You'll have to fill in basic
information like:
- Name, Email
Address, Address, Phone Number & Date of Birth
- Choose a Password
- And maybe other things
And that's it, you should get an
email with your registration
details in it. Make sure to check your "Junk Mail" box too, just in
case.

Filling Out Your Profiles
Next you're going to want to log into your account and look over to the right. You'll see a section titled "Quick Match"; these are what you need to fill out in order to receive
email invites to surveys. They use your answers from these quick matches to
decide whether or not to send you particular survey invites. They're a sort
of pre-qualifier survey, to help ensure that you'll qualify for a good
percentage of the surveys you're invited to.
After
you've filled all of the quick match surveys out, they're pretty short,
you can sit back and wait for the
invites to arrive in your email. You won't get a ton at once or
anything, but you should get at the very least a couple a week.
It seems like every survey you're invited to will have a point
incentive and, as soon as you fully complete a survey, the points are
put right into your account. You just have to save up enough
points to get what you want. Personally, I like to save up for
Amazon gift certificates so I have to save up at least 550 points to
get a $5 gift card. If you want to save up for cash from PayPal, you'll have to save up at least 575 points to get $5 in cash. So, you may see why I opt for the gift cards instead.
What I've Made
Now let's take a look at what I've made so far with Lightspeed:
- $160.09 Total - 9/10/2008
(The list is a little too long to show it all)
If you go to the "Lightspeed Points Account", at the top left,
you can see what you've made so far too. (110 - 115 points = $1)
So you can see that you DO NOT have to pay to sign
up with survey companies like this and they can be profitable.
