Want to know what the average Joe gets paid for completing surveys? It's not $10 to $40 as some sites would have you believe. It's not even $5. The average survey pays only $1 to $2. Yes, there are surveys available that pay higher amounts, but these are either occasional offers or go to people in a certain income bracket or status.

However, before you become disillusioned, let me comfort you with this fact: You can still earn good spare time money filling in and submitting surveys. You should find an abundance of the lower paid surveys but the secret is to minimise the time it takes to complete these. The more you complete, the more you earn. More about this later.

First, let us look at why some people will get paid more than others.

Paid surveys come in various guises. At first when you register, you will receive a survey as part of the registration process. This will ask you many questions about you personally. What your income is, what kind of car you drive, where you travel on vacation, even what stores you shop in and many more

This information can be used to assess the type of survey you will receive and that means how much you will get paid for completing it. After all, there is no point in sending a survey about executive car contract hire to someone who always travels by bus.

That does not mean to say you will never be offered the higher priced surveys. There are always occasional, long and in-depth surveys that pay top money. Just do not expect these to pop up frequently.

The first paid surveys you are likely to be offered may be anything from $2 to $5. These will be good for getting you accustomed to the procedure. You will also become more accurate and much faster at completing these with experience. This is where you really can up your earnings, by becoming more skilled at filling in the forms (no two are the same) because speed is the essence when you do this to make money.

It is also important to have a well established survey list provider with a well kept and updated survey database. There are so many new survey sites that come and go, and you must watch out for the scam sites, who want your money but deliver old and out of date information. Choose your list provider with car

You can use free software to fill in your personal details and save lots of time doing repetitive tasks. You need to have a list of current paid survey companies and agents to hand as it is important to register for as many as you can. Try to register for at least 10 to 20 each day and you will soon have a list of several hundred to hand.

You need this to be able to select the best offers and to have surveys sent to you on a regular basis. Here is a summary of what you need:

A compendium of survey companies at hand for fast registration.

Form filling software to cut down the time it takes to submit your personal details.

A quiet spot in your home to work undisturbed.

The ability to complete and submit surveys with relative speed. (For maximum cash.)

So there you have it. It is possible to make extra cash doing surveys if you put your mind to it. Do not be misguided into thinking you will get $20 or $40 for most of the surveys you complete. It will be more likely be from $1 to $5. The secret is to do as many of these as you can in an hour. The money will soon accumulate. This is what the clever people do, those that really do make money from survey taking.
