Doing surveys you need to be patient, as they seem to always repeat the same questions over, and over again. You will also need to be very observant to the email invites, as well as the survey. The more survey sites you belong to, the more chances you will have at getting the same survey from another company. If you disqualified (DQ) from a survey the first time, you will have a chance to make it through a second time. The email invites often have select words pertaining to what the survey is about, example, "stocks" so if you don't invest or never plan to, you will be disqualified from the survey.

Some of this may be repeats for those of you who read the first page, but in case someone hasn't I figured all the information is better than part of it.

One of the most helpful things is Roboform. Roboform is a form filling tool that allows you to store passwords and any other form filling information you may need. This is an absolute must if you fill in lots of online forms such as subscription page. This is free to download but we highly recommend paying for the upgrade. This is by far the single best use of our money so far. If you need another reason then this is much better than the Google form filler.

You also will need an email account besides your main one you use to like signup for Annika's with. You can get a free email account at such places as yahoo.com, hotmail.com and inbox.com to name a few. It's important that you don't mix your personal emails with your survey or paid to read emails. This way you shouldn't have to worry about spam and or false closing of your email accounts.

You will also need a program in which you can get payment in. Surveys are mostly paid in check or PayPal. Which paid to read emails, it's PayPal or e-gold. Please note, I said mostly. There are other payment processors as well.

Survey tools is a good place to go for getting started with surveys. On that page you can find links to programs which you may need from time to time.

Survey questions and answers page is created to help you sort some things you may be wondering.

Survey tips will help guide you through what profiles need to be filled in and other things you may have no clue about.

The been paid survey page is links of sites that have actually paid. This is good to go over first for joining, as they are proven paying surveys.

After going over that page it's a good idea to go over the first page of the over 1400 surveys. Page (1) and page (29) are the pages you will want to visit the most, as they are updated often. You should check these out weekly. You may want to look over the country surveys section you belong to. I would also recommend that you check over the paid pages. The paid pages are listings of survey companies, focus groups, and product testing websites that have either paid my staff, myself, or our members. We always request proof of payment to ensure, it's all legitimate.

The limited offers and limited local section on the message board, offers you offers that you should act fast on, as they will not be open long. Before you post to those topics, there are some things you should know. Read them clearly. There should always be information on who to reply to, or what to call, or click in those topics. Never reply to the topic with personal information.
Be sure to look over the survey blacklist, full of sites to stay away from for one reason or another.

If you have teens in the house you will want to look over the youth survey panels.

Some terms you will need to learn are: Profiles - profiles are the extra added information you provide after the signup process. It is not the main survey you filled in to join the survey company. Screeners - Screeners are surveys that screen you to see if you fit other surveys. All survey companies do this at one point or another. Sometimes it's done for product testing reasons, or higher paying surveys.

The only way to really learn is to sign up, you can read all you want and need, but you can't understand till you take the leap and try.

The message board, bulletin board, news groups or forum. There are many words for this but it's basically a place to post messages of all kinds. Please be sure to do a search before asking something that may already be answered, this is to save you and the staff time and embarrassment.

I also feel its important for you to read the protection page.

If you should find any dead links (link not working) or links going to a site that just doesn't look right, please contact us and let us know this, with the page the link was found on. Thank you.
