Frequently asked Questions - III

There are number of websites which claim that you can earn money at home. We have studied most of them. SurveyScot is among one of these sites. Here we are presenting FAQ from SurveyScot  in their own words just for your information.

Note : At present Neither we are an affiliate member of SurveyScot and any other such web sites nor we are going to suggest any of them. We advise all of you to study the FAQ of SurveyScot and decide yourself whether to become a member or not. If you found that their claims are true then please be informed us too.

1. Are you a survey company? What exactly does SurveyScout do?

No, we are not a survey or market research company. What we do is provide you with access to our database that lists hundreds of the best paid survey companies and opportunities - updated regularly. This includes links directly to their online registration forms.

But that's not all. We have a lot of experience and in our "Intro" guide we also provide tips, tricks and strategies to help you make more money and ensure you get off to a fast start, PLUS special software that will help you to fill out your surveys up to 300% faster!

Basically we provide everything you need to take advantage of paid survey opportunities!

2. How do I know SurveyScout is legitimate and this isn't some scam?

We could list all sorts of reasons, but there would be no easy way for you to verify most of what we said - so we won't even bother mentioning them. Some people even ask to contact our existing customers, but our strict privacy policy prohibits disclosing that type of information.

If you're really curious, go to Google and search the web for the term "SurveyScout" - you'll find 100s if not 1000s of other websites that highly recommend our site and our service.

We are also one of the most highly-rated sites at ClickBank - one of the Internet's largest payment processors. We are consistently ranked as one of the Top 5 websites in the highly-competitive "Money & Employment" category. No "scam" could achieve that!

There is one thing that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that this isn't a "scam" ...

... The fact that we use ClickBank.com and PayPal.com to process our orders - quite possibly the Internet's largest and most prestigious payment processors.

To make a long story short, these huge companies (PayPal.com is owned by eBay!) only process orders for legitimate websites - not fly-by-night companies and rip-off artists.

If we didn't provide a valuable service for a fair price, provide great customer service, honor refund requests (very rare!), etc. then the Internet's two largest payment processors would not continue to process our orders. They have very strict rules about that "stuff".

Think about it ... It's not like we're asking you to send cash to a P.O. Box or something. Now THAT would be indicative of a "scam", and you should never do that.

You want to know the bottom line - something that most merchants won't tell you? If you were not satisfied with SurveyScout and we refused to issue a refund, all you would have to do is contact the payment processor directly and they would issue a refund automatically.

It really is as simple as that. This is no scam, and you have nothing to lose.

3. How is SurveyScout different from other similar membership sites?

While there are other sites that appear similar to SurveyScout, we aren't aware of any that offer the same level of services that we do. The two main differences between SurveyScout and "other" sites is our exclusive database, and our friendly customer support.

Truthfully, the reason we started SurveyScout is because we couldn't find another source of quality "paid survey" opportunities anywhere. Believe it or not, most other websites share the same list - including tons of dead links, companies that no longer do surveys, etc.

On the other hand, we only list the best paying opportunities, and we update our database regularly. In fact, we have someone whose only job is to scout out quality "get paid for your opinion" programs, check them out, and keep our database up to date. You'll be impressed!

Aside from our database, we're also known for our great customer support. While most other sites won't even reply to your email, we provide a prompt and personal reply to every inquiry we receive, whether you're an existing member or not. Usually within a few hours.

If you're interested in getting paid for your opinions, SurveyScout is the only site you need to join. Between our up-to-date database, tips, tricks and strategies in our members-only site, and great customer support, you'll have everything you need to cash in on surveys!

 
4. Exactly how many survey companies are listed in your database?

At the moment you loaded this webpage there were exactly 504 companies in our dynamic database - more than enough to keep you busy for as long as you want. We link you directly to their websites so you can register with the ones you like and get started right away.

However, we're always on the lookout for additional opportunities for our members to get paid for their opinions, so this number will slowly grow over time.  

5. How many pay in cash vs. free products, points, or sweepstakes?

At this time, 27% of the market research companies in our database pay only in cash.

A few of these pay in gift certificates to places like Amazon.com, Target, Walmart, etc. which we consider to be the same as cash since you can buy things there you would buy anyway. Let's face it, a $50 gift certificate to Amazon.com is in reality just as good as cash.

Another 62% of the market research companies in our database reward survey takers via "Cash & Prizes". What this means is that sometimes they pay in cold hard cash, and other times they reward you with prizes, free products, "points" redeemable for cash or prizes, etc.

It's important to understand how market research works ...

9 out of 10 times a market research firm is hired by another company to conduct research and surveys on their behalf. Thus, the reward or incentive for any particular survey usually depends on what the market research companies' client is offering at any given time.

So for example, one month a market research company might offer a free product or prize drawing (usually the odds are pretty good!) and the next month they may offer a $50 to $150 survey and/or focus group. It all depends on what their current clients are offering.

This is why we strongly suggest that you get yourself registered with as many of the market research companies as you possibly can, because you just never know who will be offering what, and when. Do NOT make the mistake of only registering with those listed as "Cash" only.

Finally, the remaining 11% currently pay only in prizes, free products and/or "points". Points redeemable for cash are great, you just have to build it up before getting paid.

 
6. How often is your database updated? And are the companies legit?!

The heart of the SurveyScout member website is our database of market research companies and sites that will pay you for your opinions. We've literally researched thousands of companies, and list only the best of the best in our database - which is updated regularly.

Unfortunately, a lot of the "opportunities" you see advertised are scams - they don't pay as promised, they bombard you with advertising after you register with them, etc.

We help you avoid all the hassle and frustration of dealing with these types of companies by listing only the best ones in our database. We've checked them out, they are all legitimate, we use them ourselves, and they compensate survey participants as promised.

 
7. How soon after I sign-up can I get started and make some money?

Once you sign-up you can get started immediately. This is not to say you will be offered surveys or make money within an hour after joining, but there are several things you need to do in preparation of taking surveys - and you can do these things immediately upon joining us.

Some people start receiving surveys within a few of hours, but the average wait is usually at least a few days. It really depends on your "profile", and which companies you register with.

Please keep in mind that many market research companies only send out 1-2 surveys a month. With these it will take at least a few weeks before you are entered into their system and start receiving surveys from them, depending on when you register.

So for example, if you only register with 10 programs and they all happen to only send out 1 survey a month, it will take at least a few weeks before you see any surveys.

It's crucial to register with as many as you can - you will NOT make a lot of money from any one company. We introduce you to 100s of companies, and the more you register with the more surveys you can take. It's that simple. Once you get going you can do surveys every day.

Unfortunately we can't tell you which companies are "best" for you, because it really depends on you - who you are, where you live, what you do for a living, and all of the other things that make-up your personal "profile" which is what determines the surveys you'll be offered.

... but don't worry, because before long you'll know which ones are best for you. Most people end up favoring a handful of 20-30 companies that send them the "best" surveys.

What I can tell you is that I have personally registered with about 250 companies and I receive more survey invitations than I can handle. And there are a lot of people who make thousands of dollars per month from surveys and focus groups. It's entirely up to YOU!
