How I Am Making Money While Sick in Bed

For many years, I searched and searched for a way to make money at home.  Most of the time, I'm too sick to go out much.  And for a very long time, I didn't think there was a way to make money from home.  I really thought it was all scams.  I spent alot of time praying that I would find the right thing.  And my prayers were answered.  Somehow, God put the idea in my head to reinvestigate paid Survey Sites.

Paid Survey Sites are sites that will pay you for doing surveys.  And the legitimate ones really do.  Even better, there are sites that have reward programs.  They not only pay you for doing the surveys, but they give you discounts on any shopping you might want to do.  And you can save up points or cash to get gift cards for stores like Amazon, if you want to.

How much money can you make?  There are people making several hundred dollars a month doing this.  However, it takes alot of work, persistance, patience, and belonging to more than one site.

How do you make the money?  The money is made in small amounts.  Most survey sites will pay you anywhere from fifty cents to a dollar to complete a survey.  Sometimes you get one that is worth more.  I did one this week and made seven dollars on one survey and it only took me ten minutes to do it!  Now, that might not sound like alot of money, but what happens is, if you look at what you are making per day and times that by the days in a month, see what you get.  Say you want to make three dollars a day.  Times the three dollars by thirty days in a month.  That is ninety dollars in your pocket.  What if you want to double that and make six dollars a day?  That's one hundred and eighty dollars a month in your pocket.  So, now you're wondering, what's the catch?

There is no catch.  You are self employed, working under your own steam.  You sign up at the sites for FREE, you do the daily surveys at each site every day.  You watch the money pile up.  Most sites will allow you to withdraw to Paypal or ask for a check, or you can choose a gift certificate, if you want. Minimum withdrawal for Paypal is usually a dollar.  Checks are usually five dollars and fifty cents.

There are fees.  Some sites charge fifty cents for a check, but they usually don't charge for you to withdraw to Paypal.  Paypal will charge you a dollar fifty to request a check, but nothing if you are verified and have it put in your bank account.  So when you are making money doing surveys, remember to take off for these fees.

Other things to know:  Read every faq at each site.  Learn when you can cash out and how often you need to stay active on the site.  Learn each site's rules.

You can get perks from referrals.  So definitely tell everyone to sign up.

Do these sites take international members?  YES!  If you are in the US, Canada or the UK, most of them will take you.  And some will even take others.  All you really need is a Paypal account.  If you have a Paypal account, you are good to go.

Will you get spammed?  Most sites will allow you to use a secondary email for anything you need to sign up at, so just get a free yahoo mail account or something for that.  Just make sure that when you want to get paid you have your real Paypal email in the Withdrawal area of each site.

What else should you know?  You will NOT qualify for every survey.  In fact, you might have to try ten times till you get one.  You might get an unlucky day and not get alot.  Try a different site when that happens.  Just keep trying and trying because you will get some and you will get paid.  Also, there are some shady ones where you will do it and at the end, they screw you over and say you didn't qualify for the "real" survey.  It happens.  Not that often, but it happens.  Or you can get "technical difficulties" right after you complete a survey.  Just be prepared that it can happen, and just clear your cookies and try again.  If you don't qualify for a survey, they usually let you keep trying till you do, or just go back to the original survey site you came from and start over.  Just clear the cookies.

Surveys can take anywhere from a few hours to a week to credit.  The sites are not scamming you, just wait a good week.  You'll see the money show up.  Some sites are faster than others.  Cashle usually credits me within a few hours.  QuickRewards credits me within two days.

Important:  Some sites like Cashle require you to click a green checkbox after completing a survey so you get paid.  DO IT.

Things to avoid:  Money Traps!  Some of these sites are full of money traps.  A money trap is an "offer" where you are supposed to sign up to do something.  DON'T!!!!  They will eat your profit.  You are here to make money, NOT to spend it.  This is why you should never stray from the Daily Survey areas.  Just do surveys.  Don't mess with "offers".  You can do a free newsletter signup, but make sure it's really free first.  Most sites will lie and say their "offers" are free.  No, they aren't.  Read the fine print, you have to "participate" or "complete additional offers".  Don't!  Just stay in the Daily survey area until you are very comfortable with a site and know what you are doing.

Now, how much money did I make so far?  Well, in two and a half weeks time this month, I made about fifty dollars.  That's working all the sites I'm going to list for you.  I worked each site, daily.  And that's with taking off for Paypal fees.

What are these surveys about?  Are they fun to do?  Every survey is random.  You might get a fun movie or tv survey where they want you to watch a trailer or ad, and then your next survey might be about motor oil for your car.  Half are fun, half are boring and tedious and too long.  I did get to play two trivia games on RewardTV for money one time from the Cashle site.  So I actually got paid to play games.  It really just depends on the site.  Look at it as a job.  Half the time, you'll have fun, half the time, not so much.

How long does it take to do each survey?  Surveys usually take a half hour to an hour to complete. They always lie and tell you fifteen minutes or twenty minutes. It's never true. I even had a crazy long one that took two hours and I was determined to stick it out and get my money. I did get credited for it at the end.

Tip:  If you have short term memory loss and they show you ads and trailers, they will ask you questions on what you saw.  You can take a printscreen and paste it into paint on your computer of the ad so you can refer back to it, or you can keep a pad handy and take notes.  Write down the brand, the company you saw, shape of the bottle, whatever.  

Are you ready to make money from your bed or couch now?  Here are my top sites for making money:

QuickRewards
This site is the best. You can do surveys, daily clicks, and they also have a great shopping discount program. You don’t have to shop or buy anything. You can just do surveys. There is no minimum payout. You can request your money at any time to Paypal. Surveys usually take a week to credit, then you’ll see the money show up. The site is free to join. You just sit back and earn money.

Cashle
Cashle is similar to Quickrewards. It's a bit more involved, you have to remember to check off that you completed a survey when you do one. But it seems to be a site to make fast money.  They credit me fast, usually within two hours on most surveys and stuff.  Beware of their "offer" area!  Stay out of it, till you know what you're doing.  Stick with the Daily Surveys!

Opinion Outpost
Strictly a survey site.  You won't get alot of surveys out of them in a month, but they pay well.  I made over eighteen dollars from them this month.  No Paypal, five dollar minimum cash out.

AdPaid
Not the most attractive looking site in the world, but they do pay after at least a week, maybe alittle more.

Treasure Trooper
A fun site with a kind of tiki island theme. It's similar to Quickrewards, but the payout is at twenty dollars and your Paypal account must be verified. Accepts both US and UK members. Has daily surveys you can do.  It's just a good change of pace from the other sites, even though you have to wait longer to get your money.

Dollarsurveys
I made five dollars this week off them. And I have a few more surveys waiting to credit. There is nothing to join here. You just give them your Paypal email address. Every survey you take, they give you a dollar. They let you do a few in a day, then their site will say there aren’t anymore surveys. So you just wait till the next day and start again.  The only drawback is, you have no way of tracking how much money you're making or what survey credited.  But they will pay you.

I hope this blog answered all your questions.  Just try it, make money from home.  It does add up at the end of the month.  Have fun.
