1. Disqualifications (DQ's). Yes, unfortunately, you will not qualify for every survey - in fact you might qualify for only a 25% of the surveys you receive via e-mail. Not to worry, the ones you get will keep you plenty busy. One annoying thing that occasionally happens is filling out what seems to be a long survey, and then getting DQ'ed. When this happens (and it will), try another survey or two from the company to make sure it's not a consistent problem. Most surveys should DQ you after only a few basic questions, and in a lot of cases, you will still be offered something, such as a sweepstakes entry for your time.
2. Be honest in your responses - don't try to cheat the system. There are a lot of built in safeguards in each individual survey to prevent cheating (and there are a number of ways to cheat) - as well as within the individual company. But none of those safeguards will prevent you from varying your responses from company to company. But know this, inconsistency breed's forgetfulness, which leads to providing answers that don't match on other sites, which leads to bad things.
3. Most survey sites e-mail survey opportunities, but not all, so be sure to check the parent website from time to time for ones you may have missed.
4. Often surveys will provide a time that they estimate it will take to complete a survey. I have consistently found (where video and audio are not involved), that this time is substantially over-estimated. Your mileage may vary. However, do be aware that some survey companies track the time from answer to answer, and will kick you out of the survey if they feel you are 'rushing'.
5. Each site has a threshold for payment. In general, the lower payout thresholds are the best, and most are 5 dollars and lower, but some are 10, and a couple are 50 (one of my favorites has a 50 dollar payout threshold). Still some pay directly to PayPal for each survey completed. A personal tip is to always cash out at the lowest amount you can when it becomes available.
6. When selecting survey sites, be certain to register on all survey sites that pay cash or gift cards - avoiding "sweepstakes only" sites. Surveys do take time to answer and you should be rewarded for your time, not just a chance at compensation. Several sites that were previously sweepstakes only have migrated to cash systems due to lack of participation. Additionally, be aware that a lot of sites offer 'points', instead of an actual dollar amount.
However, these points always translate into money (or products if you choose), so simple division allows you to calculate what that dollar value of any given survey is.
