Work at Home: Get Extra Money Filling Out Surveys

You probably have seen ads inviting you to sign up to take surveys, participate in focus groups, or read e-mails for cash. There are opportunities for you to earn work at home, earning cash and prizes through any of these opportunities; just keep in mind that you probably won’t become a millionaire this way. You may be able to put gas in your car once in a while or buy groceries, depending on how much you eat.

Certainly, you should sign up for several survey companies, because you often won’t qualify for every survey offered. Don’t send money to sites that require you to pay money for a survey list or to take a survey. There are plenty of free surveys for you to take, and there are probably hundreds of listings of sites that you can access for free on the internet.

It will take time to fill out the application for the survey companies. Of course, taking the surveys also take time. People who make money completing surveys spend probably at least 30 minutes a day answering questions. It’s also important that you are consistent and check for new surveys daily.

Make sure that you carefully fill out your profile on the survey sites and answer all survey questions with honesty.

Consider applying to some of these companies to earn money while working at home.

American Consumer Opinion will send you screener surveys to complete. Once you finish the screener, you will be entered to win prizes. If you get the opportunity to complete a survey in the actual project, you will earn cash or prizes. You can also get the opportunity to test a product, which you can keep.

With Greenfield Online surveys you can be entered into sweepstakes or earn cash, depending on the survey. After your apply, you will be given an opportunity to choose surveys that you can immediately fill out.

NPD offers you the opportunity to be entered into a sweepstakes upon completing surveys. I’ve receive several invitations to complete surveys through this program. I’ve never been lucky enough to win a sweepstakes, though.

You will have to download software on your computer to participate in the Nielsen panel. That’s a small price to pay if you were to win $1,000 or some great prizes. The software you download tracks the internet sites you visit.

I just signed up for Pet Buddies.org, for surveys related to pet care. I completed a screener application and it turns out that I qualify to receive surveys and/or products to test.

I’ve learned that Survey Spot sends out surveys for cash and sweepstakes entries. You can also qualify to test products.

Survey Savvy will send you surveys you can complete for entry into a monthly sweepstakes. You can also earn money based on the people you refer who complete surveys.

If you ever see a banner advertising Pinecone Research, sign up! Pinecone Research is a reputable research company that pays $5 for each survey you take. They’ll send you e-mails inviting you to participate. You can get several invitations per month. You can’t apply on the website, and they don’t disclose where the banners are located, and I haven’t been able to find one recently. I had been a member of Pinecone, but I got too busy, didn’t complete surveys, and before I knew it, my user name and password wouldn’t work. If I could find another banner, you can bet that I’ll try applying again.
