How can I pay?

You can get started immediately by paying with any visa or mastercard. Alternatively, if you don't have one or you don't want to join online, you can pay by bank deposit at any bank in Australia (or your online banking if you have it), or, simply post a cheque or money order.

Who are you?

I'm a Pom who's now living down under (and loving it). I'm earning stupid amounts of money here, my wife doesn't work, we have six holidays a year, and we are rich, thanks to me. I can teach you how I do it.

How much do you earn?

Have you not seen my video? Live, undeniable of proof of how much it's possible to earn online? Go to work at home and click through to my website and you will be able to see it.

What will I be doing/selling?

Basically it's all to do with affiliate marketing - earning commissions on recommending products and services on the Internet - ANZ, Citibank, Google, Teleflora, ebay - all the big guns are doing this type of marketing, it's just that I know how to make lots of money doing it. It's a huge industry and Australia is right at the start of an exciting time. It's an awesome opportunity, trust me! Don't worry - there's no cold calling, Pyramids, herbal life or anything like that crap. This is genuine online affiliate marketing. All my websites are fully automated and so will yours be. Just do yourself a favour and get involved now. In fact - don't. Remember this day, today, when you were thinking about joining, and then in about a year's time, you'll be reading some article about all these people on the Internet who did this, got in early, and made hundreds of thousands of dollars. Then you'll kick yourself. Join now for the offer price and we can get started today.

But what exactly is it? Is it legal?

Oh please - give yourself a hard slap. Of course it's legal. Would NineMSN, 2DAYFM, Ticketek, MyCareer and Mix106.5 allow me to advertise with them if this was illegal? Do you not have a brain? What I do is called 'affiliate marketing' - think about this: If you book a Qantas flight with a travel agent, Qantas will pay the travel agent a commission (that's how the travel agent makes their money). I do the same thing, but on the Internet - as do millions of companies around the world. It's new in Australia, which is why you should get involved NOW.

Do I need a website to do this?

Essentially No. You can earn money using my techniques and strategies without having your own website, however, in the documents I send you, it is recommended that you get one. Don't worry if you haven't got a website or you don't know how to set one up, all is clearly explained!

How much time do I need to spend doing this?

It's entirely down to how rich you want to get. Most people that join this have full time jobs and spend maybe 30 minutes in the evenings, which is perfectly fine. If you can do this, you will be ok. However, if you can put in more effort, then that's all good - especially as the amount you earn is influenced by your motivation and desire to succeed. Most people who have done well at this seem to have "found" extra time to dedicate, but as I say, you should see results with only half an hour a day.

If I join can I get your support after?

Anyone that chooses to purchase my product will receive lifetime support. Feel free to email me with your query and I promise I will personally reply.

Why are you selling this if you're rich?

Because I'm in business! I want more money! If I sat down with you for a couple of days and told you exactly how to earn what I do, you'd expect to pay for my time, wouldn't you? There you go - I earn money from this website, of course I do. More money is good money, that's why I'm selling this information.

Can you guarantee I will earn as much as you?

Absolutely not. The reason is you might not read my document properly or you might not follow the instructions I give you. How can I guarantee you will earn what I do if I have no idea who you are or what motivation you have?

What about refunds?

I used to offer full refunds for everyone that purchased my information - it was a 'no quibble money back guarantee'. Then I found people were just ordering the guide and asking for their money back, regardless of how well they were doing. I had to return their money and I was losing out. It was a daft situation, therefore I had to stop this refund policy, for obvious reasons!

If you earn all this money, can I have your guide for free?

Please, do yourself a favour and give yourself a slap. Do you really think that I would provide all this knowledge and information for free? I don't care if you can't afford to lose the money, everyone has to take a risk at some point in their life. If you are one of these sad people that is happy with their tiny income and sees most things like this a scams, then fine! GO AWAY.

Can I have it for free and then pay you when it works?

Do you seriously think I am stupid? If I gave away this document that has been personally written by me for nothing, what does that make it worth? Nothing. Exactly. Giving this away for free completely devalues the product and everything I say.

I don't live in Australia , will this still work?

Definitely, 100%. The Internet is a worldwide thing and my techniques will work anywhere in the world. However, the place to earn the most money, is in Australia as they are simply behind the times regarding Internet development.

