Paid Online Surveys and What Beginners Should Expect

Many of us who have been looking for legitimate ways to make money online have been burned at least once. There are bruised egos and holes in the pockets where money used to be before we sent that hard earned cash to that sneaky, dishonest work at home company. After learning the hard way that finding real income generating opportunities can take time and a fair amount of effort, those who have lost money started looking for something different that required no money to join.

There are lots of amp;lt;a title=amp;quot;Paid Online Survey Companiesamp;quot; href=amp;quot;http://internetmarketingedu.com/paid-surveys/amp;quot; target=amp;quot;_selfamp;quot;amp;gt;amp;lt;strongamp;gt;paid online survey companiesamp;lt;/strongamp;gt;amp;lt;/aamp;gt; that pay registered users to give opinions about products and services. It’s not particularly time consuming and is a good way to put some extra dollars in your bank account. Many of the survey sites online are legitimate and completely risk free, but there are others that are shady. Here are some tips to avoid the bad ones that won’t pay you.

Never send money to sign up for a paid online survey site. You should be making money, not giving it away. It doesn’t make any sense to pay them because there are so many free ones. Also, if they promise extraordinary amounts of money by just taking amp;lt;a title=amp;quot;Paid Online Surveysamp;quot; href=amp;quot;http://internetmarketingedu.com/paid-surveys/amp;quot; target=amp;quot;_selfamp;quot;amp;gt;amp;lt;emamp;gt;paid online surveysamp;lt;/emamp;gt;amp;lt;/aamp;gt;, something is wrong. Think about it. If they really paid thousands of dollars each week just for completing surveys everyone would be quitting their jobs.

In order to make respectable amounts of cash register for more than one survey site. It’s important to note that not all of them will reward you with real money. Some sites will pay you with vouchers and coupons which can be traded at specific stores. When you are just starting to take surveys try to complete them even if they are not offering that much money. The more you do the more surveys you’ll be invited to complete.

Even if you are not interested in the ones that involve sweepstakes entries or points that can be exchanged for prizes, don’t ignore these completely. You might get the chance to try some products for free.

You might be wondering where to find the ones that will not rip you off. It’s quite simple. All you need to do is to look for a website that is well designed and easy to navigate. If there is a privacy policy page then that is good news. It contains information about how exactly your e-mail address will be used and how your personal details will be shared.

It’s even better if a survey site has a forum where existing members can communicate with one another. It will help to confirm the legitimacy of the site. Last but not least, see if there is a contact form on the website. A phone number, the name of the site owner, an administrator or just a contact form will be a good sign. Sites that don’t have this should be avoided.

What kinds of amp;lt;a title=amp;quot;Paid Online Surveysamp;quot; href=amp;quot;http://internetmarketingedu.com/paid-surveys/amp;quot; target=amp;quot;_selfamp;quot;amp;gt;amp;lt;strongamp;gt;paid online surveysamp;lt;/strongamp;gt;amp;lt;/aamp;gt; can you expect to get in your mailbox? There are focus groups that pay relatively well but these are few and far between. You may only get one or two of these in a year, or none at all. Product testing is a great bonus when they send something to your door for you to test and then pay for your opinion. The easy to complete surveys can pay as little as twenty-five cents and as much as fifty dollars. You can pick and choose at your discretion. Remember to sign up for multiple sites to make more money. Happy huntinglt;centergt;lt;pgt;lt;font size=’1’gt;lt;igt;#900lt;/igt;lt;/fontgt;lt;/pgt;lt;/centergt;

Best Home Business For 2011: Numis or XAG Network?

If you are new to Network Marketing, or have been away from the industry for some years, you should be very wary of jumping into anything where everybody gets excited, then quits soon after signing up in your downline.

Here are two guiding criteria I recommend you follow:
The opportunity has to be so simple that people can swiftly turn around and share it with confidence.
It has to reimburse people very well in their opening month.

If you don’t get both of these things in a business there is no point in looking any further.  So I checked out  both the Numis Network and amp;lt;a href=amp;quot;http://xagnetwork.com/index.php?spon=3687amp;quot; target=amp;quot;_blankamp;quot;amp;gt;amp;lt;strongamp;gt;XAG Networkamp;lt;/strongamp;gt;amp;lt;/aamp;gt;, and these are my observations.

amp;lt;strongamp;gt;MARKETINGamp;lt;/strongamp;gt;

Numis really do have their act together. Websites, systems, marketing, all well done. The co-founder, Mike Mezak, is from the world of the TV Shopping Channels.

XAG Network is not as visually imposing, but easy and straightforward, which I think is important. Not a lot of buildup, but the promotion tools are developing, and it seems they are receiving traction and attracting several qualified leaders.

When it comes to marketing, Numis wins hands down at present, but the chronicle isn’t over yet. If you slice though the packaging and look for substance XAG wins in scores of ways, but I understand why for many Numis win on the matter of advertising. For the time being!

amp;lt;strongamp;gt;VALUEamp;lt;/strongamp;gt;

An knowledgeable collector would never bother with the Numis coins. The grading company Numis uses is the least attractive, as compared to PCGS and NGC. The featured Numis MS70’s might only get graded as MS68-69 by a more well thought-of grader, and be worth $30 to $70 max. It has been suggested that Numis must be buying van loads of them at a cost a great deal less than the price they promote them for. Millions of these coins are made; so much for rarity.

