Paid Surveys Made Simple: Vindale

Vindale Research - The Quick and Clean 
(Not a big fan of dirty today, sorry)


Vindale Research is an online company that takes an interesting approach to market research and online surveys. They advertise payouts of $5 - $75, a rate considerably higher than most competitors and state that customers will be evaluating products and services.

In reality, You may get there one day, but starting off, You'll be making between $0.10 (To complete the profile/demographic questions that most companies expect you to do for free) and $4.00 per survey ($3 is about the average for 20-30 minutes). The more you do, the more surveys you will get invitations to, and the higher they start paying. Lately, I've been getting offers for some that are upwards of $10, for about 30-45 minutes of "work". 

Now, given that I'm a pretty common demographic (non-single, age 20-25 white guy, who rents a home), I don't qualify for about a quarter of the surveys I have attempted so far, But 60-75% Qualified/Offered Ratio is actually pretty good, given the experiences I've had so far. 

Overall, I give this company a 7/10, due to several factors

The Good: 

• The user interface is incredibly simple
• You get paid for your profile/demographic info, which you have to fill out to get survey invites anyway
• Wide range of survey topics
• Cash value of survey is displayed right on the screen BEFORE you start the survey. 
• Regular invites
• Optional offers (about half are free) Can be accepted for more money, or to try out products/services

The Bad:

• None that I can think of at this time, other than the fact that there is no guarantee of a daily survey as You've seen some of these sites give before.
