The Amazing Amount This Homemaker Earned Online in 2016 From Surveys, Communities and Focus Groups.

it's time to reveal my total online income for 2016 and my top ten earners.
total amount earned in 2016:

$17,402
that averages out to:
$1,450 a month
$334 a week
$47.69 a day

of that, $11,311 (65%) was CASH, either in the form of a check mailed to me, a visa prepaid card or paypal deposit. the remainder (35%) was in gift cards--primarily amazon but some walmart, target and whole foods.

top 10 survey sites:

no. 1 swagbucks $981 my biggest earner but i also spend the most time here. my tips here. also note jan. is the site's slowest month--earnings pick up in feb.
no. 2 vocalpointvoice $425 (invite only. you need to get a recruit survey through another panel.)
no. 3 gtm $335
no. 4 mintvine $330
no. 5 resolution panel/usatalknow $301
no. 6 surveysavvy $292 must download their software for optimal earnings.
no. 7 productreportcard  $260
no. 8 innopoll $255
no. 9 ipoll $245 i don't recommend them now since SSI bought them. my earnings plummeted.
no. 10 parentspeak/kidzeyes $237

just these 10 sites generated over $3,600 income in one year! if you don't have 9 hrs a day to devote to this i highly suggest you just start out with these and start getting a routine down. 3 yrs. ago when i started all this to earn a bit of extra money i worked at it all month and earned a whopping $159. and back then i thought that was good! but every month i made a bit more and every month i worked a bit smarter---now i always make between $1200-$2000 a month--and that is sizable income for a homemaker! obviously this can't compete with a real job but it is great income considering i never have to leave the house, never have to pay for childcare and can truly pick and choose exactly what work i want to do so i am always available for our boys. plus it gives me something to do all day when they are in school!

Become A Member Of The SmartLAB.

https://smartlab.mrcommunities.com

here is another online community that i earn amazon gcs from. it is called smartLAB and they are very unobtrusive. i hear from them maybe once every 2 months. all activities earn points and can be redeemed for amazon gcs in either $5 or $10 increments.

https://smartlab.mrcommunities.com

i like that the surveys and discussions are always short and sweet and they don't bombard you with activities. topics involve anything you shop for--be it financial, food or furniture! they also reward you for participation and everything has a point value. check it out!

MobiSave--the grocery cash back app that everyone should be using.

yes-- there are a lot of players in the grocery app arena but mobisave is one of my favs for a few simple reasons:

--nearly instant paypal payments---like within the hour. for reals.

--no minimum and no need to request funds. if you claim 10 cents for buying apples--they automatically send a dime to your paypal account--easy peasy.

--any store in the US is eligible.

--many 'generic' broad category items that are easy to redeem.

it's just change but it adds up and it is so easy not to do! trust me--download the app and start getting cash back today. one tip---you must select the items you wish to redeem BEFORE uploading your receipt. many times i was rejected because i forgot to save items to my 'cart' before snapping a pic of my receipt. you will probably forget too the first few times but eventually you will remember, even if it's in the store, to quickly choose your items before checking out.

available for iPhone and android. i heard sometimes there is a waiting list. no worries. usually they accept you within a few months.

download today and start earning! good luck.

it is time to 'invite a friend' to the PetSafe online community. they are currently opening up the community for new members. if you are interested just leave me your name and email in the comments below. i will forward it to petsafe and promptly delete your comments here. look for their screener in your inbox. here is the incentive breakdown:

SurveySavvy $40 Study. Looking for people planning on buying or leasing a new automobile in the next year.

http://media.surveysavvy.com/chronos/?rid

surveysavvy is looking for anyone that is planning to buy or lease a new car within the next year to participate in a new savvyconnect research study called Project Chronos in exchange for a $40 incentive.

i just received an email today, the 10th, that they are still needing more participants, even though the study officially began on the 7th. i have done several savvyconnect studies before and they are very easy. you do need to download their application on your computer and phone which is completely passive and then answer a few short surveys. i have always been paid for my work and have never had any issues with their software.

Gambeal: The newest restaurant cash back app.

i discovered a new app that is well worth the download. it is called Gambeal and it pays you back for snapping pics of your restaurant and fast food receipts and rating the experience. and we are talking about the places you actually go! arbys, dq, mcdonalds, even chick-fil-a!

                 

payment is through paypal once you hit $20. with this great assortment of restaurants i think that can be achieved quite quickly!

the sad news is it is only available on iPhone at the moment. but maybe folks can request it for android on their fb page.

i just snapped a pic of my mcdonalds receipt and it was approved within 30 minutes! gambeal definitely seems like it is going to be a profitable app for me!

happy earning!

Verizon's Online Community Is Looking For New Members!

from their faq on incentives:

if interested in joining, please leave your name and email in the comments below. i will send it off to verizon and then delete them here. i never know how many invites a member gets until they tell me i reached my limit--could be 5, could be 50! US residents only.

New Online Community for Pizza Lovers!

**I HAVE REACHED MY INVITATION LIMIT!!!!!!!!! **

unfortunately i am unable to send them anymore emails :(

i was just invited to this new community and am sharing the love here. if you like pizza, whether it's frozen, take and bake, delivery or dine-in, pizza lovers anonymous is for you. all activities pay out in points and you only need 100 points to cash out! i spent less than 10 minutes on the site and already earned 40 pts--so that is like $4!

rewards are through tango which offer just about every gc under the moon (no paypal though).

so far it looks fun and easy and hopefully they will email lots of point earning opportunities. if interested in joining it is by email invite only. all i need is your email and they will send you a screener invite. i also will delete your email after sending. US residents only. leave your email by clicking 'comments' at the end of this post. i will grab it, send it off to them and immediately delete it. you may also leave your email through fb on bridget's blog page and clicking 'message'. either way, i will get it.

good luck!

Active but often need to wear a Support or Brace? Then this My-Take Community is for you!

well that was quick :(

**Responses are no longer needed for this activity. This Survey is Now Closed.**

the league is an online community through my-take that is just getting off the ground and current members are allowed to extend invites to family and friends.

the activities are rather infrequent, maybe once a month. i already have been accepted into 2 product tests though!

the majority of surveys and discussions are for amazon raffles.

although in their faq it states:

if you ever wear sports braces (knee, wrist, back) then you would be perfect for this community and will probably score some nice products you will actually use.

there is no link to sign up--it is invitation only through current members. if you think you would be a good fit just leave me your full name and email in the comments below. i will send it in to the community who will email you the screener. i will immediately delete your name and email in my comments too! US only.

good luck everyone!

A New Global App That Pays Paypal Instantly: CitizenMe

https://www.citizenme.com

i just learned of this one last week and thought i would give it a shot. citizenme is based out of london but is available globally. they ask questions to develop 'your profile' and say the more of these 'insight' questions you complete the more paying surveys you will receive. i only filled out 2 insight activities and already received my first paying question! took under a minute to complete and they paid me within minutes to my paypal. they actually pay in british pounds so the 10 cents actually converted to 12 cents US dollars-score! i actually allowed notifications so that i am alerted to any paying activities and therefore not wasting a bunch of time checking the app all the time.

you can check them out on fb page too. so far i am liking this app. i even went back and connected my twitter account and completed all my pending insights to see if i start getting even more paying surveys. they do not seem to have any referral program that i see. but even if it's a bit of change each month you can't beat instant deposit to your paypal account!

good luck with citizen me!
