Collect Earnings

Great! Now that you have become a member of all of the research panels, it is time for what is going to be your FAVORITE part!  Of course I am talking about getting paid!
What's the point of completing all of these surveys if you're not going to collect your earnings!
So let's talk about collecting your earnings.
When it comes to receiving payment for your surveys, each company is a little bit different. Some companies will pay you via a check that they will mail to your home. Others will pay you via Paypal which is quick and easy.
At the same time, some companies give you both or more options!
Also, some companies require you to meet a certain threshold before they will let you cash out. This threshold is higher on some research panels and lower on others.
Let's go over some of the essentials you will need to know when it comes to collecting your earnings:

Payment Method:
Each company has its own method of payment. You may need to provide a good mailing address for some companies because they will want to pay you with a check. Other companies, all you will need to provide is a valid Paypal email address and they will send the money directly into your Paypal account. Some of these panels may allow you to choose between receiving a check or Paypal payment. In some cases, some payment options may be limited based on where at in the world you live.

Payment Threshold:
Some of the research panels require you to reach a certain threshold before you can cash out. Basically, you've got to earn a certain amount of money before you can actually receive your payment. You'll be able to see how much you are earning at all times, but you must reach a certain amount before you can cash out your balance. They do this to keep you active and to get you to take more surveys. But, you're going to want to be taking more and more surveys anyway!
Be sure to make yourself aware of each company's payment threshold. Keep track of these along with payment frequency as you may want to make sure you pass the threshold before they send the next payments out!

Payment Frequency:
The research panels will each have their own payment frequencies. This is how often they actually send out payments. Some companies will pay you immediately after you complete a survey. Others will pay you weekly, bi-weekly, or even monthly. Also, keep in mind you may need to add time for companies who send checks as payment. It may take some extra time for the check to actually reach your house.
As long as you keep up on how each company pays, at what threshold, and how often, then you will be prepared and ready to make as much money as possible. Keep organized and do everything you can to maximize your paid survey income!
Remember, the best part of paid surveys is collecting your earnings!
