Online Surveys

I have been working on the online surveys for a few weeks now. I decided to sign up with the top five survey sites on the list from the Moola Days blog I wrote about in my last post. All these sites offer points for surveys done online. The point systems are different for each site. The bottom line is that after you accumulate the appropriate amount of points, you can redeem them for cash. This, of course, is sent in the form of a check.

At this point I am a little frustrated. There have been multiple incidents where I was working on a survey for 20-30 minutes just to be told that they have received enough responses. Plus, I have been screened out of more surveys than I have been a part of. I usually receive invitations for at least 5 surveys a day from various sites. I maybe get through one of the five surveys. More often than not, I am screened out of all of them. This makes it really difficult to make any money doing online surveys. In any case, I am going to keep working at it. I think there is potential if I can stick with it.

Another Idea

When I was originally doing research to figure out how I could make a little extra money, I stumbled upon a blog called 101 Ways to Make Money.  The first idea on the list of 101 is to make money doing paid online surveys.  It then goes on to talk about and suggest using SurveyMastermind.  I looked into SurveyMastermind, and I got a little concerned.  Everything I found online seemed to mention it being a scam.  So, I decided not to include it as a part of my original plan.

Then, recently, I stumbled upon another blog called Moola Days.  It is yet another blog with lots of helpful information as it pertains to making extra money.  Most importantly, there are multiple blog posts in regards to paid online surveys.  The most notable being A List of ‘Get Paid to Take Surveys’ Sites.  This post gives information on many sites that pay individuals for doing surveys online.  In fact, the one's listed are only those that the writer (Albert Fang) has received money from.  He goes on in other posts to review many of the sites as well as give his favorites.

So, after some thought, I have decided to give this a try.  I'm going to start with some of the sites on Albert's list.  I will let you know how it goes.

If any of you have any insight on this or other ideas I could try, let me know.
