The Advantages, Considerations and Risks of Employee Satisfaction Surveys

Although there are distinct advantages to conducting regular employee satisfaction surveys online - there can also be risks.

Listed here are some of the main advantages, considerations and the possible risks to conducting employee satisfaction surveys online.


Advantages

Identify Problems - Surveys are can be very effective in identify problems areas before they become serious, especially those that are hidden from senior management.

Working Environment - From something small like a broken chair to the more serious problem of sick building syndrome that can result in personnel experiencing headaches; eye, nose, and throat irritation; a dry cough; dry or itchy skin; dizziness and nausea; and difficulty in concentrating. Surveys allow environmental problems to be identified in a measured and controlled manner.

Remuneration & Benefits - Measure and monitor how satisfied personnel are with their remuneration and benefits.

Mood and Moral - Provides a simple but effective method to measure and monitor the mood and moral of an organization.

Benchmark - In the same way that an organization will consider their financial position by comparison with previous years, so the regular use of online surveys will allow an organization to monitor and measure their progress and development in non-financial terms.

Processes & Procedures - As businesses evolve some of the traditional processes and procedures can become antiquated, personnel are often the first to know and the last to be asked. Businesses evolve and the business processes need to be regularly re-aligned

Training - Lack of proper training is a common cause of dissatisfaction among employees and can lead to more serious problems such as stress.

Communication - For an organization to run efficiently good internal and external communications are essential, surveys can provide a method to help organizations to monitor and measure how well an organization communicates.

Goals and Objectives - Surveys can measure and monitor the extent that the personnel are aligned with the senior management's business goals and objectives.

Cost Effective - Using an online survey service such as www.surveygalaxy.com survey are quick and easy to create, simple to deploy and will provide real-time results.

Compliance - To properly comply with an ever increasing array of regulations the modern organization needs to be able to disseminate information throughout the organization and ensure, through records, that the information has been received, and importantly, understood. Online surveys provide organization with a cost effective method to meet many of their obligations.

Keeping the Initiative - It is always better for management to ask than be told. By conducting regular employee surveys management are able to keep the initiative in trying to identify problems that may otherwise manifest into demands.



Considerations

Management Backing - A survey that is both sanctioned and has the support of senior management will go some way in ensuring that any action required, based on the survey findings, will be implemented.

Ask the right questions - Consider careful the questions being asked. If employees feel that the survey is just trying to tick the right boxes the survey could backfire.

A survey that is to be conducted annually should try and ask questions that will provide senior management with an overall health check of the organization.

Avoid questions that will only apply to specific departments or personnel. If some areas of the organization require detailed investigation consider running separate one-off surveys that can be targeted at specific personnel.

Incentive - Most employees will feel that by being able to give their opinions that they are already stakeholders in the exercise and will be happy to participate in the survey as they will expect to benefit from the process.

However, some incentive may help improve the overall response rate or could be used to encourage early participation.

Smaller incentives could be handed out to all employees or all participating employees could be entered into a lottery to receive a more substantial prize.

Anonymous - The decision to allow respondents to remain anonymous or not needs careful consideration. A survey that is conducted anonymously may allow employees to be more candid, however, anonymity may encourage some individuals to make wild accusations that can not be substantiated and cause considerable concern. When in doubt it is often better to keep everything 'on the record' rather than 'off'.

Where survey respondents are known there is the opportunity to chase for surveys that have not been completed and also to follow up on some issues directly with those employees who have raised them as problems.

Comments - Keep free text comments to a minimum because they are difficult and time consuming to measure and analyze.

Consider limiting free text comments to one at the end of the survey or, in the case of surveys that are not being conducted anonymously, allow for a post-survey follow-up to obtain more information where additional and more specific detail is required.

Risks

Management - Some managers can regard any form of employee consultation as a sign of weakness and may have a tendency to dismiss out of hand any negative comment.

Warts and All - A survey is likely to reveal warts and all. Senior management should be prepared for discovering that the top down view can differ from the bottom up view and that ignorance, of any identified problems, can no longer be used as an excuse.

