Hello and welcome to my site. I have been earning money from surveys, panels, focus groups, etc. for over three years now and I will show you how to do the same. If you just want to make some extra money, or earn a pretty good income, I will show you how it”s done. So lets get started.
The first thing you’ll need to do is set up a free e-mail account. Use this e-mail address when signing up with the survey companies. This will keep all your survey info in one place. Two good places to get these accounts are hotmail.com and gmail.com.
Next you will need a form filler to make it a lot easier to fill in info on all of the survey sites. I will be showing you a boatload of sites so this will come in handy. There are several free online or some browsers, like Firefox, support this.
The next step is to get a Paypal account at Paypal.com, if you don’t already have one. Request a debit card as this is an easy way to access your money.
Now you will need to start signing up at all of the survey company sites. I have provided links to all of the sites I currently use and trust, and also links to other sites I am currently checking out. These are on separate pages. Sign up with as many as you are comfortable with daily. Make sure you fill out all of your profiles as these are how the companies select which surveys to send you. Bookmark each site you go to so you can easily find it again if you need to. While you are on each site, look around and get familiar with their payment system. For example, find out how much each point is worth and the amount you need to cash out. Some sites are set to pay one dollar per one hundred points. Some pay one dollar per three hundred points, and some pay one dollar per one thousand points. You will need to know this to decide if a survey is worth your time. Surveys can pay anywhere from fifty cents to fifty dollars.
All of the sites I show you pay cash in one way or another. They either send you a check, pay with a reward card like Visa, or pay directly into your Paypal account. I only list sites that have cash as one of their payment options. I have not listed any that pay by sweepstakes, magazine subscriptions, etc. If there is an interest in these in the future, I will list them also.
What happens next? The survey companies will start sending you survey invites. They usually send low paying surveys first to see if you are serious. Try to qualify for and complete as many as you can. Once they see that you are dedicated, they will send you better paying surveys. You will have to qualify for each survey invite. This involves answering some preliminary questions to see if you are a good fit with this particular subject. A lot of times you won’t qualify. Don’t get discouraged. It happens to me all the time. Just go to the next survey. This is why it is important to be registered with as many survey companies as possible. I have gotten to the point where I can choose the best paying surveys from all of the opportunities I have each day.You can do as many or as few as you like each day, but it’s good to have a lot to choose from. Also please remember to take your time and answer all survey questions honestly. If you don’t, you will be disqualified on revue.
Please Note That There Are Two Survey Links : One link is Approved Sites. These are survey sites that I use and recommend. The other link is Unapproved Sites. These are sites I have found but have not researched. Use these sites at your own discretion. I will add these to the approved list once I have checked them out thoroughly.
I have also included links for :
Panels : Surveys are my bread and butter but panels pay the big bucks. These can include online or in person focus groups, forums, bulletin boards, phone interviews, etc. These last anywhere from one half hour to three hours and can pay anywhere from fifty dollars to five hundred dollars. The panels will send you invites to complete some preliminary questions and if your a good fit, they will call or e-mail you with additional questions to qualify you.
Mock Juries : A lot of attorneys will get a group of people over the internet to present a case to before going to trial to see how that defense or charge plays out with a jury. The payment amount varies on these.
Web Cam Surveys : These usually require you to navigate a web site and answer questions while being recorded by a web cam. They usually pay five to ten dollars each and usually last 30 minutes. I also include some that don’t require a web cam. They pay five dollars each.
Mail Surveys : These are surveys that arrive in the mail. You fill them out and mail them back in the provided postage paid envelope. They usually have payment in cash included in envelope. NOTE : If you take the money and don’t do the survey, you will never get another. Payment is usually five to ten dollars.
Universities : Most have surveys that the public can take online. These pay according to the study, usually five to twenty dollars.
Product Tests : I have included links for some these, however a lot of times I will get into a survey and end up being asked to test a product. Some of the panels also do this occasionally. They can pay anywhere from five dollars to one hundred dollars, plus you usually get to keep the product.
Paid E-Mails : I have links to a couple of these that I use to get a little extra money.
I have some sites that also pay by gift certificate to Amazon.com. These sometimes have a larger reward than if you took cash. I just got a new H.P. ProBook doing this, so it’s something to consider.
Lastly, doing surveys can be fun. You get to see a lot of products before they come out and you can influence their design, name, logo, or a ton of other stuff. I get a kick out of seeing a product released that I was part of, or watching a TV show or commercial I previewed. If you have any questions,and you probably will, you can post them or contact us through :
