Survey side hustle from home and make real money!
Real survey sites available to Aussies which I use and make real money.
Survey sites could be considered as one of the easiest side hustles out there, however they can also be hit and miss. In this blog I wanted to talk about how to profit from survey sites.
Now, survey sites are all about persistence. Some pay small amounts and others pay relatively large amounts but the more surveys you complete, the more opportunities the survey companies present you with to earn more money. Survey sites rely on active, contributing members to fill their quota. This means that the more reliable you are at accepting and completing their surveys, screeners and making sure your profile is up to date, the more likely they are to want to work with you. There are other factors at play and what you are offered is determined by the information found in your profile so always answer honestly and to the best of your ability.
Some survey's, for example, will be looking for renters so if you have a mortgage you will automatically screen out, however depending on the company, that does not necessarily mean that you won't get rewarded. It is good to note that you will screen out of more survey's than you will complete, however I refer back to the importance of persistence.

Pure Profile is similar to Octopus Group offering Cash, Gift Cards, Movie Tickets, Online Payments and Discounts as incentive for completing their surveys. They have a user friendly interface and also offer an App. They offer rewards for your time so if you happen to screen out, you are still rewarded depending on how far you complete the survey before screening out. You can only cash out $70 every 60 days and will be paid within 30 business days. However, the option of Gift Cards are redeemed instantly to your inbox. You can redeem movie passes with Hoyts and these are instant as well.
