Consumer spending makes up 2/3 of the economies of developed countries. Most large companies have little or no direct contact with the people who actually buy their products. Look around you the next time you go to a department store or supermarket. Thousands of products are being sold by middlemen. The actual producers are nowhere to be seen.

Companies contract with market researcher to measure consumer preferences and opinions. Market researchers use mostly surveys to measure consumer opinion. Almost all of these surveys are now done over the internet, online.

They pay survey participants to fill out those surveys! Surveys pay from $5 to $150 each. Most are in the $10 to $25 range. Not a lot of money per survey, but they don’t take much time and they add up quickly.

How much money can you make? That depends on your diligence and your demographics. Most survey takers report incomes of $200 to $600 a month. Many report $1,000 a month or more. It might be a good idea to check out taking legitimate paid surveys.