Non-Action - Many employees will invest time and effort in participating in a survey and their hopes and expectations will be raised. Any post-survey non-action is likely to promote cynicism and jeopardize any future initiatives to obtain employee feedback.

Management should formally respond to the issues raised in surveys even if the demands of employees are not to be met. If senior management agree to address and resolve some issues then action needs to have started before any further survey is scheduled.

Can Cause Problems - Where surveys reveal, or bring problems, to the surface there could be a tendency for senior management to blame the messenger.


Summary

The benefits of conducting regular online employee surveys can be considerable, but for surveys to be effective important upfront considerations need to be made. Although the process of conducting a survey can be therapeutic in itself it is the post-survey analysis, response and action that will ultimately determine how useful and effective the process has been.

How To Maximize Your Paid Survey Efforts

Copyright ? Robbie Fanucchi
http://www.RJFanucchi.com

There are a lot of home business experts who claim the Internet paid surveys trend is a giant scam. Unfortunately, they are right. Over 90 percent of the survey companies are nothing more than an attack on your pocket book. They ask for a fee up front and provide you with outdated contact lists, poor customer service and connections to companies that pay little or companies that use your survey as an opportunity to SPAM you with solicitations.

However, the paid survey field is no different than any other field of business. There are frauds and there are legitimate opportunities. With that said, there are several survey companies that provide a great opportunity to make money.

One such company is SurveyScout. Out of 25 reviewers, SurveyScout ranked #1 by 12 of the reviewers. SurveyPlatinum ranked #1 with 3 reviewers and GetCashForSurveys also received a #1 ranking with 3 of the reviewers.

Since SurveyScout came out on top, we contacted the administration to get some advice on how to make SurveyScout a success. Here are the six points they gave.

1. It takes a couple months to establish yourself with the higher paying surveys. Once you have established yourself as a reliable survey worker, your chances of getting the higher paying surveys increases. SurveyScout points to Deborah Casey as a perfect example of this. Deborah has reached a point where she makes $2600 a month off of surveys.

2. SurveyScout highly recommends setting up a separate e-mail account to handle all your survey related e-mails. This avoids your important survey opportunities from getting mixed up with your regular mail. You don't want to miss any important survey assignments. SurveyScout has suggestions on where to get free e-mail accounts.

3. The faster you can find registration pages and fill them out, the more survey companies you will have signed up for. They suggest becoming fast at locating registration pages.

4. SurveyScout definitely suggests using the free automatic form filling software they provide. By following the direct links to registration pages and using the auto form filling software, you can sign up for lots of companies fast. This will not only maximize your time, but your profits as well.

5. Don't waste your time filling out registrations for survey companies you don't qualify for. For example, many companies are looking for applicants from specific states or countries. SurveyScout says they help their members by clearly noting if a survey company has certain restrictions.

6. Make sure you pick only survey companies who pay cash. Many companies only pay in prizes or gift certificates. The catch is they don't tell you this upfront. SurveyScout says they clearly let their members know if the company pays in cash, cash and prizes or prizes only.

SurveyScout wanted to make sure we stress the different types of work they offer. They recommend determining which field interests you most and putting your focus there. The types of work available with SurveyScout are: discussion groups, focus groups, mall intercepts, mail surveys, mystery shopping, one on one interviews, on-line surveys, phone surveys, product testing and taste testing.

While there are a lot of frauds in the paid surveys category, there is still an opportunity to make good money. SurveyScout continues to rank #1 with home business experts more than any other company.

If you do your research first, getting paid for surveys is a great way to earn extra money from the comfort of your home.

 

Free or Fee-Based Paid Survey Sites - Which One Do I Choose?

You see them all of the time, "Get paid thousands to take a paid survey". Are they legitimate, do they really pay what they say the pay? Well, Yes and No. What I mean is that some of them pay you and some don't. You just have to find the right one. OK, so how does someone know if a paid survey website will pay or if they even have surveys to send me?

