Now that you've shortened the list of sites go back to your search engine and search for each company followed by the word "scam" or "review". This will get you other peoples opinions of the company and whether or not they pay as promised.

Finally, go to the sites still on your list and register with them to receive surveys.

Maximizing Paid Survey Earnings

There are hundreds of paid survey sites out there and it is easy to make money with them if you know how. Keep reading and you'll find some quick and easy things to do to make money online with paid surveys.

Maybe you already already know a bit about paid surveys and have even signed up with a paid survey site or two. Good for you then you're already ahead of the game! You've probably read a lot about paid surveys too and not all of the information agrees. Just what is the truth about the paid survey? How can I make money taking paid surveys? Where do I find paid survey sites? These are just a few of the questions surrounding paid surveys.

The very first thing you need if you're going to make money with paid surveys is a good list of paying survey sites. You can get that at Paid Surveys Success, so I've just solved that problem for you. If you choose not to use the list of sites I've put together then by all means please make sure you don't pay anyone for a listing of paid survey sites. It's unnecessary and a complete waste of money. You can get exactly the same information from any number of free sources on the internet.

Next, with your list in hand (or browser) go sign up for as many paid survey sites as possible. I don't mean just a few dozen, although that is a good start. I mean hundreds. What you're doing is diversifying and making sure that you get as many paid survey opportunities as possible. This way YOU can pick only the best paid surveys to take. The truth is that some sites only send out surveys infrequently, so you want to get yourself on as many paid survey sites as possible.

Finally, have patience. You should start getting paid surveys within a day or so, but you won't be getting the very best paid surveys right away. The paid survey companies will be taking their time to feel you out and make sure you are serious. The highest paying surveys will come later after you've established a history with each paid survey company. So, don't give up after 1 or 2 weeks if you're not getting the $50 surveys. They will come.

These three tips should give you a headstart making money from paid surveys. I know I wish I had them when I first started. It would have accelerated my earnings significantly. Learn from my mistakes and soon you'll be just like a paid survey professional making money from home whenever you want.

New PayPerPost Member!

Hey everyone I signed up for PayPerPost about 1 month ago and my blog finally got approved since I met their requirement for posts within a 90 day period. In case you don't know about PayPerPost yet let me tell you if you have a blog you gotta try it. Basically they pay you to post to your blog. You sign up with them and once your blog is approved you can accept offers from various advertisers and get paid to review their sites or products.

Even better is that the more popular your blog is the more you can get paid. Have a PR5 blog? You could be getting over $100 per post depending on what the subject matter of your blog is. Makes it a lot easier to get over that bloggers block we all experience sometimes doesn't it?

I initially found out about PayPerPost from an article about blog marketing and boy am I glad that I did.

If you're a blogger and you're looking for an easy way to make some money from your blog then look no further. PayPerPost is exactly what you've been waiting for. I can't wait to get more great opportunities from them.

Oh, in case you're wondering I won't be posting anything unless I believe it myself, so no biased posts because of this. I know that some people are against PayPerPost and similar services because they feel that people aren't completely truthful when they are getting paid for their blogging. I can promise you that if I don't believe it myself I won't be posting it.

Make Money From Home Blog

I ran across a new blog just now and wanted to post about it. It's all about how to make money from home and there are some goods ideas to be found. For example, he is currently running a contest giving away $100 to anyone who posts about his blog on theirs and links back to him. Great way to get a pile of links and hopefully for him they will be pretty cheap.

There are also posts about affiliate programs, Adsense, making money from eBay...
From the posts it seems like eBay may be his #1 earner, but he is well diversified or at least getting there. And if you're reading this, welcome back from Amsterdam!

Paid Research Surveys

Typical paid research surveys may take just 10 minutes to complete and pay you $5-10. That’s up to $60 an hour! I’m pretty sure you don’t make that much at your day job. And occasionally the highest paid survey companies will be looking for more in depth information about a product or service and will conduct what are called focus group interviews. These focus group interviews can take anywhere from 1-2 hours and pay up to $300. As you can see it doesn’t take much for the earnings to start adding up with these paid research surveys.

And since there are so many companies out there offering paid research surveys it makes sense to sign up with as many of these companies as you can find. This way you can start to pick and choose the best paying survey opportunities available.

