How to pick a survey-focused site

Survey-type point sites are a category aimed at "a few thousand to tens of thousands of yen a month in spare time". Unlike all-in-one point sites, the focus of evaluation is offer unit price and volume.

Where Powl fits

Powl is an ultra-rapid "1–3 seconds per survey" design. Where Macromill is "5–30 seconds per question for 10 yen", Powl is "1–3 seconds per question for 0.1 yen". It's optimized for filling spare moments rather than earning seriously.

Macromill's strengths

  • Volume: 5–20 pre-surveys delivered a day
  • Main surveys: 5–30 minutes for 50–500 yen equivalent
  • Focus groups: 90 minutes for 5,000–15,000 yen
  • Product tests: product shipped + survey for 1,000–3,000 yen equivalent
  • 300,000+ registered panelists, No.1 in the market-research industry

Combo strategy

For survey types, registering 3–4 sites is the right move. Routinize a rotation in order of volume — Macromill → Research Panel → Powl → infoQ — and 10,000–30,000 yen a month is within reach.
