Title: Has anyone considered starting their own survey company?
Post by: danmo783 on October 14, 2016, 03:57:22 pm

I've been thinking about it for a long time, but from what I've read about buying the software, testing, advertising, and getting clients and survey takers seem like a big task. I know that there are a few sites with very low overhead. I'm interested in having my own business... not the likes of huge companies like FusionCash, but more like Quickrewards (run by only 2-3 people).

It's interesting to read up on at least. The start-up survey program software cost isn't that low.... the advertising is very expensive. Plus you need a nice website... and of course clients and survey takers. I'm not sure how to really advance from there.

Maybe I'm living in a pipe dream...

Fusioncash actually only has a very small staff

I see how people complain about survey sites so I wouldn't want to get myself involved in dealing with that

Way too much competition and skepticism to overcome for me. I am happy with Fusioncash.

Used to have a small biz online many years ago.

Family needs, and a tragedy eventually put an end to it. Too time consuming for me.

Hope you succeed.  You can do it. All these sites started in one person's dream :)

No.  I would imagine it is not that easy.  You can do surveys easy but running a company where you get paid and then you pay others who do the surveys would not be that easy.  Most companies are going to want to use a well established survey site.
