Surveys and Money Making

When I first decided to stay at home with Sammy, I started looking at ways to earn extra spending money while being at home.

While couponing certainly is the best and most profitable way for me to slash my budget, I have also had pretty good sucess with other money making opportunities. Not anything that is going to make me rich by any stretch of the imagination, but this does help pay for a date night a month, an extra Christmas present or even the water bill.

I do this through a variety of methods that I do while sitting in front of the television or whatever.

Surveys are the biggest way to earn for me.

Mindfield Online Surveys is a great survey company with a low payment threshold. Once you hit 5 dollars you can cash out! I love that I can get my money quickly and easily. The surveys themselves are no issue, and not overly long in comparison.

Panda Research is the newest survey company that I signed up for. It looks to be a higher paid survey company (around 3.00 - 75.00) and also has a pay for click email program. You can cash out at 50 dollars, so the payment threshold is higher, but if the surveys are higher paying it all works out.

Global Test Market has easy to do surveys, you get a lot of them to complete, and if you are going to screen out, they do it quickly. You need 1000 points to cash out and surveys run anywhere from 75-150 points a piece.

Ipsos I Say is also a great survey company with quick screen out. I get several opportunities a week from them to take surveys and have been pleasantly surprised with the length of them.

Other Programs:

Nielson Digital Voice is a program that rewards you for surfing the internet. Simply sign up, install the software and they will enter you into their monthly giveaway for prizes as long as the program is installed. I havent won yet, but I am hopeful. Other than installing the software, I dont even have to think about this to participate.

Inbox dollars is a great program that you earn for simply clicking on email. There are tons of other things you can do, but I do the email only. This gives me money simply for clcking. Cash out is at 30 dollars and I have cashed out once already.

Swagbucks
is a program I talk about a ton, but that is because it is supplying a big chunk of my christmas fund. I have earned tons of swagbucks for doing searches that I would be doing anyway. Easy peasy

Hopefully this info helps you all start earning from home today! There are a lot of scams out on the internet, so make sure that you are never paying for survey opportunities. All these that I list, I have had personal experience with.

One of the best tips I can share is to have a seperate email addy for your surveys. This way you not only have all your surveys in one place, but you wont have to worry about your inbox gettting cluttered with stuff.
