5 Great Ideas about Where to Look for Paid Surveys

Searching at online classifieds
Think of it as the virtual version of newspapers classified sections. While many online classifieds websites allow free and public access to the ads posted in their sites. Others however may require you to register for an account, which may or may not be free and before you can access the full details of each ad.

Start searching at categories like work-at-home jobs or home-based jobs. Possibly, there may be job ads posted under the freelancing, temporary, or part-time categories as well.

Getting involved in forums
Forums are not just a place to discuss hot topics and issues. Many times, these forums also include sections where members can post all sorts of advertisement an including work-at-home paid survey jobs.

There are two ways for you to get the job you want by joining forums: firstly, you search the forum's job listing section. Most forums require you to register an account before you can access any of its services.

Certain sections, and the job listing segment is usually included in this category, post additional requirements before members can gain access.

Some forums, for instance, require their members to have at least twenty posts first, regardless of the topic before they can access such sections.

The second way to look for work-at-home jobs is by posting an ad yourself. Indicate what you're looking for and what your qualifications are for the job.

Make sure to provide your contact details as well. Posting an ad may or may not require you to make payment.

Going through blogs
Many helpful members of the Internet community generously share and provide information about paid survey jobs. Better yet, most of these sites provide additional resources which could be helpful for your intended home-based career.

From these blogs, you can learn a variety of things such as dos and don'ts for answering online paid surveys and which middleman firms you should avoid.

Direct access to companies
Although this method is slightly more difficult than those previously discussed, contacting companies directly would ensure that you'll be compensated in full and without any deductions that are usually charged by middleman firms.

Working with middleman firms
These firms profit from recruiting individuals like you and recommending them to companies conducting online surveys.

These firms may or may not charge you a membership fee and deductions from your compensation depending on their agreement with the said companies.

Purchasing paid survey job listings
Lastly, if you don't wish to work for a middleman firm or spend a considerable amount of time browsing the Internet for paid surveys, you can always purchase a job list. For a one-time payment, you immediately gain access to hundreds of paid survey job sites.

Of course, knowing where to look is only the first step for the job. The next thing to focus on is ensuring that you're indeed qualified to answer the surveys in order to get paid for it. But that's another story so right now, just concentrate first on collecting as many survey jobs as you can.
