Get
Organised
The number one piece of advice is to get yourself organised. This means
setting up a system that allows you to access your emails,
complete surveys quickly and efficiently, and cover the tasks required to get your
rewards. I set aside some time each day to do the rounds of checking for
survey and reward emails from marketing companies and I visit each web
site periodically to pick up free reward points, and
other freebies. |

Make it
easy to get paid
Set up a
PAYPAL
account as sometimes it is easier for companies to pay
you this way. Work out your nominated bank account. I like to get funds
deposited into the same account so that I know when I have been paid. A
high interest deposit account is great for this,
Here is a list of
high interest savings accounts. |

Join the
Best Programs
Not all programs are created equal. It makes sense to join the best ones first,
so see my
list of recommendations. I would start with the top 5. |

Set up Bookmarks
In Internet Explorer I have set up bookmarks to all the best programs so
that I can visit them quickly and easily. This helps remind me to visit
them regularly.

Completing Your
Profile is Important
Market research companies receive their jobs from businesses that want
to do product research based on a set of customer criteria. When they
put together the list of survey recipients they will match the clients
request against what is recorded in your profile. So make sure you
complete the user profile section. (remember to answer truthfully - you
are actually interested in everything aren't you?) |

More than One Account -
Get Maximum
Gain
More than one person in your household? make sure
they all join you'll get more surveys that way and earn
more rewards. Its a good idea to ask them first though!
and make sure its legit, because most survey panels will
boot you if they find you are operating more than one
account... |

Target Your
Rewards
If the reward that is offered is a catalogue of products, make sure you
work out which one you want so that you can build up your points to get
it. |

Survey Screening - Making
it through the filtering questions
Most surveys that you will receive will
ask you a few qualifying questions to begin with. If
your answers don't fit the profile they are looking for
they will "screen" you out of the survey so you won't
get any reward. My advice, you
should always give truthful answers, but if it's a
survey about beer, its not wise to say your a tee-totaller...if
you know what I mean. |
