My Survey Earnings

I'm on my fourth month of sharing my survey earnings. Actually, this one is a little bit late since we're in mid-June and this is my earnings report for May. So there may be some June earnings included with the current numbers, but I still wanted to share my progress!

My Survey Earnings (April 2013)

This is the third month that I'm sharing my survey earnings. I have stopped using a couple sites because I didn't feel they were worth the time. I also added a new one. Read on to find out more about the sites I'm using.

My Survey Earnings (March 2013)

Last month I shared my earnings from the survey sites I signed up for. I want to continue to share my earnings with you to show you that you can make a little extra money from these sites, so I'm doing a monthly update. Here are my current earnings.

Inbox Dollars
Total Amount Earned: $14.59

 

I like this site a lot. I've earned money using their search, taking surveys, and reading email. I'm about halfway to cashing out. If you sign up, you automatically get $5!

Vindale Research
Total Amount Earned: $18.40

I earned pretty quickly at first and now it has slowed down. I still like this site though. I earned $5 just for referring someone. I also earned by taking surveys and reading emails.

Swagbucks
Total Amount Earned: 1780 swagbucks






This site is my favorite, as I've said before. It's so easy to earn "swagbucks" and there are tons of ways to earn them. Besides that, it's a fun site! I earn the most by searching the web.

Hits4Pay
Total Amount Earned: $7.44

This site requires the least amount of effort. You just read emails from your inbox on the site. You click on the link in the email, it takes you to the advertiser's site, you view it until you're credited, then you go to the next one. It's too easy!

Cashcrate
Total Amount Earned: $0.79



I haven't spent much time with this one, obviously. I've heard it's a good site, but I'm not really getting into it. There are a lot of offers, but I don't want to sign up for a million things. I might just forget about this one.

I-Say
Total Amount Earned: 505 points 

I've been signed up with I-Say for a couple years. I've already cashed out for $65 worth of rewards. I opted for both Paypal and Amazon credit. I've also been able to try cool products in exchange for my opinions! This is a really great site. You even get  points for every survey you don't qualify for.
Sign up


Total earned: $64.07

The total amount includes the cash and point value of everything I've earned so far.
I don't have a lot of time to commit to surveys, which is why I'm only signed up for these few reward sites. There are tons of these sites though. If I devoted more time to them, I could earn more quickly.
Since I'm not dependent on this money, I'm going to let it build up over time. I'm in no rush to cash out yet. It's almost like keeping a rainy day fund or a savings stash!

My Survey Earnings (Feb 2013)

In my last blog post, I shared the various ways I earn money online. I mentioned that I would do monthly updates on what I've earned on the survey/reward sites I'm signed up for.
These are my earnings for February 2013 along with my thoughts on each site:

Inbox Dollars
Amount Earned: $11.02
How I earned: Reading email, clicking ads, completing surveys, searching the web

This site is great. When you don't qualify for a survey, you can "Spin to Win" for various rewards. You get daily emails that you just have to click on to earn money. You also get daily survey opportunities. It's really easy to earn money on here and it doesn't require tons of time.

Vindale Research
Amount Earned: $13.20
How I earned: Surveys, completing offers, reading email

I've earned the most on this site so far. There are evaluations that pay out well (you usually have to pay for a service/product and evaluate it - depending on the evaluation, you could earn back the money you paid plus more). There are plenty of studies (or surveys) as well that don't cost anything. You also get daily emails that pay you just for looking at them.


Swagbucks
Amount Earned: 1,260 SB
How I earned: Watching videos, daily polls, completing offers, searching the web, etc.

This site is my favorite. It's easy and fun. You earn swagbucks just for doing simple things, like taking the daily poll or visiting a facebook page. There are so many ways to earn swagbucks including everything I mentioned above plus taking surveys, shopping, completing tasks, etc. I could already redeem my points for a $10 gift card but I'm saving them up for now.

Memolink
Amount Earned: 764 pts
How I earned: Joining, taking a survey, completing my profile

I haven't gotten into this site much. It doesn't seem like it's as easy to earn on this site nor are there as many opportunities to earn like the other sites. I have a long way to go before I can cash out.

Cashcrate
Amount Earned: $0.45
How I earned: Cash tasks

I've barely earned anything on this one! Like Memolink, I haven't spent much time on it. I have to test it out a little more to see if I like it and how easily I can earn on it.

Hits4pay
Amount Earned: $5.20
How I earned: Signing up, reading email

At first, I was confused by this site. You're supposed to get paid for reading emails, but after opening them and clicking I wasn't getting credit. I went back to it and now it's working, so I'm a little behind on this one. It's easy to earn money on here; I'll stick with it for awhile.

Total cash earned this month: $29.87

That's not a bad amount and that's not even counting the sites that pay with points. If you include Swagbucks, which is worth a $10 gift card (1000 points), that adds up to $39.87! Pretty good for my first month on these sites. It's great to make a little extra money this way if you have some time.

There may be a couple that I won't continue with if I don't think they're worth it. I don't want to spend too much time on these sites. It's nice when you're able to do more than just surveys to earn rewards because surveys can eat up a lot of time. Many of them can take 30-45 minutes. I definitely don't want to devote that much time to a survey. Of course there are surveys that take less time too.

I'll be updating again next month on my earnings with these sites. If you're looking to join any of them, I would recommend Swagbucks, Inbox Dollars, and Vindale. Let me know if there are any survey/reward sites you like that I didn't mention!
