THE ORIGIN OF PAID SURVEYS.

Now let us look into the origin of SURVEYS. Before the advent of the internet manufacturing companies do engage the services of research companies to obtain public opinion and interests about their products. These research companies usually send out their staffs to go out and engage the public through interviews to get their views about a particular type of products sometimes they go from door to door and sometimes they collect peoples phone numbers and interview them through telephones. In most cases they send messages to them through mails.

These are the ways through which data were manually gathered and assembled to get the reliable information about the peoples attitudes concerning some particular kinds of products, then the product owners through these informations gathered are able to ascertain the products that people like the most and the ones they have complaints on, in which case , they will then produce more of the products that has most likes and improve on the ones that are problematic., in this way, they will increase their sales margin and bring down losses to a barest minimum.
Apart from these public door to door and word of mouth assessment, which is generally referred to as (man- on-the-street Surveys),

These research companies also help these manufacturing companies in the promotion of their business, which involves paying Advertising firms huge sums of dollars to advertise for these companies products.
But it came to a time when these companies saw that the amount spent on promotion is huge and is affecting their profit margin, so they began to look for a way to cut down advertising costs.
This is where these research companies began to look for a way to pay less in terms of promotion.

This is how PAID SURVEYS came into being, because they realized that they could look for a way to pay individuals like you and me some few amount of dollars and ask them to perform tasks that will help them to get information they need concerning some products by giving their honest opinion about certain product standards or quality and sometimes also ask them to watch movies{which actually are video ads.} to give them some ideas on which adverts that will do well and those that will not based on the answers they received from the questions they asked those that watched the video ads.{movies}
But the advent of the internet now increases the reach of individuals because ,initially they were limited to just individuals at their circle of influence, but the internet made it possible for them to reach individuals they have not met in person or even people they do not know from different countries around the world, online.

So ONLINE PAID SURVEYS is a huge industry which continues to grow from day to day.
They will not cease to be as long as companies continue to manufacture and introduce new products to the market.

Although online fraudsters are spoiling the deal for the research companies by posing as genuine research companies through paying web developers to design professional websites that look like those of the big brands that are doing their business legitimately, thereby scamming unsuspecting make money online seekers especially the newbies. of their hard earned money.

Bottom line…..where there is ORIGINAL there will always be FAKES. But be watchful. .

TYPES OF PAID SURVEYS.

1) STATISTICAL SURVEYS: These surveys are used to collect information about the population. These surveys are used to measure political polls for government use, health, social activities and marketing research.
The surveys, will focus on facts or opinions, depending on the type of information the company or institution is looking for.
The questions on this type of survey are standard and structured. Questions are offered in an order that will not influence a response to questions that came after.
They are standardized so that the questions remain general and reliable. Every person receiving the survey will receive exact same questions.
2) SERIAL SURVEYS. These surveys repeat the same questions at different times to track changes in opinion. There are two types of serial surveys. Cross-Sectional Surveys are given to a variety of different people at the same time and Longitudinal Surveys are given to the same person at different intervals of time.
