From time to time I will take a minute to highlight different survey companies.  Today I thought I would share Synovate with you.  I have been a member for at least 3 years.  What I love about Synovate is the amount of items I have received t to test.  To me this is one of the best perks about taking surveys and Synovate always has great products to test.  If you are not already a member, click Here to sign up today.  It will take a few minutes to complete a profile, but it is so important be...

August is over so it is time to share my survey earnings for the month.  I keep track of my earnings in an Excel spreadsheet, but our old computer crashed, so I have tried to remember to write everything down, but it is a possibility that I missed a few.  Anyway, I hope that by sharing my earnings it will give you a more realistic idea of what you can make and what companies are paying.

Opinion Outpost  $12.50 check
Daily Survey Panel $10 PayPal
My View $25 Visa online gift card
Pinecone $6 PayP...

I wanted to take a minute to highlight IPSOS survey company because I have been receiving a lot of surveys from them lately and qualifying for almost all of them.  That is not always the easiest thing to do with survey companies.  So, I thought I would pass along how I was doing with them in case you had not signed up with them yet. 

Good Luck earning that Fun Money!

July was a rather slow on-line survey month.  Just seemed like there were not as many surveys being sent to me.  Does anyone else feel the same?

Here is a list of what I was able to cash out for:

Toluna $20 check
Valued Opinion $20 Gift Card
Socratic $5 check
Pinecone Research $9 Paypal
Opinion Place  $4 Paypal

Total:  $58

I hope that by sharing my survey experience you will be able to decide which companies you want to start with.  To sign up for any survey companies, just visit the Free Money Surve...

I added up my survey earnings for June and was able to make $207.85!  More "Fun Money" for me!  Yes, taking surveys takes some time, but for me the pay off is worth it.  If you are still trying decide if surveys are right for you, or wondering what survey companies to start with, here is a breakdown of who I cashed out with in June. 

Pinecone Research $6 (They only take new members a few times a year)
BuzzBack $4
Valued Opinion $20 in Amazon money
Surveyspot $28.50
Opinion Outpost $22.10

I finally have some time to check my survey accounts to see if I can cash out with any.  I do so many that cashing out does not happen as much as it should.  One company that stood out to me today was Opinion Outpost.  I have been able to cash out twice just in the month of June for a total of $22.  I know it is not a ton of money, but any little bit helps.  If you are interested in taking surveys and have not looked into Opinion Outpost yet, click Here to sign up today.

The first time I heard of Shopper's Voice was when I received a survey in the mail.  I have now been completing surveys for about 2 years.  They do not offer cash for taking surveys, which we all love, but they do offer thank you packets with samples and coupons.  And anytime we can get some "goodies in our mailbox" is a good day.

A few weeks ago I shared a teen girl opportunity with RepNation and Crayola.  Well, now RepNation is looking for males ages 18-28 to join their Schick Hydro Force. If you’re accepted, you’ll receive a free start-up kit with Schick Razors and more valued at over $100!  You will need to become a RepNation member and the apply for the Schick campaign.

Good Luck!

Just a reminder about Mommy Talk Surveys.  You see it every time you visit the Daily Deals page, but have you signed up yet?  Remember you receive $5 just for signing up and when you reach $25 you can cash out.  One reader wrote to say she had not received any surveys from them.  If this is the same for you, I would check your spam mail to make sure they are not all landing in there.  But the great part about Mommy Talk Surveys is that you can log in to your account anytime and a list of su...

The last day of March is upon us!  Today is the last write up on money making survey companies and today I will focus on Daily Survey Panel.  As their name suggests, they send out 1-3 surveys Daily.  They reward you with cash for each survey and you can cash out when you have at least $10 in your account.

I have been a member for almost 1 year and have earned about $30.  Not the best record, but I also have qualified for about 30% of their surveys.  Some of you might qual...

I will be wrapping up this month long look at survey companies tomorrow.  Today I will be sharing about Survey Savvy.  They will send you an e-mail whenever there is a survey available for you.  They pay you cash for each survey you complete and you can cash out with as little as $1 in your account which is something most companies do not offer.

I have made a little over $60.00 with them so far.  I qualify for about half of the surveys they send me.  I have enjoyed all the surveys I have compl...

Today I am going to share about Opinion Outpost.  They reward you with points for each survey you complete.  10 points equals $1.  You can cash out with as little as $5 in your account.  I receive about 3-5 surveys a day from them, making them one of the more active survey companies.  I qualify for about 50% of the surveys I am sent.  I just received a $17 check in the mail from them and had last cashed out in December with $14.

Today I will be sharing about American Consumer Opinion.  Like most of the other survey companies, they will e-mail you when there is a survey available for you to take.  They pay you cash for each survey you complete.  You can cash out once you have at least $10 in your account.  You can choose to be paid by check or PayPal. 

When I first signed up, I was lucky enough to qualify for a in-home product test.   I have done several of them for ACOP and just recen...

