Paid Survey Review - How To Read A Survey Review by Dean Caporella

One of the most important considerations when reading a paid survey review is whether the author has a vested interest.
By this we mean is the author "pushing his/her own barrow" and likely to gain financially by recommending a particular survey.

This type of paid survey review is very shallow and you need to be wary. If it's a well balanced review highlighting a good mix of both pros and cons, then you can assume it's a legitimate review with the reader's interests at heart.

Paid Survey Forums

These are a great way to get a wide cross section of reviews for paid surveys. One thing with a paid survey review from a forum is you get an emotional aspect to it.

Emotional in the sense if the member has had either a good or bad experience with a survey company then they are going to express their views honestly. This is very much in your favor because if a particualr survey gets a bad review and you've been considering it then you've saved yourself time, money and frustration.

Before making up your own mind though, stay with a particular thread because if one person has had a bad experience keep an eye on the responses to see whether the claims are backed by others.

Very often, there will be comments supporting the survey in question . Your job is to decide from the reviews given whether it's worth pursuing it. In most instances, it's not.

Top Survey Companies

Looking for the best paid survey opportunities is as easy as sticking with the better known companies in the initial stages such as Greenfield Online.

Cut down your chances of being scammed or having your personal information used against you such as in being bombarded with spam messages. This is a tactic which has affected many people and usually, it's the motive for getting you to sign.

To avoid this problem, read the site's claims about sharing your information. If it's not there, then give it a miss. If it's there but you feel the point is only made hapzardly then again, give it a wide berth. Look for a strong statement in bold print.
