by Nicole on February 1, 2012

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.

Earn Money with Inbox Dollars

by Nicole on September 7, 2011

I”ve blogged about Inbox Dollars before – it’s a great way to earn some extra cash each month!

Here are 5 great tips to maximize your InboxDollars earnings:

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. To help you reach the $30 payout, below are a few tips to get you started.

1. Read Emails – this is the easiest way to earn with InboxDollars. Join InboxDollars and you’ll start receiving emails with offers on products and services. Simply click the link at the bottom of each email to confirm that you read it and you’ll earn cash rewards. You don’t have to purchase or sign up for anything, but of course if you complete the offer in the email you will earn even more cash!

2. Complete 100% FREE Offers – Check out the 100% FREE offers area of the InboxDollars site and you can earn cash (between $0.25 – $3.00) for trialing a new product or service with no money down and no credit card required. To find 100% FREE offers, visit InboxDollars.com, place your mouse over “Offers” and you’ll see 100% FREE offers as the first option.

3. Search the Web – you must download the InboxDollars toolbar to use its paid search feature. You earn $1.00 for downloading the toolbar and earn $0.01 per search per day, up to a maximum of $0.05 cents per day. Do five searches a day to max out your earnings!

4. Watch Videos – this may be the most fun way to earn rewards. Simply watch short videos on InboxDollars.com and you’ll earn cash – up to 6 cents per short video. New videos are posted every week, so you’ll always have new opportunities to watch and earn.

5. Take Surveys – earn between $0.50 – $10.00 for sharing your opinion via surveys. InboxDollars emails you withsurvey opportunities and posts new surveys to its website every day.

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.

Earn Cash and Prizes with The National Consumer Panel

by Nicole on August 25, 2011

You may recall that I’ve blogged about The National Consumer Panel before – well I just heard that they are looking for new members again! If they accept you, they will provide you with a hand-held scanner. Every time you or members of your household shop, you’ll use the scanner to scan the barcodes on all of your purchases.Then, once a week, you’ll send in your purchase information. It’s as easy as that! In exchange for your time, you’ll receive points that you can redeem for cash and prizes!

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. It 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!

The National Consumer Panel is 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 people in your area!

Toluna Survey Company: Accepting Applications!

by Nicole on July 6, 2011


It looks like Toluna is accepting applications again! As I’ve posted before, I’ve been a member of Toluna for several years now (and I remember when they used to be Your2Cents a long time ago)! I  have cashed out several times with them. They do not send many surveys but I qualified frequently for the ones that I did receive.

With Toluna, you’ll earn points worth $1 to $5 each time you qualify for and complete a survey, and each time you participate in or complete a survey you’ll also be entered into a monthly drawing for $4500. You can also earn points when you create your own polls and opinion topics to host on Toluna, or export them to use on your own blog or website.

Remember to use your separate “surveys” email when you sign up. I don’t receive any spam on the email account I use for surveys – yay! I love knowing that when I open that email, it will be filled with survey opportunities for me.

As always, it’s completely FREE to sign up for Toluna and you’re under no obligation to complete any surveys. Often, surveys lead to great product tests and if you’re able to earn just $3 per day doing surveys, that’s over $90 per month – that’s gas or Starbucks money!

Mindfield Surveys: Earn Money and Try NEW Products

by Nicole on July 1, 2011

I have posted about the Mindfield Survey Panel in the past but it looks like they are accepting new applications today so you might want to head over and sign up!

I am signed up with Mindfield and I receive approximately 5 surveys per week from them. The thing I like about Mindfield is that if you don’t qualify for a particular survey, you will find that out in the very beginning of the survey and not after you’ve wasted a bunch of time like with some other companies. Mindfield has also revised their rules so you are able to cash out with less earnings than before. As always, it is FREE to sign up and you are under no obligation to take every survey you receive.

You won’t get rich doing surveys but you can earn some pocket cash with them. The way I think of it is I spend a lot of time on the internet anyway – might as well make a little bit of money in the process!
