Trang 7Part 1: Is your opinion really worth money?
Every year companies and institutions spend over 280 Billion dollars on
marketing efforts to convince consumers to buy products and services That's huge!
A significant part of this money is directed to opinion research because the main challenge that corporations face is how to get into the consumers' heads
Thousands of innovative products are released every year but many of them fail
in the marketplace These corporations invest tremendous efforts to develop new successful products but they often miss what consumers really want For
marketers, it's a fatal flaw Failing to understand consumers leads to marketing disaster!
Savvy marketers have used surveys for years as a way to explore consumer needs People like you and me are invited to give their opinions on various topics and this information is used to elaborate their marketing strategies
Because they need to know what consumers want very quickly and
because very few people will volunteer this information for
business sense for them and it's a great opportunity for you and me
To make it short and to the point, your opinion is really worth money!
How much? I'll answer this question in the next section
Before you read on, I recommend you to join these two excellent survey
companies in order to get started right now Every beginner should be registered with them

Trang 8Part 2: The Most Popular Surveys to Take
Today the most popular surveys are:
number of individuals These discussions are animated and interesting
They pay the best
restaurants! No gimmicks! All you need to do is fill out a questionnaire about your customer experience
You can get paid:
The best surveys pay up to $250 an hour because these companies know this information will give them an edge in the market and they will make more profit for themselves
Remark: Let me make myself perfectly clear I am not claiming that you will make
$250 an hour all day and every day I’m also not claiming that you will earn $15 for every online survey you complete But from experience I know that you can easily earn extra money every month, working in your spare time, with hundreds
of online paid surveys and mystery shopping jobs that are sent directly to your email Sometimes you will also receive an invitation for a 1-2 hour focus group that can pay as much as $250 per session!
Trang 9Let’s explain how you can profit from every type of survey
Online Surveys
Online paid surveys are a new medium used in marketing research for gathering data on consumer behaviors People are invited to fill out forms on the Internet and to give their opinions on various topics Participants like you and me are rewarded for completing these surveys
At least 50% of consumer opinions are gathered with paid online surveys and it is easy to understand why: With paid online surveys, marketers can collect
consumer opinions quickly and in a cost effective way Giving incentives to web participants is much cheaper and more efficient than surveying customers on-site, over the telephone or through the mail
Marketers have been using opinion research for decades as a way to explore customer needs Paid online surveys are now reinventing the way it is done and
it is a great opportunity for all of us
I recommend you to join these online panels to increase your chances of
receiving paid surveys:
• My Survey: U.S Join here / Canada Join here / Australia Join here / UK Join
here
• NPD: U.S Join here / Canada Join here
Trang 10Focus Groups
A focus group is a personal interview simultaneously conducted among a small number of individuals; the interview relies more on group discussion than on a series of directed questions to generate data It is also called a group in-depth interview
Unlike the one-way flow of information in a one-on-one interview, paid focus groups generate data through the give and take of group discussion Listening as people share and compare their different points of view provides a wealth of information — not just about what they think, but why they think the way they do
When being recruited, potential participants receive a brief description of what the focus group will be about, as well as assurances that their participation is entirely voluntary kept confidential
With focus groups, you will be invited to spend 1-2 hours with a group of 6 to 12
people to discuss a product, service, brand or any other marketing concept The meeting is typically held in a pleasant environment and refreshments are served
During this group session there is interplay of thoughts and ideas to get
insights on consumer attitudes and perceptions
There are many benefits to focus groups:
• A wide range of information can be gathered in a relatively short period of time and the market research company can explore related but
unanticipated topics as they are raised in the discussion
• Focus groups are very well paid – participants can make up to $250 per session.
• These discussions are animated and interesting They can be a lot of fun.
Trang 11Remark: because they pay the best, we give a high priority to focus groups in our paid survey database One out of hundreds companies listed at Maximum Paid
Surveys is Probe Market Research that pays between $50 and $400 You can