Paid Survey sites got their beginning, of course, with the development of the Internet. Before the Internet, many survey companies were conducting paid surveys in the mall. I am sure you have had people come up to you in the mall asking if you would take 5-10 minutes to fill out a survey and get paid a small amount of money. Well, those survey companies, just like other companies, saw the Internet as a powerful tool. Now they could get surveys out to thousands of people all over the world without paying employees or rent for space in the mall.

Thousands of Paid Survey websites started to pop up all over the Internet. Some had claims that you could make $10,000 a month to take surveys. Others were more realistic and let you know that you could make good money, you just had to work for it. You see, I hear a lot of people say they want to make a lot of money, but they don't want to put in the work. Could you make $10,000 a month taking paid surveys over the Internet? Maybe, but you would have to work 50-60 hours a week and sign up for many paid survey web sites. You would also have to take every survey sent to you.

Today, there are both paid survey sites that are Free and those that you pay to join. Which ones are best? It depends on your goals. If you want to get gift certificates and coupons, then go with the free paid survey sites, and if you want to make cash, then go with the ones you have to pay a fee to join.

Free Paid Survey Sites - These sites are free to join and have more than enough surveys to take. They usually offer small gift certificates or coupons to mane brand products. I would suggest these to you if you only have a few hours a month to do surveys.

Membership Fee Paid Survey Sites - These sites usually have a one-time fee of $34.95 to $79.95 and pay cash when you take surveys. Some surveys offer sweepstakes entries, but you can choose only the surveys that pay cash.

Why are some paid survey sites free and others require you to pay a fee? Well, that is a good question. Free paid survey sites charge the company that wants to submit a survey a fee. Because of this, most companies decide not to pay money (since they just paid a fee to the free survey web site), and instead pay in gift certificates and coupons. Gift certificates are just like cash, but only if you choose surveys that give you gift certificates to products you actually use. If you get a gift certificate to a company you don't need, they can be given as gifts or you just wasted your time.

On the other hand, the paid survey sites that charge you a fee do not charge the companies submitting a survey anything. Therefore, these sites usually have more surveys, and in addition, have more surveys that pay cash. I could see you earning a living on these sites, but only if you treat it like a job. That means you could make $25-$50 an hour, but you would have to put in 40 hours.

There you have it, Paid Survey sites are here to stay. If you want cash, pay the one-time fee and get to work. If you want gift certificates or coupons, sign up for the free sites. It is your choice. Happy Surveying!

The basics of paid surveys

Why do companies conduct surveys? To top it, why do companies pay for participating in a survey? This small write-up will help you understand the basics of survey and the paid form of surveys.

Survey is nothing but data or information collection. This information is processed to arrive at a useful conclusion. This useful conclusion may be in the form of new product or better customer service or larger distribution network. All of this is done to enhance customer satisfaction about a product. Surveys are essentially statistical in nature. The non-statistical approach to people's opinion is termed focus group interviews. Focus group interviews hover around qualitative aspects of people's opinion about a product. Surveys are conducted over a large number of people against very few in case of focus group interviews. Person participating in a survey is called respondent. Questions are asked her regarding her perception about a product. Surveys try to understand overall perception of the population based on the responses of the people surveyed. The group of people surveyed is called sample.

The findings from the sample are treated to be as though these have come from the whole population. For example, survey about new features in a car will have only couple of thousands of respondents across the country. However, the aggregate response from these couple of thousand of people will be treated as if it had come from the whole car owners' population in the country.

Surveys are conducted in various ways - paper, email, snail mail, telephone and online. While each has its own set of pro's and con's, paper surveys have been most popular in the past. With so many surveys being conducted by as many companies, participants have started losing interest and involvement in the process. This has offered the impetus to online surveys where people can fill the questionnaire in their leisure time, and can even think of skipping some. There is no obligation and necessity to complete the surveys. The large number of surveys has discouraged people from participating in surveys. This reason alone has resulted into offering incentives to people to participate in surveys. This is where the story of paid surveys start. paid surveys are voluntary in nature - you need not take part in each and every survey. If you qualify, you are paid for taking part. This is a win-win situation for all the three - participant, research agency and the company for whom survey is being conducted.

