5 Things I Learned about Taking Surveys and Working Online

well i have been earning my income online for over 2 yrs now and so much of my approach has changed since i started. currently i am consistently earning $1200 a month and i really feel i am working smarter than ever. today i will share some of what i have learned along the way. pardon the lower cases---it has always been my habit since i became an e.e. cummings fan over 30 yrs ago!

Join The Newest Cashback Site, Yuno!

UPDATE! SO FAR THIS ONE HAS BEEN A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. I DON'T RECOMMEND.

http://yuno.co/?

we have a new contender to soon join the net for rewarding you with cash back for shopping online---introducing Yuno.

right now they are gathering members prior to launch and to reward those getting in on the ground floor you will earn $3 paypal if you are one of the first 5000 sign ups. right now they are at 4800 so don't delay!

what is yuno? well i am guessing it will be similar to fatwallet and ebates but have more of an emphasis on rewarding those that share their purchases on social media. here is their description:

even if you miss the cut off the next level of 30,000 sign ups will each earn $4!
i can't say much else about the site since it is in it's infancy but i am taking a chance--really, what do we have to lose?

200 spots left to earn $3 paypal for just signing up!  http://yuno.co/?

Paribus--The Site That Does The Price Matching For You!

Get money back when prices drop, effortlessly!

https://paribus.co/i/epbK4s

https://paribus.co/i/epbK4s

i am continually amazed at how much is out there to save you money. introducing the newest player, Paribus. link up your email address and debit/credit card to the site and they automatically keep a running total of all your online purchases and then monitor them to see if any prices drop. if any do they get you back the difference crediting you 75% of the savings and keeping 25% as payment for their efforts. easy peasy, right?

9 Grocery Apps Everyone Should Be Using

i swear i keep discovering a new grocery app every couple months! right now i am up to 9--yep it takes a few minutes to ensure i do all my scanning, checking in, and pic taking at the end of a shopping trip but every little bit adds up and when you are using 9 apps--it can add up quite quickly!

Snap by Groupon: not a big earner, items seem a bit random and uncommon. still worth a look though, especially if you buy magazines.

Ibotta: i am late to this party and i know i only scratch the surface of its earnings potential. many places to earn outside grocery stores like pet stores and even online sites. if you use my referral code, ezl4q, you will earn a bonus $1! there is a lot going on here--i keep it simple but i know i am only scratching the surface of this app's earning potential.

How I Make InboxDollars Work For Me.

http://www.inboxdollars.com

i really am not a fan of gpt (get paid to) sites where legitimate surveys and free 30 day trial offers (that require a credit card) all get muddled together.

my one exception is inboxdollars. now i don't do ANY of the trial offers or endless path pseudo-surveys that require a phone number so they can spam you to death. i only do 4 things on the site:

1. click on all reward mail 
-at 2 cents per click these add up quickly and take only seconds.

Cool Work Ideas--Your Next Go-to Site.

http://coolworkideas.com

this is a blog that i check out multiple times DAILY. and if you are serious about maximizing your online earning potential you should immediately subscribe too!

paul, who runs the site, is a great guy and tells it like it is--the good, the bad and the 'completely not worth your time'. he is always digging around and discovering new focus groups and survey companies--and never hesitates to share his finds.

moreover, he actually started a forum on the site that is more community based (think slickdeals or reddit without the egos or intimidation) where people can post their finds, ask questions or list current focus group screeners. the vibe is so inviting, approachable and merciful! i have found and qualified for  several studies just from the Cool Work Ideas Forum. definitely worth the bookmark to check for nationwide studies daily.

check it out and may the focus group be with you!

Directive Analytics Online Panel

i have been a member here for not very long. surveys are emailed and are pretty infrequent but occasionally you can score a multi-day diary and those pay at least $20.

sign up here! https://s.zoomerang.com/Survey/

redemption is a bit archaic--you have to send them an email to request a check and then wait 6-8 wks.--but at least it's straight up cash! there also doesn't seem to be a minimum to request out.

you won't hear much from them but i think they are still worth the registration.
