ProOpinion Review

There are many ways through which you can make some extra money online from the comfort of your home. Recently I was looking at some ways through which I can make some extra cash, and I came across a website known as ProOpinion. This is a paid survey panel for business professionals.

The paid surveys refer to a form of statistical polls where the participants, who are otherwise referred to as members, are rewarded through an incentive program. The reward that the members get for each of the survey may not be much. However, it is a good way to make some quick cash at the comfort of your home.

As a participant, some of the details you will be required to provide include personal and economic habits, as this will help them put you in a particular demographic. There are many paid survey platforms in the market. However, some of them are scams that dupe clients to thinking that they will get paid, when it is not the case.

Luckily, ProOpinion is not one of the scam platforms. ProOpinion is a subsidiary of the company Dynata LLC which was previously referred to as Survey Sampling International. The company’s main business is market research.

Things to Consider Before Joining ProOpinion

Below are some important details that you should be aware of before joining ProOpinion:

• You can only become a participant in ProOpinion if you will be a member of the panel. To become a member, you have to provide some basic information about yourself. Some includes your gender, home address, date of birth, employment status, and education level. You will also be allowed to provide details like your household income, as well as a valid email-address.
• Each survey that is available on ProOpinion can be sent to you via email as soon as a new opportunity is available. Alternatively, you can log into your account and pick the assignments.
• You have to set up an active PayPal account through which you will receive payments. You can also redeem your points through Amazon gift cards, App Store, and iTunes gift cards.
• You do not have to redeem your points. You can also choose to donate your points to the American Red Cross Society.

You should read through the terms and conditions of service on the official ProOpinion survey website before you create an account and join the panel.

Features and Benefits

How Does ProOpinion Work?

Signing Up

The first step of the process is signing up, and this will not cost you a cent. In my opinion, this is the first thing you consider when looking for a legit company. If a platform asks you to pay before signing up, it is a red flag that the company is a scam. Note that you can only sign up for ProOpinion if you are a citizen of the United States.

Another important factor to remember of is the fact that you will only be allowed to create an account on the platform if you are at least 18 years old. ProOpinion only allows one member per email-address. These requirements differ from one panel to another.

The signing up process will require you to provide some basic details, including your age, gender, income level, and employment status. After filling the necessary details, an email will be sent to your address. To complete the process, you have to click on the verification link on the email that the system will automatically send to you. The information on your profile will be used to determine which surveys you qualify for, depending on the needs of their clients.

Once you have signed up, you will be a member of the panel and gain access to a dashboard. However, signing up for the platform does not automatically mean that you will be allowed to become a member. The company does not provide specific situations where your membership may be denied. Still, while going through the terms and conditions, I learned that the company might refuse to provide services to anyone at any moment with or without reason.

Also, remember that panel membership is specific to the individual who registers for membership with the panel.

The Surveys

To be a part in the paid online surveys on ProOpinion, you only need to be a member of the panel. You can access in the following ways:

• Via email- The company will send you emails notifying you whenever there is a new poll that you can be a part of. The email contains a link that will take you to the site with the new poll opportunity.
• Via the panel- You can also gain access to the surveys that are available at one moment or another by simply logging into the panel. On the panel, you will see the “Take a Survey” option, which, if you click on, will direct you to the new survey opportunities on the site.

You will only be allowed to take a survey for which you are eligible. Whether or not you are eligible for a survey depends on the information you have provided on your panel profile. What happens is that the support team uses your data to determine whether you fit in the criteria that are required by the client.

One of the many benefits of ProOpinion is that the site does not run short of surveys that you can participate in. This means that you will get the chance to make money at any moment you wish to make some extra cash. However, you only get access to the surveys if you belong to the required demographics. On this site, each survey takes a maximum of 15 minutes.

Take Surveys and Make Money

According my research, completing each survey will earn you a specific number of points. The number of points you are awarded depends on the type of survey and the amount of time you spend on the survey. The points are forwarded to your account when you complete a survey. Note that you will not be allowed to complete the same survey more than once.

The highest number of points you can earn from completing a survey is 100 points. The 100 points translate to $1. The more surveys you complete, the more points you get; hence, the better the chances of getting incredible rewards. However, you have to be keen on how you answer the questions on the survey because there are chances you may get kicked out in the middle of a survey.

Earn Cash

ProOpinion allows you to redeem the points you get for the cash. If you decide to do so, you will get paid via PayPal. This means that you have to create a PayPal account if you do not have an active one already. Creating a PayPal account is quite easy; all you need is an email-address and some basic information about yourself.

ProOpinion, however, has a limit to the number of points you can redeem. This is called the payout threshold. On ProOpinion, the payout threshold is 1000 points. The 1000 points translate to $10. You can always request to redeem your points as soon as you hit the payout threshold.

You can also opt to redeem your points for Amazon, iTunes, and App Store gift cards. The website allows you to use your points to make donations to an organization like the American Red Cross.

Benefits

Below are some features that make ProOpinion better than other survey sites of its kind:

• The points you earn on ProOpinion can be redeemed for a myriad of attractive rewards. This is very rare in survey sites that offer points instead of cash for the complete surveys. In addition to the cash payouts, other rewards include gift cards like iTunes gift cards.
• The platform allows you to donate your points to the Charity Societies in the United States, in case you prefer charity as a payout option.
• The platform does not run short of surveys at any moment of the day or night. Therefore, you can always make money on the survey sites whenever you are free.
• Most polls on this site are quite short, taking a maximum of 15 minutes.
• The ratings on this site are also impressive.

Concerns

• In my opinion, the ratings on this site are low, especially since it only allows you one method of earning money apart from the online surveys. The platform is also only open in the United States of America.

What Do Others Say?

While preparing to write this investigation on ProOpinion, I stumbled upon a wide range of majorly positive consumer reviews. Some clients, through the reviews, seem pleased with the rewards and payout options provided by the survey sites. Other clients are also impressed by the fact that you can easily maneuver the site. However, there are some complaints about the pay offered by the site. Also, the payout threshold is too high. The amount of time it takes to complete a survey is also quite long.

Conclusion

In my opinion, from all the information gathered, this site is completely legitimate. This means that you do not have to worry that the company will sell your information to third parties or that the data you provide is not safe. However, the main issue I have with the online survey site is the fact that it only allows you one way to make money, which is through the surveys. Regardless, I would advise you to give it a try.
