First off, I'd like to point out that the title does not do the article justice. After reading it, I discovered that a more appropriate title would be something like "Taking Surveys Helps Others" or "The Importance Of Taking Surveys". I'll let you decide.
The article describes how taking surveys contributes towards creating consumer awareness. Absolutely! Products don't think for themselves. In order for a product to excel in a competitive market, the product itself has to be efficient and likable for consumers to accept. How to companies know what to do? They probably have a general idea where to start, the rest are often taken from beta testing, polls and surveys before even thinking of releasing the product! That's where survey takers come in. By taking surveys, we (the consumers) have something to say, we give suggestions, comments, opinions and in some cases complaints about a product. Therefore giving the inventors some sort of criteria and a list of standards the consumers look for in a product. So you see, by taking surveys, we not only earn a bit from it, but we also are doing a public service!
Through the use of surveys we help organizations know their product better. To further expand on what I wrote earlier, we actually help by giving them concerns of things that they probably would have never discovered if it werent for these surveys. So surveys become a powerful tool when it comes to market research, they need us. Another important thing to point out is that through surveys, these organizations are hitting 2 birds with one stone. They not only get valuable feedback for a specific product, they also advertise it through the survey itself!

Back to topic, after all of these surveys have been given out and taken the products come out to the general public, fine tuned and optimized to its best. In the end, we can be happy that we contributed to its progress and also, the nice check that comes in the mail for getting involved!
The final part of the article tells us to take all kinds of product and service surveys seriously. This can be highly justified after all that has been said. Do not think of it as a waste of time because it is intended for the progress and common good for all. So whether you are getting paid to take a survey or not, be honest, and treat it as an important thing. Their is a bigger picture to see in all this.
I like the way you look at it. Not only are we making a little extra money by completing surveys, we are doing a community service. Good stuff.
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting. It really is a fun way to look at it. After all, someones gotta do the job.
ReplyDeleteThanks joyce
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up! If you are serious and want to Get Paid to Take Surveys, you need to follow what the expert survey takers have done. These guys are registered with more than one market research company. In fact, some are members of dozens and even hundreds of market research companies so that they can have a consistent inflow of web surveys to do.
ReplyDeleteHi Nichole, I get what you mean. That works for those full time survey takers. I do other things too that's why I'm not registered with a lot of sites. I think some sites I joined I haven't really posted here yet. Thanks
