Make Money By Completing Surveys

There are many ways to make extra cash to add to the family income. Surveys can be one of those ways. Companies contract survey companies to get opinions on their products by way of asking the consumer their consumers questions that will give the company an insight of what they truly want in a product. There are a lot of great survey sites that are trustworthy and offer some fun surveys with benefits for you for your time. When you join any of these, it will be beneficial to you to fill out any profile questionnaires so that you can ensure you get surveys that you are qualified for. All that they ask of you is that you take your time and give your honest feelings to every question. Below are some that I use to make extra cash.

Say Nation- This is a free to join site that sends you survey invites by email, as well as, have them listed on their site. Surveys come frequent for me on this site that match my profile that I filled out when I joined. They usually are surveys that require about 10-15 minutes to fill out, which some can run longer or shorter. For my time, Say Nation awards me points for my surveys that I have completed and points for referrals that I get. Once I save up enough points I can cash them in for something out of the Say Nation Catalog. There are gift cards, journals, books, movies, and games for select game systems. I use them to either get the PayPal Deposit or the Amazon Gift Codes. Just remember to not rush through the surveys or you will be disqualified to receive the points. Take your time and give your honest opinions.

Opinion Outpost- This is also a free to join site that sends you survey invites by email or you can find them listed on the website. Personally I receive several invites in a week, but remember that depends on the qualifications on the survey. Their surveys are easy to understand and usually require about 10-15 minutes of my time if I qualify for the survey. For my time I earn points for my surveys that can be cashed in for a check or an Amazon Gift Code. If you join their affiliate program you can earn some for the referral. Again remember, give your surveys time and don’t rush through the surveys.

Dollar Surveys- This is a site where you start off by entering the email address they could use to send you $1 if you complete a survey. Then you will be asked some qualifying questions so that they can determine if there are any surveys that you can do. If there is one that you qualify for it will redirect you to it and pay you within a couple of days if you complete it. I have done this a few times and gotten paid.

Lightspeed Panel- This is a site that will send you an alert email that there is a survey waiting for you on the site. Once you log in you will see a list of any surveys that are available for you to complete. They are easy to understand and usually require 10 minutes to complete. For completed surveys you will receive points that you can cash in for PayPal deposits, Amazon Gift Codes, movies, gift cards, personal care items, and more. Periodically they will have screener surveys for you to complete so that they can see if you are qualified to take upcoming surveys that may have specific needs. Remember that all that Lightspeed Panel ask of you is honest answers from you, so don’t rush through them.

These are just a few sites that I use to earn by completing surveys. I suggest to get an email address that is used only for your survey sites. You can get a free email address from Gmail or Yahoo Mail. Through the next few weeks I will post more survey sites that I use.

101 Cash Generating Ideas

You all know that I enjoy bringing you as many money making opportunities that I can since I know my readers as well as me are always looking for ways to bring money into the home to help with the budget. This year my budget is including a few big expenses that last year didn’t. I have decided to save up enough to add new siding to my home and to get new flooring for my kitchen. So in order for me to comfortably do these things I am in search for even more effective money making opportunities. I cam across an eBook called “Emergency Cash Generators Version 3.0” by James Jones. It seems to be getting a great review and I see why. It has some great ideas that I haven’t even thought of. It is full of 101 different money making techniques with real people cases in how they made some of these make extra income for them.

 
Here is an example of some of the ideas in the book:

-How to Make money with old discarded magazines.

-How a camera, a few trash bags and a letter written to a certain group of people can put wads of cash in your mail box.

-How to make money giving away a special 12 page booklet.

-How to make money by offering an advertising service to people that are having a garage sale by using this method

-Shows you a neat way to make money every time it rains.

-A product that you can buy locally – at a certain retail shop he will tell you about -- that you can turn around and sell for double, triple or even more.

-How to use a method to make money by providing a 2 minute service to convertible car owners.

These are just some of the great ideas that he has written about. One thing that made me want to tell you about this eBook, besides all of the great ideas it holds, is that the author is offering an 8 week no questions asked money back guarantee.

Save Money By Using Swap Sites To Get Your Movies, CDs, and Books

PaperBackSwap.com - Book Club to Swap, Trade & Exchange Books for Free.
Like many, I love to read, listen to music, and watch movies. These loves can be costly. I found a way to cut back on these cost last year. The sites below are sites where members can swap cds, books, and movies with other members and are all free to join.

First lets talk about Paperback Swap. This is my favorite of all since I love to read alot. Paperback Swap is a site that allows its members to post books that they are willing to swap with other members and receive credit when someone request a book from you and mark it received. You can then take that credit and request a book you are interested in. They even give you a free credit when you post 10 books to swap. The only expense is when someone request a book from you, then you will pay the shipping. If you follow the packaging instructions on the site it normally cost $3 or under.

If you like music, join SwapACD. It is a site that follows the same principal as Paperback Swap except when you request a Cd it will cost you 1 credit and 49cents. It is well worth it since you can't buy a CD in a store for 49cents. Like Paperback Swap, you will receive 1 credit for your first 10 CDs that you post.

If watching movies is something you spend money on, try SwapaDVD. It is like Paperback Swap. To request a DVD it only cost 1 credit and they offer you a free credit for the first 10 DVDs you post to swap.

All of these sites have new items posted daily by its members. Each site has a "Wish List" you can create of items that you would like to receive. When an item that you have on that list is posted to swap it will automatically send it out to you if you have a credit available for it. If no credit is available in your account it will send you an email and you will be given a short time to get a credit to use for it. If for some reason you don't get a credit to put toward it, the item will remain on your wish list so that you will be in que for it again. You can, if you choose, purchase credits to add to your account inexpensively.

I have been a member of these for a little less than a year and have nothing but good things to say about them. I have not experienced any issues with any of my request that I have made for items. I would recommend this to anyone looking to save money but still be able to enjoy music, books, and movies. If any of you are already members leave a comment and tell others about your experience with these sites.
