Company Review: TechSay

Sunday, April 8th, 2012

Company Review: TechSayMy last company review, Cash Crate was the center of the discussion. Today’s company review, I will focus on an online information technology survey company, TechSay.

TechSay is a community of programmers, managers, technical managers and executives who work in the IT or technology industries and who have a significant impact on their companies’ operations regarding hardware, software, database, systems, process or management-related topics.

While many online survey providers lack credibility, TechSay is a part of GMI (Global Market Insite, Inc.), a global market research solutions provider that serves 1,400 clients in 60 countries. Their clients include 21 of the world’s top 25 market research firms and corporations interested in your opinions on IT trends.

But not everyone can join with TechSay. They are targeting people who work in IT/Development or people who are involved in technology purchase decisions at work.

With TechSay you can directly influence the direction of products related to your field, expertise and interests. For each completed survey you will receive points (a minimum of 200) worth minimum $10 USD. Once your points reach 1000 you can redeem it for $50 USD paid in your local currency.

Payment here at TechSay is obviously more than most other online survey sites. This is due to the fact that they’re targeting a niche segment so their target market is drastically reduced. Surveys are not going to come to you daily with this site but when they do come they pay well, so if you fall into their niche segment why not join now and help with the future of your work‐field. Membership is free and payment is by cheque.

Things You Should Not Forget When Taking Your First Online Survey

Thursday, October 6th, 2011

Paid surveyI already gave you tips and tricks to make money through online survey and how to avoid those online survey scams. Done discussing to you the essential information you need such as on finding legal survey companies, what focus group is, as well as it different types, about mystery shopping and being mystery shopper plus the supplies or material you need in the process of mystery shopping and a lot lot more.

Now, I will introduce you more to the world of online survey, specifically on the things you shouldn’t forget when taking your first paid online survey.

You have all the opportunity to take you very first paid online survey after you complete signing up with legal survey companies. The thing you should not forget are as follows:

  • Take your time. Surveys don’t have a time limit, so feel free to take as long as you need to complete them. Most surveys do tell you beforehand how much time you can expect to spent on each survey, such as 5-10 minutes, or 30-45 minutes. This does not mean you will get in trouble for taking more or even less time than expected.
  • Read each question carefully and completely. Sometimes there will be a question that is there only to test you. Survey companies want to make sure you are reading each question and giving your honest opinion, and they are paying you for your answers. Example question that may ask may be the same question asked to me when once I participated on an online survey: “As a quality assurance measure, we ask that you mark yes and continue on to the next question.” In this particular situation, you should follow the directions exactly. If you weren’t really reading the questions you may have just selected “no” and not realize this question was included. Marking no could disqualify you from completing the survey, and prevent you from earning money for your effort.
  • Be honest. Also be aware that some surveys had hidden timers that let those legal survey companies know exactly how much time you spend on each question or page. If you breeze through just selecting random answers, those legal survey companies may disqualify you based on there being no possibility that you actually had the time to read each question. Legal survey companies are paying you for your honest opinion, so you definitely need to give them their money’s worth.
