Yes, it really is possible to Make Money by Filling Out Online Surveys. However, it takes much patience and perseverence.

Here are some pointers on How to Make Money Filling Out Online Surveys.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Create a new free email account with Google, Yahoo, Hotmail, or another similar site. If you end up at one of the lesser quality sites you're likely to get some spam for your troubles, and there's no sense in letting it fill up your personal email inbox.

  2. Step 2

    Do a search with your favorite search engine for “paid online surveys.” There should be quite a number of links come up.

  3. Step 3

    Once you find a few trustworthy lists of online surveys, enter as many as you can, as often as you can. Just make sure you actually want what is being offered: You have to pay taxes on everything that you get.

    Many surveys don't pay cash but offer points instead. Or, they will pick prize winners at random from all of the folks who filled out a survey.

  4. Step 4

    Once you decide there is a survey program you are interested in, you need to fill out the necessary personal information to join. Usually you will have to choose an ID name and a password.

  5. Step 5

    After filling out your information, you usually receive an e-mail informing you if you have been accepted and what the next step is.

    Sometimes the e-mail is called an “activation e-mail” which means that you will have to click on a link in the e-mail to take you to the survey website and complete your application.

  6. Step 6

    After you have been accepted there is usually a beginning survey to take. Once you have filled out the first survey, you should receive points for completing it.

  7. Step 7

    Not everyone will qualify for every survey for a particular program. There are always demographic questions asked to determine your eligibility for a survey.

    This is where the persistence comes in.

  8. Step 8

    How much money you make is determined by how many survey programs you belong to, how many you qualify for, and how much each survey pays.

Tips & Warnings
  • Get a new email account and use it for all surveys. REALLY!
  • Be persistent.
