1. Once I sign-up, when should I expect to receive my first survey?
Generally speaking you should receive your first paid survey within the
first week or two. It really depends on your "profile" (male or female, your
location, etc.) and the current needs of our clients. Sometimes you'll
receive your first paid survey within the first day or two of joining
Cash4Canadians - Paid Surveys 123.
You're not going to be eligible for every survey, because some surveys are
targeted towards either men or women, or those who live in a certain area,
etc. For example, if you're a women and the current survey is about men and
their grooming habits, you won't be invited to take that survey.
If you don't receive an invitation to participate in the current survey
listed on our homepage when you register, it simply means that you're not
eligible for that survey. You should receive your first paid survey
invitation soon thereafter, and in the meantime we suggest you read our
Special Report.
While you're waiting for your first survey, we highly recommend that you
also register with some of our partners. We have partnered with the Top 25
sites that pay for surveys, and once you register with all of them - for
FREE - you'll receive more paid surveys then you can handle.

2. How do I take the Current Survey listed at the top of the website?
Upon registering, you will receive an email inviting you to participate if
you qualify for the current survey. If you don't receive an email
notification, you should also login to your account to double-check just in
case you do not receive the email invitation for some reason (due to your
ISP's spam filters, etc).
Keep in mind that you're not going to be eligible for every survey, because
some surveys are targeted towards either men or women, or those who live in
a certain area, etc. For example, if you're a women and the current survey
is about men and their grooming habits, you won't be invited to take that
survey.
If you don't receive an invitation to participate in the current survey
listed on our homepage when you register, it simply means that you're not
eligible for that survey. You should receive your first paid survey
invitation soon thereafter, and in the meantime we suggest you read our

3. How many surveys should I expect to receive on a monthly basis?
The short answer is that it depends. Sometimes you'll go for a few weeks
with no paid surveys, and the next week you might get 2 or 3. The average is
around 2-4 paid surveys per month.
In order to make the most money possible, we highly recommend that you also
register with some of our partners. We have partnered with the Top 25 sites
that pay for surveys, and once you register with all of them - for FREE -
you'll receive more paid surveys then you can handle.
It will take a little bit of effort to register with them all, but take our
word for it - a month from now you'll be glad you did. If you don't have a
lot of time, register with just a few each day for a week or so.

4. Why do some surveys reward me with prizes, etc. and not cash?
Some companies will often want you to take a short "screener" survey when
you first register with them. Unfortunately these are not usually paid
surveys. You'll usually be entered into a drawing, but the purpose of the
screener survey is much more important than that ...
The real purpose behind screener surveys is that it's how some of the better
market research companies get to know you. It's how they determine which
surveys you're eligible for, and it's the "secret" to getting invited to
take the really good surveys in the future!
The funny thing is that because screener surveys don't pay cash, many people
don't do them - so the odds of winning the prize being offered are a lot
higher than you might think.
Here's an example of a Screener Survey from Winning Surveys. Go ahead and
take it so you can see how easy they are. It won't take more than a few
minutes, and you might win a 2 night hotel stay.
In short, do not be discouraged if you receive some screener surveys in the
beginning - it's really just their way of weeding out those that aren't
serious. More importantly, it's your chance to show that you ARE serious -
and deserving of the really good paid surveys.

5. How come some surveys involve product offers, free trials, etc.?
Some market research companies and/or the big companies they represent work
with various sponsors, promotional companies, etc. And sometimes you'll be
invited to purchase products at a discount, participate in trial offers,
etc. You can safely ignore these offers if you're not interested.
The reason some of them do this is two-fold - it's a way to help promote
their products and services, and it's also used to help offset the cost of
paying high rewards to survey participants. You'll notice that these are
usually the ones that pay the highest rewards, but you can still ignore the
offers.

6. How
much does each survey pay? How much money can I make?
Once again, the short answer is that "it depends" due to the ever-changing
needs of the market research community. Sometimes you might receive a short
survey that takes just a few minutes to fill out and pays $10, and a week
later you might get invited to a 2-hour focus group/survey that pays $150.
The amount of money you make will also depend greatly on the number of
market research companies you register with. If you register with most or
all of the Top 25 sites that pay for surveys as discussed in our Special
Report, you'll receive 25 times more paid surveys invitations and thus make
a lot more money.

7. How will I get paid for taking a survey, and who will pay me?
It depends, but the important thing is that you'll know the exact details
up-front before taking a survey.
For example, sometimes you'll be paid by the market research company who is
conducting the survey on behalf of a client (usually big Fortune 500
companies, but not always). Other times the company that developed the
survey - the company that directly wants your opinions - will pay you
directly.
Payment is usually in the form of a company check that is mailed to you via
postal mail, usually within a few weeks. But more and more companies are
starting to use online payment processors such as PayPal - which is great
because it means that you'll usually receive your reward much faster.
Again, the important thing is that you'll be presented with the details
before each survey and you decide if you want to participate or not. If you
do, you'll provide your payment info as part of the survey process.
Once you get going and are constantly receiving payments in the mail and via
PayPal it's great!

