys at any time, from any place where you have access to a computer and an Internet connection.

So what, specifically, must you do to make cash from paid surveys? The short answer is that you must fill out an application with each of the good survey makers. Then, when the survey invitations come in, respond, fill out the survey questionnaire and your check will come to you in the mail.

The longer answer is that it is best to work through a reliable paid survey guide company to steer you to the good survey makers. (The bad ones make the most noise and have the most ads on the Internet! And the "free" guides are frequently set up specifically to steer you to the bad survey makers and the sales companies disguised as survey makers!)

When you need to get around in strange territory, it is better for you to pay your own guide than use one that someone else is paying. In this case you want to make cash from paid surveys. There are many out there who only talk cash and actually want to pay you with only a smile and a handshake.

A good guide company will be sizable, of good reputation, growing, and will have a strong 60 to 90 day money-back guarantee backed up by a bank or financial institution such as PayPal or ClickBank. Look at all of these points but look hardest at their refund rate.

The refund rate is the percentage of their clients that demanded their money back. A low refund rate means happy clients. A high refund rate means lots of unhappy clients. Specifically, the ideal refund rate will be in the 3-5% range. Avoid any company with a refund rate over 10%.

When you select your guide company and get started, they will give you a copy of their list of preferred, proven survey-makers. Apply to all of them if possible. If you cannot apply to all, apply to as many as you can. This is a critical step. Remember that you cannot make cash from paid surveys if the survey makers do not send you surveys to take.

And the survey makers cannot send you surveys to take unless they have your name, address and demographic info in their databases. These survey makers are competitors and each database is separate. To make cash from paid surveys you need to apply to each separate company so they can send you surveys to take.

When you start getting invitations to take surveys, respond to them promptly, take the survey, fill out all the blanks fully and answer to the best of your ability. When you respond quickly and well you will get more and more paid surveys to take in the future.
