When my girls were toddlers and I was adjusting to being a stay at home mom, I would sit at the computer at night and take survey’s. It’s even easier now because you can take these surveys from your phone.
If you have extra time on your hands and want to be productive test out different survey companies. Some may not be worth it to you and others you may want to continue on with for the long haul.
This isn’t something that is going to make you rich. It’s something to pass time and make money while you do.
I like thinking about survey money as something I can set aside for Christmas or birthdays. Sometimes they pay you in Amazon credits, gift cards or Paypal. It’s never to early to start preparing for Christmas gifts.
When starting Survery’s please keep the following in mind.
- Create a separate email account for your surveys. This is similar when couponing and signing up for your freebies. ( gmail, yahoo etc. all free)
- Try them all out at first. It’s best to sign up for many and then narrow down once you see which ones will work for you.
- See if there are other ways to earn BESIDES surveys. Inbox dollars you can earn money by searching the web, reading emails and watching videos.
