Paid Viewpoint is one of my favorite survey sites to make money. There are no hoops to jump through, the process is very easy, earning potential is high and the site is extremely user-friendly. PV uses an awesome TraitScoreSM system (algorithms). Each member is assigned a trait score to assess the candor taker and consistency of survey respondents who are then rewarded for their honesty and consistency. Not thoroughly reading the questions, rushing through the survey or failing to give candid answers will drastically lower your TraitScoreSM (this system is much like a credit score).
The key to earning a high TraitScore is quite simple:
Be honest about your demographics and traits, always give your honest opinions, and don't be fickle. Change your mind only when it is really changed. Lastly, remember, PV is not interested in your personal identity. They don't ask for your real name. They want to learn about you and your candid opinions and maintain your privacy so that you will feel free to speak your mind.
What can I do to maximize my income on PaidViewpoint?
PV limits the total number of market research surveys any member is permitted to answer each month, to prevent members from becoming burned out by too many questions and to ensure high-quality answers. Within the range of the number of surveys PV permits members to answer each month, they offer more income opportunities to members with higher TraitScores. The pay-per-survey is also higher based upon your TraitScoreSM.
How can I collect my earnings?
All cash-out payments are made via Paypal . The payout threshold is $15 USD, which is very low compared to other survey sites. Once you have reached this threshold, the cash-out button in your account appears. After you click "cash-out", your request will be processed and you can expect to see the funds in your PayPal account within 72 hours (I've received mine even sooner.)
What are "traits surveys"?
Traits surveys are small collections of questions that help us get to better know you and your interests. Now you're probably asking yourself, "but didn't she say that PV doesn't want your personal information?" Even though they don't need or want to know your personal identity, they still need to hear about you to get a better understanding of your traits, demographics, and interests, to deliver you surveys which are relevant, interesting and more fun for you to answer. Traits surveys are also an integral part of the TraitScoreSM system. By answering traits surveys, you create opportunities to raise your TraitScoreSM.
What are "market research surveys"?
These paid surveys are ordered by companies for a variety of different purposes including testing new products ideas, seeking opinions about designs (logos, branding, etc.) and many, many other reasons. Market surveys get a fixed portion of the sale price which is paid to members who answer the questions. That money is divided up between the respondents based on their TraitScoreSM. Adjustments are made to level the playing field so that newer members of PaidViewpoint are treated equally well as compared to longstanding members. The respondent pool is divided into groups. The higher level groups get paid more for each survey answer. The pay-per-survey is calculated based on how much work you have to do.
IMPORTANT KEY POINTS TO REMEMBER:
Be HONEST
Be CONSISTENT
PV surveys generally consist of 10 questions and take approximately 5-6 minutes to complete, so there is no reason to rush through surveys and or not read the questions thoroughly.
Answer ALL trait scores offered to you.