Make Money Online With Paid Survey

How would you like to sit in your comfortable home and make $25.00 every eight minutes whenever you are available, no hustle to office plus stay with your kids? Sound good? Well, getting paid to take surveys will do that for you. Paid Surveys are usually conducted via the Internet or over the phone. Market Research Companies need your opinion. They are paying thousands of dollars every day to people like you. You may receive up to $150 or receive other prizes for your participation. The payment varies from company to company. Some will pay you cash, others will give you a chance to win some money or offer you different incentives, such as gift or merchandise.

Mention to paid survey, we will meet two different terms "Survey Company" or "Survey Agency". The real survey companies are market research companies. The survey agencies are those who just supply you information to get money. In other words, what is "free paid survey" and what is "paid survey"?

Compared to free paid survey, these paid survey companies (agencies) will charge you a member fee. You may think it is useless to sign up in your original idea but you just know a half of the fact. To sign up one or more paid survey is necessary for you to improve your extra money and will save lots of your time. To sign up one or more is necessary but which one to sign up is another question you should make your decision.

Compared to paid survey, free paid survey is totally got paid with no fee. The advantage is obvious. But you have to find free survey companies (websites) one by one and do not know whether the company is proven one.

We just have done some research for you. Click Here to see the reviews for paid survey and free paid survey.

In my opinion, if you only want to make extra money, say $100 to $500 a month, you can only pick up some free paid surveys. I reviewed ten and you may need to expand some. Otherwise, I have to say, it is necessary for you to sign up one or more paid surveys. Your service deserve you money. You can enter their useful database to save your time and get start at once. However, you can pick up survey companies one by one too. It's up to you.

The following will give you a good starting point: 1. Compare. Don't expect things to be as easy as you told because the ad looked good when you signed up. Remember no pain no gain. 2. Update your information. Take part in survey as soon as possible. Remember, there are quantity limitations. Paid surveys gather information from only a portion of a population of interest -- the size of the sample depending on the purpose of the study. 3. Create a separate Email account just for survey business, and make sure that you turn off all of the spam filters for this account. Often, surveys will trigger a spam filter, and you will never even know that someone wanted you to take part.

Are Paid Surveys For Real?

Do you prefer Frosted Flakes or Raisin Bran? What kind of car do you think you'll buy next? Can you name 10 brands of beer?

If you think it might be fun to answer questions like the ones above, you're a good candidate to take paid surveys.

While some people still find it hard to believe, it's absolutely true that companies are willing to pay you to take surveys. Why? It's simple; your opinions matter.

For example, before a company releases (or even makes) a product, they need to know if it's a good idea. After all, they don't want to incur the huge costs of creating and marketing something that won't sell. So they hire a market research company to survey people (like you) and find out what they think.

Similarly, some companies just want to identify trends or discover ways of improving existing products. Do you prefer their product or one of their competitor's? Why? Is it cost? Is it quality? Something else? If you could change their product to make it better, what would you tweak? All of that information is incredibly valuable to a company. And they're willing to pay for it.

That's where you come in.

All you need to do is join a market research panel. The more panels you join, the more paid surveys you'll get. The good news: there are a lot of panels online and they're all free to join. The bad news: there are a lot of panels online.

Finding the best companies to join is difficult. But you have a few options.

1) Do it yourself.

You can search online for market research companies, ask friends who may have experience taking paid surveys, etc. This can be pretty time consuming. Another difficulty may be trying to decipher which market research companies send frequent surveys or which ones pay the most. Why take the time to join a company if they're defunct, rarely send surveys, or pay minuscule amounts for your time? You'll either never receive any paid surveys or those that you do get won't be worth taking.

2) Pay a web site.

There are many web sites which claim to have extensive lists of companies that will pay to take surveys. Most of these sites charge people $35 - $50 to gain access to their list. If you go this route, make sure the list only contains active companies (so you don't waste time on companies that no longer exist) and gives details about which ones are the best to join. It's also a good idea to verify the site offers a money-back satisfaction guarantee. If you're not happy with the list or promises of riches that never materialize (some of the sites make pretty lofty claims about possible income), don't be shy about asking for a refund.

3) Visit a free web site.