What computer skills do I need?

You will need to have access to email and have a basic understanding of how to use the Internet. My document has been written so that an Internet novice can understand it. Remember though, I'm personally on hand for all support enquiries after you join. You will not be left alone.

Have I heard about you on the TV?

Probably. There are many success stories out there about people that have bought this. This stuff really works.

Are there any other fees involved?

This depends on your situation. I recommend that you have a website, so if you haven't got one, there's obviously things like a domain name to pay for. If you don't know how to design websites, then don't worry - I recommend some software that is SO easy to use, anyone can design a website, but this needs to be paid for. Things like a domain name and hosting are about $20 odd bucks a month, but don't stress, you won't be laying out tens of thousands!

Where is the product manufactured?
What is the shelf life of the product once it is manufactured and opened? 
Is the product safe?
Is the product FDA approved?
Does the acai berry product treat, cure, or prevent disease?


What fruits are contained in the product other than the acai berry?

In addition to the açai berry, the product contains white grape, pear, acerola, pear puree, aronia, purple grape, cranberry, passion fruit, banana, apricot, prune, kiwi, blueberry, bilberry, camu camu, wolfberry, pomegranate, and lychee fruit.


What is the acai berry?

Acai is a small, round, dark-purple berry with amazing nutritional properties. Its appearance is similar to that of a grape, but it has a smaller amount of pulp and a single large seed. Scientific experts have referred to the acai berry as the most nutritious and powerful food in the world. 
 

Why does the acai berry seem to get more attention than the other healthful fruits?

While all the fruits contained in the product have unique properties that benefit your body, the acai berry has become the “headliner” fruit because it is packed with nutritional value—proteins, healthy fats, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and trace minerals. It also has a low glycemic index. So complete is this berry that the Brazilian people living along the Amazon can survive on it as their sole source of food and demonstrate amazing vitality and energy. More important than this, however, is the impressive amount of phytonutrients and powerful antioxidants that the product is able to capture from the acai berry through its proprietary processing. 
 
 
Does the acai berry have a high ORAC score?

Yes, with an ORAC score of 1,027 per gram, the acai used in the product boasts the highest ORAC score against the hydroxyl free radical of any fruit or vegetable tested to date. The acai fruit is the star among other well-known antioxidants, such as blueberries, grapes, red wine, green tea, cranberries, blackberries, and pomegranates. By comparison, acai has more than 10 times the antioxidant power of cranberries.

 
Where does the acai berry grow?

The acai berry grows in clusters on the acai palm, a genus of 25–30 species of palms native to tropical Central and South America. These tall, slender palms can grow 15–30 meters tall, with leaves up to 3 meters long. The prime commercial source of acai comes from the area where several rivers converge within the Amazon estuary, emptying along the northeastern corner of Brazil into the Atlantic Ocean between the states of Para and Amapa. The people of Brazil refer to acai as the “Milk of the Amazon.”


Does harvesting the acai berry destroy the Amazon Rainforest?

No. In fact, the company is helping to preserve the Amazon Rainforest by harvesting the acai berry. Each week, poachers illegally chop down 5,000–10,000 palm trees to obtain and sell a 12-inch section of the palm known as the “palmito.” As a result, the entire tree dies. On the other hand, by harvesting the acai berry, the palm tree continues to thrive and the natives have an incentive to preserve the acai-bearing palm tree.
 

Is the acai berry used certified organic?

Yes. The acai used by the company is certified organic through The Institute for Marketecology (IMO). IMO is one of the first and most renowned international agencies for inspection, certification, and quality assurance of eco-friendly products. IMO’s worldwide activities are accredited by the Swiss Accreditation Service (SAS), according to EN 45011 (ISO 65), which is the international standard for organic certification.
 

Are all the other fruits used in the product certified organic?

Açai, acerola, camu camu, and bilberry are certified organic. However, it is not possible to have all the fruits in the product to be certified organic; for example, the wolfberry is harvested in China, and the Chinese government does not have an organic certification process.
 

How much acai berry is contained in the product?

Because the product formulas are proprietary, the exact amount of acai or the other fruits contained in our blend is not disclosed. 

 
Does the company use flash pasteurization?

