Just type the initial two words of the above title into Yahoo! search box and you'll immediately discover that there are at least as many as 28 000 companies on line who offer to make money by simply taking a survey. Which of them really pay, anyway? That is something to think about... The good news, anyway, is that the smart search has already been done for you.
Of course, it would be irrealistic to test drive even a 1/100 fraction of ALL companies by a small group of enthusiasts, but by random research we did detect 2 companies on the huge paid survey market that definitely deserve dealing with. Never predicting you will make exactly as much as we did with them, we highly recommend that you try your chances at these places - absolutely risk free. Don't learn from your mistakes, learn from ours!
Survey Scout ™ - "We've shown 1000s of people all over the world how to get paid for their opinions". Survey Scout Paid Heighest!
The first place was awarded to with its easily searchable database and variety of paid online survey offers to choose from. It is also the only paid survey company on the Internet we discovered to provide a great online support by a live person. Paid surveys and participation in focus groups are explained and offered. If you don't know, focus groups are a marketing research technique in which a group of people (usually about 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. Surveys are questionnaires designed to inform companies about what people think about their products and services. As a member of Survey Scout you can participate in both surveys and focus groups. If you just did 1 survey a day and get paid $20 for each, that would total $600 a month. The same could be expected from participating in 4 focus groups. But in principle your income is solely dependent on your effort and attention to survey offers.
We did find out that making average of $19 - $23 per hour is absulutely realistic to expect once you've developed some basic skills on properly applying the Survey Scout's original utility software to the system they've developed and form the right strategies. You are explained exactly what to do to ensure your earnings add up quickly - and more importantly - how YOU can get started with it literally in the next few minutes. With Survey Scout you could earn back your entire membership fee with your very first survey! They will send you an instant $25 survey once you are signed up.

Why do we think these Guides are valuable?
The companies reviewed above are information brokers. They don't come up with their own paid survey campaigns, they are on the market of locating companies interested in recruiting people to fill out their survey forms, questionnairs and participate in online survey pannels, and then promote their orders in bulk to satisfy the market demand. The companies who order opinion survey polls are in need of the information to let them make informed desicions as to their products quality and possible ways of improving it, and this is what they are willing pay you for. As for the intermediaries (information brokers), they are interested in filling their databases with reliable companies whose reputation and business background are verified before the inclusion. They are your first line of defence against online scams and rip offs - and this is where the value of their job resides. They also offer their specially designed systems, assistance, guidance and, usually, as a free gift, software utilities to accelerate your work and increase the efficiency. For their job they take a modest fee, but that is well worth of, every penny of it. Remember also that further you are NEVER asked to pay to participate in paid survey - it's YOU who get paid by the companies who order the polls. To better understand the value of these Guides you may wish to have a look at what bad experience of acting at random may look like.