If you don't want to shell out the cash, finding a web site that offers a list for free is your best option. You probably won't find a list as large as the pay sites offer but you should be able to discover at least a dozen quality companies worth joining. For most people, that's more than enough to keep them busy.

Whatever path you take on your way to becoming a paid survey expert, it's important to remember one thing: taking paid surveys is a hobby, not a job. Keep that in mind and you'll always enjoy it.

How Do You Get with Paid Survey Program

Here's how paid survey programs work - When a company has a new product or service for which consumer research is required, a specialist marketing company is commissioned to select participants, issue online paid surveys and analyze their feedback. This feedback, typically in the form of online paid surveys is presented back to the company enabling them to gauge consumer opinion and pinpoint areas for improvement. The best way to access these companies is to subscribe to an Internet Online Survey Database which does all work for you. For a small fee (refundable if you discover paid surveys are not for you) you are given a members user name and password, which connects you to an inventory of active marketing companies that offer will pay you for completing surveys online or participating in online focus groups.

Online Paid Surveys allows you to be invited to participate in online surveys for cash, where you will get paid for surveys, receiving cash and other rewards for taking part. And you can even select the time to complete the online Paid Survey.

Participating in Focus Groups involves collecting opinions in a group format - either in person, online or on the phone - rather than by paid surveys online. These require more effort on your part, but the cash payments are much higher.

In addition to paid surveys and focus groups, you will get the chance to take part in other types of research including watching movie trailers or trying out new products before they are launched.

To get started all you will need is Internet access and an email address. Once registered you will get access to the members area which provides the inventory of marketing companies that are looking for people like you to complete online paid surveys, participate in focus groups, review movie trailors, get paid to shop, get paid to drive your car and test new products.

Why Online Paid Surveys Work?

Hundreds of web surfers these days are subscribing to paid survey websites. Many of these are also making a few handy dollars every week or month. Paid Survey is now a big business and is getting bigger every day. So why would a company pay these dollars to the web surfers? Obvious they are getting money from somewhere. Paid Survey website owners are certainly not doing charity. So then by which way do these site owners pay their staff, pay the site members and still make a handsome profit. Lets try to demystify the mystery, which surrounds this business.

Paid Survey sites are primarily of two types - 1. Paid Survey site database 2. The actual Paid Survey site

The first type in itself does not conduct surveys. They are merely directories of the Paid Survey sites. Most of them would have links which when clicked, takes user to the actual paid survey pages of a different site. They make money by two ways; first is they get paid for keeping the reference and links to the actual Paid Survey site owners and secondly some of them charge a registration fee to access their directories. Hence if you are paying to register to these directories, remember that they are not going to pay you anything. They would simply help you to find and navigate to the actual Paid Survey sites. Ideally, if you are a new Pair Survey worker then you should start with searching Paid Survey sites on your own through one of the search engines or register at a free Paid Survey site directory.

The actual Paid Survey sites host surveys on various topics. They could be conducting survey on some newly launched product or an advertising promotion. Most of the times the surveys are carried out for some manufacturing or service company. They often want to know their customer preferences and behavior. The Paid Survey site does the job for them and gets paid in return. Some site owners also help the consumer companies in analyzing the data and generate statistical reports. Some of the returns they pass on to the survey takers. Some dubious survey site owners pass on their member contact information to other companies. These companies then send mail promoting their products. This is one of the channel by which spam reaches your mailbox. Well known Paid Survey sites also make money by advertising others products or services. Quiet a few Paid Survey sites, this days charge a small registration fee for the new members joining the site to take surveys. This too adds to their revenues.

All the above ensures that both the Paid Survey Directory sites and the actual Paid Survey sites thrive on the Wonderland of Internet.

How Online Surveys Can Make You Money?

Have you heard of the websites that offer payment in lieu of taking online surveys? Yes this is true. Anyone who has recently browsed the avenues of work-at-home jobs must have seen such alluring ads. It must have made you wonder? how online surveys can make you money. I am here to explain you all that. So, keep reading.

