How do survey websites make money? -

I m thinking of creating a survey website to have a little more money, but i want to know how they create income. Also where do the surveys come from?

So you actually want to make a survey site on your own? Well buddy, you better be prepared for a lot of hard work. Okay, well here s how it works, big companies like Coca-Cola or Walmart pay big survey sites a set commission based on the number of surveys they fill out. You would be below these big survey sites, and they would pay you even less than the big companies pay them. Basically, the big survey sites are the middle man here and unless you can become as popular as they are, there s no way you can compete. However, you can still make money. Lets say a big company will pay $10 for every person who the big survey companies (the people who actually make the surveys) can get to take a survey. They typically pay 25-50% to the smaller sites (YOU) to collect surveys, and in turn, you will pay the people taking the surveys on your website 25-50% to take the surveys, so you re looking at making about a $1 for every survey taken from someone on your site. Hope this helps, and like I said, it s A LOT of work.
