SURVEY SAYS I’m a money expert – the side hustle that pays $60 per hour every time with just your phone or laptop, how it works
EVERYONE is looking for a side hustle to make extra cash as prices for everything continue to rise.
Of course, they’re all hoping to find something quick and easy they can do on their own time.
Being able to do it from home is an even better option for those trying to save money on gas or who are lacking transportation.
Mike – who runs the YouTube channel Your Driver Mike – is always looking for something along these lines.
Recently he’s been left without a car, so he had to hunt for some new side hustles.
He shared one of his favorite finds that he can do without a car, and all he needed was his phone.
The survey side hustle
Getting paid for completing surveys is one of the oldest side hustles out there.
Certain companies make it extremely easy to do by letting you choose your own time to sit down for the conversation and letting you do it over the phone from the comfort of your own home.
Mike found two platforms he really enjoys, Respondent and User Testing.
These platforms seek out people to complete video surveys and interviews.
They also offer decent compensation, paying $30 for a 30-minute interview, $60 for an hour, and so on.
It’s up to you to decide what you want to take the surveys on, but there are specific qualifications.
The researchers will approve or deny your application based on things including your knowledge and interest in the subject.
Once you’re approved, Mike said the process of getting set up with a time and date to complete the survey was very straightforward.
Completing the survey
Mike said the actual interview process was very simple and straightforward as well.
He spoke with the interviewer over Zoom and didn’t even have to turn on his camera.
The whole thing was recorded, and two researchers who were not on the screen and didn’t speak were listening in.
None of the questions was anything too crazy.
Mike took a survey on online casino games, so the interviewer asked about which apps he uses, what he usually places bets on, and if he was open to trying new programs.
It’s important to note you won’t be told who the researchers are working for when you’re taking the survey. They can be gathering research for an existing company, a start-up, or something else.
How do you get paid
Getting paid is the biggest thing when it comes to these surveys.
On UserTesting the payment is issued through PayPal seven days after the survey is completed.
Other survey platforms have different payment options.
The pay is reliable and Mike got the exact amount he was promised exactly when he was told it would arrive.