In fact, the online surveys include the whole process that claims to help people to earn money. For that, first you need to register with the website and then file out for consumer surveys. Whether you can earn money out of them or not, is altogether a different story.

The Internet these days is full of such websites that offer to pay their visitors for filling the surveys. As you register on the website, they ask you to fill out a questionnaire that lists your individual ?consumer preferences? and ?interests?. Once you are through with it, you will be requested to wait till they make contact with you for the apt survey.

Do companies actually pay money to know your favorite brand of dog biscuits or how much time you spend viewing a particular television programme? According to the grapevine however, the money doesn?t come to you always. The company that seeks for consumer information will directly pay the survey company
, who will pile up the survey details and statistics. A very little amount out of it, if it is any thing, is transferred to the persons who had filled out the online surveys.

If you seriously want to make money through online surveys, you really need to invest your time and money to search for the companies who actually pay money. The legitimate online surveys from genuine companies take quite a long time. They make you think and then give valid answers to fill out the form. The companies do advertise boastfully, but most of them actually end up not paying.

There will also be some companies who will offer you points for incurring their online surveys. You can save up these points for the exchange of money. Imagine the little mouse of your computer could be worth more than 500 points! But the reality of the situation is also that you may get just two to three points per survey.

Some companies enter the survey fillers in a drawing after they complete the survey. The chances of anyone winning these drawings enough number of times or earning part time or full time income are actually very slim. If you will spend your worthy hours filling the online surveys and get a little sum of money as compensation, do you think it is fair?

In your search for the genuine companies, beware of those companies who may require you to give money to get a list of the online survey websites who really pay. If any website asks you for money to let you take online surveys, it can instantly be considered as a scam. You must avoid such sites at all the costs.

Online surveys can get you fun and money both but only when they are genuine. If you consider the online surveys as a source of good income or employment, honey better get a career switch!

Don't Pay Online Free Paid Surveys, Make Online Survey Pay You!

Free Paid Surveys

Would you like to find a way to turn your free time into an extra source of income? Did you know that you could make from ten to one hundred fifty dollars an hour by simply sharing your opinion through surveys and market research? Everyday, new products and services are entering the marketplace. And before a company will spend billions of dollars on marketing, its owners need to know how much demand there is for their product and what people think of what they are trying to sell. These companies will pay good money to learn your opinion about their products and services. As a survey taker you can make several hundred to several thousand dollars a month working from home and setting your own hours.

Working on free paid surveys is fun easy work that lets you set your own hours and pace. You may choose to work for thirty minutes before you go to bed each night. Or you may decide to work on your surveys while you are waiting for your kids to come home from school in the afternoons. You may even decide to take a few weeks off from survey taking altogether. In any case, working on free paid surveys allows you to be your own boss in deciding how much work you want to do and how much money you want to make.

There are several websites out there that offer access to paid surveys from marketing companies. Some may ask you to sign up and pay an initiation or enrollment fee to have access to these surveys. But don?t get scammed into paying a fee to work on paid surveys. Businesses are looking for the opinions of average individuals, not just those with money to spare on application fees.

Free Paid Survey Spotlight - Survey Savvy

Survey Savvy is one of the most highly promoted paid online survey sites out there. This is primarily because of their fantastic referral program, which, unlike other paid survey sites, offers recurring payment for those you recruit. Although their referral program is a very nice bonus, it is by far not the only reason why Survey Savvy stands above the crowd. Over the years Survey Savvy has proven itself to be a very solid paid online survey site, even for those of you who do not want to recruit your friends. Their overall commitment, to not only their clients, but to their survey respondents as well, makes them stand out above the crowd.

First, a little background information. Survey Savvy is owned and operated by Luth Research, a market research leader since 1977. To date, they have paid out more money to their members than any other market research company. They are also a member of the BBBOnLine? Privacy Program, participate in the TRUSTe Privacy Program and also conform to numerous survey and market research organizations. All of which are important when submitting your personal information to any online survey company. Survey Savvy accepts survey respondents from around the globe and currently has participants from 190 countries worldwide.

