As you have probably found out the hard way, it is not how many referrals that you get, but it is the quality of those referrals. You want to attract people that want to get paid for taking an online survey. You don't want some unmotivated browser, that will join and do absolutely nothing. There are many easy ways to make your referral number skyrocket, and most of them do not involve you having to pay for internet adverstising of any sort. This involves everything from homemade flyers to pass out at a local college, or telling each and every one of your family members and friends (you won't believe how good of a referral a friend/family member can be).
You may want to dive into the paid advertising portion once you get comfortable with what works and what doesn't work, but, who knows, you might not even NEED to pay for any sort of advertising (ex: google adwords). You might end up making a nice amount of money getting people to join survey copanies doing free marketing. The trick is to know what survey sites are good and reward well. You want your referral to feel comfortable with the site they join and you want them to be able to make money themselves. That is why you want to join AND get paid from every single online survey site that you promote. That way, you know that your referrals will enjoy the site enough to keep making money. The longer yor referral is active, the longer you will get paid from the work they do!
Sign up to one of the top online survey sites and get a feeling of what it is about. DO surveys yourself. Earn money. Get paid from them. That way, when you promote it, you can tell your referal exactly what to expect and what to do to make the most money possible from that particular online survey site. Remember, you want a Quality Referral, that enjoys making money taking surveys. The better you lay everything out and give good information, the more likely they are to jump right in and become a consistant money maker for months, or even years to come.
Join 5 or 6 of the highest converting survey sites on the web and spread your referrals between them. You will soon find out which ones are keeping your referrals interested, and you will be able to target a couple of your higher converting survey sites for your referals to join.
Like the claims of many sellers or retailers, some stretching of the truth happens in order to get the attention of the buyer. This requires some detective work on your part.
While those $150+ paid online surveys are true and really do occur, they are few and far between. You would only be able to land a survey with that high of a payout if you had special knowledge or expertise on a particular subject matter and the company that wrote the survey needed an expert's opinion.
What is the normal payment for filling out an online survey? Well, the surveys you would realistically be able to participate in would pay in the area of $4 - $50. This would of course vary with the length of the survey. Although lower than the hyped up high paying surveys, this is nothing to sneeze at. You could work your way up to a nice monthly income by working in 15 to 30 minute increments at your convenience. The flexibility in your work schedule may be a very attractive benefit for you. And as you work at filling out surveys for money you will find yourself working more efficiently, getting more done in less time.
Generally no company would pay $100 to fill out a 10 minute survey. But the longer the survey takes to fill out the more they would pay. When doing paid online surveys for cash you may choose to do many 10 minute surveys which pay less, or alternatively, you may choose the longer surveys which pay more.
Who can participate in these paid online surveys? Since many companies sell their items and services to average everyday consumers, an average everyday consumer would fit the bill quite nicely. There are of course age requirements and the issue of country of residence where the survey taker resides, but the requirements to participate are quite easily met.
Stay at home moms with busy and sporadic schedules have participated in paid online surveys to supplement their family income. Retired persons, who are limited in their choices for work are also taking part. College students are always in need of extra money and this suits many of them as well.
Whatever your situation, getting paid for online surveys could be an option you may not want to pass up!