I have just added two new on-line opportunities for everyone to join.

The first is BeHeardWorldwide - It is an on-line community to share your thoughts.  Their website says "For your participation in surveys and other activities, we will generally provide a thank-you gift. The gifts may vary depending upon the activity, and we will tell you about it when you are invited"

The second is Contemporary Consumers Research Panel - If you like to watch television, then this panel is for you!  For eac...

Today I will be sharing about HCD Surveys.  Like most of the other survey companies they will e-mail you when there is a survey available for you to take.  What is different about this company is that most of their surveys have to do with current events.  During the presidential election there were a lot of surveys about presidential commercials.  During American Idol they send you a survey asking how you like the performances.  This is very different than most other survey companies.

HCD pays...

Today I will be talking about Mindfield.  Once again, after you have signed up and filled out your profile, they will e-mail you when they have a survey available for your to take.  All of the e-mail state how long the survey should take and the amount of money you will be paid.  They pay you cash, via check or Paypal and you can cash out with as little as $5. 

In the last 13 months I have made $104 with them.  They are one of my favorite survey companies.  They also send out a good amount of...

Today I will be focusing on Synovate/Global Opinion Panels.  This company has been around awhile and has a very good reputation.  Like all the rest, they will e-mail you when there is a survey available for you.  They award you with points and you can turn those points in for money.  They pay strictly in money and 5000 points = $5.

I have been a member for a few years, and although I have not made a tremendous amount of money with them ($30 since November), they are very good in sending out...

Today I will focus on SurveySpot.  After signing up and filling out your profile, they will e-mail you when an e-mail is available.  When you get these offers, look at them closely.  They normally tell you if you will earn points or just a sweepstakes entry.  I do not even bother to open the ones that are only sweepstakes.  You earn points for each survey and can turn them in for cash and prizes.  1000 points = $10. 

I earned $50 with them last year and also was able to participate in many ...

Today I will be sharing about Toluna.  This is a company that is based in the UK.  They have gotten very big in the last year and have actually taken over two survey companies that I was a member of.  Like all the rest, they will send you an e-mail when there is a survey available for you to take.  They award you with points that you can trade in for cash and prizes.  60,000 points = $20.

Last year I made $62 with them, keeping in mind that I only became a member once the companies I belonge...

Today I will be writing about Surveyhead.  Like all of the other companies I have highlighted they will send you e-mails to notify you when there is a survey to take, but what is different is that they keep an ongoing list of surveys available.  So if you do not have time to take a survey when you receive an e-mail, the survey will show up in your account to take at a later time.  They also list the time that each survey will take and the amount of money you will receive for taking the survey...

Today I will be focusing on Valued Opinions.  Like most other survey companies, once you have signed up and filled out a profile they will notify you via e-mail when there is a survey available.  They typically pay between $1-$3 for a survey.  A $1 survey usually takes around 10 minutes to complete.  Once you have accumulated $20 you will be able to purchase a gift card.  I have always chosen the Visa Gift Card, that way I can use it just like cash.

I made $80 with this company in 2009.  I ha...

This is post #2 in our month long write up of survey companies.  Today I am focusing on MySurvey.com.

Once you have signed up and completed your profile, they will send you an e-mail when they have a survey for you to participate in.  What is different about this company is that every survey they send you, you will qualify for.  They usually start out awarding you 5-10 points for taking the survey.  Once you have answered the preliminary questions, if you qualify for the complete survey yo...

As many of you know, I do quite a lot of surveys to earn a little extra income.  That is were my "fun money" comes from.  I recently wrote an article for Wisebread and it was published today if you would like to read it.  I am enjoying reading the feedback from readers.  A lot of them don't seem to being having the success I am having.  I hope that is not the case for everyone. I have been told by my husband that I am a very patient person.  I will sit through a movie even if it is bad and wi...

I just came across this panel and thought I would join.  For those of you who love scrapbooking, I think this will be great. 

Here is the information from their site:

The Scrapbooks etc. Advisory Panel is a volunteer group of scrapbookers who share their opinions with Scrapbooks etc. magazine. Panel members participate by answering a short online survey (usually about 5 minutes) every 1-2 weeks.

• We never share any of your information-including personal contact information-with any outside pa...

I was contacted by MommyTalkSurveys recently asking if I would be interested in sharing their company with my readers.  First of all, I was excited to see a survey company that was geared just towards us moms.  I went on their site and created a membership for myself (I always do this before I recommend a company).  They offer $5 just for signing up.  The profile information that they asked for did take about 10 minutes to complete, but it is important so that they can target which surveys wo...

I was contacted by a company who is looking for mothers with children ages 6-17 who are open to trying Aunt Jemima waffles and pancakes.  I am not sure if they will send you any or if they are just looking for your feedback.  If you want to give it a shot click HERE.

If you want to leave a comment click on the heading to this post.  I would love to hear about it as I am not allowed to take it.

Thanks!
