Synovate is currently accepting new applicants. I am sure it will fill up fast so I wanted to let you know about this company so you could join.

Surveys are a great way to make some extra money from home. I made around $150 in about 5 months from doing surveys. Synovate is a company that I have been using for over a year now.

Surveys take about 5-10 minutes to complete. I have been payed from 10 points to all the way up to 1400 points to complete a survey. I was even payed 250 points for completing registration and profile surveys. From time to time, they may even invite you to test a product or participate in a research project conducted by telephone.

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)

Once again I have exceeded my goal- YAY! Pretty good since I did not even have time to do any surveys all week. I just did a few Friday night and Saturday. It is good to have a bit of a cushion just in case I can not keep up with as many surveys once summer comes.

Here is what I made last week:

MySurvey- 530 pts ($4.83)
Survey Savvy- $3
Consumer Village- 30 tokens ($.30)
e-poll-- 500 points ($.87)

This Weeks Total: $9 ($4 over goal)

Mindfield Online is another company that I am currently a member of. Their average survey pays $1-$3. I have however received surveys for $5, $8 and even $25. Unfortunately I did not qualify for those. Surveys take around 5 to 15 minutes to complete.

Palm Research is another survey site that I have been making money with. Once signed up you will receive a daily e-mail containing two $1 surveys. You can also log into your account to see if there are any surveys available.

You can also make money with Palm Research by referring others. Each member is provided with a referal link. Whenever someone signs up by clicking your link, you will earn 10% of what ever they make.

Palm Research pays automatically once your account reaches $10 by check or Paypal. Payments are made on a net 45 day schedule, meaning if you earn $10 or more in January, your payment will be sent on March 15th. If your account is under $10, then the balance will be carried over each month until you reach the threshold.

Since joining last year I have been paid $15 and currently have $7.46 in my account. I made the majority of my money from them last year. I have not been qualifying for many surveys recently.

Opinion Outpost is another one of my favorite survey sites. They have made some small changes in payment since the last time I talked about them so I wanted to update things.

You will be notified of any available surveys through e-mail or by checking in the members area under “Available Surveys”. I usually receive at least one e-mail a day with an available survey from them. I have been paid anywhere from 10 to 40 points ($1-$4) for completing a survey. The highest paying survey I have received from Opinion Outpost was for 60 points, but I did not qualify.

Opinion Outpost pays in 4 different ways, Red Cross donation for 50 points ($5), $5 Amazon gift card for 50 points, $15 Citi gift card for 150 points or a check with a minimum of 200 points ($20).

Since joining in last march I have made $31.60 from Opinion Outpost. I received a check for $9.70 last year and requested another check today for $21.90.

Survey Spot is another survey site that I use regularly. They seem to always have surveys available. I receive multiple e-mails from them a day. Again, I only respond to the e-mails that are for surveys that pay in points, not sweepstakes.

They have made some changes since I joined and are currently updating their site. When they switched over to a new system, they paid out all pending money. At that time I received a check for $9. Currently I have 550 points in my account ($5.50).

Once you reach the minimum threshold of 1000 points (the equivalent of $10), the points can then be converted into cash via PayPal or their NEW WebShop vouchers. However they are doing updates to the WebShop and it has been closed so I do not know much about it. But since PayPal is always my first choice I am not very concerned about it either.

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 fell a little short this week, but am still ahead overall.

Here is what I have made so far this week:
Opinion Outpost- $2.50
Synovate Global Opinion Panel- 950 points ($.95)
SurveyHead- $1
e-Poll- 500 points

This Weeks Total: $4.45
Total For the Year: $74.40 ($24.40 over)

Payments Received for Year: $20
* Waiting on payment of $25

Global Test Market is another site that I would recommend joining. I have been a member for about a year and a half. Most surveys take about 20 minutes to complete and pay about 30-40 market points. I have made anywhere from 15 to 60 points. I currently have 585 market points or around $29.25.

Global Test Market will send you an e-mail when a survey is available for you, or you can also log into your account to check. I will normally receive a few surveys a week, however I will only complete the ones that pay in points and skip the ones that are for entries in drawings.

Global Test Market pays with a check once you hit 1,000 market points- $50. My goal is to receive a check from them once a year. I have earned 140 points so far this year.
