Last week I told you about the 3 day study that I was participating in and earning $100 for my time. I finished up with that study last week and I was chosen to participate in the $100 study I told you about HERE starting next week. The is no way to know what type of people they are looking for to participate until you are either chosen or not.
Focus Foward is the company that I signed up for (you can sign up HERE) and check regularly for upcoming studies to participate in. When they post new studies/focus groups you can fill out the quick 1 minute application. You want to make sure you give accurate contact information because if you are chosen to participate they will call you to ask you some further questions. This is a really fun and easy way for me to earn extra money and I can do it on my own time. I posted last week about all the studies available, you can find the list HERE. Focus Foward will also send you surveys that you can complete for extra cash. These surveys are usually 10-15 minutes long. The longer the survey the more money you earn. For more information on Focus Foward you can click HERE.
Here is a list of some of the other ways and companies I make money from. Every little bit helps and it all adds up.
SurveySavvy~I get about 2-3 surveys a week, each of these are about $2-3 each. I also occasionally get high dollar surveys like last year I made $55 to try out an online site and give my opinion.
Swagbucks~I can’t tell you enough how much I love Swagbucks. This is a great way to save up and earn birthday/christmas gifts. I bought a large portion of my kids christmas gifts through giftcards I earned from Swagbucks. My son’s bday is this month and I have enough saved up to completely take care of all of his gifts! All you do to earn these swagbucks is search the internet just like you would do on google. You will randomly earn bucks. Right now you can earn 50 Swagbucks just for signing up HERE
Inbox Dollars~Earn $5 just for signing up
Reward Port~Earn points for reading emails, doing surveys or trying new products. You can then trade those points in for gift cards and more rewards.
Vindale Research~Get paid $5-$75 to review products. Keep the products you review.
Houseparty~ You don’t get paid for this one, but if you are chosen to host a party you get all kinds of special gifts.
I would love to hear how you all make extra money from home or outside of home. If you have a favorite survey site or something else feel free to leave a comment letting everyone know about it! Thanks.