Survey Savvy's website also sets them a notch above the rest. Once you sign up, you'll be able to login and check any number of things. When you first sign up you'll want to take their "profile enhancers". These surveys tell Survey Savvy more about you, which helps them match you up to relevant surveys, as well as, increasing your chances of receiving surveys from them. You'll also be able to change your sign up information if you need to, view your earnings, see your referral count and cash out. Any surveys that are available to you will also be listed here. You'll also have access to a great online help database, which can answer almost any question.

Survey Savvy pays strictly in cash for participation in their online surveys. Any cash received will be deposited into an online "account" which can be accessed through their website with your username and password. There is no minimum or maximum amount that you need to have in order to "cash out". Once you cash out, you'll receive a check in the mail, their website say to allow 3-4 weeks, but I usually receive payment within 2 weeks. When you receive a survey, you will first be asked a few qualifying questions. If you do not qualify for the rest of the survey, you will be entered into a monthly prize drawing for 50, $10 prizes. Payment amounts can range anywhere from a couple of bucks to $15 or more depending on the survey. These amounts seem to be slightly higher than other paid online survey sites vs. the time spent per survey. I have never had a problem receiving credit for a survey I have taken with them, nor have I ever had a problem with getting my check in a timely fashion. In fact, it's been my experience that I receive payment faster through Survey Savvy than most of the other sites that I participate in. A little reminder here: Don't forget to login from time to time and check your account balance and cash out. You'll not receive payment unless you do.

The online surveys from Survey Savvy have always proven to be interesting and flawless. Surveys are well thought out and flow very nicely from question to question. Technically, surveys go off without a hitch, no glitches, and no problems. Generally I receive around 4 or 5 survey invitations per month, of course this will vary based on your demographic information. Surveys will vary on any number of topics, anything you can imagine really. As of late, they have had a bit of a focus on technology based surveys. So if you're a techie, you should really make out. If not, don't worry; there are plenty of other interesting topics for you to voice your opinion on.

Now let's get into that referral program. Survey Savvy has, by far the best referral program of any other paid online survey site that I am aware of. Where other paid survey sites may offer a referral program which credits you in one way or another, once (when that person signs up), Survey Savvy credits your account every time that one of your referrals take a survey. Not only that, but they also credit your account whenever one of their referrals takes a survey. Every time that one of your referrals completes a survey, your account will be credited with $2, and every time one of their referrals takes a survey, you will be credited with $1. Over time this can certainly add up. Now, don't get delusional here thinking that you can get rich by getting all of your friends to sign up. You can however, make a good deal extra simply by spreading the word. You can access all the tools you need to refer you friends through their website.

All in all, Survey Savvy has proven over the years to be a very solid paid online survey site, definitely a step ahead of many others. If you are interested in taking paid online surveys, you should consider this a "must join".

Why Great Companies Survey: Martian Logic!

 If an alien civilization from Mars was planning a friendly takeover of our planet they would seek to make sure they understood our way of life and our way of thought.

The only way they could accomplish their objective would be by asking questions which they could genuinely understand and then plan a strategy accordingly. Although this idea may seem outlandish, in my humble opinion, it is also what separates the great companies on our planet from the Wannabe's.

The greatest RISK in marketing lies in dealing with OPINION instead of fact. Stated another way, risk and the threat of loss is rooted in the idea that you think you already know the answer.

In my 25+ years in sales and marketing I have learned one very powerful truth that distinguishes the superstars from the amateurs. The great salespeople and marketers understand the power that lays within questions. The amateurs think they know all of the answers. Show me a great salesperson and I will show you an individual who knows and understand the power of questions. Show me a poor salesperson and I will show you an individual who has yet to understand that fact. Show me a great company and I will hypothesize that they have an incredible dialogue established with their customers.

How about you? Do you feel you know the answers to your customers most pressing problems, or are you genuinely in communication with them and listening to what they say?

I have seen salespeople blossom into superstars when they learned to ask questions. Likewise, I have seen companies turn from run of the mill endeavors to powerful marketing machines when they too learned to harvest the information from the questions which they ask. Questions are the only tools that permit us to genuinely understand problems our customers have. Questions are also the vehicles we use to establish our focus to resolve those problems. Stated another way, questions are a goldmine of valuable market information. The answers to the questions within surveys provide a roadmap for fulfilling our customers most pressing needs and desires.

