This how to article is a simple and clear guide for paid survey beginners to get a quick and good start on making money with paid surveys. If you are new to the paid survey world, please follow my step by step instructions.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Remember: do NOT pay anyone to do paid online surveys whatsoever. It is always FREE to do paid surveys and get paid. Legitimate paid survey and market research companies do NOT charge you - they pay YOU for YOUR opinion.

  2. Step 2

    Set up a dedicated email account. You will get lot of emails and you need a separated email address for survey invitation emails. Note: you'll need to turn OFF your spam filter or set the spam filter option to "do not delete emails in spam folder immediately" -- otherwise you might miss survey emails.

  3. Step 3

    You might want to open a free Paypal account. Many of survey sites offer their payment via Paypal. It's free to send money, and free to accept payment if you have a basic account (a low transaction fee apply for Premier and Business Accounts to receive money), and it is usually faster than check payment.

  4. Step 4

    Sign up with as many legitimate paid survey companies as possible. To find legitimate paid survey companies, visit one of the free and good paid survey information sites such as MySurvey123.com which has FREE lists of legitimate paid survey sites with reviews and ratings, as well as paid survey guide, advice and tips.

  5. Step 5

    Fill out profile surveys while or after signing up withe paid survey sites, and be honest when providing such information.

  6. Step 6

    Response survey invitations quickly. Most surveys have quota and some fill fast, especially high paying/easy to qualify surveys.

  7. Step 7

    Finally you have to be patient. This is very important for survey beginners. It takes a while to get paid since most survey sites have minimum payout requirement and it takes time for them to process payment. Also it takes a while to receive more surveys. Usually it takes at least 2 months to get and qualify for more surveys and see money coming in.

on 8/1/2009 Hey I found this website where I make money just doing surveys, I made 276$ last month. I am really starting to save up some money for my baby who is due in December 8th. This is the only survey website that I found that really pays you every month honestly. http://cashcrate.com/1381620
