What Topics Do Paid Surveys Actually Ask About?

A very common question before starting is: what are surveys actually about? The answer is reassuring: they ask about everyday things you already know inside out, because brands want the opinion of ordinary consumers, not experts. In this article we cover what topics you will be asked about on encuentaspagadas.com and why your daily experience is exactly what they are looking for.

The most frequent broad topics

• Food and drink. What you buy at the supermarket, which brands you prefer, what you think of a new product or a package.
• Technology. Your phone, your apps, your online shopping habits, your opinion on a new feature.
• Banking and finance. How you manage your money, what you value in a bank or a finance app, your experience with payments.
• Leisure and media. What you watch, what you listen to, how you spend your free time, your opinion on an advert.
• Shopping and habits. How you decide a purchase, what influences you, your experience with a shop or service.
• Health and wellbeing, travel, cars… depending on the studies active at any given moment.

Why they ask about these things

Brands and market research companies need to understand consumers before launching a product, changing a price or designing a campaign. Instead of guessing, they ask real people. The industry follows professional standards from bodies like ESOMAR, and your honest opinion about products you already use has real commercial value: that is why they pay you for it, between €0.15 and €5 per survey.

How it is decided which surveys reach you

Not every survey goes to everyone. Studies look for specific groups, and the system assigns you those you fit based on your demographic profile (year of birth, gender, country and postcode). So the more complete your profile, the more relevant surveys you receive, on topics you genuinely have something to say about. Review your profile and your available surveys here.

What they will never ask you

A legitimate survey focuses on your opinions and habits as a consumer. It will never ask for passwords, bank details or money. If a so-called «study» asks for that, it is not a real survey: it is a scam attempt. We pay via PayPal, so we never need your financial data.
