Doing online surveys is a great way to make a little extra money from home. You will not get rich from this but I feel that if you find the right companies they can be worth your time. I have set a goal of making $250 this year from doing surveys. In order to accomplish this I will need to make around $5 a week.
I did not hit my goal last week. I was pretty busy and just logged into MySurvey. However I did receive two different test products from MySurvey that does value over $5.
Here is what I made last week:
MySurvey- 205 pts ($1.86)
This Weeks Total: $1.86 ($3.14 short)
Total For the Year: $124.03 ($49.03 over goal)
Payments Received for Year: $66.90

HCDSurveys is another survey site that I really enjoy. The surveys are a lot of fun to take. Last year I received a survey each week on American Idol. They also host an annual Super Bowl commercial survey.
The point system is a simple one in which $1 is equal to 100 points. On average, you will earn between $1 (100 points) to $5 (500 points) per study. From time to time, you may be invited to a survey that does not offer an incentive for participating. Each invitation you receive to participate in a survey will tell you how much money you will earn for completing the survey. Then you can decide which surveys you would like to participate in. HCDSurveys pay in check. You can cash out once you hit 1,000 points, $10.
One thing that I really like about HCDSurveys is that they will pay you 10 points ($.10) for surveys that you screen out of. You can also make money with them by referring your friends. You will receive 50 points ($.50) for every person you refer using your personal link who becomes a verified panel member.
The only negative of HCDSurveys is that I do not receive a lot of invitations. However I did receive an e-mail from them last week that they were going to be sending more surveys.
I currently have 1065 points ($10.65)
