Though I have said many times that I dislike taking surveys, I have heard of many people who do enjoy taking them, so today I am going to review one of the few reliable survey companies which I did not include in my previous post. Pinecone Research (http://www2.pineconeresearch.com/) was a great survey company which usually sends its users a survey once a month or more. Though you probably will only be able to buy yourself a cup of coffee with this kind of money, it still is nice to have a little extra cash in the pocket . Unlike most survey companies which usually only offer an entry into a sweepstakes as a reward for 30 minutes or more of your time Pinecone Research pays every survey. Here’s where the problem is: At first, Pinecone Research was paying $5 per survey, which is o.k. for 25 minutes of work. Now though, it is only $3 per survey plus entry into a sweepstakes. Not as nice. Still, another great thing about this company is that they actually send you things to try. This was my favorite part of the company, but since the drop to $3, I just haven’t had time to work with them. Still, if you are interested, here is where the catch comes. You can’t just go to their website and sign up. No, instead you have to find a banner on other websites advertising their company and then click on it to sign up. (Which basically means that you might never find a banner to sign up.) Don’t give up hope though- There is a loophole. The website below usually has the most current links to sign up! I would post them here, but apparently the links only work when they are clicked from that website. Enjoy!

Another popular way of making money at home is by taking surveys. I personally do not enjoy this job, but I know of many work at homers who love it.

The reason that I do not enjoy paid survey sites is that truthfully, there just isn’t that much money in it. Sure, there are always stories of those few people who are making 30,000 and more on it, but the average person is lucky to get paid even $5 a survey. That said, it can be enjoyable to make money just by giving your opinion, so below I am going to give you some tips on how you can make money taking surveys. Who knows? You may be able to do great in it!

The first thing to do is sign up with legitimate survey companies. You NEVER should have to pay to sign up. Additionally, do not pay a subscription to sites in order to get a list of survey companies. I have tried it, and truthfully they aren’t giving you anything that you don’t already know.

Here are some companies I enjoy:

SurveySavvy- https://www.surveysavvy.com/ss/ss_index.php?id=3199849&action=join

Greenfield Online- http://www.greenfieldonline.com/TrafficUI/mscui/page.aspx?cid=1&ptid=4&utcoffset=4

SurveySpot- http://www.surveyspot.com/

Global Opinion Panels- https://www.globalopinionpanels.com

NPD Online Research- http://www.npdor.com/

American Consumer Opinion- http://www.acop.com/Default.aspx

Lightspeed Panel- http://www.lightspeedpanel.com/

One final thing is to only take surveys that promise a given amount. Do NOT waste your time with one’s that offer “Sweepstakes Entries” as there are many other surveys out there which will give you a more reliable payment.

Good Luck!