If Cash4Canadians - Paid Surveys 123 is absolutely free, how do you make any
money?
People are always asking us how can Cash4Canadians - Paid Surveys 123 be
free when there are lots of seemingly similar sites out there that charge
upfront "membership" fees. Just to be perfectly clear, Cash4Canadians - Paid
Surveys 123 is and always has been completely free. We will NEVER ask or
require you to pay us or buy anything from us.
We make money when our users take surveys. It really is as simple as that.
We don't sell anything.
If a business comes to us and wants to send a survey to 50,000 of our users,
they will pay us a fee that depends on the type of survey, etc. We will then
pay our members the majority of that money in return for taking the survey,
and keep a small percentage for ourselves as our profit. Everyone wins!

My schedule is pretty hectic, can I do this whenever I want?
Yes! That is probably the best part about surveys and why it's the easiest
way for the average person to make some extra cash. It's perfect for
everyone because you decide when and how much you want to "work" at any
given time. You can do it completely at your own pace.
Have an extra 30 minutes in the morning before heading off to work? Do you
have a few hours available in the afternoon while the kids are out playing?
Or maybe it's 2am and for some reason you can't sleep? These are all perfect
times to jump online and do surveys and get paid!
On the other hand, maybe you get busy with other things and don't have any
time to do surveys for awhile. That's perfectly fine! It's not like there's
a boss breathing down your neck, or you have to worry about getting fired.
You can do surveys when it's convenient for YOU.

10. I'm concerned about privacy issues. Should I worry about this?
As long as you stick to the "legitimate" market research companies, such as
Cash4Canadians - Paid Surveys 123 and our partners listed in our Special
Report, you will not have a problem in this regard. For one simple reason
...
Market research companies know that people like you are the lifeblood of
their business. They are usually paid by large corporations to conduct
surveys on their behalf, but without consumers like you to take their
surveys they would be out of business in a hurry. It's simple economics.
For this reason, the market research companies take consumers' privacy very
seriously. If word got out that a certain market research company was
misusing a consumer's personal information or violating their privacy in
other ways, they wouldn't be in business very long.
Generally you'll be asked to provide basic information about where you live,
what you do for a living, etc. in order to build your personal "profile".
This is market research companies know which surveys to send you. But you
never have to provide any information you are not comfortable giving out.
Each company has their own specific privacy policy, and if you are curious
or concerned about a specific companies' policy you can read it at their
website. Here at Cash4Canadians - Paid Surveys 123 we do not, have not, and
will not ever give your personal information to anyone. For more information
please see our Privacy Policy.

11. Do I need to fit a certain "profile" to take surveys successfully?
Everything about you - where you live, whether you have a job or go to
school, what kind of car you drive, whether you are single or married, etc.
- makes up your personal "profile".
And this profile is what market research companies use to match you up with
the surveys and focus groups that are most applicable to you. After all,
there's no sense in wasting anyone's time by sending you a survey about
things you have no interest in or experience with.
While your "profile" is one of the most important factors that will
determine the type and number of survey invitations you receive, there is no
such thing as a "good" or "bad" profile. Each and every person simply has a
different profile, as everyone in the world is a little different.
It doesn't matter if you are single or married, have a job or stay at home
with the kids, drive a car or ride a bike, flunked out of school or have a
Master's degree - because everyone's opinions are valuable to the market
research companies and the clients that hire them.
So the short answer is "no" - you do not need to worry about fitting a
certain profile in order to get paid for your opinions. If you are at least
18 years old and live in the US or Canada, this is for you.

What can I do to make sure I receive all my survey invitations?
As you can imagine, it's very important that we have a valid email address
on file for you - otherwise you will miss important paid surveys
invitations.
Also, please note that we do NOT respond to email "challenge" requests.
These are systems implemented by some email providers that usually require
the sender of an email to visit a special webpage and type in a random
string of letters and/or numbers, used to help prevent spam.
We understand these systems may be helpful to people who receive a lot of
spam, however, due to the huge number of members we have we're simply unable
to respond to these requests.
To ensure you receive our emails, please do not submit an email that
requires a "challenge" response.
Unfortunately, spam filters oftentimes block legitimate email that you want
to receive. You should also add our email paidsurveys123@cash4canadians.com
to your address book, and also any "approved sender" or "whitelist" that
your system uses to prevent our emails from being blocked accidentally.

What about taxes on the money I make? How does that work?
If you're a U.S. citizen, you'll be considered an "independent contractor"
for income tax purposes and no income or other taxes are withheld from the
payments you receive.
At the end of the year, any survey company that has paid you $600 or more
will send you an IRS Form 1099 - and you're supposed to include this as
"miscellaneous income" on your tax return.
If you are not a U.S. citizen, you will need to ask an accountant or other
tax professional for the answer to this question, and how it might apply to
you in your location.
Please note that we are not accountants and are not qualified to provide
accounting, tax, or other legal advice. Our answer is based on our
understanding of the tax laws, and how we handle this situation ourselves.
Always check with your accountant or other tax professional.
