Stay at home moms usually could use some extra cash. Most don't know that they are the perfect candidates for surveys to take about products they use in their home every day. It's simple and fast - most surveys take less than 20 minutes - and there's no obligation. Just answer the questions and get paid!

If your household is like most, you as the mom are doing a majority of the shopping. This means that you have to make daily decisions about what products will serve you and your family the best - and which ones will fit your budget! This actually makes you kind of a shopping expert.

Companies who manufacture the products you buy want to know which ones you prefer, what other things you buy, and how happy you are with the items that are available. They need this information so badly that you can get paid taking surveys that provide them with your opinion! The research is always ongoing, meaning there is never a shortage of surveys to take.

The main step towards getting paid taking surveys is to register with a survey site - or more than one! This should be free, so don't let anyone trick you into paying to sign up for surveys to take. Survey sites are already being paid for connecting the company with would be survey takers, so they should be eager to offer you the opportunity.

You have to be registered to receive surveys to take. Make sure you sign up with a legitimate survey site - if they ask you to pay THEM money, they are probably a scam! You will need a username and a password for secure login. Make these simple so you can remember them. DON'T use a password you use for any of your personal or financial information!

You should receive a confirmation email that will verify your registration. If you are signing up for multiple sites, you should keep a list - clicking on links in unfamiliar emails can crash your computer, so you will want to be sure it comes from a site you signed up with. Once you are confirmed with the survey site you will be eligible to receive surveys to take.

After you are registered, you will probably be asked to fill out some profiles. The survey site will use these to qualify you for surveys to take. When they find a survey you appear to qualify for, they will send you an email inviting you to login and take the survey!

You might not make a huge amount per survey at first, but if you complete every survey you receive you will become known as a serious survey candidate and you will start being invited to participate in the more lucrative surveys. Continue to respond in a professional, timely manner, and you will continue getting surveys to take for a long time!
