Okay, I have been a major fan of reward and survey sites for YEARS. I'm going to share those I've had good experiences with because I have either won something or I have been paid.
For those of you that don't know, I run a content development business. This means that I write website content, I write articles, create blog entries, and do a lot of online PR for companies. This is much different than a survey opportunity or writing site like epinions.com. I still write articles for epinions.com once in a while and have requested payout once per year since October 2000. :) That is one you all may want to check out.
Anyway, what I do is something that I built myself. No one offered me some online opportunity if I paid them $39.99 or whatnot. I was a sophomore in high school, always wanted to be a writer, and found out that people were starting to write online for money. Some amazing person in Singapore decided to give me a chance, despite my inexperience writing SEO content. I enjoyed the work and made it a point to learn how to write anything and everything I possibly could (eBooks, press releases, business profiles, etc.). By 2003, I was writing grant proposals. It was in 2007 that I was able to make this a full-time business and work out of my home. It keeps me busy and requires about 40-60 hours per week in addition to being mom and wife, but I love it and I've been doing it for nearly 12 years now. Sometimes I even have to hire other writers to help me with the workload.
Anyway, there are times when business gets slow. It happens in waves (especially in the winter) and that means I utilize the many money making opportunities that I have found throughout the years and I'm going to share those with you in this blog. Aside from epinions.com (check it if you like to write reviews and receive ad revenue for it), there is a survey site that has paid me several times. That site is www.opinionoutpost.com. I have reached the payment threshold several times and gotten a check within two weeks of requesting it. I have found it is not too difficult to qualify for surveys here.
Anyway, check that one out. I will continue sharing money making opportunities and ideas here. Never will I post anything that requires you to pay a dime. Usually, having to pay for a money making opportunity is either a scam or is how each person makes money with the opportunity...by asking others for cash. I'm talking about telling you of sites that will either pay you right out cash or will give you the opportunity to gain some kind of revenue share. Every little bit helps and there are some people that make great incomes from engaging in multiple online activities.
Until next time...
