Looking for something to do to earn a little extra income on the side or gift cards? This is not something your going to get rich doing, but this is a great way to earn a little extra income.
Everyday companies pay good money to people like you and I just to find out what we are thinking. Companies and corporations are desperate to understand how we think and shop and why you buy certain products. The reason they pay us for survey’s is to help better understand what we want, and how to market it so we will buy it.
This is something I enjoy doing while I drink my coffee in the morning or just after the kids leave for school. If you have a lot of free time on your hands, the money will sure add up. It takes time, but if you start working at it now by picking a few sites you like, and state doing them at the same time everyday or whenever you want. You will find you have a better chance at earning some extra cash to help pay for things like Christmas gifts, Birthdays, dinning out, entertainment and more.
Tips for taking surveys:
- Be prepared. Survey companies are looking for certain types of people, you won’t always qualify for every survey (if you’re a 25-year-old healthy mom and they’re looking for a 60-year-old grandma, you’re just not going to make it in)
- Screenings are important! I know they take time, but it’s important for the extra time it takes to fill these screening surveys. Because the more information the the survey site has on you, the more surveys they can send you in turn earning you more money.
- Important, you will only be matched with surveys that you can qualify for, so if you leave all your important information blank during the screening just to get through it more quicker, you will receive fewer survey opportunities.
- Check back often! Watch the sites and your email regularly for more opportunities. Some companies will post surveys more than others. Some offer surveys daily, weekly and at random. The more places you sign up with, the more surveys you’ll be able to do.
- Best tip ever – consider making a separate email account just for the survey sites.
- One more thing a legit survey company will NEVER make you pay upfront!

angiesangles, I want to say thank you for all the time you have put into finding all of these site’s and information. It’s wonderful and so helpful. Keep up the good work, I just hope I can get something started soon.
Thank you so much for such a sweet comment. It takes a long time to put this list together and then keep it updated. I like to make it a huge variety so everyone can find a few they can do and keep up with to earn a little extra cash. It helps me every Christmas to do some myself as well.
I have tryed a few of these and I have had no luck with them. Does anyone know anything else. We are not having a Christmas this year the money we get now is going for bills. There is no extra money for anything else.
This is what I used each year to help me with Christmas gifts. I only post about real sites that you can earn real money on. All of these work you just have to work at it and start early.

Lawyers are hard to find who cares. I need help as a paralyze 39 yrs of age discriminated in every way that the state fail to help me live a normal life. Many state sponsor institutions from, welfare, shelter, transportation bus and Three Cooper Plaza Dr have made unethical decision in which cause me today so much agony. I been paralyze 71/2 years every day hoping i never awake to the pain i endure from my injury and have saved all my paperwork from my grievance but have no one to help me. In details it is alarming if you could see the treatment harshly impose upon me because they lost the ability of caring. Will you please help because I’m slowly drifting away to death calls upon me due to lack of regards of Doctors and the abuse state provided institution ignoring my A.D.A Civil Rights under Title 3 because they can. Sleeping in urine daily, legs violently spasm, loss of appetite, pain I beg for death to take me and the violation of my dignity in these last few months “ The facility of Three Cooper Plaza doctors conspire with each other to fabricate my medical record to force me to not be treated out of discrimination with no regards to my safety, the suffering I endured almost led me to the bridge. I have bruises, scabs and swelling on my penile from duck taping in order to stop one of the few issues due to wrongful treatment to not care for me. Seven years in that facility and in my records show I was a good person and within two months my original doctor left and chaos because I follow a chain of command against one doctor who done wrong led others to retaliate against me no matter of disability hardship to come. Congressmen and Senator are aware of my issues. I had never been in thoughts of death to how they abandon me out of discrimination. I been to the emergency about 7 times and the suffering has totally change my life with more hardship than anyone can’t imagine. I really want them to be penalize for their brutal tactic over violation to cruel humanity care. I still suffer today and I just found a doctor who save my life. help? I can’t even say suffering because it was torture. I have records of their disregard to my life. They are powerful people with great lawyers I’m sure but I truly believe a jury will find them guilty to malpractice to do what they did because discrimination as well knowing the suffering could has kilt me. I’m sure they will want to settle but I want justice. Corruption should be not in the interest of patients disable to sever punishment with no medication or doctor to properly care for me as a paraplegic. Thank you for taking time to read this brief letter of my health.
