method #2 -> Paid surveys ($20-30 per month)

Just thought I would pass along some tips for making the best possible survey experience and making sure you qualify to get paid for it

1)Answer everything honestly, you will get caught if you lie.

2)Take time and read every question, if you go too fast, you will be disqualified. It may be tempting to rush through the survey if you have things to do, but the faster you go, the more chance you have of not getting paid.

3)PAY ATTENTION! I know surveys can be long and boring, but some survey companies place trick questions to see if you really are paying attention. If you don't answer a 'test question' correctly, you will be disqualified and may get booted from the survey company.

4)Answer all quickie surveys that get sent out, even if there is no payment for it (only sweepstakes entries). Answering the quick surveys helps you get qualified for future surveys that will pay you.

5)Be patient for payments, a lot of survey companies only pay by check and it can take anywhere from 2-6 weeks to receive your money.

6)Sign up for paypal! There are survey companies that by with this method and it usually only takes a couple days to receive payment. You can then request a transfer to your bank account, or spend it on ebay or other websites that take paypal.

7)Do product testing! It's been mentioned in this thread, it's free products and payments are very generous. I'm about to embark on a 9 month product test where i will get paid $100 at the end.

Ive tried those survey websites before and ive never had any luck simply because i didnt qualify for any... I got real excited about all of them but then it just didnt happen for me..but i think every person is different!

I qualify for maybe 15% of the surveys I get, not great, but still it's free money when I'm sitting at home doing nothing.

Thank-you for the information.

An update, I have received payment from MySurvey, Lightspeed, SurveySavvy, Opinion Outpost, Inboxdollars, SurveySpot and Synovate. Plus I also received checks from Acop and Mindfield Panel.

All I'm waiting for now is GlobalTestMarket and Your2Cents. I know Global always takes about 6 weeks but not sure about the other one. Just have to wait and see!

i'm just signed up with most of these companys here. you can get the list of them at at amylynn.org

i signed up sunday after thanksgiving (me and my brother), adn have like 151 lightspeed points, $7 from your2cents4teens, 225 points from mysurvey, 30 points from opinionoutpost, $6 from valuedopinions (cashout is a $20 giftcard), and none from survey savvy.

i signed up with fgi research, and got a couple dollars, but since i don't have a paypal account, i can keep filling out surveys and not make anything. with a paypal account they would be great

i've tried to sign up with pinecone research, but can't get in. it would be GREAT if i could. i've read all over the internet that they are the best company out there. man, i can't wait once they start recruiting! my mom's best friend was in there, and she had no idea that it is the hardest survey company out there to get in to! she didn't even know the potential of paid surveys.

my brother and i are signed up with dailysurvey, and he qualifies for almost any survey, and i haven't qualified a for a single survey .

i would appreciate any tips!

try some product testing websites. I'm doing one right now paying me $100 to test a toilet bowl cleaner for a few months. I'm also receiving a package in the mail soon where I will test 6 cans of soup. Getting paid $50 for that

I've tried a few surveys. It just seems like the MORE I do on them, (..and it doesn't matter which company it is..) the LESS I get 'credited' for or 'qualify' for. It's almost like they are a waste of my time now. However.....I'm not putting down those who they have worked out for.

I've been with Global Test Market for a few months now. I have not tried to cash out with them yet. I have over 1000 points but waiting to build up some more. I will cash out in late april for my trip hom in July.

One thing I also like is the part time job im at right now. When its slow and since i work overnight it usually is really slow I can do the surveys and get paid for doing it and working!!

I wish I qualified for more of the Surveys. I never seem to get the big ones that is worth a 100 points or more.

Merry Christmas! :

Update time, in just the last couple months, here's what I've gotten paid or am waiting for a check.

Lightspeed - $20
MySurvey - $20
SurveySpot - $57
Opinion Outpost - $23.30
Acop - $5
Survey Saavy - $3
Greenfield Online - $14
Pinecone - $12

Still in the process of doing the toilet bowl cleaner product test for $100 but never got to do the chicken noodle soup test for $50. When signing up for the soup test, I forgot to provide my apartment number so the package got sent to my address, but another apartment and I never located the package (I have a couple dishonest neighbors)

Surveys are worth it!! You just have to be patient and dedicated.

where can you do product tests? i always find the regular old survey sites..

Pinecone research does a lot of product tests. Most of the surveys they send out, at the end of the survey will ask you if you would be willing to try out a product for them. That's not a guarantee you will be invited to test.

The other product tests I've done were straight though the various survey sites. You might want to try looking around online for product test websites.

ok thanks i was just curious because it seems like there is more money to be made with them
