Why would anyone pay you to take a survey?

Three reasons:

1. All new product design, advertising campaigns and marketing strategies of big companies depends on knowing and understanding consumer opinion. The consumer is king, financially rewarding companies who offer what the consumer wants by buying that product. 2. To understand consumer preferences, wants, needs and perceptions, they hire market researchers to find out and tell them. One of the primary tools used to measure consumer opinion is consumer surveys which are used extensively in market research. 3. These surveys are funded by the companies that want the information. Market researchers have the budget, and they have found that one of the best ways to get consumers to participate in their surveys is to offer cash or other rewards in exchange for filling out the survey questionnaires.

How much can you make by taking online surveys for cash?

It all depends on how many survey companies you register with, to offer your services, on you demographics and on how diligently you persue the business.
