The survey industry dates to the late 19th/early 20th century—over 100 years old. It mainly has unpaid and paid types. Unpaid surveys are mostly for public welfare—simple and suitable for most. Paid surveys relate more to company products, with stricter requirements and only specific groups qualifying. Knowing the basics, you understand how it earns: take paid surveys and receive compensation. Currently domestic paid surveys pay around ¥1–5—relatively low, suited to students. Overseas paid surveys pay around \$1–20, about 7x the efficiency, but require a foreign IP and matching software. For experienced people, overseas surveys are a great income source—10K–50K RMB/month.
