How to Make Money Taking Surveys & Complaints
If you are looking for a way to make some extra money from home, filling out surveys and fielding complaints for companies is an excellent way to generate cash. A number of market research companies pay quite handsomely for the opinions of ordinary shoppers. Besides earning cash, you can test products before they hit the market.

Avoid any sites that charge you a fee for the opportunity to fill out surveys and serve as a customer service representative for companies. There are scams in the work-at-home job market, so always be on the lookout for offers that seem too good to be true. If a company is promising to pay you hundreds of dollars for little or no work, you can bet that it is a scam.

Check the websites of companies like Lightspeed Research, NPD Online and Pinecone Research. They serve their customers by soliciting the opinions of ordinary consumers, and they reward those consumers with small payments and the opportunity to test products before they are introduced to the market.

Sign up with as many market research and customer service companies as you can, then sort through each offer you receive. You will receive these survey offers by email, so it may be a good idea to set up a separate email address just for your survey work.

Evaluate each offer you receive according to the reward being offered and the time it will take to complete the survey. Filling out a 30-minute survey for a $1 reward may not be worth your while, but a 10-minute survey with a $10 reward is the equivalent of a $60 hourly wage. Don't forget to factor in the value of any test products you may receive as part of the deal.

Continue to evaluate your survey opportunities over the course of a few weeks. Over time you will learn which survey and customer service companies are worth your time and which are not.
