The simple answer to the question posed in the title of this article is yes. However, as with most subjects these days, there is more to it than meets the eye. It is true that many, many companies in this country are looking for positive feedback from consumers that will help direct their marketing efforts in the future. One of the best ways to obtain that feedback is to go directly to consumers to get their opinions.

Every year, American companies spend billions of dollars advertising and marketing their products. Because of the tremendous expenditure involved, it is wise for these companies to use a device such as paid surveys to fine tune their ad campaigns to make the best use of their advertising budgets.

This is where you come in. Companies will pay you for your opinion when you fill out surveys. The amount of compensation varies widely and sometime, there is no monetary compensation. Many companies reward paid survey participants with, among other things, coupons, a free gift, a sample of the product being researched or a free entry into a sweepstakes. So you must be aware that you aren’t always going to raking in cash from paid surveys.

Nonetheless, thousands of consumers all over the country are participating in paid surveys every day and many are making some decent money doing so. You can get in depth information on the entire subject by getting my free report through the link in my resource box below. The report will cover the subject completely and give you the information you need to decide if completing paid surveys is something you want to do.

Certainly, the field is extensive enough to offer opportunities to many thousands of participants. The number of companies conducting paid surveys numbers in the thousands.

On the positive side, you are your own boss, working when you want and as much or as little as you want. On the negative side, you could be compensated with something you really don’t want or need. It is up to you to select those companies with whom you wish to work with great care, applying only for those jobs that offer compensation that you judge as fair and worth your time.

On a personal level, I can tell you that my wife absolutely loves doing these surveys. Barely a day goes by that she isn’t doing at least one and sometimes two, three and four. Her compensation has run the gamut from hard cash in amounts from five dollars up to over a hundred dollars, to a wide variety of merchandise. She has received restaurant coupons, apparel coupons and many very useful kitchen aids. She has also received a very large amount of cosmetics and toiletries.

Although some of the surveys she’s completed were disappointing to her, by and large she has enjoyed and continues to enjoy the experience, and most of those that she has participated in have been well worth her while.
