Paid Surveys – How they compare with other Paid Programs

There are very many options available for earning money online. Paid surveys are only one of the many options. Doing mystery shopping, reading paid email, driving ad cars for free, and participating in focus groups are some other similar options that even the hardcore paid survey takers have to keep in mind and exploit for supplementing their income if they wish to take them as full time career option. How these paid programs help generating income for the users and offer other benefits is worth consideration.

Mystery shopping allows you to supplement your income offline. You can meet new people, and experience situations in which you are in control and direct all that is happening. Mystery shopping allows you to be both an actor and a market researcher – a thrilling, but responsible job. You need to recreate a scenario as truthfully as possible, in order to make your shopping trip as realistic as possible. On the other hand, you have to be on the watch for specific details – customer service, service time, and many other particulars that you were instructed to make notice of. Mystery shopping also allows you to involve your friends, family members or even pets, so that you can not simply be more truthful to the real shopping experience, but also accomplish your task more easily and fully entertain yourself. While physical mystery shopping offers you a lot of advantages, another variant of it is the secret online shopping where you do not have to visit the shops and restaurants but you can do it online by just having a computer, an internet connection and a credit card. You go to the website of the advertiser, answer a few questions and then provide feedback about the product/service offered and get paid. In such shopping you may have to sign up trial offers as a mandatory condition but then you can cancel the offer any time after sign up but before the trial period is over and still get paid. Secretwebshoppers.com, Web Shoppers Splash, Toponline Shopping.com are some such companies providing online Mystery shopping opportunities.

Reading paid email may not be extremely fun, as oftentimes you need to spend time on sites that may not be of interest to you. However, many of the emails you need to read may inform you of great offers and prizes that you otherwise may not know about; you can win additional bonuses and free stuff by checking the ads in the paid email, and thus earn more than the standard paid email will pay you. Besides, you can read paid email alongside your other online activities, and can combine it with completing paid surveys, because you will save time doing both simultaneously. Inboxsponsors.com and InboxDollars.com are the two of such sites offering you reward for reading emails and signing up offers. To maximize your earnings with paid email, you need to rely on the quantity of paid email that you are able to process. When you combine paid surveys with mystery shopping – physical or online or both and paid email, you will most likely maximize your earnings, and achieve the optimum mix of cash, fun time and free time left for whatever else you wish to do.

Thus if you intend to take these paid programs as full time career opportunity you will have to do not only paid surveys from as many sites as possible, but also to combine them with other paid programs, some of which have been described above. Then alone you will be able to generate so much of income for yourself that not only sustains you but also saves something for the rainy day.
