Hi resuab, I have been doing really well with online survey sites, I have a pic of proof on my profile, (just follow the link), and right now I am waiting on a check from Cashcrate for $25! I have been using about three different survey sites, and done pretty well from all three. The ones I have listed in my profile are the type that have a list of all available surveys. Some survey sites send you an email a day or a week, and I have not had much luck with these types! Check out my profile for some great sites! and Good luck!

Hi resuab! It is true that you can make extra cash taking online surveys. You have to understand, though, that you will not make a living out of doing those surveys. Most of them pay from $1.00 - 6.00 for every survey that you qualify for and complete. Some sites send a few surveys a week, others less. I find it more lucrative to take free offers. They look like surveys but are actually businesses that are willing to pay you for trying their products and services. I have a list of good sites that have paid me. The best one I've found is CashLagoon, which has a minimum payout of $2.00 by Paypal and would pay within a few hours of request. They also pay by check with a higher minimum payout. You also get 20% of your referrals' earnings. If you're interested, send me a message so that I can send you a link or you can get the list from my blog which is in my mylot profile page.

hi gabesmom, thnaks for your reply, even though im going to have more free time on my hands, im really not going to be in the same place for awhile, so i dont think i can do the free offers thing since im guessing it requires mailing to me, ill be moving around alot, but thanks for your input, i really appreciated

You can make extra income (not a living) taking surveys online, but you have to beware of the scam sites. I have a degree in Marketing and we discussed online surveying in classes. If a site says take a survey and get some huge prize, make sure you read the fine print. It will probably have something about not getting your prize until you have completed 3 offers (or something along those lines). These are typically the Scam sites. Some legit surveying companies: greenfield, harris polls, testspin and My Survey. I don't use Greenfield, but it was one my professor recommended as legit. I personally have gotten checks or prizes from the other three. Testspin.com pays in Amazon gift certificates. Harris gives you points which you can redeem for a bunch of different types of prizes (magazine subscriptions, gift cards, cds, dvds, and tons of others). My survey does points as well and you can either cash out for prizes or for a check. I think Mysurvey is the only one of those sites that are accepting new members, but you can always try the others (if you want a My Survey referral, send me a message and I'll get one sent to you). eRewards is another site, but that one you have to be invited to join by a company (for example, I have student loans with Sallie Mae, so they sent me an invite and now I'm taking surveys there to help pay down my student loans). Good Luck on making a little extra cash and earning prizes by taking surveys!
