In order to earn some magazine money, I answered extremely long online surveys.
Zeng Xue graduated from college last July and is preparing to study abroad this fall. She especially loves reading fashion magazines and spends more than 100 on several magazines every month. But during the gap period when she was doing nothing at home and waiting to go abroad, she was too embarrassed to ask her parents for money to buy fashion magazines, which they regarded as just a pile of colorful waste paper. So she started taking online surveys and earning some small change to buy magazines.
"I do about five surveys a day and earn 10 to 15 yuan," Zeng Xue said. She can earn a few hundred yuan in a month. In addition to using the money to buy magazines, she can also have some left over to take the subway. The contents of the survey are diverse, including a very professional survey on medical device usage preferences and a survey on beauty habits. Most of them were URLs she found in a QQ group of netizens who make money by doing surveys. She said that their community also has a name, called "Diaoke".
It is understood that many people abroad make a living by filling out questionnaires online. Since many companies need to analyze a large amount of user data to formulate product strategies in the process of marketing, some specialized product research institutions have also emerged in recent years. But now many domestic questionnaire websites, such as Daodao.com, are free, and people who fill out questionnaires cannot get paid. Generally speaking, some companies, professional scientific research institutions, and psychological research institutions will launch paid questionnaires, hoping to attract more people to fill in the questionnaires and obtain more specific data with a small reward.
Zeng Xue told reporters that generally speaking, the reward for filling out a questionnaire is about 5 to 20 yuan. These paid questionnaires are usually outrageously long, and you must fill in your email address or MSN, which is more complicated than those voluntary questionnaires. many. Moreover, as a "professional" tuner, Zeng Xue said that it is necessary to prepare multiple online accounts and Alipay, because the rewards for online surveys are usually transferred to the participants' online accounts. If there is no designated bank account, It can only waste more than ten yuan of income. "But doing surveys is about accumulating small amounts, so you can't just ignore it if you think it's just a small amount of money."
Taoke
Senior online store buyer turned into a full-time "online sitter"
Taoke's job task, in the offline world, is shopping guide, or "childcare".
Cai Xiaoyi, who lives in Country Garden in Guangzhou, is a veteran shopper. Her three large cabinets are full of used cosmetic shells. As long as she talks about cosmetics, she can talk to people for a long time. In the past, she liked to post her trial experience on Taobao forums, or compare several cosmetics with the same functions. She made hundreds of netizens on the forum and was very popular. Netizens nicknamed her "Xiaocai" or "Xiaocai". Cai Cai”. But now, it's not easy to get Cai Cai to post an experience post.
Starting from the end of 2007, a Taobao netizen introduced Caicai as a Taobao customer. The job was very simple, which was to help Taobao shop owners promote their products. "They said that I am somewhat famous in the forum, and I am good at writing product trial posts and usage experience posts." Cai Cai just needs to turn her interest into a part-time job. After every time she writes her usage experience or experience introduction, By the way, post the link of the Taobao store owner and mark "This product is sold in this store." In fact, she has many Taobao netizens who have been Taobao customers for several years. Their posts on the forum are rarely considered to be advertising, because their introduction and experience of the products are very detailed, and they include a link to each product. A link makes it easy for Taobao friends to click on the picture and look very natural.
When she first started working as a Taoke, Cai Cai cooperated with a familiar seller, and the remuneration was calculated on a fixed monthly basis. What Cai Cai had to do was to post regularly every month. The seller also controlled the length of the post, the number of pictures, and the number of pictures. The number of products introduced is specified. Later, Cai Cai made an agreement with several "customers" on hand that in addition to the basic commission, they would also receive a certain commission. "It's hard to tell whether they were the customers I brought over, so how to calculate the commission is very confusing." , so she tried her best to tell netizens that she should tell the store owner that she introduced them to buy things. At most, she could earn nearly 3,000 yuan from three sellers every month.
At the end of December last year, Taobao developed a formal Taoke platform to allow netizens to better participate in "human flesh marketing" and earn commissions from it. It is understood that this platform currently has nearly 100,000 users. They post advertising links for sellers’ products to be promoted in chats, forums, blogs or personal websites. If a netizen enters a Taobao store through this link and makes a purchase, Taoke You can draw commission from it. Now that Cai Cai has registered as an official Taoke, more and more people are coming to compete, but she is not worried. “Taoke is essentially word-of-mouth marketing, and sales cannot be made by relying on human flesh.”
