What should I expect in a survey company?
Expect that there will be rules to follow. One of the rules is that everyone must be honest and must provide honest responses. You can also expect to get paid; that is, If you’ve signed up with a credible survey website. Depending on the company, you can get paid in cash, gift checks, or points.
You should also expect that surveys take time. Doing paid surveys might seem an easy way to make money but that doesn’t negate the truth that companies are paying you to provide your honest opinions and insights about a new product, etc. Also know that you have to take each survey seriously because survey companies now have a way to find know whether you’re a speeder or not.
iPaidSurveys also lists what you should not expect and one of those things is that paid surveys will make you rich. Payment per accomplished survey is anywhere from $0.5 to $5 so, if you spend only a few minutes a day answering surveys, your income from that might not meet your daily expenses. It also helps if you make more realistic expectations about your time management, the ease or difficulty of the survey, and the payment process.