Yes. With flash pasteurization, the product is heated for approximately 15–30 seconds and then immediately cooled. By only briefly subjecting the product to high temperatures, most—if not all—taste and color changes are avoided. Flash pasteurization is preferred to other methods because it kills microbes without destroying beneficial phytonutrients. 
 

Where is the product manufactured?

To ensure the highest level of quality, the product is produced at its manufacturing facility in Salt Lake City, Utah (not far from the corporate office).


What is the shelf life of the product once it is manufactured and opened? 

If unopened, both the product has a shelf life of one year. If the product has been opened, then the shelf life is approximately 30-60 days, as long as the opened bottle is refrigerated. The Gel should be consumed in its entirety as soon as it is opened. For optimum freshness, we recommend refrigerating the products before and after opening. 
 

 
Is the product safe?

Yes, the product is safe and contains only well-tolerated foods. It contains fruit juices and purees naturally found in the food supply that have been consumed by various cultures for hundreds of years. However, if you have any health concerns, you should consult a physician before starting any new product or program.
 

Is the product FDA approved?

There is no official approval process or certificate issued by the FDA to approve the sale of any food or juice product. The Food and Drug Administration has established stringent regulations, called Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) to ensure the safety and manufacturing of foods sold in the United States. The product is manufactured in a GMP-compliant facility. The ingredients contained in the product are generally recognized as safe (GRAS), and obtaining prior approval from the FDA is not required. 

 
Does the acai berry product treat, cure, or prevent disease?

Eating a diet rich in a variety of fruits and vegetables is known to aid in the prevention of disease and in living a long, active, and healthy life. It is not the purpose of a natural product like this to treat, cure, or prevent disease; the FDA only approves drugs to offer these benefits. The product is made with a specific selection of powerful superfruits and other natural compounds, such as glucosamine and esterified fatty acids. The fruits and compounds in the product have been shown in some studies to help support the body’s ability to protect itself.

Why can I get paid for filling out surveys and sharing my opinions?

Around the world, companies spend billions every year trying to convince consumers to buy their products and services. That's a lot of money. And while the majority of it is spent on advertising, a portion is devoted to research.

You see, understanding how people think and shop, why they buy certain products, etc ultimately helps companies improve their products and services and make THEM more money.

Knowing this, and that they won't get our help for free, companies are willing to pay people like you and me good money - real Aussie dollars! - for our opinions, because when the dust settles they know they will come out ahead and generate even more profits for themselves.

So you see, this is no "scam". It actually makes a lot of sense doesn't it?
 
So what kind of questions do they ask on the surveys? Examples?

The surveys are generally intended to get your honest opinions on various topics, such as what kind of products you buy, why you choose one product over another, what you think of certain products and how much they cost, how much you spend on various products, etc.

Here are examples of a hypothetical $10 survey, and another $20 survey

 
Ok, so how long are the surveys? And what about the focus groups?

Surveys are generally made up of anywhere from 20-50 questions, sometimes multiple choice and sometimes with space for you to add your personal comments, etc. In general, the more time it is expected to take to complete the survey, the more you will be compensated. Some take only 5 minutes!

Focus Groups are usually a more lengthy process - lasting anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours or even longer. As with surveys, the compensation rises along with the participation necessary.

Just remember, you'll always know the specifics up front and you pick the ones you like!

 
Are there any special computer, hardware or software requirements?

If you are reading this now it means you already have the Internet access and basic web browsing software that you will need to take surveys and get paid for your opinions. We do recommend, however, that you open the document on Windows.


 
My schedule is pretty hectic, can I do this whenever I want?

Yes! That is probably the best part about surveys and why it's the easiest way for the average person to make some extra cash. It's perfect for everyone because you decide when and how much you want to "work" at any given time. You can do it at your own pace.

Have an extra 30 minutes in the morning before heading off to work? Do you have a few hours available in the afternoon while the kids are out playing? Or maybe it's 2am and for some reason you can't sleep? These are all perfect times to do surveys and get paid!

On the other hand, maybe you get busy with other things and don't have any time to do surveys for a while. That's perfectly fine! It's not like there's a boss breathing down your neck, or you have to worry about getting fired. You can do surveys when it's convenient for YOU.


