MyView is back looking for new members!
MyView is a global community of expert individuals who express their open, honest, and valid opinions on a wide range of topics. By experts, they mean folks just like you who are knowledgeable or passionate about almost any topic: gaming, business, family, movies, TV, books, technology and more!
It’s pretty simple. You tell them what you think about stuff like:
- Never-before-seen movie trailers
- New tools and solutions for IT Professionals
- Cutting edge tools and solutions for IT pros
- The latest fashion trends
- New video games
- Health topics
- Business issues, large and small
- And much, much more
In return, you earn valuable rewards that you can spend all over the web.
When I signed up it took no more than 3 minutes and as soon as I confirmed my account with the email they sent me, I had a survey waiting for me! Within minutes I’d racked up 850 points! What I really like about MyView is that it gives me points just for taking the “qualifying” surveys (to find out if I’m in the demographic that they need). I also really like that they give you a guideline for how long each survey will take, so you don’t get stuck in the middle of a 30 minute survey when you don’t have time.
I’m also loving the available rewards! You can use your points towards giftcards for Amazon, iTunes, PayPal, or even Prepaid Visa cards! If you’re thinking about checking out a survey site, check out MyView!

I have blogged in the past about surveys and how much I enjoy doing them as a supplement to my income. You definitely won’t get rich but you can earn some coffee or gas money PLUS there are product tests available! You won’t be told before taking a survey that a product test will be available. You have to take the survey first and at the end they ask if you’d like to try the product. I have gotten everything from toilet paper to frozen dinners that arrived on dry ice to high-end shampoo! They value consumer feedback and I love trying new products!
One of my favorite survey companies is Synovate. I’ve been signed up with them for a few years now. I get a lot of product testing opportunities from them and find their payment structure to be fair and easy. There is a minimum $10 payout and you are paid by check. Checks are mailed timely and I love that! Sign up for Synovate for FREE here.
If you’re new to surveys you’ll want to check out all of the companies I am signed up with! Synovate is a great start!

I”ve blogged about Inbox Dollars before – it’s a great way to earn some extra cash each month to help pay for those little things like a coffee every day that you indulge in!
It’s free to create an account with InboxDollars, the free online rewards club where you always earn cash, not confusing points or virtual currency. With cash payouts, you can use your your earnings however you want! New members receive a $5 sign-up bonus. After earning $30, you can request your first check and you’ll then become a Gold Member, entitling you to even greater rewards.
It’s easy to earn your first $30 in about 4-5 weeks. After receiving your $5 sign-up bonus, complete 5-10 surveys and several 100% FREE offers, read emails regularly, do web searches and watch a few videos each week. Once you’ve reached $30 in earnings, remember you need to request your first payment. Visit your My Account area on the site and click on “Request Payment” so InboxDollars can verify your mailing address and get a check in the mail to you.

SurveyHead is a fun survey company that pays you via Paypal (free to sign up for). You’ll get $5 just for signing up and are able to cash out when you reach $25.00. SurveyHead is unique from other survey companies in that they tell you up front just how good your odds of qualifying for a survey are. They also tell you how much you will receive for successful completion of the survey.
I love knowing that I will probably qualify for a survey and that my time is not being spent answering questions to later disqualify. As with all survey companies highlighted on my blog, SurveyHead is legit and FREE to join! While you won’t get rich from doing surveys you can earn a little extra pocket change each week!

American Consumer Opinion is one of the best survey companies I am a member of. I do not get many surveys from them but the ones I do are well-paying and concise.
They often send out very short screener surveys and then if you get chosen for the “big survey” you know you’ve qualified. They also send out their checks very quickly and without you having to ask! This is a reputable survey company and they want YOUR opinion! Sign up today and start earning some extra money to pay for your Starbucks habit!

Nielsen HomeScan is looking for new members. I have blogged about this program before. If they accept you, you’ll receive a handheld scanner and computer software. You’ll be asked to scan all purchases each week and then upload them via the computer. In exchange for your time, you’ll receive points that you can redeem for cash and prizes! The longer you’re a panelist, the better the prizes get.
This is an easy program but it does take some time to scan the items. Kids have a blast playing cashier though and this is a fun “job” for them to do! I was a member of the program for a while and enjoyed it. My free time is largely spent blogging now and so I returned the scanner to give someone else a chance to participate.
They are looking for people in certain areas of the country and they will tell you if it’s your area after you provide them some basic information. It’s worth a shot to see if they are looking for new people in your area!

Ipsos I Say is one of the survey companies I am a member of. With Ipsos I say you earn points which you can redeem for gift cards (like Amazon e-certificates or hundreds of other retailers) or merchandise. I receive approximately 3 surveys a week from Ipsos I Say. For those of you who have never done online surveys before the subjects can range from automobiles to personal care products. Sometimes you will qualify to test (and keep) a product in your home.
While you won’t get rich from doing surveys you can earn some extra cash to fuel your Starbucks obsession, whoops that’s me!

I usually don’t go in for surveys that don’t actually pay me to take them, but I have to admit that I was so intrigued by the idea of this RealAge Test (from Dr. Oz) that I went ahead and took it. I’m pretty glad I did! Though it takes a few minutes to complete, [...]

I started Nicole's Nickels in February 2009 to bring all of the great deals I was finding to my friends and family and then it took off! Since then I've continued my full-time day job as an attorney while blogging in the evenings and on weekends. Nicole's Nickels has evolved into a site that lets you know about great new products and services! I help my clients during the days at the non-profit I work for and then my Nicole's Nickels readers learn about the best new products for their families! I live in south/central Florida and have 2 cute dogs (see their picture under "mascots") and an amazing husband who has a spunky 6 year old we get to spend a lot of time with. I hope you'll take the time to
