SurveyLot - How Paid Surveys Work - Easy as 1-2-3

Join SurveyLot for free and start earning cash and prizes with paid surveys! You just need to follow a few easy steps:

 Step 1.  Join SurveyLot.com for free to access free-to-join survey panels that are currently recruiting

Just fill out your Search Profile and Prefeneces and you'll get free access to SurveyLot.com. When you select your Preferences, we recommend that you opt in to receive survey invitations via email, so you can get invited to join private panels that are only available through email invitation and get informed when new survey panels get launched or 'full' panels start recruiting again. SurveyLot won't share your email or send you any spam, and you can opt out of receiving SurveyLot survey invitations at any time by simply clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of each email.

 Step 2.  Register with market research companies (survey panels) to start getting their paid surveys

Once you join SurveyLot.com, based on your search profile and preferences, you will be presented with a list of market research companies that are currently recruiting consumers matching your demographics who are willing to take part in paid surveys, focus groups, product test panels, and other opportunities. Some research panels are open for anyone to join and may recruit throughout the year. Other survey panels may "specialize" or based on their clients' needs at the time recruit only a strictly limited group of consumers at a given time (i.e. age teenagers, retirees, residents of a given state, women with children, etc). Furthermore, some market research companies may use only private recruitment (through links placed on a partner site, email invitations, or through referrals from existing panel members).

 Step 3.  Take paid surveys, participate in focus groups and product test panels to earn cash, rewards and free products

The market research companies (panels) you registered with will match your demographics (profile data) to the market research studies that they are currently conducting and will provide you with surveys to complete. Some panels may list the available surveys when you log in to your account, others may send you an invitation for each survey via email. Each survey invitation will state the rewards offered for completing the survey. Most companies pay panel participants anywhere from a few dollars per survey up to several hundred dollars to participate in research panels. Depending on the time and effort you invest, you could make good and easy money just for being yourself. Most surveys that you will receive would probably be in the $2 to $10 range, but some survey companies do offer surveys paying up to $50 and more. There are also surveys that offer you a chance to win a large sum of money. Focus groups could be even more appealing to join with compensation ranging from $40 to $200+ per focus group participation. However most of the time they are invitation-only and reserved for active survey panel members.

 Step 4.  Cash in the rewards you earned

Most survey panels pay panelists by check or by PayPal. There are also market research panels that offer gift cards or points redeemable for products from their rewards catalogs. Some companies send you a payment automatically after you complete a survey, others allow you to request a payment after you take a few surveys.
