How can you maximize your survey opportunities?

If you enjoy taking surveys or want to earn some extra cash taking surveys, you likely want to take all of the surveys that you can.  How can you increase your number of survey opportunities?  Survey routers help you increase your chances of qualifying for surveys. Have you seen a survey router?

A survey router is a program that checks for available surveys and offers any up to you.  A survey router may come up at the beginning of a survey.  If it does, it will ask you a few demographic questions to qualify you (usually age, gender and region) and will check to see if there are any available surveys looking for respondents with your demographics.  If so, it will ask if you would like to take the survey.

Sometimes after you take a short survey or are screened out of a survey, you will be asked if you'd like to take another survey.  If you have the time, it's a great way to build up your rewards more quickly.


Many legitimate market research companies have survey routers as part of their programs.  Ipsos and HarrisPoll are two examples of companies with survey routers.  Ipsos asks whether you would like to take another survey when you have been screened out of a survey.  Harris Poll starts with a survey router each time, which means it goes through all available surveys to find one you qualify for.  This gives you even more chances to build up your account quickly.



Taking a survey through a survey router is pretty straightforward.  You will be asked basic demographic questions (even if you just answered them to qualify for the earlier survey). This is a bit annoying, but it ensures that only qualified respondents are chosen.  When it finds a survey for you, you will be asked if you'd like to take the survey and it should tell you how long it will take and what your reward will be.  In some cases, the new survey may be from a partner.  When you click to take the survey, you may be re-directed to a new site.  But don't worry, the new partner will be credible just like the panel you joined.  If you have been re-directed, you should end back on the original site.  We suggest you keep track of the date, your reward, the partner site (if applicable) and any other details about the survey.  This will help you check that you have been given your reward.

Just how easy is it to join survey panels?

When you are on SavvySeekers.com and you have selected the survey panel you would like to join, click on the JOIN NOW button.  You will be re-directed to the survey registration.  You will be asked to provide contact details and some basic demographics about you and your household.  The most important info is your email address.

After you have answered all of the questions, click the submit button.  All of the survey companies on SavvySeekers.com (and all legitimate survey companies) will send you a confirmation email.  This email is very important for a few reasons:

1.  it ensures that you really want to sign up, referred to as double opt-in.  You are agreeing to receive emails from the survey company;
2.  it ensures that the survey company has the correct email for you; and,
3.  it ensures that you are able to find emails from the survey company.  You should add the survey company email into your email contact list to ensure you receive their emails.

You must click the link in the email to confirm your membership and become a full-fledged member of the panel.  Legitimate survey companies will not email you if you don't click this link to give them permission.  They may actually email you once more, but must get this double opt-in to continue emailing you.

This email should arrive shortly after you complete the registration.  If you can't find it, look in your junk folder.  Sometimes invites end up there.  If it is in your junk folder, mark it as safe so that it will go to your inbox next time.  If you still can't find it, contact the survey company's help desk and they should be able to assist you.

That's it!  You will begin receiving surveys and earning great rewards right away.  Visit  SavvySeekers.com for US surveys and SavvySeekers.com for Canadian surveys to find great legitimate free surveys and start earning cash today!

When you join an online survey how long do you have to sign up for?

That's an easy one - you are signing up for as long as YOU want.  So if you join one day and change your mind, you are free to unsubscribe.  The legitimate survey companies, like those on www.savvyseekers.com will remove you as soon as you request to be removed.  It may take a few business days, but they will remove you as soon as possible.  Unsubscribe links will be found on every email you receive and on the survey website.  Just look for the link and follow the steps that appear.  It will be very easy to unsubscribe. 

Chances are though, once you see your rewards build up, you won't want to unsubscribe.  Your account will start building with the first survey you take.  Most survey companies will have an online portal that will allow you to check your account balance.  You can also check to see how much you need to have in your account before you can request your payment.  Some start as little as $10. 

Our favourite companies that will give you the opportunity to build your account quickly are MySurvey, Ipsos I-Say, Angus Reid Forum/Springboard America, Toluna and VIP Voice.  You can find them here:
For Canadians - SavvySeekers' surveys for Canadians
For Americans - SavvySeekers' surveys for Americans

Since there is no long term commitment for these survey panels why not give them a try?  Click the links to join and start earning your rewards TODAY!

How can you earn more with online surveys?

The best way to maximize your earnings with online surveys is to check your email every day and participate in as many surveys as you can.  Some surveys fill up quickly, so the sooner you take the survey the better.  You may also get the opportunity to participate in focus groups and special surveys that pay more than standard surveys.  You just never know what you will be offered when you click on a survey link.

If you receive a survey that is offering a draw for participating, we highly recommend you take them as well.  They may ask you questions to qualify you for future surveys AND you may win the draw.  These draws may have smaller numbers of entrants so your odds of winning are pretty good. 

You can also earn bigger amounts if you join more than one survey panel.  The more you join, the more you are eligible to earn.

You can find a list of our favourite surveys on SavvySeekers.  Join now and start earning now!

How many surveys will you get once you join a survey company?

How many surveys you get after joining a survey company will depend on a few things.  First of all, if you join one of the bigger companies listed on SavvySeekers they will most likely be running many surveys at one time.  The companies we list are mainly global companies with many clients.  This means that they will have many surveys running at the same time. 

The other thing that will determine how many surveys you will get is how the demographic profile of your household matches what they are looking for.  If they are doing many surveys for new moms and you happen to be a new mom, you will get more surveys.  Generally speaking, surveys need more moms, young people (under 35), men, and those with higher income levels - household income of approximately $75,000 or more. If you fall into these groups, then chances are you will get a lot of surveys.  And, of course, this means you will earn more rewards! So if you are a mom, or if you are young, or male or live in a household with a higher combined income, you can earn more rewards with online surveys.

Why should you take online surveys from cash register receipts?

Are online surveys worth your time?  Personally, I think so.  My favourite type of survey to take are the ones found on cash register receipts.  Many stores and restaurants have them - from Home Depot to the Olive Garden!  Some give away a sweepstakes entry for participating and some give away a free appetizer or dessert. The surveys are typically very short and will only take a few minutes to complete. 

Why should you fill out online surveys?

Well, if you actually shopped in one of these stores or ate in one of these restaurants, why not tell them how your experience was?  If your experience was good or bad, they should know about it.  If your experience was good, the manager should find out about that so he/she can know their staff is doing a good job and the staff may be rewarded for their performance.  If the experience wasn't good, the manager should know this information so that they can make things better.  This can affect you - if you go back to the store or restaurant, you may have a better experience. 

Many online surveys ask if you would like the information passed to the manager and if you would like the manager to contact you.  This is a good way to explain in more detail what the issue was and also to be sure that your feedback is being passed along to the person responsible.  Not only that, but the manager may take the opportunity to thank you with a special gift.  My brother did a restaurant survey from his cash receipt and the manager contacted him.  They were pleased with his feedback and even sent him a gift card for his next visit.  That was certainly worth his time to pass along the details of his experience. I'm not saying this will happen all of the time, but your feedback can improve things and it may also reward deserving employees.

Are online surveys worthwhile? I absolutely think they are.

At SavvySeekers, we are market researchers that want to help members of the public have a positive experience with online surveys.  We post legitimate online surveys that will keep your information confidential, they won't send you spam, they won't try to sell you anything and they will send the rewards they promise.  We'll tell you the truth - you won't earn a living taking online surveys, but you may make enough for the occasional night out or trip to the spa.  Some surveys offer sweepstakes for larger rewards so you may just get lucky and win one of them.  Don't forget to LIKE us on Facebook to get all of the latest tips and online surveys.
