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

1. Take up all survey offers you receive initially: Survey sites will likely not send you their highest paying offers as soon as your register. Don’t be deterred by this. Start taking the surveys that offer lower payouts and use them as an opportunity to show the survey company your opinions can be trusted. If you do this consistently, the company will start sending you better offers.

2. Don’t give dishonest answers: Novice survey takers assume they will receive more survey offers if they key in answers that they think the survey company wants to hear. This may work for you in the short run, but companies will soon realize you’re not providing them any valuable insights and you may end up losing your account (and your earnings as well).

3. Complete your profile: Completing your profile will tell the survey site more about your demographic, interests, likes and dislikes, and more. Survey companies are more likely to send high-paying survey offers to candidates who have completed this step.

4. Don’t give up: A common mistake that many survey takers make is that they give up too soon. Remember you need to stick at it if you want to receive higher-paying survey offers.

5. Ask: If nothing else works, there’s no harm in asking the survey company what is going on. That way, the company will know you are a dedicated and active member. You may also discover something you did not already know or learn some exclusive survey tips from the company.
