They let you know in the survey invitation how much you'll receive for completing it, or if it is a prize draw. The amount is generally based on what's involved in taking the paid survey - for example, if it is longer in length, or more complex, they'll usually pay a little more..

You can do loads of surveys and polls and you get rewarded with points for a huge range of things you do on the site. A survey can pay 5000 points, it's hard to say how long on average they take though. This isn't a conventional "job" - but it may help you earn some more money on the side.
