There are many recently launched apps that pay you for simply using them. But, why will anyone pay you for such a small thing? Knowledge regarding customer taste is necessary in order to make any product and sell it successfully. However, with such a huge target market, it is practically impossible to conduct surveys at every nook and corner of the world.
In such cases, research companies have turned to apps for conducting their surveys. Many apps pay you money when you complete their survey and submit it. Upon analyzing these surveys, companies will have a better knowledge regarding the customer likes and dislikes. The other advantage of using this platform for the companies is the universal appeal. These apps are used by people across the globe, and thus, the analysis results will cater to the tastes of the global audience. As far as the app users are concerned, they get paid for answering a few questions, taking pics, or by visiting places. You don’t spend anything but earn money by spending a few minutes using the app. A win-win situation, I must say! We, at Buzzle, have assembled a consolidated list of such apps that will help you make some extra money.
