First to answer the question that is probably in your mind because it WAS in mine until now:
“Are Paid Surveys Online For Real?”
Answer: YES
The simplicity to it is that taking online surveys is a legitimate way for companies that have the extra capital to test drive different markets with products and consumer trends. If a large company can spend $20 per potential customer over a test market of let’s say 500 – 1000 people, the company can gain very valuable information that may have cost them 20 million in a real world test run.
Quite frankly, this makes a LOT of sense to me and obviously to the companies as well.
Sometimes when we take are individual incomes and attempt to wrap our brain around a 20 million dollar spend, it can be difficult. But regardless of the mental block this causes most people, its very easy to understand that $20,000 spend to test drive a market is much cheaper and cost effective than a 20 million dollar spend. Heck, even a 1 million dollar spend.
Especially in today’s economy, there’s not as much money flowing around as there used to be. This means that company’s must be ever so vigilant on how they spend their hard earned revenue. Paying clients and potential clients to gain valuable information is definitely a great and GROWING way of these companies to control their costs.
