Branded Surveys Earning Guide

How to Start Earning on Branded Surveys

If you're brand new to Branded Surveys, here's the optimal way to get started:

Step 1. Create an Account

First, before signing up for Branded Surveys, make sure you meet the requirements:

Next, go here to create your account. When creating an account, you can choose to link it to your Facebook account (if you have one) or just use an email. We recommend signing up via email and using a survey-specific email.

Why?

Because survey sites send an insane amount of emails.

These are usually pretty helpful at matching you to surveys, but will also completely take over your inbox. You’ll end up losing any important emails. So make sure to either make a new email to sign up or use an email address that you don’t use that often.

Step 2. Fill out survey profiles

This is the best thing to do once you sign up, as it’ll provide the site with data to match you to the correct surveys, as well as give you a bit of a boost for your first payout.

You can access these profile surveys by clicking on “preferences” on the left sidebar, then clicking on “My Profile”.

As you can see, all the profile surveys are all filled out in the image above. When you first start, you’ll be able to earn 5-10 points ($0.05-$0.10) per profile survey. Not a bad start.

If you don't see a profile page option, check your dashboard. Profile surveys occasionally appear under the “Extra Earning Opportunities” section:

Step 3. Start earning

And that’s all there is to it! You're now ready to start earning. Here are the opportunities available:

5 Ways to Make Money on Branded Surveys

1. Surveys

Taking surveys is the main way to make money on Branded Surveys (kind of obvious since it's literally in the name).

The pay rate for surveys on Branded Surveys seems to range from around $0.10 to as high as $3.

Just like any other survey site, there's a chance of getting disqualified part way through a survey, which can be pretty annoying. Some users have reported that the platform pays a small disqualification payment though, so that lessens the blow a bit.

2. Polls

Branded Surveys also offers daily polls:

Poll taking is similar to survey taking, but instead of being long and tedious, polls are quick and easy. They're one question long with a multiple choice answer.

The catch? Polls don't pay a lot. Each one pays 5 points. Still, 5 points per day for a year adds up to 1,825 points. And with each point being worth $0.01 (at the time of writing), that's $18.25 per year. Not bad for a quick click a day!

Plus, this small point bonus can be nice on days when your surveys aren't going well.

3. Leaderboards

As you complete surveys on Branded Surveys (polls don't count), you'll rank up on the leaderboards. There are daily, weekly, and monthly leaderboards.

Placing in the top 10 of these leaderboards gives you the chance to earn up to 300 bonus points.

• If you're in the top 50 earners for the daily leaderboard, you'll earn 50 bonus points.
• If you're in the top 50 earners for the weekly leaderboard, you'll earn 50 bonus points.
• If you're in the top 20 earners for the monthly leaderboard, you'll earn 300 bonus points.

4. Random winner sweepstakes

By simply being active on Branded Surveys, you also have the chance of being chosen as a random winner.

Branded Surveys gives out 50 points to daily winners, 500 points to weekly winners, and 1,000 points to a lucky monthly winner.

Best of all, you don't have to be high up in the leaderboards to be chosen for a random prize! As long as you're active, you'll be entered to win.

5. Referrals

Surveys and polls are the main way to earn money on Branded Surveys. But, if you have a big network, referrals can be the most lucrative way.

By sending your unique referral link to friends, you can earn up to 50 points per friend. In order to qualify though, referred friends need to earn a Silver Badge on Branded Elite. That requires them to do 10+ surveys in a single month.

Branded Surveys Tips and Tricks to Earn More Money

Ok, now that you know how to make money on Branded Surveys, let's look at some tips to help you earn more in less time.

1. Pay attention to the pre-survey screen

When you start a survey you’ll see the following screen:

Make sure to note what made you qualify for the survey and which profiling questions they are using to match you with it. This can help give you a hint of what the survey might require so that you can respond appropriately.

2. Check the partner and premium surveys

If nothing in the Survey Spotlight catches your fancy, try checking out the partner surveys and premium surveys:

These usually provide just as many, if not more points, and you can end up getting 2 or 3 surveys in a row that all add up.

3. Level up in the Branded Elite program

This one's pretty obvious but easy to overlook. Be sure to keep an eye on the number of surveys you've completed in a given month. If you're only 1 survey away from the gold rank and it's near the end of the month, it might be worthwhile to grind it out a bit to get there.

The perks of higher ranks can be quite good:

4. Watch the leaderboards

As mentioned above, there are daily, weekly, and monthly leaderboards. The top 10 on each leaderboard wins bonus points, so if you're on the edge, try to grind it out and get there!

You can see exactly how many points you need to get to position #10.

Customize your email notifications

You can make customizations to your email notifications by going to “Preferences -> Email Preferences”.

Try playing with each option to see what works best.

This can also help you lessen some spam. For example, if you don't have access to Branded Surveys during your workday, you can choose to not receive survey invites during that time.
