Paid Surveys FAQ

Following are the top 5 frequently asked questions about Paid Surveys.

Q: I have heard of paid surveys, but I am still skeptical. Why would anyone pay me to take a survey?
A: The answer is very simple. Companies spend millions of Rands on advertising and, in order to promote their product or service properly, they must research the market and know whether or not it's worth their time and money. This is where paid surveys come in. Before they spend a lot of money on advertising, many companies would rather pay some participants to voice their thoughts and opinions on a product and/or it's need.

Q: How will I know if a company offering online surveys is legitimate?
A: If a company promises you instant wealth, look out. The truth is that your own success is determined by the amount of time and effort that you put into the job and nothing more. A company cannot promise you overnight riches and, if they do, walk away. The only thing that will get you rich overnight is the lottery and everything else takes both time and work. Other signs that a paid surveys company may not be worth your time is if they have poor customer reviews and/or complaints lodged against them.

Q: I want to participate in paid surveys, but I'm not sure that I have the time. How long will it take?
A: The majority of paid surveys will take less than 15 minutes of your time and, best of all, you can complete them according to your schedule. Unlike a traditional job, you won't have a boss standing over your shoulder and waiting to growl at you if the work isn't done. If you don't have time, simply turn down the opportunity. You will still remain a member of the paid surveys website and will continue to receive surveys as they become available. When you work at home, you set the hours and you work as little or as much as you want.

Q: Will my income be taxable?
A: When you participate in online surveys regularly, you may need to pay taxes on the income. In most cases, you would be considered as self-employed . The marketing research company who provides the paid surveys will not typically withhold taxes, so it will be up to you to make sure that your income is properly reported as required.

Q: Will I be able to quit my day job and get rich with paid surveys?
A: Online surveys are not designed to make you rich, but they can provide you with a terrific source of supplemental income. Whether you need some extra money every month or you simply like having a few extra bucks in your wallet, participating in paid surveys may be well worth your time and effort. Because it lacks the common hassles associated with starting your own business and requires that you provide nothing more than your opinion, an opportunity to work with paid surveys may give your bank account a real boost.

Herbalife Says No Lead Issue

LOS ANGELES, Jun 08, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
Testing conducted at a leading independent laboratory has confirmed that Herbalife products do not contain levels of lead that would require labeling under California Proposition 65 disclosure requirement. The company added to its ongoing compliance program by conducting extensive retesting of multiple product batches at the prestigious independent laboratories Covance (for U.S.) and Eurofins (for EU) before responding to recent allegations.

There was never any health or safety issue with Herbalife products. Inaccurate and misleading information released by a group that calls itself an independent fraud-discovery organization led to sensational media and online news coverage. The group's founder Barry Minkow admits profiting from "puts" on Herbalife stock.

"It's very easy to create fear by using words like 'lead' and 'dangerous' together," said Herbalife Chief Scientific Officer Steve Henig, Ph.D. "and then add the word 'children' to make it even scarier. It's a fact that many natural and processed foods including vegetables and dairy products as well as our products, which are made with natural ingredients, contain extremely small amounts of naturally occurring lead that can be detected by today's highly sensitive analytical methods but are insignificant in posing any risk to consumers."

In response to an additional misleading news release from the Minkow group, Herbalife clarifies that Peruvian authorities are not "leaning towards a ban of all Herbalife products." All Herbalife products are in compliance with DIGESA's and DIGEMID's (both are part of the Peruvian Ministry of Health) regulations, and are approved and certified for sale by these government entities. There has been no issue with the Peruvian authorities. The sensational headlines citing 'excessive lead' did prompt inquiries from authorities in Singapore, Poland and Hong Kong, all of which were resolved when the facts were presented.

Herbalife stands behind the safety and benefits of its products and the value of its direct-selling business opportunity for those who want to earn part-time or full-time income working from home. The company will continue to defend its reputation against those who seek to profit from negative news about the company.

Why Everybody Needs Good Nutrition

As much as 70% of common ailments are diet and weight-related.

A daily intake of vitamins, minerals and nutrients are essential to good health and vitality. In an ideal world, we would obtain a correct balance of vitamins, minerals and nutrients from the food we eat. But with today's hectic lifestyle and poor eating habits, this is often impractical, resulting in a lower level of nutrition than desirable.

Weight problems and nutritional deficiencies are widespread in our society, mainly due to bad eating habits such as overeating, skipping meals and "yo-yo" dieting. Stress, medication, smoking, alcohol and poor eating habits all lead to decreased nutrient absorption.

Many people who try to lose weight quickly abuse their bodies with radical and unsafe slimming methods. Minimal, or reduced-calorie diets rarely provide the full nutrition that our bodies require and can lead to long-term health disorders. Harsh dieting also robs us of all enjoyment from eating. After long periods of dieting and self-denial, many people fail to maintain their desired weight and put back every kilo they lost - and more!

If your diet provides you with less than optimum nutrition, you will likely need to supplement your diet with vitamins, minerals and other nutritional factors.

Our bodies are composed of trillions of tiny building blocks - living cells which grow, die and are replaced many times over during our lifetimes. As all nutrition is absorbed at this level, our bodies need good nutrition for them to perform their vital functions of metabolism: growth, repair, detoxification and reproduction.

Our Shapeworks Weight Management Programme assists with micronutrient supplementation. This can allow to reduce our caloric intake while maintaining vitamin, mineral and nutrient factors essential to good health. We provide these factors in an easily digestible form, so our body can absorb them, even when there has been a history of poor eating, excessive dieting or illness.
