Once you've signed up, Valued Opinions requires you to submit personal details on a number of categories - personal and household income levels, Insurance policies, children, business, medical specialties, health conditions, banking, investing, mobile devices, automotive and leisure. You will answer questions like:

• What is the annual turnover of your company for the last fiscal year?
• How much input do you have in your company's decision-making process for the purchase of Accounting, Tax or Financial Services, Catering / Food Services and Marketing?
• What is the approximate number of servers in your company, including all locations?
• What types of music do you enjoy?
• What types of books do you enjoy?
• What food do you enjoy?

If you can make it through the 100+ questions required to set up your profile, you'll start to receive survey invites from Valued Opinions.
​

Some users report receiving near-daily invites, while others bemoan the rarity of survey opportunities. As explained above, your buying power has a lot to do with how many surveys you will receive, and what type. Generally, the following applies:

• High number of survey invites: Full-time workers, parents with young children, anyone earning above an average salary. 
• Medium number of survey invites: Stay-at-home parent with working partner, young adults at school or higher education.
• Low number of survey invites: Retired, unemployed and low-income.

​

There is no exception to this, so if you are looking for paid cash surveys or online work, Valued Opinions isn't for you.

Based on our research and observations of the surveys offered, we estimated that you would earn around $7/hour. The convenience is you can do the work from home, and it's flexible based around your available hours. Still, there are easier and more stimulating ways to earn extra income.
​

Valued Opinions wants to gather information from people who regularly spend money. If you have a young family and average household income, chances are Valued Opinions wants to hear from you. If you're retired or unemployed, it's likely your spending power is lower, so less Valued Opinions surveys will be forthcoming. 
​
Furthermore, Valued Opinions likes and rewards the users who regularly complete surveys. If you play by their rules and achieve a good response rate, you will earn 'badges'. These are Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond. The higher your badge, the more opportunities you will receive as Valued Opinions knows you are reliable and trustworthy.
​

Valued Opinions emails new opportunities that are already live - if you wait a day, or even a few hours, they may disappear because the quota of survey applicants has been reached. The best way to be sure of successfully completing a survey is to check Valued Opinions' as soon as you read a survey notification and have 20-30 minutes spare to complete it. 

Sadly, this is a well-known fact about online surveys. Valued Opinions is aware of this and doesn't make the surveys long - you should never spend more than 30 minutes on one survey. If you have the patience and willingness to complete such tasks, Valued Opinions will keep its end of the deal and reward you with credit. 
​

Some users have reported issues of being locked out of their accounts with little or no help from Valued Opinions' customer support. To minimise the risk of any lost earnings, a popular approach is to redeem vouchers when you have enough credit in your account. For example, don't wait until you have $40 to redeem two $20 Farmers vouchers - redeem one $20 Farmers voucher when your account reaches $20.
