Paid Survey FAQs
What Are Paid Surveys?
Paid surveys are a tool that researchers use to better understand people. Most often, paid surveys are used to conduct market research on consumers. For example, a researcher for Coca-Cola might pay soda-drinking survey takers to give feedback on a new drink idea.
How Do Paid Surveys Work?
Most paid surveys consist of a range of multiple-choice questions, with occasional short written answers. By answering these questions carefully, honestly, and accurately, you'll get paid for your time. Survey lengths can vary greatly, with some being a short minute or two long and others being over an hour long.
