Completing Online Surveys For Prizes


by Casey Trillbar

Many online survey companies today offer the chance to be entered into prize drawings for completing surveys on their website. Though the chances for winning some prizes may be relatively low, there are some methods anyone can use to increase their odds of winning a prize.

Completing Surveys

Logically, an online survey website will expect users to complete surveys to obtain rewards points or drawing entries. Many websites will send e-mails when a matching survey becomes available. Take advantage of these updates and take every survey that is offered. Even if a survey doesn't look like something you would be eligible for, many websites still offer a small prize drawing for anyone that attempted the survey but was not found to be eligible.

Submitting Profile Information

Complete as much profile information as possible for online survey websites. This allows the website to select groups of individuals targeted for specific surveys. These types of surveys usually often offer more compensation than usual, but also generally require more time as well. Some companies choose to use short surveys to obtain this information, while others have online forms to complete. Either way, complete all of the profile information possible to ensure access to as many survey opportunities as possible.

Daily Drawings

Daily prize drawings generally have the least competition of all prize drawings. After all, who wouldn't prefer a fancy new car over a prize of $25? With this in mind, most people will use their rewards points towards more valuable prizes. By using points on less valuable prizes, there is a much more significant chance of winning a prize.

Also consider the day of the week of the daily prize draw. Since most people work traditional work days, they have less time on these days to participate in non- essential activities such as online surveys. Therefore, the best days to try to win a daily prize are Monday through Thursday, rather than popular weekend days.

Saving Points

Whether aiming for daily, weekly, or monthly prizes, it can be extremely beneficial to save up points before spending them for entries. Set a specific goal of points to save before spending them for prize drawing entries, and stick to it. When entering a prize drawing, use as many points as possible to drastically increase the chances of winning.

Have Patience

Even for those lucky enough to win a prize the first time they try, patience is of the utmost importance for anyone looking to win prizes from online survey sites. It can literally take weeks or even a few months before a winner is notified, and even longer before the prize is obtained. This is particularly common for prizes that are difficult to ship or are extremely valuable. Since there is generally a good deal of competition to win prizes, it is necessary to have patience, knowing that luck is part of the equation as well.

Completing online surveys for prizes can result in winning some amazing items or even cash. However, it is important to keep in mind that chance is also an important factor. If online surveys are something you truly enjoy, the possibility of winning a prize is just icing on the cake.
