Brand Institute: A Legitimate Survey Site Review from the Top 25
Brand Institute is in association with Online Global Recruiting, and when you register with one, you are on the list for both. They are a cash survey site, paying by check or PayPal, and I have great hopes for this one.
I waited to do this review until I’d done my first survey for them. It took about 25 minutes, was about pharmaceuticals and paid $8. You only get about one survey a month, but they pay cash instead of with sweepstakes entries!
The email reply to my information request stated they value the insights provided by their panel members. This information is used by companies in making decisions on how products and services will be made available to consumers.
After registration, survey invitations are sent by email. 15 – 30 minute surveys pay from $8 to $100; pay is dependant upon the project. Then I was invited to share my opinions and register with a research panel.
The $100 surveys from Brand Institute are no doubt for medical professionals, so don’t be looking for payment in that amount. According to the comments and reviews I’ve read, payments for most panel members seem to range from $1 to $40, and processing takes about 3 weeks.
I’ve heard qualifying isn‘t always easy either, but still, the Brand Institute/Online Global Recruiting survey site looks like it’s going to be OK. After I get more surveys from them and have been paid, I’ll let you know from further experience how it stacks up.