Mystery Shopping
Mystery shopping is currently the most profitable opportunity for our
members so it’s definitely worth your time
Simply put, mystery shopping is very much like everyday shopping, but for
money! You just need to be attentive to some details during your shopping trip and report them to the mystery shopping companies that hire you Doing so, you can get paid for eating out at first-class restaurants, shopping at the mall, staying
at hotels and even going to the movies
Let’s take a mystery shopping assignment at a shoe store for example:
Your mystery shopping job: You go into the ABC Shoe Store on a Monday
afternoon and you notice posters displaying a promotion on all Nikes (20% off) in the store display window A salesman named “Andrew” greets you and mentions you can get an additional 20% off on all Nikes You thank him and then walk over
to the Nike shoe section You pick up one pair of Nikes Another salesman
named “Michael” approaches you and asks if everything is alright You tell
Michael you are wondering what the difference is between this Nike shoe you are holding and the pair of New Balance shoes near it Michael gives you some details about the different materials used, manufacturing process etc You tell him you want to try a pair of Nikes in a size 10 He brings them to you You try on the shoes but they are too big You ask for a smaller size Michael comes back with a size 9 They fit You tell Michael you want to take the shoes He asks if you
Trang 12would like a pair of socks with the shoes They’re 50% off when purchased with a pair of shoes You agree to buy the socks too Michael smiles and rings up
everything quickly and efficiently You leave the store feeling like you got a good
deal and good service You behaved like a normal shopper and nobody would think you are a mystery shopper
Your mystery shopping report:
• You fill out a questionnaire detailing your customer experience and
answering specific questions about the promotion posters, whether the salesman greeted you, whether the salesman told you about the socks, and about other add-on products, etc
• You send this questionnaire by fax or email to the mystery shopping
companies that hired you for this assignment
Your payment for this mystery shopping job:
• You get paid $15 to $50
Did you ever dream of getting paid for shopping, eating out at restaurants or going to the local theater? Now you can make that dream a reality as a mystery shopper
The benefits of mystery shopping are plenty You get free stuff and money Your hours are flexible Your job is varied and fun and you have the satisfaction of helping to improve the quality of services available for consumers
Maximum Paid Surveys lists over 250 mystery shopping companies

Trang 13Part 3: Tips to Make Your Survey Experience Successful
Tip #1: Sign up to as many legitimate survey sites as you can
The more sites you are affiliated with, the better your chances are of being
eligible for more surveys
Tip #2: Skip all survey invitations that aren’t worth your time
You’ll come across several types of survey invitations that aren’t worth your time: Surveys that don’t offer money incentive, surveys that will put you in
sweepstakes, surveys that don’t state up-front which incentive you will receive
Skip them and give your priority to the most profitable ones It means that you need to discard many survey invitations and pick up only the best ones to make this opportunity as profitable as possible
Tip #3: Combine all kinds of surveys
To earn the best possible income, you should combine all kinds of surveys: Online surveys, focus groups and mystery shopping jobs Taking online surveys
is fine but taking online surveys only is missing out on some of the best
opportunities to earn money! According to our experience top performers devote
at least 70% of their time to Mystery Shopping and focus groups because they
make the most money with them and they are fun
Remark: At Maximum Paid Surveys members get access to a board of focus
groups in selected cities and a board listing thousands of current mystery
shopping surveys to take so it’s easy to get started
Trang 14Tip #4: Set up a dedicated email inbox
Once you start registering with a lot of companies, you will start receiving plenty
of invitations and you definitely don't want to miss any of these opportunities For this reason, we highly recommend setting up a separate email address for
everything related to paid surveys By having a separate email account dedicated
to surveys, your survey-related emails won’t be mixed up with other emails and you won’t miss any survey opportunity You can set up a free email account at Yahoo.com or Gmail.com In our opinion, these are the best free email services
on the web
Tip #5: Make your life easier and save your fingers by using Roboform
Roboform will automatically fill in your information when signing up for paid
surveys This will save you time and can usually be completed with one mouse click
Tip #6: Fill out the profile section of paid survey sites
When you are participating in online paid surveys, a lot will hinge upon your personal profile Where you live, your age, and your interest preferences It will depend upon whether the companies needing information are interested in
hearing from you according to your profile
When you fill out your profile, make sure you check everything you are even remotely interested in or know anything at all about This will determine how many surveys you will be sent The more you have on your profile, the more surveys you will be eligible for Even if some of the subjects are remotely
interesting to you, be sure to include them
Trang 15Tip #7: Bookmark paid survey sites in a separate folder
Be sure to bookmark sites where you are required to log in You may want to create a folder with separate files for each of your paid survey sites and keep them in a folder in your documents This will help to keep you organized and you will have your user name and password at your fingertips When the sites are bookmarked, you will be able to access the site easier and check to see if they have any surveys available for you to take
Tip #8: Open a PayPal account
Opening a PayPal account might be a good idea, if you don’t have one already You can go to www.paypal.com to sign up Some of the paid survey sites use PayPal to send payment It is a fast and easy process, and your information is safe with them

Trang 16Part 4: Don’t make this beginner’s mistake!
If you joined the survey panels recommended in former parts of this course, you are probably very excited about joining more I was too when I first discovered this amazing opportunity I was so eager to start making money that I began signing up like crazy with all the survey companies I could find
Later I discovered that it was a mistake!
What's wrong with joining as many survey companies as you can? Nothing is wrong In fact, the more survey companies you join the more surveys you will be invited to complete, and the more money you will make…
The problem is which survey companies you choose to join Signing up with all survey companies without discerning which ones are legitimate and which ones are not is a BIG MISTAKE
The really bad thing is that you will get disappointed with paid surveys just because you didn't register with the right companies!
To make it really work you must register with legitimate companies only!
How can you discern between good and bad survey companies?
Legitimate survey companies comply with the following practices:
• Your privacy and the privacy of your answers are ensured
• You will not be sold anything under the guise of research
• You will get paid on time for the surveys you decide to take
