While the best reason for doing paid surveys, should be the income aspect. you must also remember this is not a get-rich-quick scheme. You will put in many hours on-line looking for information. You will find hundreds or maybe thousands of companies, but will they pay and will the pay be enough for you to live on or just enough for pocket change, and maybe even enough to quit your job and stay home. When you first start out you should know that this is only going to be pocket change.

There are also prizes such as free downloads for your MP3 player and IPOD, and in some cases you may even win those items with the downloads.
The reason for doing survey may also be that the companies want to work to improve the products we use everyday. This is a way for them to test the audience and find out if those people like or dislike the products and if the users will continue to use them, or if there is something that can be change to make consumers want that particular product.