 
How much money can I make?

It’s entirely up to you. It depends on how much you work. You do have the choice to work as often or little as you wish, so in theory, the more you work, the more you’ll earn. It’s possible that you can earn over $75 per hour. Plus, here at PaidSurvey.com.au, we’re on hand for all the support you may need.



Do I need to fit a certain "profile" to take surveys successfully?

Everything about you - where you live, whether you have a job or go to school, what kind of car you drive, whether you are single or married, etc. - makes up your personal "profile".

And this profile is what market research companies use to match you up with the surveys and focus groups that are most applicable to you. After all, there's no sense in wasting anyone's time by sending you a survey about things you have no interest in or experience with.

While your "profile" is one of the most important factors that will determine the type and number of survey invitations you receive, there is no such thing as a "good" or "bad" profile. Each and every person simply has a different profile, as everyone in the world is a little different.

It doesn't matter if you are single or married, have a job or stay at home with the kids, drive a car or ride a bike, flunked out of school or have a Master's degree - because everyone's opinions are valuable to the market research companies and the clients that hire them.

So the short answer is "no" - you do not need to worry about fitting a certain profile in order to get paid for your opinions. If you are 18 years of age or older, this is for you.


 
Do I get paid by the hour? On a per-survey basis? And how much?

In the case of certain focus groups you may be paid by the hour, but generally you are paid a set amount for participating in a survey, focus group, or other opportunity.

Most companies will pay you cash, but some will give you free products, gift certificates, a chance to win bigger prizes, or "points" to be redeemed for products, cash, etc. We prefer the companies that pay cash and believe us, there’s plenty of them!

 
Can you tell me when, by whom, and exactly how I will be paid?

Each time you participate in a survey, focus group, or other paid opportunity, the particular company that is giving or sponsoring the opportunity will pay you directly.

These are often market research firms hired by other companies - both large and small - to do various types of market research on their behalf. That is just how the industry works.

The focus groups tend to pay cash in hand (Australian dollars) after you’ve finished in their participation group. Online surveys normally either wire you the funds directly to your bank account, send the funds via PayPal or simply send you a cheque.

When and how you're compensated depends on the specific opportunity you participate in.

Some will pay instantly online via PayPal, others will send you a cheque in the mail, etc. Just remember, you'll always know the exact details up front, and you pick the ones you like.

Once you get going you could have a steady stream of cash and free stuff all the time!


 
What about the tax implications?

It’s up to you to declare your income and relevant tax. PaidSurvey.com.au cannot offer professional advice on this subject apart from you should declare your earnings in the standard Australian tax return.


 
Do I have to pay to join the companies who offer the work after I've paid you?

No, we'll provide you with the necessary details on where to start. The companies we recommend do not require you to pay them anything, that's why we use them! Remember, the fee you pay us is for our information and ongoing support.
 

You mentioned PayPal - do I need to have a PayPal account?

Definitely not. If for one reason or another you can't or don't want to get yourself a free PayPal account, there are still plenty of survey opportunities for you to participate in.

There are only a handful of companies that only pay via PayPal, and you can simply skip these and work with the 100s of others that are happy to pay you via cheque or other means.
 


Are you a survey company? What exactly does PaidSurvey.com.au do?

No, we are not a survey or market research company. What we do is provide you with information on how to succeed, which includes a list of companies who are looking for normal people with an opinion right now. The document you'll get when you join also has a link to a partner site that lists hundreds of the best-paid survey companies and opportunities - updated regularly. This includes links directly to their online registration forms.

But that's not all. You are also provided with tips, tricks and strategies to help you make more money and ensure you get off to a fast start, PLUS if you join our partner site as well, you'll get special software that will help you to fill out your surveys up to 300% faster!

Basically everything is provided to help you take advantage of paid survey opportunities!
 

Are you a legitimate company?

PaidSurvey.com.au is run by Bean Marketing, an established business based in Frenchs Forest, near Sydney. Our ABN number is: 44943724403
You can check the ABN and company status at the Australian Government website, business.gov.au. to see our details.

