Online Surveys

One of the definitions of provident is,

"Foreseeing wants and making provision to supply them."

A great way to make a few extra bucks for your wants is taking online surveys. I've been doing this for a couple of years. You sign up and the companies send you online surveys via email. Each survey takes about 20 minutes and you end up earning a few dollars. Sometimes they send you free products to try in the mail. We've received a few things. Our favorite is boxes of new cereals to try. Even Christian one day got to do a survey and earned a crisp $5 bill in the mail. Last year just before our family vacation to San Diego I was able to cash out the $ I had earned so we had some extra spending money for souvenirs.

Here are a few reputable companies if this is something you are interested in:

I have participated with this company the longest. Sometimes I go for weeks without anything from them. Sometimes they send me so many I don't have time to participate in them all. Because it's not a job you are not ever obligated to do anything they send you so there's no pressure. Sometimes you are not the demographic they are looking for so you don't qualify for every survey but I earn about $200 from them a year. (like I said a FEW extra bucks LOL) I cash it out about every 6 months. It's great for a little extra spending $.

Brandon occasionally does surveys with this company. They send him opportunities all the time but he just doesn't have a lot of time. Instead of paying you money you earn gift certificates to retailers or your choice.

This company is one of the best. Not everyone can sign-up like the others but right now they are taking apps. They are not always looking for people so sign-up now if it's something you think you want to try. If you are in the demographic they are looking for you can become a panelist. They pay $3 for each survey and send products for your family to try.
