paid survey

I received an email from a reader who had some questions after reading my post about SecretShopper.com.  For the benefit of other readers who may have the same questions, I’m posting the email and my reply:

I just recently applied to be a secret shopper on the same
website you did and I am debating whether it’s worth the while.  You
said that you only received $23 from the company, if they made you buy
something from the store did they pay for it? Also I am concerned
about the fact that i gave them my SSN, probably not a good idea.  If
you could email me back at your convenience I would really appreciate
it.  Thank you!

T.

Here’s my reply:

T,

I only received $23 from the SecretShopper.com, because I only completed one job for them.  When you sign up as a mystery shopper, you decide what jobs you will take – there is no minimum workload.

Most reputable sources caution that you won’t get rich filling out surveys online. There is no guarantee as to how many surveys you will qualify for or how much they will pay. However, if you have internet access, a little free time, and enjoy giving your opinion, it can be an easy way to make a little money on the side.

In the past few weeks, I’ve signed up for the following paid survey sites:

  • Greenfield Online
  • Lightspeed Consumer Panel

My wife is a member of:

  • SurveySavvy.com
  • NFO My Survey
  • American Consumer Opinion
  • Global Test Market

Greenfield Online and Lightspeed have sent more survey opportunities than anyone else, but I am not impressed with their rewards structure. Most of the surveys from Greenfield offered nothing more than a sweepstakes entry. A few more offered one or two dollars if the survey was completed (20-30 minutes), and I was once offered a seven dollar, 15 minute survey that I didn’t qualify for.
