THE TRUTH REVEALED FOR ONLINE PAID SURVEY WEBSITE
by Simon Dawes

After reading all the bad press about online surveys, paid surveys etc, I decided to investigate one that is proving extremely popular down under - in good old Australia. PaidSurvey.com.au (http://www.PaidSurvey.com.au) has recently been given two awards, including "Number One Work From Home Website" in Australia.
This, added to an after-sales support award and the achievement of one million visitors since launch, prompted me to investigate. Is it possible that an online paid survey website could really make people money? The task was to find out if I could actually earn money after joining PaidSurvey.
I wanted to only concentrate on PaidSurvey.com.au as the ".com" version seems geared up for America. I joined up with my VISA card online and was impressed when I was able to download the information they provide, quickly and easily.
It's not good when you have to wait for something to be emailed to you! So, it started off looking good for PaidSurvey.com.au. There are many people who say you shouldn't pay for a list of survey companies online, but it seems that these guys offer after-sales support (and a REAL phone number) to help you make the best of your purchase - another good point. To pay $37.95 (Australian Dollars) for the updated information applicable to Australian companies (no American stuff) and to get the support seemed ok.
I figured you could never rely on lists that have been flogged to death on the Internet, so maybe it was better to pay a small one-off fee and get the real deal. Ok, so the two documents contained the details as promised. The links to the registration pages of the companies worked fine and they also included a bonus help and tips document.
Whilst this wasn't the most interesting read I've ever had, it was still useful in helping me getting started. After registering with all the market research companies, I received a call two days later and was asked to attend a focus group.
This was in Sydney and we discussed dog food of all things! I was paid $80 in cash for a one-hour session, so I had essentially doubled my investment from PaidSurvey.com.au. The online surveys started coming in over the next few days, but whilst they only averaged about $3 per survey, it still mounted up. I was also asked to do online surveys for points to be redeemed at shopping outlets, which seemed ok, but to be honest, I preferred the cash ones - which there were many of.
I contacted the support team at Paid Survey and asked a question as to how I could maximise my income and I received a reply within seven minutes, which I was AMAZED at. In addition to this, it was a "real" reply, not one of these annoying automated ones. I can now see why they got their after-sales award. In summary, two weeks after joining PaidSurvey.com.au, I have earned about $290 in cash and tallied up $97 from online surveys.
I also have some gift vouchers, which is ok as an added bonus. A near $400 return on investment of $38 permits me to recommend Paid Survey highly. Their documents were available instantly and their support team were fast, fast, fast! In addition to this, the monetary rewards speak for themselves. Is PaidSurvey.com.au a scam? ABSOLUTELY NOT.
This is probably the only genuine company out there and after investigating many money-making opportunities, I have no hesitation but to recommend PaidSurvey. Seriously, well done. 10/10
