Survey Companies
Many of you have asked me about surveys and why I post about them so frequently. So I thought I would do a blog post to fill you all in. Please note surveys are personal preference, just because I love them and some of the followers do does not mean that everyone will love them. I am, however, a big advocate of them, because they have been a huge blessing to my family. The ones I recommend are legit and I have been doing them for about four years now. This year alone I have earned close to $3400 which pays for birthday, back to school, and CHRISTmas!! This is extra money that we would not have otherwise and it has blessed my family significantly.
What I know about surveys is they can vary greatly by your demographics, i.e. where you live, your age, how many children you have, if you are married or not, etc. Many things play a role in if you are eligible for surveys or not. One of the biggest things I have found is if you do not respond to the survey e-mails within about an hour, then when you finally do click on the link, it has already reached its number allowed to take the quiz. What I find most helpful is to go to my dashboard for each survey site I belong to and click the tab that says “take survey”. I usually have to fill out a one-page Q&A and then it will set me up with a quiz or quizzes. Before you take a quiz, it will tell you how many points it is worth and approximately how long it will take, thus meaning you can pick and choose, which ones you want to take.
The majority of survey companies that I recommend are listed on the right-hand sidebar down towards the bottom, but here is a list and pretty much in the order that I recommend them. If you are thinking about doing this. I would suggest signing up for 1-5 to begin with. See which ones you like the best and then sticking with them. They are all FREE to sign up for, so if you don’t like them, you don’t have to stick with them. I have hyperlinked each of the survey companies to a blog post so you can read about each individual survey company before starting. You will NOT get rich by taking surveys, but you will definitely have extra money that you did not think you were going to have and it will definitely bless your family. Please also note I would recommend any of the below survey companies. You will find that you will like some more than others. .again all personal preference. One more thing and again this is just my opinion, there are some of these that currently are entering you to win cash when you sign up. I would recommend signing up for them. You don’t have to take a survey to be eligible to win the money, once you sign up you are eligible. There is nothing to lose as it is FREE to join, so I think take a chance and who knows maybe one of you will be the WINNER!! Just click on the link of any of these survey companies and it will take you to the blog post that tells all about them and from there you can sign up!!
Here is the list:
Opinion Outpost – My favorite site!! I have many readers that also agree this one is the best and very easy to earn cash. Michelle gave a testimony on the FB page that she has already earned $150 in under 1 ½ months – GREAT, GREAT SITE. Start earning some extra CASH with Paypal and Amazon and many, many others.
NCP Another great one, but you will either love it or hate it. Right now they have a special promotion where they are giving away 25 – $500 American Express Cards PLUS $20,000 quarterly – Spots are ALWAYS limited.
JINGIT – This is one of the easiest ones to earn money and if you have a smartphone you will have more opportunities to earn cash. Everyone should do this one!!
Reward Port Love this one as you also get paid for reading e-mails so if you decide not to take the survey, you still get points for reading the e-mail. . it adds up quickly.
INBOX DOLLARS This is my daughter’s favorite survey company. You earn $5 JUST FOR SIGNING UP, plus you get paid for reading emails (usually 2-5 points), searching the web, and playing games! You can also go to the dashboard and complete tasks to earn more points.

E-POLL -This one usually fills up quickly so if you have any desire to try it out, when spots are open you will want to take advantage of it. This is also one of my FAVORITE survey companies – Plus upon joining you are entering for a chance to win $1000 monthly drawing + GIFT CARDS!!
My Dollar surveys – This is another easy one, but you do not get as many surveys as some, but when you figure over 52 weeks at even $2-3 a week, that is over $100. Think long term not just short term.
HOTSPEX – This survey company is ranked #4 of survey companies and again spots fill FAST!! It fills so fast because it is easy and quick to earn cash!

This is a favorite of many also. Please note for this one you will get a ton of surveys one week and not many the next but with being entered to win a $500 Amazon card, it is worth it.
MYSURVEY.COM – This is a group of consumers from throughout the United States who influence future products and services by volunteering to participate in consumer research. But from July 1st through September 30th, you can enter to win $4000!, so just because you are entered to win $4000 I think this one is worth trying also.
TOLUNA –This is a very reputable company that has been around for a long time. You will be entered to win $2500 and also test full-size products before they become available to most consumers.
Mindfield – Spots are limited and fill up quickly. The great thing about this survey company is you can cash out after just earning $5 so that is AWESOME!

I have been doing surveys for 10 years. For the last 5 yrs I saved all my money for a family vacation. This past June we were able to take our family for a long awaited 2 week vacation to Orlando. We came back owing not one cent for our vacation.. Everything was paid for by surveys.
Just wondering if you have to claim the income from the surveys on your income taxes?
You will want to check w/your CPA. . There are baselines and guidelines for this as well as any income that you have coming in. Hope that helps:)
I, also do many surveys, Pinecone Research is my favorite. I have been with tem for several years. They pay directly to your paypal account within a day after you complete survey, I, also, havve received many, many products to test.. They do not have openings very often and you now have to have a Paypal account, I think, but I like the site.
