The low cost and fast response time of the Internet are changing the way that public opinion and consumer opinion surveys are being done. Survey makers like the short turnaround times, generally 24 hours, and low cost of taking surveys online. Their only problem was finding enough volunteer survey takers to fill out their databases so that they could cover almost all demographic requirements.

To make a useful, valid survey they need more than just the names and email addresses of people willing to fill out the questionnaires. They need a complete demographic profile on each person so that they can identify people in the target population. For survey-takers, answering all the demographic profile questions on an application starts to be something like work. Who needs it? Nobody wants to be bothered by all that.

The motivational problem has been solved by offering to pay survey takers for their opinions, in cash. The survey makers get a large enough data base and fast answers. The survey-taking consumer public gets checks in the mail. Everyone benefits.

The survey marketplace is highly fractionated with over 700 companies making surveys in the U.S. alone. Money changing hands, lots of players, mostly unknown to each other, a lucrative new business area — the scamsters and marginal players trying to make a buck out of the new setup were not long in coming.

Former direct sales companies re-invented themselves as “Survey Makers” to get the full profile info of a group of consumers so they could better sell their wares to them! Hucksters started running ads, “Make $5,000 a month taking paid surveys! (Just send me $50 and I’ll show you how!)” Yeah, right.

But the real business is there and continues to grow. Tens of thousands of surveys are conducted every week. Tens of thousands of survey takers are getting checks in the mail.

When you get around the rip-off artists to where the real commercial action is, you find that you can convert your opinion, your 2-cents worth, into real money! All you need is a good paid survey guide company (beware of wannabees and fly-by-nighters), an email address and an Internet connection. Oh. Yes. And a place where you can cash your checks!
