None of us wants to buy or change their mattress every month or even after a year. However it is a good health perspective that we should change our mattresses after an interval of ten years because using an older mattress can lead to worse back pains or even arthritis.

To get a softer and a firm foam mattress is a common thought, when buying a new mattress. However, if you are inexperienced in purchasing foam mattresses then rather than getting confused by millions of advertisers available in market, it is better if you consider someone’s advice that has already used a good one, and the best way is to read customer’s genuine reviews who have bought the mattresses.

Various types of discounts are incorporated into the Buckle coupons.

Bulova Watch company has an amazing history. In 1885 a Bohemian young lad named Joseph Bulova migrated to United States at the age of 23 years and opened a small store in New York, where he started to sell watches and clocks.

The company gew at a tremendous rate because it was the first company offering wristwatches for men and women. In 1923 the company adopted the name Bulova Watch Company, Inc.

Australia Paid Surveys – Free Registration to 5 Survey Panels

Everyone loves free things. Be it, free SEO tools, free websites, free money, free gifts or free softwares. The list can go on forever. As long as it is free, it attracts attention. Today I want to introduce to you 5 Survey Panels that allow you to make some extra money from home and you can sign up for all of them for FREE. These are all Australia Paid Surveys but of course available in other countries in a different domain name or website address.

Mind you, although it is not required to pay a single dime to do these surveys; they are all well recognized survey panels. And they do pay you in points which are interchangeable for cash or gift cards or just cash itself.

Here are your 5 Australia Paid Surveys

Valued Opinions
MyView
SurveyVillage
Toluna
LightSpeed Panel

All these survey panels offer surveys to analyze public opinions on various issues:

Food and Beverages – includes snacks, soft drinks, biscuits, beer, wine, energy drinks.
Current Opinions/Issues – Global Warming, Water Consumption, Taxes, Road tolling systems, Immigration Issues, Housing Issues.
Health – Private Health Insurance, Current Public Health Issues, Personal Health, Health Products, Vitamins, Smoking.
Finances – Home Loans, Banking Products, Banks, Interest Rates.
Property – Cars, Homes for sale/rent.
Social Issues – Alcohol Dependence, STDs.
Electronics – MP3 players, Home Electronics, GPS Navigation, Home theatre systems, Computers, Printers.

Alright I cannot list out all the other possible apart from the above issues, generally speaking these survey panels send you surveys on all sorts of things.

How to Sign up?

Go to their website, put in your personal details and your address. Don’t worry they won’t send you spammy things apart from gift cards or cash into your paypal account. The only time survey panels will contact you is through emails. Sometimes there will be options to participate in group surveys or product trials but it all depends on whether you qualify for these kinds of surveys.

How to Qualify for Surveys?

When you sign up for each of the 5 survey panels, they will also ask you other questions that are related to just about anything under the sun. Your answers will be matched to their survey databases and you’ll be send surveys from time to time through emails. This also means that you won’t qualify 100% to all these surveys. Maybe  70% or 50% or less. But don’t worry you will definitely get surveys.

How long are these surveys?

It depends on how long each of these surveys take. Some can range from 5 minutes while some will take up to 45 minutes. The longer the duration of the surveys, the better the payout.

How much can I earn?

Well it really depends. The type of surveys and the amount of surveys you’ve completed definitely affects your earnings. It also depends on whether or not you qualify for these surveys. Usually, when you begin doing each survey, there will be a few screening questions, asking you on:

Age
Gender
Location/State/Country
Occupation/Industry
Surveys you’ve answered before.

So if you passed these few screening questions, you will be allowed to complete the survey otherwise you’ll be redirected to a website saying this

“Unfortunately all our quotas are full. We will send you more surveys in future”
“We are sorry but your demographics do not fit into our database criteria. We will send you more surveys that match your details.”

So… it is not easy. You certainly cannot qualify 100% for all surveys even if you get survey offers from emails.

However, you can also earn by referring a friend. When your friends subscribes to the survey panel, you will be rewarded.

If its not easy, why bother doing it?

Well this is all a matter of personal opinion, do you want to make a little bit extra from doing these surveys or not do any at all. It is YOUR choice.

What about rewards, payouts?

