Friday Finds!: Survey Sites

Do you like giving your opinion on new ideas, new products, etc? Do you like earning some extra cash? Do you already spend time in front of your computer wondering what next to look at? If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, today is your lucky day. Because today is my Friday Finds post and today I am talking surveys!

 I first heard about paid surveys last year after I read a blog post about these survey sites and decided to check it out. Some of the sites require you to sign up and you get inundated with emails about "special offers" and entries into contests that require you to register for a trial version of a product, etc. I made the mistake and did sign up for one of those sites and my email was indundated with hundreds of email offers over the next few days. It was a nightmare. I ended up deleting the email account and never returned to that site again. I won't even tell you the name of that site and I doubt it's even in existance today.

I did find a few sites that I trust and that's what I want to share today for my Friday Finds. I started with PineCone Research last year and I really enjoy it. You are sent an email at least once a month (depending on your profile and survey availability) and after you log in and go through a pre-screening, you are taken to the survey. Most surveys take less than 20 minutes and they pay $3.00. Not bad. I use PayPal so the money goes into my PayPal account within a few days. Enough for a cup of coffee. That's fine. :) This site doesn't always take new members so you need to check back often if they aren't taking anyone right now.

The other survey site that I use is Opinion Outpost. This survey site has been a lot of fun to work with. You complete a series of profiles and based on those, you get sent surveys to complete. If you qualify, you can earn points. 10 points=$1.00. Sometimes, you may not qualify for a survey and they will give you a chance to try another survey. You can redeem your points in $10 increments and they mail you a check almost right away. Jason LOVES this survey site. I stopped doing these surveys because you can only have one person per household registered and since I didn't have time to do these he kept his profile active. Ah, the things we do for love. Ha! You can refer others to join Opinion Outpost and if those that sign up through your link earn money, you earn money as well. So...if you sign up through THIS LINK RIGHT HERE my husband will be forever grateful. :) 

So, surveys. They are a fun way to make some extra money. Don't expect to be able to quit your job and just stay home and complete surveys all day...but you can make some extra cash by just giving your opinion. How easy is that?

Do you have any fun easy ways to make a few extra bucks online? If so, share them!