We are planning extensive radio and television advertising shortly, you are getting an advantage in terms of registering for work. We also provide you with a phone number if you still have questions about our organisation. Another thing to consider if you have reasons to question the legitimacy of this website is that we have advertised on Seek, MyCareer and major radio stations. NINEMSN have also featured us on their homepage - Would these companies allow us to advertise heavily with them if this was some kind of scam?
 


Are you related to PaidSurvey.com in America?

Absolutely not. We are completely 100% independent and geared up for Australians. There's a lot of sites on the internet that are based in America, but we are genuine people, living in Australia, who have made this work. PaidSurvey.com is an American site, PaidSurvey.com.au are completely Australian - the companies we recommend are based in Australia.

 

I don't live in Australia - can I still do this?

Yes. If you don't live in Australia, just join us in the usual fashion and we will send you details of our partner site that covers most countries in the world. We'll get the international information to you straight away.


 
What's this about your partner site?

When we first started doing online surveys, we used a company who provided us with a lot of companies and leads. It worked really well for us which is why we recommend joining them. It is entirely optional and you don't have to do this, although, like we mention, it's recommended.
We will provide you with the market research companies who we have used, who are reliable and who we recommend. If you want more, then use our partner site where you'll have access to a huge database. Some people use them, others do not. If you want to register with them as well, it'll cost you $34.95 USD, although we obviously can't control their costs. A good point to consider though, is that they do provide some free software to help you register with the companies who are recommended. I'm sure you can imagine that if you enter all your personal details time after time which every single company, a handy piece of software to speed the process up is greatly appreciated!

 

Exactly how many survey companies are listed in your database?

At the moment you loaded this web page there were exactly 495 companies in the dynamic database our partner site offers (optional) - more than enough to keep you busy for as long as you want. We link you directly to their website so you can register with the ones you like and get started right away. In addition to this, we recommend 34 Australian companies in our information document, these we know are looking for people right now. However, we're always on the lookout for additional opportunities for our members to get paid for their opinions, so this number will slowly grow over time. The database is available when you join up with our partner.


 
How soon after I sign up can I get started and make some money?

Once you sign up you can get started immediately. This is not to say you will be offered surveys or make money within an hour after joining, but there are several things you need to do in preparation of taking surveys - and you can do these things immediately upon joining us.

Some people start receiving surveys within a few of hours, but the average wait is usually at least a few days. It really depends on your “profile”, and which companies you register with.

Please keep in mind that many market research companies only send out 1-2 surveys a month. With these it will take at least a few weeks before you are entered into their system and start receiving surveys from them, depending on when you register.

So for example, if you only register with 10 programs and they all happen to only send out 1 survey a month, it will take at least a few weeks before you see any surveys. It's crucial to register with as many as you can - you will NOT make a lot of money from any one company. If you take our advice, you'll be introduced to 100s of companies, and the more you register with the more surveys you can take. It's that simple. Once you get going you can do surveys every day.

Unfortunately we can't tell you which companies are “best” for you, because it really depends on you - who you are, where you live, what you do for a living, and all of the other things that make-up your personal “profile” which is what determines the surveys you'll be offered.

... but don't worry, because before long you'll know which ones are best for you. Most people end up favoring a handful of 20-30 companies that send them the “best” surveys.

What I can tell you is that I have personally registered with about 250 companies and I receive more survey invitations than I can handle. And there are a lot of people who make thousands of dollars per month from surveys and focus groups. It's entirely up to YOU!


 
If I change my mind, can I cancel my account and get a refund?

You are able to obtain a full refund if you chose to join our partner site, although Paid Survey ourselves do not offer refunds. Whilst many people do extremely well at this, we can't offer refunds because we can't actually guarantee the amount of work you will get.

Our No-Refund Policy is also due to the fact that you receive the two documents straight away and we offer unlimited support. Bear in mind that you probably only need to attend one focus group to pay for you initial outlay. 

 

What do I get?

Once you've paid, you’ll get immediate access to the information we offer. It's a document that has been personally written to help you get started - what to do, who to approach etc. It contains details on the leading companies who are looking for people like you and also a link to our partner site where there’s hundreds more. You can literally get started straight away.
 


Do I have to pay the market research companies to register?

Absolutely not - once you join PaidSurvey.com.au, you'll have the list of companies we recommend. It's quick and easy to register with them and also completely free.
