Are Online Surveys A Legitimate Way To Make Money?

So, you've come across an ad or offer promising that you can earn a full-time income working part-time taking simple online surveys...

Is it true or a SCAM?

Well...kind of both.

So, can you really make money online taking surveys? YES. I've done it.

Can you really earn a full-time income taking those same surveys? Again, yes...but it's WAY more difficult and time-consuming that you'd expect.

There are people that have done it and are doing it but I can assure you that when they divide the time they're actually spending going through these surveys it probably comes out to only nickels and dimes per hour...far less than a minimum wage job.

So, why are these offers so popular?

Honestly, it's because naive people just coming online really want to believe that it's possible...

And most people are attracted to the idea of being able to support themselves and live a comfortable life by only working a few hours per day and clicking a few buttons on their computer.

So, that's why those online survey ads and offers are so popular and have been for so long.

Most of the sites that offer the opportunity to earn money in exchange for your opinion or to take surveys are actually free to join.

But, these survey products simply package up the information of how to navigate these sites and give you a list of some of the more popular ones, and then charge your either a one-time price or a monthly subscription for access to that information.

So, there's usually a high churn rate or turnover with these kinds of products and offers, because as soon as people realize that they're not going to make much money at all filling out surveys and that it's really not worth the time they're trading to do so, they tend to move on to the next shiny object or get-rich-quick-scheme.

So, if you're going to do anything in regards to trying to making money with surveys, your best option would be to promote these kinds of offers to others as an affiliate.

You may feel a little shady promoting these kinds of offers all over the Internet now that you know the truth, but that's where all the money is at.

One the other hand, if you'd like some alternative suggestions for simple and sustainable methods of generating a full-time income online, that aren't going to cost you a fortune in startup costs and won't take you a ton of time each day to start getting some traction...

I would recommend exploring solutions like creating your own online courses on platforms like Udemyor Skillshare, or learning how to build simple niche affiliate SEO websites.

Both of these methods are excellent ways to start creating a solid passive income stream that can eventually replace your full-time job.

SEO Strategies For Affiliate Marketing

SEO (search engine optimization) is actually pretty simple. It mainly comes down to two things: on page SEO and off page SEO. On page SEO just means optimizing your content to rank for certain keywords. The main elements on the page you want to make sure and include your target keywords are your Title and URL. As far as the body itself don't worry so much about using the exact phrases you're going after word for word... It's more important that you concentrate on providing as much value as possible and writing for humans instead of trying to keyword stuff and trying to maintain a certain keyword density . The other half of the SEO equation is off page SEO. This just means backlinks or links from other high authority or relevant sites pointing to the piece of content you're trying to rank. Off page SEO is also pretty simple - it mostly comes down to... The authority of sites linking to yours The relevance of the sites linki...

How To Engineer Your Own Paycheck With Affiliate Marketing

Years ago I was suckered into an Amway pitch... But I did get one valuable takeaway that I still use today. During their spiel, the couple who was trying to persuade me to join Amway explained it like this... "Don't think of Amway as an expense. Because all you're really doing is simply redirecting a few dollars each month that you're spending anyway on household products and purchasing Amway products instead of some of the products that you buy at the supermarket." So, I like to apply this same approach with affiliate marketing. Most products and services pay you in money. However, some reward you with credit toward their product. So, if I'm subscribing to a service like this, I'll do my best to refer enough people on a regular basis to cancel out my subscription cost. One example is a meal delivery service called HelloFresh . I have to eat anyway and since HelloFresh has a refer program that rewards me in credits towards my subscri...

How To Promote Clickbank Offers Using Bing Ads

One of the oldest, most popular, and easiest affiliate networks to get started with is Clickbank . And one of the fastest methods of getting results online is paid traffic. PPC (pay-per-click) is one of the more popular paid traffic sources, especially for beginners. Pay-per-click basically works like SEO (search engine optimization) but on steroids. So, instead of optimizing content perfectly and waiting for it to rank, you just pay to show up. However, when it comes to promoting affiliate offers, or, more specifically, direct linking to affiliate offers , huge networks like Google AdWords aren't usually that friendly. But, luckily Bing Ads is a lot more open to affiliate marketers and allows you to direct link to your affiliate offers. So, if you're just getting started with: affiliate marketing, promoting Clickbank offers, or Bing Ads in general this is something that works. Now, to give yourself a little more of an edge though over all...
