Paid surveys online come in many forms. There are regular paid survey "routers" which will ask you a series of pre-qualifying questions. These typically consist of demographic (age, gender, income, etc.) and some specific questions, such as your job title at work. Router surveys use this information to see which available surveys your profile will fit into, and may transfer you to the market research study with additional qualification questions.

Targeted Surveys, formerly known as "Gold Surveys" on CreationsRewards, are surveys where you should have a higher qualification success rate. This is because some of your basic demographic is used by CreationsRewards to query for available surveys based on your profile.

When you first visit the Targeted Surveys section of CreationsRewards, you will be asked to complete your demographic profile. This is so we don't have to re-ask you these basic questions every time you visit a targeted surveys. Questions will include your age, gender, date of birth (for your age), household income, and general household information. This profile data is then saved into your CreationsRewards account.

Then, when you continue to the Targeted Surveys area, you won't be asked these questions again. Instead, when you visit the area, our systems query for available surveys based on your demographic profile.

You'll see a list of potential surveys for which you may qualify for. Sometimes, depending on how many market research studies are open, this can be a very large list of 100+ surveys. But, don't worry. You can attempt as few or as many projects as you wish.

We recommend selecting surveys based on point value and time. You'll see the points awarded if you fully qualify for, and complete, a specific market research project survey in full.

Another tip is to select surveys that are short in time, and award a lower number of points. You might think that this is incorrect advice, but in most cases these are usually the studies that are the easiest ones to qualify for.

Sometimes, you may be shown a message that the survey isn't available. This is also something not to worry about -- it usually means the quota the researcher is looking for has been met, and they unfortunately can't direct you into the project.

Keep going through the Targeted Surveys list, if you refresh the page, you'll only see surveys that you didn't yet try to access.

The Targeted Surveys list is updated hourly. As new survey projects and studies are added, they will reflect in your Targeted Surveys list as often as every hour.

Remember for the best paid survey experience, answer questions honestly. When asked an open-ended question, be sure to provide adequate details in your response. Those who answer with gibberish, or very few words, might have their points reversed by the survey vendor. Market research companies are looking for data that adds value to the project they are working on, and your input as a CreationsRewards member is very important to them.
