I'm Just Sharing

I once wrote about Zoomerang on a post I did for my Reviews site about online survey companies, but it looks like I’ve never written about them here.

Zoomerang, also known as Zoom Panel, is a legitimate survey company, someone whose surveys I’ve been answering for at least 4 or 5 years now. They can be on anything, but most of the time they’re products surveys of some type. Some of the surveys are long, some are short, and you usually earn between 25 to 75 points if you qualify, and if you don’t qualify you usually earn 5 points still. They also have a sweepstakes offering that you automatically qualify for, a monthly drawing; of course I’ve never won anything.

With your points, you get to redeem them for stuff. I’ve picked up a few things from them, such as an MP3 player for my wife and a CD player for me, and some other goofy thing my wife thought she’d like, but I don’t think she’s ever used. It’s not the top of the line stuff, but hey, you’re basically getting stuff for free; obviously, the more points you accumulate, the better stuff you get to pick from.

Now they offer people to buy into the program through the Zoomerang affiliate program via Commission Junction. If you want to conduct surveys and you don’t have the means to do it, these folks will help you set it up and conduct those surveys for you. They offer flexible pricing, starting at $19 a month.

So, there you go. Here’s the banner if you’re interested.

Confusion – you have to pay for their affiliate program, to take surveys, or to have them set up surveys for you?

You have to sign up to use their software to create surveys. If all you want to do is take them, totally free.

I’ve been looking for a survey company to do the dirty work for me – I’m gathering materials for my masters thesis and as it turns out, I need to do some research Zoomerang seemed ok, but I’ve fell victim to several Internet scams over the years so i decided to make sure. Now after I’ve read your post I think I’ll contact them about their services. Thank you!