As mentioned earlier, rewards are mostly in the form of gift cards. Example of Rewards*

iTunes Gift Card
Sanity Gift Card
Coles Gift Card
Wish Gift Card
JB HIFi Gift Card
Rebel Sports Gift Card
Dymocks Gift Card
Bunnngs Warehouse Gift Card
Hoyts Gift Card
iSubscribe
OO.com.au Electronic Voucher
Dotti Gift Card Voucher
Bing Lee Voucher
Beaurepaires Voucher
Angus and Coote Gift Voucher
Sussans Voucher
Bras N Things Voucher
Mitre 10 Voucher
SportsGirl Voucher
QuikSilver/Roxy Voucher
EBGames Voucher
SuperCheap Auto
Toys r Us Voucher
Jeanswest Voucher
ABC Shop Gift Card
National Breast Cancer Foundation Donation
Unicef donation
OxFam donation
PayPal Payout

*Unless otherwise stated, itunes, coles gift card, wish card and sanity gift cards are generally available rewards for most survey panels.

As you can see, the gift cards or rewards you can possibly earn is almost endless.

Often when answering your surveys, you will get points which are converted into gift cards valued to a certain amount.

Example: 2000 points converted into Coles Gift Card or iTunes Card, Wish Card etc.

Other survey panels like Light Speed Panel pays directly to your PayPal Account or can be exchanged for gift cards also. It is your choice how you want to be paid or what rewards you want.

These rewards will be mailed to your home address and voila! You can use them for grocery shopping, iTunes Shopping, etc

The only exception to this is Toluna. Points you earn from answering surveys or polls is converted into monthly draws for a special price or into CD evoucher (40000 points). This does not mean that signing up would not reward you as much as other Survey Panels.

Final Words

Online paid surveys are close friends of instant noodles. What a joke! But on hindsight, this is not entirely untrue. You see, online paid surveys can be completed in a matter of minutes just like instant noodles. And taking both can be an enjoyable and heartening experience. Market research or online survey companies have been conducting surveys by mail for umpteen years for now. Even small-time companies have done it with their do-it-yourself (DIY) marketing survey campaigns. Though they do gather a large database of useful, detailed marketing data about their customers and competition, it often took months of survey taking and organization of data into meaningful results.

Businesses now need to maneuver at such breakneck speeds that they cannot wait for slow mail results. More are therefore turning to market research companies that conduct online paid surveys since they provide instant, real-time data about market trends and customer needs. This helps them to launch focused marketing campaigns.

Online paid surveys let you select and click several buttons to express your opinions about the famous brands or other newcomers in the product industry. You wear two hats, one as a consumer and the other as the survey taker. The instant feedback you gave on the individual merchandise, competitors and level of customer satisfaction when you take the free internet paid surveys are automatically wired to the companies’ marketing division. In the process, you are also given tangible rewards mainly in cash.

Online survey companies are also hired by shopping centers that are interested in giving shoppers a delightful shopping experience at their malls. The online paid surveys can be pretty interesting and entertaining. At times, they may even offer focus group surveys or some online games as well. You may come across instant online surveys to pick your favorite music or soundtrack, or even select your favorite shop in the mall. Rewards like restaurant vouchers, discount cards, shopping vouchers and other prize draws etc are huge draws to work-at-home mums.

From what you can see, taking online paid surveys can be fun, interesting and mutually beneficial for both you and the online survey companies. Online survey companies absolutely love free internet paid surveys for the instant information they give. Internet users on the other hand get to speak their mind and air their views about the products and services they use, and get paid for it. Both parties gain.

Keen on taking online paid surveys but don’t know how to start? Immerse yourself in handy tips at my online survey blog.

317 cash paying surveys, 31 get paid to drive or get a free car, 117 get paid to shop opportunities

When it comes to making money online there is no area that is more fraught with scam than paid surveys.

Do a search on Google for ‘surveys’ or ‘paid surveys’ and you will see more than 7 million results.  Click on many if not most of them and it will be a web site that has a giant list of paid survey sites that are all free to join.  Case in point is the cash for surveys web site.

Are there REALLY that many nice guys out there that make entire web sites around free to join money making surveys and they do it all for free just because they are such great guys?  Mother Theresa is proud in her grave.

No.

