Surveys can be an excellent way to make money online, especially if you live in the United States. However, most everyone who takes surveys feels frustrated about not qualifying for more surveys or perhaps not even getting enough invitations, at least from time to time. There is no perfect remedy to this issue -- I strongly suspect that even the most successful survey takers in the world fail to qualify for most surveys they try to take. Nonetheless, I feel that there is one relatively easy way most anyone can maximize their survey earning potential: complete your profiles!
Profiles contain the information that survey sites need to match you up with surveys suited to you. Some sites have bare profiles that just ask for the most basic information, like your location and gender. Others have literally pages and pages of profiles that can take quite a lot of time to complete. To be honest, filling out profiles isn't my favorite thing...they're like taking surveys and not getting paid for them. However, in my experience filling out profiles pays off in the long run. You get more surveys and, even better, more targeted surveys that you are more likely to qualify for. It won't always lead to great things, of course. I'm a member of a couple of survey companies whose profiles I have filled out and kept updated yet they've never sent me a single survey! That's definitely not my usual experience, but it can happen, especially if you join the smaller survey sites.
How often should you update your profiles? I personally try to update them at least once a year and recently finished up this year's "campaign." If something big happens in your life, you should update your profiles pretty quickly -- market researchers want to know all about your first baby or that new car you just bought. Even negative things like being diagnosed with a medical condition are worth an update.
