Efficient survey taking

Posted by Offer Tsuriel on September 12, 2009

It is well known, that efficiency in work will get you to higher achievements. In our case, efficiency is when you are not wasting your precious time on surveys that eventually will not pay you. The most common stage when people fail to take paid surveys is the pre-survey stage that is usually consists of short 2-3

pages survey where you asked to answer some very simple  question about your occupation, marital status and education level. Many people don’t take this section of survey seriously, but they are wrong! This pre-survey acting as a gate to the actual paid survey, if you are fail to meet the basic survey taker criteria you are banned and you will never be able to take this survey again, you lost money, time and a chance to get more surveys from that company.

So, now you are asking yourself, what are the ideal criteria to be approved for the paid survey. This is the most important question that you must ask yourself before taking any paid survey. The answer is not a simple one and requires some one time research. Let’s say you are about to register to on-line survey company and on the first few pages you are being asked for your personal information, what answers you should give them? In this case you should ask yourself, what would an ordinary consumer be like. Below I give you some examples:

• Age 25-35
• Married
• 2 children
• Medium level managing position
• Have a mortgage
• Earn 35K-55K annual salary

………
You can figure out what I mean, that is what survey companies looking for. In addition, if you know in advance which company was ordered this survey you can perform a short Google search and find out what is their business scope. Make sure to fit your answers to the survey purpose.
Example: you are about to take a survey from loan company and one of the questions in the pre-survey section is: “Do you have a loan?”, even if you don’t, think as if you do have a loan and answer accordingly, otherwise you can forget being allowed to take this survey and get paid. In addition, if you are successful to pass the per-survey section and now taking the actual survey, it is now not so important what your answers are, just think as you are the person they are looking for and answer the question as you are him.
Now, the big profit that you can have by succeeding to take the first survey, is that based on the info you provided them they will send you more paid surveys and so on and on, this way you can get 25-35 paid surveys to your e-mail every day from different survey companies and earn your monthly paycheck.

One more tip that will help you to fill surveys faster and efficiently is to use survey fill software that you can download for free from my Survey filling software page. It will dramatically decrease your time  per survey.
