Some useful items for your paid surveys taking enjoyment...

Browser compatibility

When you join these "paid surveys for money", you should probably have the latest version of the paid survey company's preferred internet browser, as most firms will be formatting their paid online surveys that way. Using other than the market research company's preferred browsers may actually hinder your survey taking, but this is in no way trying to push you into using an application you don't like.

While survey publishers are starting to make "other" browser compatible paid surveys, for the meantime, it's the "old-standard" for most of the industry. Maybe your browser is fine, maybe it's not. They'll tell you when you log-on and participate most of the time, so consider this a heads-up notification, that's all.

Get the latest version of Microsoft Internet Explorer

E-Mail Programs

Set-up a dedicated "paid surveys only" email account. For sure! You don't want a few hundred new survey panel invitations in your regular e-mail, do you?

Field Fillers

When you go to sign-up at any paid surveys online site, you'll have to fill out some information about yourself. Field-fillers are pretty good for expediting this process, and generally worth it.

Be forewarned, not every single free paid surveys site you'll sign up with have all their fields setup correctly for use with all field-fillers. You'll probably have to type a little bit, no matter what.

Good thing is, if you can't type when you start, you'll darn sure be a better typist when you're done! Most of the ones shown below offer a freebie consumer version.

While they're not absolutely essential, why not put another layer of protection against you and the rest of the world and the scams while you get paid to take surveys and make money online?
