Here’s a look at some tips that will help you start earning money with paid surveys:

1. Not answering survey questions honestly: One of the most common mistakes that people make is submitting dishonest or inconsistent answers to finish the survey quickly. Some people assume they can just click buttons instead of providing thoughtful answers to make a quick buck. This may work out for you in the short term, but companies usually know when you are not being honest, and will likely disqualify you.

2. Creating fake accounts: Many companies have rules against people taking the same survey from multiple email accounts. So, don’t make the mistake of creating multiple fake accounts to increase your earnings. You can easily be caught, and you risk losing your account and your earnings.

3. Paying for surveys: Legit survey sites pay you for your opinion because your feedback is what helps brands improve their products and services. Given this, reliable survey companies will never ask you to make a payment to take a survey or join the site. Remember that it is the survey company that needs your opinion, and not vice versa.

4. Not checking when points or rewards expire: All survey sites are different and typically have varied time frames within which you need to cash out your rewards. So, if you are not aware of when your points will expire, you could risk losing your hard-earned rewards.

5. Giving up too soon: A common mistake that people make is that they give up on surveys too soon because the initial earning may seem low. Avoid doing this. Remember that you won’t receive great offers in the beginning. But as you keep completing surveys, you’ll start receiving more offers, especially if the company recognizes that you are someone who provides honest answers.
