Psst! Have you just started taking surveys? It’s a great way to earn money. A lot of people just like you are doing it, to bring in additional income. So whether you want to save for that fun family vacation at a popular theme park or pay for something you’ve always wanted, that survey cash really adds up.

We’re about to share something exciting with you: 7 helpful tips to bring in more cash when taking your surveys. So get ready and pay attention, because it could mean more dollars in your pocket.

Don’t delete your cookies (too often). Okay, I know that most of the time you want to keep your computer super clean. But did you know that cookies can actually help you with your surveys? They can auto-fill out some of the forms for you, making the process a lot quicker. They can remember passwords so your sign-in is speedy. They also will automatically know specific URLs (always bookmark them too!).

Save passwords for sites. If you only do 1 tip, it’s this one. To be successful at surveys, you’ll be signed up at quite a few survey sites. One password “secret” is to consider using a couple of passwords (like 3 to 5) specifically for your survey site use. Take a word processing document or a spreadsheet a list all of the sites along with each password, you’ll be glad you did when you’re trying to fly through answering surveys one day.

Be well-organized. This is what separates those who succeed at surveys and the people who only make a couple of dollars every once in a while. Your survey taking needs to have structure and order. One of the top benefits is just how flexible it is, that you can do it at any time. But you need to take charge and organize it so it fits your schedule and lifestyle like a glove. Create online folders and documents just for your survey information, so you’ve got everything in one place.

Track your earnings. Now it can get tricky when you’re making survey money $5 or $10 at a time, watching it come in bit by bit. But one of the terrific things is that most companies pay you by PayPal, which has a very well organized Statement section where you’ll easily see your earnings and can add them up. Understanding what you have coming in is critical so you can account for it when tax time comes each year. But it also will motivate you as you do more and more surveys.

Challenge yourself to do more. This is a great thing you can do. We’ve mentioned that surveys as online work are always so flexible and that’s one of the reasons they are very popular with many different types of people. So once you’ve got your “sea legs” and understand how surveys work, it is time to step up to a new level and push yourself to answer more of them, sign up for more sites. We know you’ll be pleased with the results when you see the cash in your wallet.

Stay alert when answering surveys. It’s easy to feel relaxed when answering surveys. After all, you are probably home and just answering with your opinions about things. But make sure you give correct answers to each question, that you aren’t so relaxed that you wind up checking the wrong boxes or answers.

Set a reward goal for your survey cash. This is a great thing you can do with your survey taking business. It also can be tremendously motivating! Cut out a picture of those shoes you’ve always wanted and keep it near your computer. Know that you’ll soon be walking around in them, once you’ve answered enough surveys. We recommend starting with smaller goals so you can really touch, taste and feel the results and then go after bigger goals too!
