I've decided to start the blog with links to all the places I use to make money or get involved in product testing online. Some have referral links, and some do not. If there is one I appreciate you using it and it will often give you a bonus as well. This is for anyone who comes across the blog and wants to try earning money online for themselves.
My tips: All of these sites I have used and tested for 3+ years and they are 100% free. Some have options to buy things but I have had success without that nonsense. I do suggest creating a new email just incase for privacy and spam reasons. I also don't give out personal information beyond the email, a variation of my name (ex. suzi for sue), and an address for prize redemption.
This list will be updated and added to as needed (last update: 1/7/2011)
Swagbucks
This is by far the #1 way I've earned money and gift cards online. I get at least $5 in amazon gift cards a week! They have surveys, daily polls, hidden codes to find- and you get rewarded for watching their own "swagTv" which is similar to Youtube videos. You also get points for normal internet things like searching, shoppings, etc. I downloaded the toolbar for searching, but you don't have to as they have their own built in search similar to Google. You earn swagbucks to redeem for Gif tcards, video games, DVDs, Clothes, Consumer Electronics- this site seriously has the biggest variety of cash or prizes.
I would appreciate if you used my referral link: http://swagbucks.com/refer/LilSarahBug and if you do they give you 30 swagbuck points to start!
Knowledge Panel
This is a great site that sends surveys a few times a week. The surveys will often remind you of those fill-in-the-bubble tests. Each survey completed will give you points on your account and when you reach $25 you cash out for a check to be mailed to you.
NEW: Join now and you can cash out when you reach $10.00 for your first payment. After that if goes to the normal $25 limit!
These are pretty easy/quick surveys and vary a lot. Sometimes I have to watch movie trailers and score them, sometimes its commercials and ads. You can save points by taking surveys to earn: $25 amazon gift card $20 blockbuster card $20 Macys giftcard $20 Mariot gift card This one is for people who love to talk to other people about new exciting products. Its a product testing site where you sometimes join "campaigns" where you are sent samples to give to friends and spread the word to others. We've gotten some pretty sweet free products to tell others about. Sometimes food, sometimes gagets- like when we got a remote that was like from the year 2054 and retailed for almost $200! This site not only sometimes lets you advertise for them, but it also hooks you up with "my points" which is another rewards site (see below) you cash in points to get cash/gift cards/stuff. I don't have a refferal link but if you sign up and it gives you a chance to say someone referred you my "AgentID" (wow that sounds snazzy) is "SarahBug". Yeah this one pretty much rocks. You can get points from BzzAgent (above) but also you get points for looking at the various daily emails they send you and clicking on them. These emails advertise different online companies and although you are encouraged to look around and make purchases, it is never required. If you do choose to purchase from an online retailer you are rewarded extra points (such as 3 points per dollar spent). They also send surveys which are more points. A little point-click-close goes a long way. Although I put little effort into this one I got about $275 worth of gift cards from it this past year. Amazon, RedRobin, Old Navy, Walmart, Chillis, etc.. There are MANY options for gift cards you can redeem. This is another "click the email" one, similar to mypoints but much it takes a lot longer to earn points. As in mypoints, they will email you advertisements to click on as well as surveys. On this one you cash out at every $30 for a check to be mailed to you, not giftcards. Sign up under my referral and instantly have $5.00 added to your account earnings. I can refer you through having you click HERE. This is almost an exact clone of Inbox dollars. Same advertisements to click on via emails. You cash out at every $30. I can refer you through email only, so please leave your email in the comments. This site gives you $5 if you sign up by referral. My blog comments are private until I approve them and I delete emails for your privacy. This one is my favorite as far as surveys go. You get surveys, they give you points. And every now and then when it adds up to $20 you cash it out for a check. This one sometimes sends you free stuff to try and then you get a survey about it when your done for another cash amount. These surveys also seem more interesting than most. I can refer you through email only, so please leave your email in the comments. My blog comments are private until I approve them and I delete emails for your privacy. Survey Saavy sends about 3 short surveys to your email daily. Sometimes you will qualify, and sometimes you will not. For this reason you can cash out your earnings at any time, from $1 to $1 million. They send checks quickly and often are linked up with other companies for my exciting opportunities such as invites to private surveys and product testing. Please join through my referral link: https://www.surveysavvy.com/ss/ss_index.php?id=3527160&action=join&lid=en-us This one is like Toluna. Surveys. $20 bucks. But more free stuff to try and give input on. Sadly, they aren't taking new people right now. Its by referral only, but if you leave your email I will send you a referral as they become available. I can refer you through email only, so please leave your email in the comments. My blog comments are private until I approve them and I delete emails for your privacy. This one is for people who love games online. You play games for free and get points. Then you cash points in for giftcards. Amazon. Papa Johns. Sees Candy. it changes, but I usually go for Amazon. The games range from bingo to scrabble to slot machines to soduko. The appeal for many of this site is the social aspect, you play along others and can trade tiles and bingo balls. By helping others they will help you in return and everyone wins more. The site is free because ads play along side the games from time to time, but if you would like to become a paid member you will have no ads and 4 times the points rewarded per game. Please use my referral link: http://www.winster.com/refer.jsp?uid=tx4czt04zz3yt PineCone Research Referral Only and there are no referrals right now. When they send surveys they put $3 in your paypal automatically. No points, no waiting for things to add up. Just money goodness. They usually send 3-8 surveys a month. Often they ask if you would like to try a product and give input, but not a lot. I have tried gum, candy, soup, and frozen meals for them with extra cash for my input. I can refer you through email occasionally , so please leave your email in the comments. My blog comments are private until I approve them and I delete emails for your privacy. There are more sites but request that they remain private. As they allow me to post about them or refer people I will! How I pinch my pennies: This site is amazing for coupons, deals, sales, and tips for all your penny pinching needs. I can't reccomend it enough which is why I'm proud to even be a moderator on the site. You won't find a nicer group of people anywhere online so willing to help you pinch your pennies with little effort. Just click and explore..and if you see "SarahBug" thats me, say hi! |
