I was once asked, "why do I do paid online surveys" and I replied, "look around my house, see that DVD player, the digital camera, the toaster, the Xbox, they all came from getting paid to do surveys online".

Whilst doing online surveys won't replace your income from a full time job, they will give you extra cash that you can use towards what I like to call little extra's. Those are things that you always wanted to buy for yourself but couldn't quite afford. Doing online surveys and getting paid for them has allowed me to get those little extra's and I am sure they will do the same for you as they have for me. My first survey I ever did was with Survey Savvy it paid me US$100 and took me 45 minutes to complete, needless to say I was hooked, I couldn't believe it was this easy to make money online. I will admit that was the first and only survey I have ever received that amount of money for. From my experience surveys range from as little 93 cents and right through to $100, I myself have done quite a few surveys and market research assignments worth around $40 to $50. Not all surveys pay cash though, some sites will give you rewards from a reward catalogue, such as movie tickets and gift vouchers or electrical goods. I think over the years I have received over $1,000 in gift vouchers and they certainly come in handy at Christmas. So why do I do them? Well pretty much it is like getting a small 2nd income from something that I enjoy my hobby if you like. When I say small, I mean at least $200 per month if not more, it all depends on if I actualy do the surveys that are sent to me, that is one of the great things about paid online surveys, if you are too busy to a do a survey or you don't like the topic, you don't have to do it, just wait for the next survey to come along and do that one instead. I see online surveys as a fun and easy way to make extra cash from the comfort of your own home, that is why I do them.
