Work-From-Home Job Spotlight: Online Survey Taker

Each Thursday, I’m highlighting a work-from-home job or business.


Job Description: An online survey taker fills out surveys from a variety of companies.

Education: None necessary.

Skills: The ability to fill out surveys online and to clearly state your opinions.

Job outlook: Compensation for taking surveys can include free products, gift cards and cash. This is more a hobby than a business, but if you are looking for a small time commitment, this could be the answer.

Possible employers: There are many survey sites out there, but remember you should never pay to take a survey. Some good survey sites include ZoomPanel, PineCone Research, Greenfield Online, Ipsos North America and Viewpoint Forum.

Preparation: Carefully read all the fine print before signing up to take a survey. Never give your Social Security number or other personal banking information on a survey.

Get your foot in the door: Start out with just a few surveys a month to get a feel for whether this would work for you.

Testimony: Andrea in Mesa, Arizona, enjoys sharing her opinion in online surveys. “I get a variety of things for filling out the surveys, such as cash, gift cards, and points redeemable for merchandise, such as hummingbird feeders,” she says. “Through filing out these surveys, I have received hundreds of dollars in gift cards.”

Until next time,

Sarah
