Getting to use part of our free time to earn income is always a possibility to explore and we can do it with Google. The technology giant has a paid survey application that it does not usually make known very often and with which you can get some eurillos that you did not expect for some digital purchases.
Specifically, the application is called Google Opinion Rewards or simply Google Rewards and it uses certain data such as your location history or the videos you’ve seen on YouTube to carry out half-minute surveys that reward you with money.
Earn money with Google Rewards
Google Rewards is a micro-survey application in which you can participate in surveys carried out by market researchers and be rewarded for it. You’re not going to get rich and you shouldn’t quit your regular job, but it’s a great way to get extra money effortlessly and without having to do anything special for it.
The operation is usually simple and the vast majority there are two types of surveys. On the one hand, if location history permission is given, it will ask us (generally the next day) if we have been in a store to choose from among several. If yes, it will ask a series of questions about whether we bought something, bought online and picked it up there, etc. Finally, they usually ask what was the form of payment.
In this way, the main way that Google Rewards collects data is linked to how much or little you move and visit sites . If you are an active person, they will be very interested in your answers and will send you more surveys. If you hibernate and don’t move from home… they won’t have any interest in you.
Another type of survey that I usually receive since I installed Google Rewards (although to a lesser extent than the previous case) has to do with my YouTube history. Sometimes they show me the thumbnail of a video, ask if you’ve seen it and what you thought , if it filled an information need, entertained you, or is it going to have a long-term impact. The fact is that with a couple of simple touches to the mobile screen you will have already accumulated more balance.
You will not get rich, but it helps in digital purchases
By completing these short surveys, which will notify you if there are any new ones in the form of a notification, you will be able to accumulate a balance that you can use later whenever you want, since it is automatically linked to your Google Play account.
Every time you are going to make a payment for a streaming service, video game, DLC or digital add-on that you think of buying in the Google application store, you will see that this balance obtained through Google Rewards surveys is available to be used.
It can also be linked to PayPal and we can withdraw the balance in this way. The option to redeem Google Rewards balance for PayPal balance is only available for iOS users, since there is no Play Store for them and the balance they earn cannot be used in any other way.
The number of euros that you are going to obtain will be approximately 2 or 3 euros per month, since there are some that give you just 8 cents and others half a euro. In my personal case, in one year answering these small surveys I have answered a total of 119 and I have obtained 25.81 euros . They have not made me a millionaire, but they have helped me pay for a month of subscription to a platform, get some credits for a game and not have to put a penny out of my pocket.
Of course, you also have to be careful with the traps . Google only wants real testimonials and will run control surveys from time to time. Some of them only serve to see if certain things in your life have changed and have more control over the type of profile you have and on other occasions it will try to trick you into selecting where you have been from a list in which there is no possible true answer. and you will have to select none. If you are repeatedly caught cheating, you will be removed from the program and no more surveys will be available to you.
