Why would Companies Pay Me for My Opinion?

If you are asking yourself why would someone pay me to take surveys? Think about it this way you own a large company and are trying to come out with a new product to compete with your competitors. Would you just invest millions of dollars into that product and hope that the consumers like it better? Or would you rather practically guarantee yourself that the product would be a success. By getting the opinions of individuals like you, these companies learn what their customers want. For example:
One of the options some of the survey site offer is movie trailer reviews. Film companies invest hundreds of millions of dollars in each film, and when they do they are hoping people (you) will be in those seats watching those films.
The most obvious way for them to fill the seats is by putting big name stars in the movies, but if no one knows about these films it doesn’t matter who’s in it. NO one will be going to go see it. So they release previews aka (movie trailers) before the movie actually hits the theaters to entice people to come see the movie
So it makes sense after investing all these hundreds of millions of dollars for the film companies, to invest a little more money and pay people for their opinions on these movie trailers. So they can determine which scenes to put into these trailers. Because after the stars that is ultimately what consumers will use to decide whether it is worth seeing?
So you see it makes a lot of sense after all for these companies to pay for your opinions and even more importantly pay the people who will ultimately be buying their products (you the consumers).
Companies spend millions and millions of dollars on research and development and part of that budget is spent on consumer research and product surveys. There are thousands of companies out there that would be happy to pay you a few bucks for your honest opinions on their products. So they don’t make a major mistake and end up losing millions of dollars on a product or service no one wants.
You to can get in on your share of this money the large cooperation’s spend. But please do your homework there are many scams online and survey sites just interested in getting your money. Companies will pay you for your opinion on their products but make sure to sign up with a reputable paid service survey site. When you do it is well worth it to pay the small membership fee and get started right away, if you do you will end up making this back and a lot more.

I like this post. I know there are a lot of people wondering why a company of duty would pay them for their opinion and how to get started offering it. I think it is reasonable to expect to pay a small fee to access to legitimate survey companies.

If You do not want to pay to join one of the membership sites that finds these surveys for you. The best place to start would be to contact medium to large internet companies and find out if they have a paid consumer panelist program you can join. Although it will take some time and effort to find them and to weed out the good from the bad.
And then after you make enough money from them you can invest in the small membership and have them find the surveys for you.
Good Luck.
i have been told that no legitimate company would ask for money up front so what you are telling me is that i have to pay to work i thought one got paid to work thanks for any input
Please see my post why the membership fee that should answer all you questions.
Thanks
I would like to get an explanation on the procedures. For example: I pay a fee,. Companies contact me to give an opinion? Fill out a survey? Or do I have to contact people to take surveys? Please reply
The way it works is after you join the paid survey site. You will fill in the questionnaire with all the information about yourself. One of the most important things is to make sure you answer these questions honestly, this way you have the best chance of receiving the top surveys. Once you are done filling in all the information. There are two ways to get surveys, one you can logon to the survey site and look at the different surveys that they have to offer and your demographics and number two. The companies will send you by e-mail different surveys in your categories. And then you can choose which ones you would like to answer.
Please remember work Smart, not hard