You may not get rich through paid research surveys, but you can make a nice income. And you do it in your free time, which is a huge incentive for some. There are people who stay at home with their families full time because they can work when they want to. They are not rich and they don’t live in fancy houses or drive fancy cars, but they have something which is even more precious, freedom.

Paid research surveys have helped me to pay off my bills and to regain the time that I was losing by having to work so much overtime. I still work, but now it is when I want to. If I need some extra money I'll do more paid research surveys and if I want my time free then I do less. I for one am very glad that the paid research survey companies exist.

Get Paid For Answering Online Short Surveys

Answering online short surveys is a great way to make some extra money. You may have heard that there is a problem with doing this and that all of the companies that pay you for answering online short surveys are scams. It’s not true, there are legitimate sites out there that will pay you for answering short online surveys, in fact there are many. So, how do you tell the difference between a legitimate site and one that is a scam? There are several guaranteed ways to tell the two apart.

The first thing to consider is if the site requires you to pay money for answering online short surveys. You should never have to pay money to join any paid survey site. The legitimate sites frown upon this type of behavior because it causes a bias in those who are answering the online short surveys. This bias makes their results unreliable and useless. If a site is asking you to pay for a list of companies paying for surveys then it is a scam.

Another type of scam website is one that asks for your email address to get access to it’s list of paying survey companies. Once you register they have your email address and can sell it to anyone they like. You’ll find that these sites often have very short lists as well. It is difficult to make much money for answering online short surveys if you don’t have a large and comprehensive list of paying survey sites.

So then, one of the keys to a legitimate paid survey site is that it is free from fees. If it is the type of site that is providing a list of companies that will pay you for answering online short surveys then you shouldn’t have to register. There are plenty of personal websites and blogs that offer this information free of any costs or registration.

When going to the actual sites that pay for surveys you will have to register. They need some personal information to match you up with surveys. These sites should be from established market research companies that have a history of paying people for answering online short surveys. There are many reputable companies out there that do this.

Look for a privacy page and terms of service. The site should not share your personal information and there should be real contact information there, a mailing address and phone number as well as an email address that you can contact the company at. Sites that have nothing but a contact form on their website are often scams just looking to collect email addresses.

One other type of site to watch out for when looking for legitimate companies that apy you for answering online short surveys are those that are primarily interested in getting you to sign up for other offers. You’ll recognize these sites easily enough once you register. Instead of taking you to the surveys or your profile they will take you through several pages of offers that you can opt into or need to click a radio button to opt out of. These companies are just trying to register you for other programs and rarely have any surveys of their own to offer. They may not be a scam, but they are probably not what you want if you’re trying to make money getting paid for answering online short surveys.

The very best paid survey sites will have other opportunities to get paid besides just answering online short surveys. They may pay you to read emails, to look at advertisements or to sign up for other offers. Note that this is different from the previously mentioned companies in that these companies actually pay you to sign up for offers rather than making you opt-in or opt-out with no compensation at all. You can make a good bit of money very quickly through this type of program.

These are some of the top things to look for when starting to get paid for answering online short surveys. Take your time and look around. Do your research and avoid those companies that want you to pay for their information. It’s easy to make money answering online short surveys if you are able to avoid the scams

XSV Cash Review

Here's a new GPT program for you. XSV Cash has just launched in June 2007 and they look to be one of the best GPT programs out there. No, they don't have the most offers yet, Cash Crate still wins those honors in my opinion, but they have something better - payment through PayPal!

That's right, XSV Cash will pay you through PayPal and they have a scant $7 minimum payout which means you can join and hit the minimum payout in just 10-15 minutes. Since I'm impatient this is just the kind of thing that I LOVE!

XSV Cash is also open to members worldwide 14 years and older, although the bulk of their offers are still U.S. based. However, if you are outside the U.S. you can still make good money with their killer referral program. XSV Cash will pay you 5 levels on your referrals!

• 1st level 20%


• 2nd level 10%


• 3rd level 5%


• 4th level 3%


• 5th level 1%

In addition to the level bonuses you also make a $1 bonus when your referrals complete their first offer. As you can imagine this adds up pretty darn quick.
Overall, XSV Cash looks like a serious contender for one of the top GPT programs out there. With a larger list of opportunities and more international support they could soon overtake the top dogs.
