Today, it is very important for a brand or company to know its customers or target audience very well. This helps them in bringing the best products & services to satisfy their users, and in-turn succeed in the market. This is where surveys come into the picture. A paid survey is nothing but a medium which is used by the merchants to get their consumers opinions in a friendly and rewarding manner.
There are many sites which offer paid surveys but not all of them pay you well. Thus, we have got some selected paid survey portals which can be relied on for genuine rewards. Before proceeding ahead you need to take care of the following points while answering surveys.
Survey Prerequisites for Better Earnings
- Complete your profile questions (they may not be paid) to increase your chances of getting more surveys and better rewards.
- Most of the surveys have screening questions at the start to check whether your opinion will be useful or not. If not, you will not be allowed to participate in the survey. Many people give false answers to screening questions in order to win the survey reward. Initially, they are rewarded, but the surveyor can catch them from their answers and revoke the reward later. These users are blacklisted and thus receive few surveys. Therefore, it is recommended to answer honestly.
- At times you won’t earn more for lengthy surveys, but if you are calm and consistent, you may get unbelievable earnings ahead.
- Read the T&C’s of your reward vouchers well otherwise extra excitement may lead to voucher failure.
- On an average, a survey portal will provide you with 8-10 surveys a month. Thus, register on more portals simultaneously if you want to earn more.
Now, let's have a look at the best paid survey portals in 2020.
