Make Money Searching the Web

If you are looking to make money from home, there are many different ways to do it. The one thing that they all have in common is that none of them are going to make you rich. However, you may be able to make some extra money by using multiple sources.

I have already touched upon completing surveys using cash back sites and mystery shopping. So far this year I have cashed out $213.47 between these three sources.

Another way to make some extra money is with Reward Sites. There are many different type of reward sites. Today I am going to talk about sites that you can make money with by searching the web. Just log into the site or download their toolbar and start earning points by doing normal searches.

My top 3 sites to make money by searching the web-

1. SwagBucks- You can randomly win SwagBucks by doing searches on your SwagBucks toolbar. You will also earn 1 SB a day just for using the toolbar.

Other ways to earn with Swagbucks-
*Finding Codes
*Shopping Online
*Printing & Redeeming Coupons
*Completing Offers
*Playing Games
*Trade Ins
*Surveys
*Referring Friends

You can use your Swagbucks towards gift cards or prizes. PayPal is an option, but you get a better value if you use your SB to purchase amazon gift cards.

I have earned $15 in Amazon gift cards so far this year with SwagBucks.

2. MyPoints- You can earn up to 75 points a month for doing searches. You will also earn 100 points by downloading the toolbar.

Other ways to earn points-
*Shopping Online
*Reading E-mails
*Playing Games
*Taking Surveys
*Referring Friends

You can use your points to get gift cards, including Paypal. I normally save my points all year and then use them to get gift cards for Christmas gifts. I am usually able to get at least one $25 gift card a year just by doing searches and reading e-mails.

3. Bing- Earn 1 credit per 10 searches until July 2nd. Download the toolbar to be able to see credits earned and available offers.

Other ways to earn credits-
*Trying New Features

Use your credits towards prizes and gift cards. get 250 credits when you sign up.

Other sites-
Zoombucks

Make Money As A Mystery Shopper

Filed under Making Money On-Line by Jennifer Billy on June 6, 2011 at 7:30 am {no comments}

Making extra money from home is going to involve multiple streams of income. None of the companies I have mentioned so far is going to make you rich, but if you have multiple sources of money coming in, they can really add up.

We have already touched upon completing surveys and using cash back sites. Today I want to talk about mystery shopping. There are a lot of sites that will ask you to pay them a fee and they will provide you with companies. This is not necessary. Just like survey companies, you do not need to pay to get signed up.

I have joined a few companies, but dsg associates has been the only one that I have actually done work for and got paid. Last month I complete an assignment by getting an issuance quote over the phone for $10. It was a very simple assignment and dsg was very helpful and made the process easy. I also like that you can call at any time to speak to someone if you have questions.

Dsg associates will e-mail or call you with possible assignments. You only accept what you want. You can also call at any time to see if there is anything that you may qualify for.

Dsg associates are currently looking for new shoppers. If you are interested in mystery shopping, this is a company I would recommend joining. Here is how to join-

1. Call them at 1-800-462-8765. Make sure to let them know that Jennifer Billy referred you. My IC# is- 270123

2. OR Fill out form below and someone will contact you shortly.

Make Money With Surveys- HCDSurveys

Filed under Survey Sites by Jennifer Billy on April 18, 2011 at 11:19 am {no comments}

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

Go HERE if you are new to surveys and need help getting started.

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)

Make Money With Surveys- Mindfield Online

Filed under Survey Sites by Jennifer Billy on April 11, 2011 at 10:52 am {no comments}

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)

Total For the Year: $122.17 ($52.17 over goal)

Payments Received for Year: $45
*Waiting on payment of $21.90

Go HERE if you are new to surveys and need help getting started.

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.

You can also make money with Mindfield Online by referring others. You can cash out with Mindfield Online once your account hits $5 for check or Paypal.

The only negative to Mindfield Online is that I do not receive a lot of surveys from them. I will usually get one or two e-mails a week. I have received $5 from them so far and currently have $9 in my account.

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).

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.
