Surveys have always been a great way to make money online. 

But the landscape has changed in recent years, and now there are several great paid survey apps. 

One of the best ways to take advantage of this is to become an Influencer.

As an influencer, you must give your followers the most accurate information about paid surveys. 

Below, I will explain the steps you need to follow to succeed as a paid surveys influencer.

Let’s go ahead and get started.

What is an Influencer

An influencer has a large social media following, which helps them get paid to promote specific products or services.

 This person is an authority figure in their social circles. 

It can, therefore, use its networks to help promote a product. 

Influencers use a variety of social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat to promote the products and

services they sell.

What is a Paid Surveys Influencer

A Survey Influencer refers to an individual or organization actively promoting one or more survey companies or online paid survey businesses.

 As an influencer, you may receive compensation for referring people to paid survey sites and may be eligible for referral rewards.

Being a paid survey influencer is a fun and rewarding way to make money online.

 In a sense, you’re acting as a middleman between survey companies and survey takers.

How to Become a Paid Surveys Influencer

1. Plan Your Strategy:

You don’t need to pick a niche because you have already decided to become a paid surveys influencer.

You will need to create engaging content to make your audience take action.

At this phase, you need to determine how to promote your content:

• Start a Blog 

• Youtube Channel

• Facebook 

• Instagram 

• Pinterest 

• Tiktok

• Twitter

• All of the above

The more followers you get, the more profitable your business will be.

2. Join Affiliate Programs

Many survey sites use affiliate programs to bring referral traffic to their business.

Many times, it is as simple as signing up and becoming a member of the survey panel.

The easier way to find it is by going to the bottom of the main page and looking for the words “affiliate program.”

Usually, commissions go around 15 to 25 % of what a person referred by you makes.

Another way is to join affiliate programs like MaxBounty, where survey sites establish how much they pay per action(CPA) that usually join them.

3. Increase your Followers.

Now is the time for you to take action and start implementing your planned strategy.

You need to create engaging content.

Initially, your progress will be slow, but the key to success is constancy; remember, “Rome was not built in a day.”

Also, you will compete against others in the same niche, so be original.

You can take advantage of SEO and research your main keywords. 

That way, your content will be more accessible to index by Google.

How Much Money Can You Earn as an Influencer?

The answer is, “It depends.” 

The more popular you and your content are, the more profitable your business is.

As an influencer, your primary source of income comes from the commissions you earn from referring people to paid survey sites.

 The more people you refer, the more money you can make.

 To become an influencer, you need a large following of your own. 

It would be best if you also built a significant level of engagement with your followers so they’re likely to click through to your sponsored posts and ads.

Influencers earn money differently from one another due to several factors that affect their rates, such as their follower count,

engagement rate, and their platform.

 Big stars such as Kylie Jenner, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Dwayne Johnson charge as high as $1 million per post.

A YouTube influencer with 1,000 YouTube subscribers and about 24 million yearly views can earn $100,000.

 On Instagram, you need 5,000 followers and 308 sponsored posts to make the same amount.

Example of Successful Influencers

Some influencers have even started their own businesses. 

For example, Lauren from The Art of Manliness earns a six-figure salary from her business. 

She posts sponsored content from companies like Udemy and Thrive15, both parts of the Inc. 500 list, and she makes around

$100 an hour.

John Paul: John Paul is one of the biggest influencers in the paid surveys industry. 

His Facebook page has 1.6 million followers, and he posts between three and five times per week. 

His posts link to his website, which has more than 100,000 subscribers.

In the case of Jeni’s Beauty Box, a beauty influencer with 2.2 million YouTube subscribers and 1.3 million Instagram followers can

earn $100,000 per sponsored post.

The Beauty Box is a subscription service that sends subscribers a packet of brand-name beauty products every month.

Jeni’s Beauty Box pays influencers a flat rate of $100 per sponsored post. Other influencers earn a percentage of the revenue their

audience generates.

How Many Followers do you need to be an influencer?

We can make influencer marketing work for any brand size. 

You don’t need to be huge before earning money, but you need to build an engaged audience first. 

The more followers you have, the more likely you’ll be found by brands looking for expertise, and the more opportunities you’ll

have to make money.

Depending on where you are and what you’re promoting, you may need 5,000 to 100,000 followers.

 But to be successful, you’ll need at least 1,000 followers.

Some influencers have tens (or even hundreds of thousands) of followers. But more than that, they have built a community of

passionate followers, helping them to ensure that their content is seen and shared.

Influencers with fewer than 500,000 followers can earn between $300 and $5,000 per sponsored post.

Could you evaluate and track your progress?

As you build your audience and earn money, you’ll want to track your progress. 

You can use many tools, such as Social Blade.

 These platforms will help you identify the platforms where your audience is most active and where you can generate the most

revenue. 

You can use these tools to determine the best time to post, where to focus your efforts, and which platforms to build your

presence.

 Stay Up to Date on Trends

Keep track of the latest trends in influencer marketing by reading articles and blogs and listening to podcasts.

 Doing this will help you understand what’s working best and where to focus your efforts. 

You can also follow influencers on social media platforms where your audience would be most engaged.

They are helping you to understand what works best to build your audience.

Keep an eye on trends in the industry and platforms where your audience spends most of their time. 

Determine which media to make your presence on and which platforms to ignore.

 For example, Instagram influencers who focus on YouTube tend to earn more than influencers who only focus on Instagram. 

But even if Instagram is your primary platform, you’ll want to build a presence on other platforms, such as Twitter and Facebook,

to maximize your revenue.

One of the best ways to stay on top of the latest trends is to join influencer forums, where other influencers talk about the latest

tools and strategies for building a successful career.

 Many of the top influencers are members of platforms where you can get advice from other influencers about building an

audience and generating income from your online presence. 

You can also sign up for influencer email lists.

 The top brands in your niche will email you when they’re looking for advice from influencers in your demographic. 

You can also sign up for email newsletters that focus on influencer marketing.

 These newsletters will keep you updated on the latest trends, tools, and platforms to stay on top of the latest industry

information.
