Receiving surveys:
1. Notifications: The panelist receives email notifications informing him/her of the availability of new surveys in which he/she can participate. It is important to be responsive in order to be able to participate in the notified survey while it is available.
2. Match: The surveys offered match the panelist's profile, increasing the chances that they will answer the questions thoughtfully and completely. That's why it's best to complete your panelist profile 100%.
Participation in surveys:
1. Selection: The panelist selects a survey that interests him/her from those available in his/her member area and clicks on it to access it.
2. Questionnaire: The panelist answers survey questions, which may be multiple choice, open-ended, or rating scales. A careful reading of all questions is important.
3. Duration: The duration of a survey generally varies from 5 to 20 minutes, but some can be longer. The remuneration offered will therefore be higher.
Compensation and rewards:
1. Accumulation of points: For each survey completed, the panelist receives points or credits. A bonus for ineligibility for a survey is sometimes offered by certain partners.
2. Payout Thresholds: Once a certain threshold of points is reached, the panelist can redeem them for cash, gift certificates or other rewards.
3. Payment Methods: Payments are usually made through PayPal, bank transfer or gift cards. Most popular paid survey sites usually always offer multiple payment methods.
