Take it seriously

Though this might seem obvious or silly, if you want to legitimately earn supplemental income, you should definitely treat filling online surveys with the same seriousness you have for school or work. Do take the time to schedule blocks of time for completing surveys, set up a dedicated email address, and create spreadsheets to track your time and earnings.

Keep detailed records

It’s impossible to know whether or not you’re making a profit unless you keep detailed records of your survey taking. Try to find a survey tracker that allows you to easily record every survey you’ve participated in. Alternatively, you could use a spreadsheet application that you can access on your desktop or mobile device. Services like Google Sheets™ may even allow you to sync data across devices.

On your spreadsheets, you must keep a record of the following details for each entry:

• Completion date of the survey
• Time spent
• Survey number
• Cash or rewards earned

By filling in such data, you can keep track of the surveys you’ve completed for an individual survey site, as well as your hourly rate.

• Have others had positive experiences?
• How often does the site payout?

Also, make sure to vet all survey companies for legitimacy before signing up. You could also consult top-rated paid survey sites to see which surveys are rated well by survey takers.
