Anyone can do an online survey, although if its a survey site based in another country, ensure they cater to Australians before starting. As mentioned above, survey sites will take into account your demographic data and only allow you to do online surveys for money which are appropriate for this demographic. This means that some sites will be better than others as an income source for you. This also means that just because your mum/friend/colleague is doing well with one site doesn’t mean that you will too.
Paid surveys in Australia are best suited for people who have small amounts of spare time and would like to make some extra money. Surveys are never going to earn you enough money to quit your day job. At best, people can make around $200 a month and to do that you need to sign up for lots of survey sites, be the right demographic and be serious about it. For most of us, an online survey here and there is a good way to get some extra money for the occasional splurge.
For these reasons, surveys can be a good option for stay at home mums who have some downtime during the day and want a quick and easy way to earn money without bothering with clients, employers, etc. They can also work well for students who have some free time in the holidays or retired people who are happy to complete the occasional survey for money for an extra $50 here and there. It’s important to understand that the return on investment for your time is very low.
This youtube video discusses some American sites from which the presenter is able to make $500-600 a month in an hour or two a day. It can give you an idea of what is involved. It is easier to make more money from this in the USA as there are most survey options.
