Some tips!!

84 days until Christmas!

So after I posted my entry last night, I got to work on doing surveys. You don't have to really spend hours upon hours doing surveys but honestly, the more you do, the more you will make.

One of the first things you should do is create an email JUST for surveys. This way any message you get to this email is a survey and worth reading!

If a survey site asks for money or wants you to do offers that cost money, avoid it. You should not have to SPEND money to make money! There are a couple exceptions to this. One of those is https://www.mypoints.com . This site does alot of the reward points through shopping. This means if you order stuff online, things you would already be buying, if you go this site and click on the store you plan to use, you will get points for https://www.mypoints.com . It also sends out emails where you can get 5 points just to read an email and visit a site. Right now, I have 1873 points at this site. I actually plan to cash these points in today. I am cashing in 1.750 points for a $10 Wal Mart gift card. I figure I can use this online to buy things because Wal Mart offers free shipping OR  I can buy items at the store for gifts! **$10 Wal Mart card ordered October 1st**  I will let you know when I receive this in the mail so you know how long it takes for things to arrive!

One of the biggest tips I can offer when taking surveys...take your time. If you go too fast, you will NOT get the points for taking that survey. Because the company knows you are rushing through it and not really reading it, which brings me to my next tip.

Actually READ the questions and answers. Alot of companies will include answers meant to throw you off, to see if you are paying attention. I have actually seen one of the answers as "Check this box if you are not paying attention and want to be booted from the survey!" So just make sure you read the answers carefully!

Another good tip, after you have been doing this a while, and have alot of points to cash in from various sites, is to cash in all at once. That way you will get all the gift cards, checks and gift codes around the same time. Plus, it makes it seem like you are making more this way, than just $5 or $10 once a month. Like I said in my previous post, just since September 16th, I have spent $75.98. And right now, I have another $13.68 I can spend. I will let you know what I get!

So here is what you have all been waiting for! The list! This is just a partial list because I need to check my email and such on what sites I do. Some do not send out surveys as often as others!

I recently did a major cash out on almost all my survey sites which is why these amounts are kinda low. Just yesterday I got $25 Amazon code as well as another $10 Amazon code from 2 sites. So do not think I have been working on these amounts for months and months and just have $1 or 2 to show for it.

One of the main ones I really enjoy is http://surveyspot.com/ . I have 750 points right now at this site. I did a surveys last night for 50 points. With this site, you have to get at least 1,000 points and can cash in for Paypal. You will get this within an hour or so of redeeming so I really enjoy this one! I have redeemed $87.50 from this site just in the past few months. Average survey amounts is 50 but sometimes there are higher ones worth 150,200, even 350!

Another is https://www.globaltestmarket.com/ . For this site, you have to have 1,000 points but when you cash in, you get $50.00. Yeah, you read that correctly! Right now I have 615 points.  The only downsides to this site is it does take a long time to get to 1,000 and when you do cash points in, it seems to take FOREVER for the check to arrive! But that is just because of when they send out! They send by check! Average survey amount is usually 35.

The last one for today is https://www.mysurvey.com/ .  This is a really nice survey site. They offer items as well as Paypal and Amazon. Right now I have 445 points. The thing I really like about this site is even if you do not qualify for the survey, you still get 5 points. And let's face it, you won't qualify for EVERY survey! They might want a male and you are female. They might want someone with children of a certain age and you have children of a different age. It is nothing personal! It usually takes 10-15 days to receive, even Paypal and Amazon. Some surveys are worth 50 but the more involved ones or ones where you test a product are worth more, 400, 500! When they send out test products, they send out those items by UPS or FedEx. So if you have a PO Box, you might miss out on those because we will have to sign for items from time to time.

And that is your first few survey sites, to get you started! I will post more later today or tomorrow! Remember to follow my tips and first create an email JUST for surveys!

Another tip, make sure you fill out the site's profiles. This is just basic questions about you that help the site know which surveys you would be good for! Yes, they ask for your income but do not feel like they are snooping. It is just a general question and no one is trying to steal your identity or anything! Yes, they will ask for your address because they will need it to send you your rewards! Yes, they will ask you about your family, if you have children and their ages. This is simply because alot of surveys are aimed for children, about children TV shows, children's products.

Until next time,
