Their are really two ways to go about this.  The first is to buy some survey software that will allow you to program the survey yourself, however it takes a fair bit of know how to use these programs.  A well known survey software comapny is listed below. The other option is to hire a survey company to do it for you.  Though this can be more expensive, there is no comparison when it comes to the quality of the survey and the ease of making it, as the companies will literally do everything for you.  A well known, respected online survey company is Infosurv. They usually charge anywhere from $3500 - $6500 for the design, administration, and analysis of an online survey. That price includes survey design consultation and statistical analysis, and the price varies based on the level of results analysis that you need.  Their website is listed below, as well as a link to their brochure, where they actually list their pricing options. I hope this helps. \nhttp://www.infosurv.com\nhttp://www.infosurv.com/brochure.html\nhttp://www.keysurvey.com

Most of those websites that do online surveys don't end up actually making you any money. I have tried a bunch of those kinds of surveys. Some of them will pay you like $5 for an hour of filling out a survey, but you need to fill out a ton of surveys before they even think of sending a check out to you (usually there is a minium amount that you must acquire in order to get the money into your hands.\n\nRather than doing surveys, I owned my own car parts store online. I made a great deal of money. The only downside was the time I put into getting the products out, and also for the fact that they don't really help you out when you are filling out a job application.\n\nDon't forget to choose the Best Answer!\n\n-TORCH

I have participated in several paid surveys, but they always pay by check and not Amazon gift certificates\n\nThe rule, as always, is to stay away from those that ask you to pay before you can get these surveys. \n\nLegitimate market survey companies such as Pinecone Research recruit members based on demographic characteristics -- e.g. mothers of babies 0-12 years old -- and will send surveys of products and services targeting this demographic group. Pinecone Research, however, pays only $5 per survey -- you're definitely not going to be rich with that. They can give you anywhere from 1-5 at most surveys in a month. \n\nOther companies simply ask you to answer as many research as possible, and you don't earn anything just the chance to win at a raffle (which I find lame).\n\nThe article "Earning Money from Surveys" provide a short list of legitimate market research firms and contains explanations of what to look for when joining surveys (and weeding out the fraudulent ones)\nhttp://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol121/onlinesurvey.htm \n\nPinecone Research http://www.pineconeresearch.com\nGreenField Online http://www.greenfieldonline.com \nHarris Poll Online http://www.harrispollonline.com  \nBuzzBack http://www.buzzback.com  \nSurveySite http://www.surveysite.com \nSurveySavvy http://www.surveysavvy.com\nSurvey Spot http://www.surveyspot.com/\nhttp://www.internetpaidsurveys.com/

You should not pay to join survey companies. There are many free sites like http://www.internetpaidsureys.com which list legitimate survey companies. But the earning potential is not great as promoted by these companies which sell survey databases. At best a couple of hundred dollars per month

I've joined several online survey sites that are free, but you will not get an income out of them. In the past 2 years, I have gotten about $120 out of one, a few movies out of another one, and a few other movies from another one. So as good as they make it sound, it's just a cute hobby with cool little incentives, not really a job that can provide you with a good income to support yourself or your family. If you are planning on trying one of those fee to begin surveys, make sure you call them and tell them to refund you if nothing happens. I had to do that three times already, so I gave up on those.

I've reviewed some of the better survey sites I've been paid through here (You're probably going to be skeptical of this...but it's good to be skeptical)\n\nhttp://www.windhavenweb.com/surveys\n\nI list how they pay you, what I like and dislike about them, whether they have an affiliate or referral program, etc.  And yes, I get referral commission for some of them--namely, any that I say have an affiliate program.  The others I don't make anything off. Still, I think it might help you to look through those, since I tell the payment method.  Then you can go to http://www.surveypolice.com (a survey ratings site) and double check how well they rate (a good idea for any site suggested here).\n\n\nI also have some info on how to avoid scams and such here:\n\nhttp://www.windhavenweb.com/surveys/avoidscams.html

It is legitimate business. I do alot of paid surveys, and I do actually get paid. But, you don't always make $75.00 a survey, in fact, it's usually small amounts like anywhere between $2 to $30.00. The biggest check I ever recieved was for $50.00.

I do online surveys, and yes, I get good stuff and I get paid for them too. But there are way too many scams out there. If you get the solicitation via e-mail, chances are they're out to sell you name and address and so on. E-mail me, and I'll provide you with some legitimate survey sites for you to check out.

If you are in the UK, there is one \n\nwww.ciao.co.uk\n\nThey do pay you for surveys, you fill out some questions when you join and they email you surveys for you to fill in.  You will prob only get 2-6 per week and the price varies between £0.50 and £2.50 depending on the length of the survey so you dont make a fortune.\n\nAny sites you have visited that tells you you can make hundreds of pounds per week doing it are not telling the truth, they make you pay a registration fee and then they'll just tell you that you dont meet any of the criteria for the surveys they have.\n\nCiao is a valid one and once you have earned £5 or over , they send you a check.  This is the only valid one I have found but my friend also uses one www.valuedopinions.com\n\nhope this helps

I make about $20 a month and am signed up with more than 10 surveys sites.  But I don't qualify for a lot of the surveys.  Its really hard to predict how much you'll make because sites are looking for people in various demographics.  \n\nI've listed most of the sites I have taken surveys through and actually been paid (or recieved other rewards like gift cards or CDS) on the following site, if you are interested:\n\nhttp://www.windhavenweb.com/surveys\n\nI list how they pay you, what I like and dislike about them, whether they have an affiliate or referral program, etc. \n\nThere are others out there.  Be careful though, there are also scams.  Don't sign up for any survey site which asks you to pay to access the surveys.   Also watch for language like "get paid for taking surveys AND SIGNING UP FOR OFFERS" if you don't want to have to sign up for stuff with other companies to get paid.  \n\nAlways carefully read their terms of service and privacy policy.   If in their privacy policy they say they only use aggregated info, this is GOOD SIGN they are legit. Aggregated info information that is grouped together so it can't be connected with anyones personal identification like name, e-mail, phone or address. That's what survey sites SHOULD collect.  Avoid sites that say they give, rent, or sell any personal information (info that is not agregated) to third parties (unless you really don't mind getting junk mail, telemarketing calls, and spam).\n\nAlso just recently came across a good survey ratings site that I've found very helpful:\nhttp://www.surveypolice.com/
