The first post covers everything about survey registration and participation, along with some facts about Opinionest.

3. Surveys

How many surveys can I expect in a month?

There’s no fixed number of surveys a week or a month for an individual. It depends on your survey completion rate, profile accuracy, interests, and our market research projects.

You receive surveys that match your profile and interests. The frequency might be as good as thrice a week or as low as twice a month. But we assure you of rendering a good experience and rewards with every survey.

I’m already a member. But sometimes, I get disqualified from a survey. Why?

We assure you we hold the best interest of our panel members while sending them a survey. It might happen that your profile data doesn’t match the survey requirements. Or, thanks to a technical glitch, our system sent you a form that doesn’t fit your profile.

If you’ve abandoned several surveys in the past, sadly, that could be another reason.

Read an in-depth article on how to handle disqualification from surveys.

How long does a survey run?

The length of a survey depends on the market research process. We mention the deadline for a survey in the email notification you receive. It’s also mentioned in the app if you’re using one.

If we receive enough responses based on our quota requirement, we might close a survey before its last day. So, try to fill out the survey well in advance and don’t wait for the last moment.

Please tell me the dos and don’ts of a survey.

A lot of products get an overhaul just because users say so. Your opinions can make or break a brand or product’s future.

You must answer the survey questions honestly and accurately. Try to write your answers clearly, and choose options you think are correct. Don’t ever fake profile data to get more surveys your way for the sake of monetization.

Here is a complete post on how you should answer surveys and make your voice heard.

I’m not getting the surveys I want to fill out. Please help.

Your profile is the key to getting the right surveys your way. Don’t fake your profile data for any reason. Never abandon a survey midway or submit it with vague or illegible answers for the sake of completion.

To get surveys on the topics you care about, mention your preferences, hobbies, and areas of interest as correctly as possible in your profile. Revisit your profile every few months to make sure your data is correct. This will fetch you studies that need your opinions.

If nothing works out, try to change your preferences in the profile.

Does Opinionest offer a mobile app for surveys?

Yes, Opinionest offers an app for the ease and better experience of its respondents. The app is available with the same name on the Google app marketplace for Android phones.
