Making Extra Money When You Are Retired
In an age where nearly everyone under 30 thinks using a computer is just a normal part of life, there is that group of senior citizens and retirees that are a little more reserved about what they do on the internet.
While that is understandable, it also makes for a great opportunity for those who are willing, to earn some extra income taking surveys online.
Here's why senior citizens and retirees are especially desired for survey panels: 1.
Willing retirees and seniors are a smaller group.
They aren't always comfortable giving their information out to someone they have never seen, this means that those who are willing to do it are more in demand than ever.
If you are willing to take a survey, you may find yourself in higher demand than the younger generation, and actually have more opportunities to earn money.
2.
They use more health-related medication and have more immediate physical needs.
Pharmaceutical and health-related companies are a big chunk of the survey panel's clients and business.
Whether it's the kind of drugs you take, whether or not you use special "adult underwear" for incontinence, or any other very personal matter, the businesses want to know what your needs are and how to satisfy them.
It's big business to take care of seniors and they want to know how they can fit in with, or beat, their competition.
3.
Seniors are loyal, honest...
and creatures of habit.
When a business hires a survey panel for their market research, they know that more mature people tend to be very honest and specific in their responses.
They have lived more of their life and are at an age where they know what they like, are loyal and are generally habitual in their routines.
Companies want to know what you want to buy because since mature people tend to be creatures of habit, they are seeking to fill your need and get you to make their product your new "habit".
Catering to a senior's needs means a longer-term customer overall.
If you feel comfortable answering simple questions online, it can be a very easy and lucrative was for a senior or retiree to make some extra money each month.
You won't get rich doing it, but you can very easily earn up to several hundred dollars a month if you register for multiple companies and take the time to answer a few questions.
It costs nothing to become a member of a panel, and a legitimate company will never ask you to pay for anything -- even for product testing.
