i. keep in mind

1. as the name implies, survey apps are apps/sites where you can answer surveys about products or services and get paid for it. wala kang need bayaran upfront kaya sinubukan ko siya2. this is only good for extra money, not a job replacement!3. this guide is based on my personal experience. what works for me may not work the same way for everyone. use this guide as a starting point, not a guaranteed formula <3

ii. what to expect

as i have said, this is only good for extra pocket money. helpful siya especially for students and fresh grads like me who needs extra cash for necessities, gala, and other expenses.earnings
my first cashout took me only one day to get ₱200. and in my first 3 weeks, i earned ₱3,000! partida busy pa ako nyan sa board exam

survey availability + screening
expect to get screened out or disqualified A LOT. kung maikli pasensya mo, this is not for you. look for a job instead if you want a stable income.dito kasi may mga araw na ₱5 to ₱30 lang maeearn mo. but there are days where you can earn upto ₱250! it really depends sa ilalabas na surveys and sa tiyaga mo sa pagcheck.doing this takes about 1-3 hrs of my day which includes checking the apps + answering the surveys.

iii. terms you should know

"SO" screened out. your demographics don't match what they survey is looking for"DQ" disqualified. your demographics or one of your answers in the survey don't match what they survey is looking for"demo"/"demog" demographics. basic info about yourself such as age, gender, location, education, hobbies, job, income, etc. surveys use these to determine if you fit their target audience"CO" cashout. withdrawing a certain amount of money using points you earned doing surveys

i. how to start

1. make a paypal account. the apps i'll share later all have cashout options for paypal only (or as gift cards), pero meron naman other apps na pwede gcash.2. in your notes app, build a believable demographic profile that you will stick to (more info on demographics below). use that note for reference when answering surveysoptional: use a dedicated email for survey apps

ii. apps i use

GrabPoints
the first survey app i ever used. steady amount of surveys naman based on my experience and siguro dahil na rin sa demo ko.minimum cashout $3 = 3000 pointson my first day, nakakuha ako 1020 points from registration and 1560 points from surveys (total: 2580). i only had to do 1-3 more surveys para maka cashout.

cashout options paypal, gift cards (jollibee, kfc, grab, etc. check the full list of payout options here)

ZoomBucks
second site i used. this has the same network as GP. so if naanswer mo na yung specific survey sa GP, automatic SO/DQ ka na if lumabas din dito and vice versa. pero minsan nakakalusot namanminimum cashout $3 = 3000 pointson my first day, nakakuha ako ng 1020 points from registration and 2570 points from surveys (total: 3590). so i had enough to cashout $3 agad sa unang araw palang

Meta ViewPoints
ang tunay na passive income, micro tasks lang. although this one depends for everyone. usually, mas mabilis makaipon ng points pag iOS user ka.minimum cashout $3 = 1000 pointsin my case, nakakuha ako ng 2 programs. one program had a daily task na nagbibigay ng 250 points. the other program has a weekly task na nagbibigay ng 250 points (although for 1 month lang siya).i accumulated 2000 points in my first week so i got $6. and in my case, i can get $3 every 4 days kaya it's passive income for me.

cashout options paypal, gift cards. check the full list of payout options hereyou can search for the app and download it through the app store or play store.

iii. demographics

your demo matters a LOT sa survey apps.it depends pa rin on what companies are looking for, but i noticed that the profiles that get more surveys are usually either• active consumers / online shoppers
• active sa social media
• makes all the purchasing decisions
• nagttravel
• may car
• have kids
• degree holderspero pinaka importante pa rin talaga is consistency. if pabago-bago answers mo across apps and surveys, possible na maflag account mo and SO/DQ agad in future surveys.also, wag niyo pillin ang industries na related to marketing, advertising, market research, or media/public relations as your job. surveys screenout those profiles more often.you also don't need to overcomplicate your profile. sometimes a simple and realistic profile works better than trying to make yourself look super rich or “perfect” for surveys.mine personally is just an average profile consistent with my age and lifestyle, and i still get a steady amount of surveys naman.

tips that may help

demographics
for tips on demographics, click hereabout screening
over time, magegets mo kung anong demo ang hanap ng survey based sa choices/wording nila. some surveys target students, parents, gamers, iphone users, etc.may times din na need ng survey ay magsagot ka sa laptop/computer dahil may parts ng surveys nila na hindi gumagana nang maayos on mobile, and you'll be screened out if nagsagot ka on your phone. although there's no way to know beforehand kung anong device ang need ng survey :( just hope na lumabas ulit yung survey na yon sa susunodagain, getting screened out often is normal. kailangan ulit-ulitin kasi dito lagi nag ggive up ang mga taoanswering tips
also make sure to not answer quickly! spend a few seconds on each page kahit alam mo na yung sagotalways answer na ikaw yung decision maker when buying things, walang kahatifor questions na need magtype ng sagot, never paste an answer. you always have to type it in and make sure it's long and detailed. 1 long sentence is fine, 2-3 sentences would also do. it's also fine to answer in taglish or pure tagalogfor questions na nakalagay is "do you or any of your relatives work in these industries" tapos ang choices is marketing, advertising, media/public relations, etc., always choose NO/NONEcheck apps regularly
• surveys can disappear quickly pag nareach agad ang quota
• some apps are dry on certain days, especially tuwing weekendsavoid getting flagged/banned
• don't use vpns and adblockers on survey sites
• don't rush surveys
• avoid changing demographic answers too often

i. surveys / demo

"walang lumalabas na surveys"
yes it's normal hehe. kaya need ng constant checking sa app, mga every 1-2 hrs. kung may lumabas man eh usually around 1-4 surveys at a time tas tiyempo lang kung alin pasok sa demo mo, minsan wala pa HAHAHA.***"best income range for demo?"
honestly walang one right answer diyan kasi iba-iba ang target ng bawat survey. minsan low income hanap, minsan C-level income.pero i think just search for an income range na common for your chosen work para mas believable***"lagi naman akong DQ/SO"
hard truth pero ganon talaga! hindi naman lahat ng survey ay catered sa demo mo. besides, a lot of people probably have the same or similar demo kaya naaabot agad ang quota ng responses for that demo.also, there are days na wala talaga masyadong surveys, especially on weekends. but then there are also days na biglang magkaka high paying surveys na pasok sa demo mo.sabi ko nga kanina, if you want a stable income, get a job instead. this is only for side money, something you only do in your free time.

ii. cashout

"need ba same ang email sa paypal at sa survey app?"
no need! pwedeng magkaiba.kapag nagcclaim ka naman, itatanong lang ulit ano paypal email mo para doon isend yung pera.***"hindi pa rin pumapasok cashout ko"
check your email or spam folder, you have to claim your cashout there. if pagcheck mo wala pa rin, they might be reviewing your account.that happened to me sa unang cashout ko sa zoombucks which took like 4-5 hours bago ko makuha yung email for claiming. pero after non, puro instant na yung pagemail nila sa akin.
