1. What people like?
2. What people want from products/services?
3. Why certain products/services are preferred over other similar products/services?

Companies are willing to pay large amounts of money for this information as it helps them make better products & services. It also helps them to test products & services. So companies conduct market research (what is commonly called surveys) to get information from potential consumers. In the past the only way of doing this was by contacting people in the "real world". With access to the internet becoming common, companies are beginning to move the market research onto the internet as it has many advantages over the surveys done in the "real world". Some of the advantages are

1. Faster availability of results
2. Economical
3. Possible to contact a larger pool of panelists
4. Results are more representative as wider audience is available.

Overview
Currently the market research (direct/indirect consumer research only) industry is worth over US$7 Billion (annually worldwide).
Of this only 14% of surveys are conducted online, this figure will move up as more & more companies move their market research online.
This presents a tremendous opportunity for people who are willing to take these surveys. Its a win-win situation for everyone as the companies are able to get what information they want & the panelists (you) are able to get paid for doing surveys. The average surveys being done by most companies will increase dramatically with a concurrent increase in the average incentive level for each survey. So there are likely to be a lot of people who will be able to live on earnings through such surveys if they plan it right & have the right strategies.

However, this situation also presents a challenge. A lot of scam sites will try to get into the fray & dupe the panelists. They will profit to the detriment of the panelists & the companies. Infact, even now there are a huge number of such scams. So it is very important to join credible programs so that you can benefit from such opportunities. That's where we come into the picture.
