Making Money- February Stats!

Filed under Making Money On-Line by Jennifer Billy on March 1, 2011 at 4:33 pm {no comments}

I have been inspired by Andrea over at CentsSaved to make a consistent effort to make some extra money on-line. I have mentioned earlier this year that I had a goal to have a 3 month emergency fund put away by the end of the year in an ING DIRECT account. Well I am going to help fund this through the extra money I make on-line.

I am going to aim for $1500 this year. So that means I will have to make $125 a month. I am also going to work at having $250 in gift cards to use towards gifts.

Here are my results so far this year:

January
Affiliate Sites (from blogging)- $96.86
Sponsored Tweets- $.44
Mr.Rebates- $4.40
PayPal (cash back from debit card)- $.10
Total: $101.80

Gift Cards
Swagbucks- $5 Amazon

February
Affiliate Sites (from blogging)- $42.15
Sponsored Tweets- $1.08
YouData- $.97
Mr.Rebates- $1.27
PayPal (cash back from debit card)- $.20
Surveys- $53.50
Total: $99.17

Total for Year: $200.97

Gift Cards
Total for Year: $5 Amazon

So I am almost $50 short in reaching my goal. Hopefully I will make up for it through out the year.

Making Money With Surveys- Getting Started

Filed under Survey Sites by Jennifer Billy on February 21, 2011 at 1:36 pm {one comment}

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 made $92.70 from surveys over the last year. It has taken me a while to figure out which companies are good and which ones are a waste of time.

I try to stick with survey companies that pay in cash or gift cards. I also usually only do offers that are for actual points or money and stay away from the ones that are for an entry into a drawing. It is also important to sign up to multiple companies so that you will always have a surplus of surveys to take. I am currently signed up with and active with 15 different companies.

I am going to introduce you to all of my favorite companies. I will do a post a week with a new one that I feel is worth signing up to. These are companies that I am currently using and making money with. They are also all FREE to join. You should never be asked to pay anything to join a site. You should also never have to pay a site to provide you with a list of survey sites.

The first thing you are going to want to do is set up a separate e-mail just for surveys. That way you will not fill your regular e-mail with all the surveys you will be receiving. Plus when you are ready to complete some of the surveys they will all be in one place for you to begin going through them.

You also will need to sign up for paypal if you do not already have an account. It is the easiest way to get paid plus some of the companies will only pay through paypal.

You will now be ready to start signing up with companies. If you want you can sign up with a new one each week as I talk about them, or go ahead and sign up to them all at once from my list. I would start out slow however, because you are going to want to fill out all the profile surveys with each site. Not all sites will pay you for doing this and it can be time consuming, but it will help you to qualify for more surveys.

I have set a goal of making $250 this year from taking surveys. To accomplish this I will need to make around $5 a week. This should be pretty attainable by completing just a few surveys a week.

If you would like to join me in this journey please let me know your goal and how you are doing. Also, if you find a site that you are having success with please let me know so I can add it.

Make Money With Surveys- e-Poll

Filed under Survey Sites by Jennifer Billy on February 3, 2011 at 5:40 pm {no comments}

Last year I started to introduce you to surveys sites that I currently use to make money. I set myself a goal to make $250 last year taking surveys. Unfortunately I did not make that goal. I stopped doing survey around April due to my pregnancy and then having the baby. However in those few months I did make $92.70. I also have over $40 in my accounts waiting to be cashed out.

Since I did not make my goal last year, I will try to hit it this year. It should not be too hard to do if I stick with it the whole year. I will just need to make around $5 a week. I should be able to do that by completing a few surveys a week.

If you are new to surveys, you can go HERE to learn how to get started. If you would like to join me in this journey please let me know your goal and how you are doing.

Today I am going to introduce you to a new survey site that I have been using called e-Poll. I have belonged to e-Poll since July 2009. In that time I have earned a $10 Amazon gift card.

Surveys average around 500 to 1000 points. Rewards start at 2500 points and include donations, PayPal deposit and gift cards. The more points you have the better value reward you will get. So my goal is to wait till I can get 17250 points to redeem for $30.

You can sign up with e-Poll by going HERE.

Make Money With Reward Sites- MyPoints

Filed under Reward Sites by Jennifer Billy on April 6, 2010 at 9:26 am {no comments}

I am going to take a break from the traditional survey sites. If you have been following my weekly posts then you have 11 sites now that you can join to start earning money taking surveys.

I want to start talking about different Reward sites. These are sites that are free to join and you can also make some money or rewards by taking surveys but also by shopping, reading e-mails, searching the web, printing coupons and completing offers. Like survey sites I would recommend having a specific e-mail address for these sites so you do not overload your personal e-mail account. Another advantage is that they are all in one place when you have time to open the e-mails.

The first site that I want to talk about is MyPoints. I really like this site because there is a lot of ways to earn points. I have been a member of MyPoints since June of last year. So far I have redeemed a $25 gift card and am close to cashing in for another $25 gift card. My goal for this site is to make $50 a year with MyPoints.

You can earn points by taking surveys, opening e-mails, printing and redeeming coupons, shopping online, searching the web and completing offers. You can redeem your points for gift cards. $10 gift cards start at 1500 points. This is a great site to earn gift cards to use as gifts.

You can go HERE to join MyPoints. You will receive 100 points just for joining. Then make sure to download the toolbar. You can earn up to 150 points by searching the web each month.

Total rewards cashed in so far this year in Reward Sites: $25

Total rewards I cashed in so far this year from survey sites: $50
