Most companies will pay you cash, but some will give you free products, gift certificates, a chance to win bigger prizes, or "points" to be redeemed for products, cash, etc.
Many people report taking surveys right away - anywhere from a few hours to a few days after they start registering. But keep in mind that many companies only send out a few surveys per month, so it will usually be a few weeks before you start getting a lot of surveys.
Just in the United States, companies spend over 250 Billion dollars a year trying to convince consumers to buy their products and services. That's a lot of money. And while the majority of it is spent on advertising, a portion is devoted to research. You see, understanding how people think and shop, why they buy certain products, etc. ultimately helps companies improve their products and services and make THEM more money. Knowing this, and that they won't get our help for free, companies are willing to pay people like you and me good money - up to $150 an hour! - for our opinions, because when the dust settles they know they will come out ahead and generate even more profits for themselves. So you see, this is no "scam." It actually makes a lot of sense doesn't it?
Have an extra 30 minutes in the morning before heading off to work? Do you have a few hours available in the afternoon while the kids are out playing? Or maybe it's 2am and for some reason you can't sleep? These are all perfect times to do surveys and get paid!
On the other hand, maybe you get busy with other things and don't have any time to do surveys for awhile. That's perfectly fine! It's not like there's a boss breathing down your neck, or you have to worry about getting fired. You can do surveys when it's convenient for YOU.
When and how you're compensated depends on the specific opportunity you participate in. Some will pay instantly online via PayPal, others will mail you a check, etc. Just remember, you'll always know the exact details up front, and you pick the ones you like. Once you get going you could have a steady stream of cash and free stuff all the time!