We have a huge investment in what we have come to know. However, what we have come to know often has nothing to do with what we need to know to be successful. This is one of the key reasons why surveying of our customers is so important. A good survey will eliminate opinion and establish some factual evidence. Also, we are often so indoctrinated with what we think we know that we cannot see what "is" occurring. This is the main reason we survey.

There have been thousands and thousands of books written on the importance of surveying. I will attempt to summarize the best ones here with a one simple acronym which I created.

S Successfully

U Understanding

R Relevant

V Values

E Enhances

Y Yield

A survey gives us the opportunity to understand and take that understanding and apply it to creating a higher return on our investment. When we successfully understand our customers relevant values we can then create the solutions that will permit us to enhance our yield. A good survey allows us to be in communication with our marketplace.

The great companies have learned that customers will not tell you how you are doing unless you ask them. Asking your customers about what they like and want offers the best information to learn from mistakes and cultivate unique opportunities.

Great companies survey. Wannabes think they already know. Want to succeed in a big way, all you have to do is ASK... then shut up long enough to recognize that the answer that is coming at you has "GOLDMINE" written all over it!

Be careful what you agree with!

Why I'll Never Make Millions Of Dollars On The Internet...Adam Buhler Don't get me wrong, I make a decent living online. I have a passion for what I do, and my hard work has paid respectable dividends, both to me, and to my visitors.

The sad part is that what got me interested in making a living online just so happened to be the same empty promises, and the same "Get Rich Quick" hype countless crooked businesses and individuals use each and every day to lure in average, everyday people, looking for a legitimate way to earn a respectable living from the Internet.

These shady people make millions. I got lucky. Instead of "selling the farm" and dumping a boatload of money into the first deception I saw, I did a little homework. While a part of me wanted to reach for my wallet and become the next Internet success story, my common sense saved the day and urged me to explore my options first.

What happens to those who fall victim to these scams? The exact opposite of what they had hoped to accomplish. Instead of building a steady source of income, they use the funds that could have been directed at starting a legitimate business, and invest them into the false promises of Instant Internet Millions.

A lie, combined with something people want so badly, becomes a cruel and frighteningly powerful weapon.

I never was a good liar. Which brings me back to the reason I'm writing this article.

It doesn't matter that I publish a newsletter with information I've used to grow my business online, as well as listing legitimate resources that can be used to take some of the guesswork out of earning a living on the Internet.

I personally follow-up on every program submitted to my affiliate programs directory, by visiting the site personally, I can ensure that it holds value to my visitors. There is nothing more detrimental to your success online than recommending low value products and services.

I own a good percentage of the products I recommend myself. This helps me give a better description of a product's benefits, drastically reducing the number of lost affiliate commissions due to product returns from customers who had the impression they were buying a product beneficial to their business.

Bringing traffic to your web site is one of the largest challenges any Internet business will face. I experiment with what I know to work as well as what does not. Membership sites are a great way to reduce the amount of time spent on finding effective methods to grow your business. I belong to quite a few, yet I recommend only the three I feel offer a service that justifies the monthly fee.

By gaining membership to the good and the bad, I can avoid recommending a service that will jeopardize my credibility and eliminate future sales.

It's easy to offer your visitors a quality service and collect a check, but I place as much emphasis on pointing out programs that don't deliver the results they promise as well. It's important to keep your visitor's best interests in mind.

My web site has a list of the ten programs that have made me the most money on the Internet. This way, my visitors have an idea of what programs are capable of producing the best results. And if compatible with their business, maybe this will save them the time I spent searching for high-quality programs to promote.

I can't promise anyone success. What I can do is show them how I found mine.

For all of these reasons, I'll continue to make a good living on the Internet. These are also the painfully obvious reasons why I'll never make millions of dollars in the process.

My inability to exaggerate the benefits of my products, or sell my visitors a dream I couldn't possibly deliver, will ultimately keep my feet planted firmly on the ground. Right where I want them.