On the other hand, XAG lets you purchase coins and bullion amp;quot;at near Silver spot price amp;quot;. So far not a solitary person who asked for a quotation has reported that they found a better deal somewhere else. Other dealers have said that they cannot compete with the XAG business model.  My strategy is to introduce people who desire to be paid money so they can then make a purchase of precious metals at the best price, as well as those who are enthusiastic buyers already. So for me, XAG wins hands down on the point of Value. Even if XAG did not exist, I still would not sign up Numis.
amp;lt;strongamp;gt;
WHY NOT?amp;lt;/strongamp;gt;

Numis costs $495 at the Executive level. One MS70 coin included, plus a plastic collector case and marketing systems. XAG at present costs about $46, and pays on eight levels of a 5 X 8 Matrix and one Canadian Maple Leaf 1oz silver coin is included.  $46 is a much simpler buying decision, and I think people will better appreciate what they get for it. So for me, XAG wins on this feature.

amp;lt;strongamp;gt;ONGOING COSTSamp;lt;/strongamp;gt;

Numis has an autoship ($99.95/month + shipping) plus ~ $9.95 / month for websites. amp;lt;a href=amp;quot;http://xagnetwork.com/index.php?spon=3687amp;quot; target=amp;quot;_blankamp;quot;amp;gt;XAG Networkamp;lt;/aamp;gt;- just $46.

amp;lt;strongamp;gt;FAST STARTamp;lt;/strongamp;gt;

Let’s look at the Numis and XAG Network Fast-Start offer.

Numis pays $100 for referring a sale, so look for how many sales it takes to break even. Every business should have positive cash flow, AND it’s a dilemma if it does not. Let’s say the coin and the case are assets worth $100. So you must make $400 to break even and to begin profits. And, you must earn the $400 before your autoship kicks in a couple of times, presuming that sooner or later you’ll conclude the actual worth of what you’re receiving on that autoship is not justifiable to you.
Yes, Numis has a coded bonus structure too but, unless you are sponsoring quite a few and seeing duplication, it’s not what you would consider part of the amp;quot;fast startamp;quot; money – unless you are a high-class networker.
XAG: The coins shipped to you are worth $29 or so. Net cost about $15. Four sales and you break even. No other costs.
More points to XAG. Mike Peever understands the importance of the word amp;quot;fastamp;quot; in Fast Start Bonus. I’d say XAG. would be at least two times as rapid as Numis to get to affirmative cash flow in an average situation, and the simplicity and buying decision factors might improve that to three or four times.

amp;lt;strongamp;gt;
THE BEST OF THE COMPENSATION PLANamp;lt;/strongamp;gt;

This is the age of Frankenstein compensation plans that take pieces from every comp plan out there and stitch them together. They call them amp;quot;hybridsamp;quot;, and amp;quot;the most lucrative in the history.
Your best bet is to check out the first page of a comp plan and pretty much ignore the remainder. The first page is fundamentally what will determine attrition. All considered, the remainder of the Numis comp plan rapidly becomes beside the point. Here’s why:
It is not bad compared to many and has a lot of features for leaders. The coded bonus is pretty attractive. But again, since the great bulk of people will never access the advanced features of a complex comp plan,  you should center strictly on what most people’s experience will be in the company.
In Numis it’s hard to visualize most people getting much beyond the fast starts and binary before they give up or their networks erode away.

XAG pays you on 8 levels and multiplies by 5 each level of the matrix. That’s it. There is nothing else to understand, no hoops to jump through, no endless qualifiers, no strong leg / pay leg uncertainty. They have a 59-second description. Mike Peever worked as admin and comp plan programmer for many years. He saw the trends towards difficulty, and has referred to it as amp;quot;smoke and mirrorsamp;quot;. He created XAG to give people an substitute to industry hype.  No money is spread about to highly developed features; it all remains in the matrix – where everyone has quick admittance.
So for me, XAG is the only choice. Keep it uncomplicated! Done. Pay new people properly so they don’t get dispirited! Done.
amp;lt;strongamp;gt; amp;lt;/strongamp;gt;

amp;lt;a href=amp;quot;http://xagnetwork.com/index.php?spon=3687amp;quot; target=amp;quot;_blankamp;quot;amp;gt;amp;lt;strongamp;gt;TAKE ADVANTAGE.amp;lt;/strongamp;gt;amp;lt;/aamp;gt;

Numis Network will get big based on marketing to people who are not clued-up about coins, but who are eager for an break. From May 23rd to Jun 10th a dependable average of only 22 people per day joined Numis. With over 10,700 signed up since last summer, how many can actually still be working it? Draw your own conclusion.

However, Numis did get 1000’s of network marketers animated about precious metals again, so take advantage and join amp;lt;a href=amp;quot;http://xagnetwork.com/index.php?spon=3687amp;quot; target=amp;quot;_blankamp;quot;amp;gt;XAG Networkamp;lt;/aamp;gt; today, and make it your foremost money-maker for 2011.

Gaining Network Marketing Leads

When it comes to gaining network advertising leads you need to be prepared to put in some work. Mainly because there are a great deal of methods to acquire these leads, however it takes a strategy and a plan that will continue to feed you these leads.

Just as the name implies, these leads are brought about through your networking. And when it comes through your own networks that implies you might be marketing or branding your self in such a way that makes yourself attractable to those you wish to sell too.

Mainly because whether or not you know it or not, marketing is individual, and it’s associated to you. When you own a small to medium size company they’re buying or doing organization with you, and not usually your product. Or at least at the starting stages of the networking.

They’re going to give you their information and facts mainly because they trust you sufficient to do so.

One business I began grew to 150 employees just out of network advertising leads. Folks were giving me the organization simply because I was often there and willing to do whatever it took. As we grew I was acquiring new leads because of those relationships, and also because of the high quality of work that we performed.

As the social networks grow and take shape, this is becoming even more and far more the case. Folks can Google your name and instantly figure out whether or not they need to do business with you. In the event you have images all over the location showing you in a non favorable light, then you possibly be leaving loads of dollars on the table. Because in terms of Seo and gathering network marketing leads through social marketing, your profile and on the internet presence plays a enormous part.
