My Money Making Journey

All over the internet, you read promises that you can earn hundreds of dollars by taking surveys online. While I cannot say that this is entirely false, in general, it does not hold up. It is true that many survey companies will offer you $75-$100 for taking part in area focus groups or testing a product in your home. But on a daily basis you will most likely receive e-mails that offer surveys that require anywhere from 5-60 minutes of your time with rewards that range anywhere from a couple of cents to double digit dollars. Other survey companies offer you points that you can redeem for things like vacations, televisions, etc. In this picture is just a couple of checks that I have received for doing surveys over the last couple of weeks. The 4 checks that you see up top are from a company called PineCone Research. I just joined in mid August and they have been great about sending me surveys. What I love about this company is that they send out checks immediately so that when I complete a 10 minute survey, they send out my $3.00 almost immediately. The check out front is from MindField Online. A $21 check for a bout 4 or 5 surveys isn't too bad. What is great is that I am a member of at least 10 of these survey companies so that I am earning similar amounts in each.

Taking surveys online will not make you rich, so I think you should dispel that rumor immediately. But these surveys offer a really nice and stable income that will allow you to earn a couple hundred every month.

It was just by luck that I happened to get involved with surveys. As a bonus for joining ProjectPayday, I received a complementary membership to SurveyScout. Don't be fooled, you should never have to pay to join a survey panel, nor should you have to pay to receive access to a list of companies that will pay for your opinions. Here is an abridged list of some of the survey companies that pay for my opinion:

MindField Online
Global Opinion Panels (Synovate)
Survey Savvy
InboxDollars
SendEarnings
PineCone Research

The great thing about surveys is that everything is completely on your terms. You can take surveys when you want, and not when you don't. Granted, the more active you are in each company, the more surveys you will receive and the more money you will earn!

If you would like a comprehensive list, just comment with your e-mail and I would be happy to send you a complete list.