The reality of paid surveys is this.  Go to any one of the survey web sites that show up in the Google search for ‘paid surveys’ (the ones that show a giant list of survey sites to join like cash for surveys web site shown above) and of the 70 or 90 surveys shown in the list 99% of them are not even real survey sites.

There are about 9 or 10 real and legitimate survey sites that you can get access to for free online.  One of them for example is Global Test Market.  Most of the surveys of the 9 or 10 do not even pay money.  They enter you into sweepstakes drawings where about 1 in 10,000 members might win something.

So why and how are there so many web sites listing so many survey offers online?

Here is how it works.

The 9 or 10 legit survey site have surveys from big companies in their database.  Coke wants to know what people think of there new cherry coke or how to improve it they give Global Test Market a survey.  Every one that takes that survey they pay Global Test Market X number of dollars.  Global Test Market will share a little bit of that money with the survey taker.

These legit survey web sites know that to make more money they need more visitors.  The quickest and simplest way for them to get visitors is to turn to pay people to send them visitors.  I personally know from experience that for every person you send to Global Test Market that completes the signup process they will pay you .25 (You have to sign up as an affiliate with Commission Junction first)

What started to happen very quickly is that people wanting to make that .25 commission from Commission Junction (and the additional commissions from the other few legit survey sites) started to create their own fake survey sites.  These fake survey sites look just like a real survey site when you get there.

They have you fill out your name, address, etc. so you can ‘join’.  You click the submit button and you are taken to the ‘secret members area’ which lists the 9 or 10 legit paying survey companies like Global Test Market.  The person who has now joined the survey company signs up with the survey companies in the list and the web site owner makes a commission for every single survey site in the list the survey taker signs up with.

These fake survey sites then began to see how much money they can make this way and so they did the same thing the legit survey sites did.  They offered to pay people who send them members.  Why not?  At .50-.00 commission for every legit survey company their visitor signs up with and considering that most people will sign up with more than 1 legit survey offer the bogus survey web master could make some serious money.  And some do!

So now you have a whole new breed of people make fake survey sites to show the previously mentioned fake survey sites and in the mix of their giant list will actually be a few of the legit survey sites listed.

It is a big mish mash of lots of web masters making a lot of money and the survey takers?  Good luck if you even get dog crumbs.

How do I know so much about all this and how paid survey sites work? Because the I own the cash for surveys web site previously mentioned above and have been involved in the industry for a little while now.  If you go to my cash for surveys site any one of those ‘survey companies’ you join I get paid a commission of anywhere between .00-.00 depending on which survey site in the list you join.

So Which paid surveys ARE legit? Can I make money with paid surveys?

You CAN make money with paid surveys and you can make a lot of money as well. The catch is it is not free.  The good news however is that the small membership fee you have to pay to access to the REAL surveys if quite low compared to how much you can and will make.

It is called a survey membership site.  In exchange for your one time membership fee of around these survey membership sites round up all the real and legit survey offers for you and since they are a legit business that is being paid for their services all they do is find the good paying survey offers for its members. That is their full time job.

The cream of the crop when it comes to survey membership sites without a doubt is Classified Surveys.  There is a great site that is videos and photos inside the members area of Classified Surveys call more free info surveys.

Frankly I was and am quite impressed with what is inside.  There are more than 300 paid survey companies that you can join. These are the REAL survey sites.  No popups.  No asking you to sign up with trial offers to try to trick you into buying something. None of the BS commonly associated with survey sites.

Inside the Classified Surveys members area there is also 31 companies that really will pay you to drive your car!  The company will wrap your car with an ad from a major company like Geico for example and pay your several hundred dollars per month for it.  Some of these paid to drive companies will give you a free car to drive and use as you wish that is wrapped with an ad.

All in all in the Classified Surveys members area is:

317 real cash paying surveys
31 get to drive (or get a free car) companies
117 mystery shopper offers where you get to eat at your favorite restaurants free and shop at stores at the mall and keep the merchandise for free
109 get paid to read offers
57 make money for visiting web sites

And there is a really huge section of 1,500 different ways to make money from home.  The great thing about Classified Surveys is they are regularly updating their databases so the number of offers for surveys etc. is constantly growing by leaps and bounds.
