My Personal Reccomendations for Making Money On the Internet Through Survey Websites and Focus Groups
posted August 26, 2008 - 2:00pmGreetings!!!
I have what I hope to be interesting and profitable information for you. We always are attempting to find a way to make a little extra money to suppliment our income. I have found a way via the Internet through joining internet survey and focus groups. These companies pay you to fill out surveys, providing your opinion for marketing purposes. They never give out your personal information to anyone; all they take from you is the survey answers you give. The best part is that you get paid in cash or gift cards, depending on the website.
Some of the research companies also pay you to shop. Would you like to earn points (exchangeable for gift certificates or money) for every dollar you spend shopping at various online stores? – OVERSTOCK.COM, DEL.COM, DRUGSTORE.COM, AMAZON.COM, Not a bad bargan.
Another way to make money on these sites is to sign up for trials offers. For example, get your three bureau credit report free plus $8.00 as long as you try a credit monitoring service free for one month; just cancel before your trial runs out, and you’ve got your reports and $8.00! How about getting $1.00 for requesting information on controlling migraine headaches. Would you like $10.00 for trying a movie rental service through the mail for a month for free?
Some survey sites offer you a cash bonus for getting your friends to sign up for their site. Some sites will give you a flat amount while others will give you a percentage of the total amount your referral earns. This is a great way to up your earnings, even if you only have a couple friends, family members, or acquaintances to refer. This is exactly what I am doing now: Telling you about survey programs I have personally found profitable and providing you my referral link, so you can sign-up and make money with them as well! Not all the survey companies I’ve listed have referral programs, so some links will take you straight to the company homepage, since there is no referral link; I’ve included these companies – even though I don’t get any referral bonus for telling you about them – because I want you to make as much money as possible through joining survey companies.
I’ve selected the sites listed below, all of which I am personally a member, specifically because, while some other internet survey sites enter you in sweepstakes rather than paying you for your work, all these sites give you either money or gift certificates for your efforts. Read the notes I have put down about these survey websites and then click on or cut and paste in your Internet address bar the link I have provided. If the link still brings no resolution, try using just the portion of the link just to the “.com” part, cutting off any extra letters or numbers after that point; only do this if the link on this page does not work and you have tried to cut and paste the link into your address bar without proper results.
