1. Don’t lie while answering the profile questions

It’s important that you are honest when answering profile questions when first signing up on the survey site. Essentially, companies use this information when gathering and analyzing their data. You aren’t doing your part of the deal if you aren’t being honest. Besides, if you lie when answering the profile questions, you will be lowering your chances of getting suitable survey invites.

2. Create a separate account for surveys: If you’ve signed up on multiple survey sites, you will be receiving a lot of emails. So, rather than using your personal or corporate email ID, we recommend setting up a new email account to use solely for surveys. You can then just log in to your new account to check what surveys are available.

3. Keep your survey information organized: Over a period of time, it will become hard to remember how much you’ve earned from different surveys. So, create a spreadsheet, where each survey platform or site has its own tab. Once this is done, enter the name of the survey you took, how many points, cash, or rewards you earned, the mode of payment, and other relevant details. We know this seems tedious, but it will help in the long run.

4. Enter surveys consistently: Taking surveys online is relatively easy and usually doesn’t take too much time. However, if you want to do it full-time, it’s important that you set aside some time, whether it’s 30 minutes or two hours, every day based on what works best for you. Use this time to actively look for new survey opportunities and take as many surveys as you can.
