On Line Surveys

How Paid Surveys Work

Companies spend millions of pounds every year on Market Research.

Understanding how people think and shop and why they buy certain products can help companies improve their products and services and make them even more money.

The paid online surveys and market research sites listed here will pay or otherwise reward you to participate in their surveys, polls and quizzes with cash and prizes. Some online survey companies pay money immediately on completion of the survey whilst others offer sweepstakes, vouchers or prize rewards.

Register with the companies listed below and you can get paid to take surveys and influence marketing decisions worldwide either via surveys or online focus groups.

What are surveys?

Surveys are questionnaires designed to inform companies about what people like you think about their products and services. They can be done online or over the phone. The answers from the participants are then compiled by market researchers and used to make important decisions about product design and advertising campaigns.

What are Focus Groups?

Focus groups are a marketing research technique in which a group of people (usually around 8—10) are led through a discussion of a particular product or service by a trained moderator. They can be conducted in person, online or over the phone. Focus groups are designed to give a company a better idea of how consumers perceive a particular product or service.

Below are our favorite survey companies, separated into two sections. The first section are all free to register, the second section you have to pay a small registration fee to join. There are many more available and I would recommend you join as many as you can.
