Easy Money

Today was an unusually good survey day.  I got paid eight dollars to watch a one hour British tv show that will air on BBC America.  I did have to take some notes because they asked two plot questions to prove I watched it.  But it was fine, I finished the survey and got paid.  That was through Opinion Outpost.  I highly recommend joining them.  They have been paying me pretty well for awhile.  Interestingly enough, this survey was from OTX.  Most people hate OTX.  My experience with OTX has been mixed.  Sometimes, you get lucky and get a good survey out of them, other times, they will kick you out or screw you at the end.  It's always a gamble when you take an OTX survey.  I like doing their movie and tv surveys when they let me.

Reminder tip, always try to clear the cookies and browser cache before doing each survey because just forgetting one time can cause you to not be credited.

Shampoo and Conditioner

Today, I got a box in the mail with a full sized shampoo and conditioner from a survey company.  Totally free.  All I have to do is use it for a week and send them back a short questionnaire.  So, I got paid for the original survey and I got free products.  Very worth doing it.

I got paid again from Pinecone Research.  Yes, you only get a few surveys from them, but they pay three bucks a survey and it adds up.

Cashle and QuickRewards are still paying me regularly and Cash4Free.  All three credit pretty fast.  And I did get paid from Dollarsurveys again.  It's all worth doing.  I had to pay for a prescription med today that my insurance wouldn't cover, and my earnings paid for it.  I was real grateful that I had it.

Got Paid from Cash4Free Today

I posted a testimonial at their site and you can see my proof pic here.  It took me about a week to make $17.80 from them.  But they definitely paid me.  They only pay to verified Paypal accounts, so you have to be verified first.  And the first time you ask for your money, they will send an automated phone message to you with a pin number to confirm your account.  It can be to a cell phone, I didn't have any problems.

I made this money just doing surveys all week at their site. 

Commisions and Referrals Myths

I really wanted to post the truth when it comes to commissions and referrals from any of these survey and reward sites.  I've been hassled by people about it to the point of someone getting my Yahoo Answers account suspended just for posting a link to this blog in questions on how to make money online.  People have a huge misconception when it comes to what you can make off a referral.  The truth is, you really don't make anything at all, no matter what the website claims.

I have nineteen referrals on QuickRewards.  You want to know what I've made off them?  Eleven cents total!  That's it.  You do not make money off referrals, you make money off doing the actual work of the surveys or any offers you do on the sites.  And IMO, the offers are a total waste and most of them don't credit.  So really, you have to do surveys and that's it.

My Cashle account, I've got ten referrals, they do pay you fifty cents per referral, however, if that person happens to sign up from the wrong country, you do not get paid.  So, out of my ten, a few were from the wrong country.  Seriously, you can't get much money at all off a referral on these sites.

It's still always a good idea to post your referral link anyway in case you do get some perk off a site, but you are still going to have to really work for the money.

I just find it upsetting when people think I'm phishing for referrals by posting the link.  They just don't get it, you don't make anything that way.  What am I going to do with eleven cents?  Really.

It's also sad that so many people don't see a real thing when it's right in front of them because of all the scammers on the net.  My method works.  The sites I use are real.  You won't make a ton of money, you will make enough at the end of the month for a good week's worth of groceries, if you put the time into it.  You really can make money from home off the internet without any scams.  And I feel sorry for those that don't believe it.  All you have to do is try one site, do a few surveys and in a few days time, you'll see the money.  But don't expect to make it off referrals, cause seriously, you won't.  Even I was surprised that with nineteen referrals, all I got was eleven cents in over a month.   

Survey Says

So far, Cash4Free took a full 24 hours to credit me, but they did credit me. The payout is at fifteen dollars to Paypal. Each survey is worth .80 cents and you can do five in a day. So, if you manage to qualify for most of them, you can make four dollars a day and in less than a week, you can have fifteen dollars from this site. They also have the usual round of offers, but I try to stay away from them since most are designed to get you to spend that money you just made. Just stick to the surveys and you can make money. If all you do is surveys from this site, you should be able to make a good sixty dollars a month. So if you combine this site with QuickRewards and Cashle, you can do pretty good. I'm averaging between a hundred and a hundred and twenty dollars or so a month, it's a good week's worth of groceries or nearly my entire cable bill.  I'm still working Opinion Outpost whenever I can manage to qualify for one of their surveys.  And I still do Dollarsurveys when I can.

It's really not a bad way to make extra money.  Some surveys are way too long, though.  I did one yesterday about video games and it took over an hour.  And the whole time, I was like, OMG, I'm only getting a few cents for this hour.  But really, at the end of the month, it adds up to alot more than a few cents. 

Cash4Free

While hunting around for more sites, I came across Cash4Free.  This site is just like Cashle and QuickRewards, except, they pay higher for the surveys.  They pay you .80 cents per survey and you can do about five of them per day.  They credit you at midnight the following day.  Cashout is to Paypal with a fifteen dollar minimum, however, at the high rate they pay you for the surveys, you can make that in a few days time.  And people have said they pay pretty fast when you request your payout.  Definitely worth trying this site.

Pinecone

Pinecone Research is open again.  You might want to try signing up.  They pay three dollars per survey, however, you won't get many.  I've only gotten one since I signed up, but I did get paid.

Walmart has a few samples back up, so you might want to check their website.

Here's a really cute freebie, it's a USB Flash drive totally free with a Xmas santa on it.

I wasn't sure whether or not to leave up ParadiseClicks.  Some people said they are a scam, but I think it's that they take four months from the time you request a payout, which truly sux.  So it's up to you if you want to use them.  I'm still looking for much faster paying sites.
