- 1). Select a legitimate survey company that focuses on fast food or retail companies and create a user account. There are several paid survey providers located in the “Resources” section. Avoid working with companies that ask for your bank account information. Reputable companies will either send you a check of send funds to your PayPal account. To set up your account, you will need to provide some basic information about yourself such as your name, address, age and payment preferences. You will also need to choose a user name and password to access your account.
- 2). Set up a PayPal account. Many companies disburse payments through this secure online service. If the company(s) that you choose to work with sends payments by check, you can avoid this step. However, paper checks are rare since they add substantial business costs for the company. You can set up a PayPal account by visiting the PayPal website and entering your name, address, phone number and email address. You will need to choose a separate user name and password to access this service. To accept payments from a survey, company you will need to enter the email address that you registered with PayPal into your user account.
- 3). Complete surveys to accumulate earn money. Some surveys only require you to answer a series of short answer or multiple choice questions. Other require you to sign up for promotional or trial offers from credit cards, magazines and other product distributors to earn cash. You may need to provide credit information to sign up for certain promotional offers. Be aware that once a trial offer expires, your credit card may be charged for the continued use of a service. Keep track of the time limits for all trial offers that you sign up for with a credit card. Opt out of the service before the trial period ends to avoid charges. Opting out sometimes requires sending a written notice that you wish to discontinue using the service or visiting the company’s website and unsubscribing.
