Got Paid Update #132: Miscellaneous Survey-Related Payment

So I have another survey-related payment to report, but I don't really have a category to record it under on my sites, so I'll just tell you about it. (lol)

If you do very many surveys at all, you probably know that a lot of the survey sites often send out invitations to "screener" surveys to see if your basic personal stats and experience match the people/topic/etc they need to survey. Often what I call the "general" survey sites will credit you with cash (or points towards cash) to fill out the screener, though sometimes the screeners are unpaid - but if you meet the requirements for the survey they're screening for, the site (or other research group the site is screening for survey respondents) usually pays a pretty hefty amount for the survey itself (or for focus group participation, sometimes you get invited to participate in a focus group about a topic or a product).

I've seen them go for around $8 per survey to up to around $175 or more, though I personally don't usually have a lot of luck qualifying for those super high-paying ones.

But every once in a while I get lucky and do qualify for the high amount ones! And indeed I did qualify for a big one recently, and when I finished, I was awarded with a $75 Amazon gift certificate for my trouble... which wasn't really any trouble at all, I basically got $75 for two days of just a little bit of time spent, and it was super easy.

All that said, I've added that total to my running total of how much I've made since 2008 - since it is, after all, money earned from being active on sites that are listed here on my blog and the Quick List.

The only thing is that I was invited into that project, which was being run by another company/research facility, after filling out a screener given by one of my usual paid survey sites I remain active with... and I don't know which one it was now (lol).

In any case, it was definitely one of the 11 paid survey sites I am actively working these days that sent me the initial screener that got me into the project that paid me $75 in Amazon funds so yes, surveys can be really worthwhile!

I really really need to do a major revision post (or series of spotlight posts, probably) on the survey sites sometime soon, but when I got active here on the blog again I did make a list of all the GPT/PTC/PTR and other sites, as well as survey sites, that I continue to actively work in an update post here on the blog. Click this link to that post and take a look (the list of survey sites is toward the bottom of the post):

Current List of Active Sites

The majority of my 11 active survey sites have been REALLY lucrative for me lately - I'm projecting about an $100 or more take from several of them for May (or May/June), mainly because I've been really making a point of checking my email most every day and going through the survey invites and doing them, instead of being lazier and only checking my email every few days or only once a week. It really does make a difference!
 
Check back tomorrow for more blog updates, I have another bit to report tomorrow!

Got Paid Update #131: ClixSense (yep, once again)

Yes, it's gotten to be a weekly or at least almost weekly thing lately, but happy as always to report I got paid once again by good old reliable and lately very lucrative ClixSense.

I requested my most recent payment of $18.77 early Monday morning and received it that afternoon. This latest payment has brought my total earnings with ClixSense to $148.59.

It has just gotten extremely easy to be able to cashout with ClixSense weekly simply by working the site's daily checklist bonus, and I'm usually doing at least one, if not two or more, surveys there daily to help reach (and some days exceed, when I have time) the checklist requirements.

As mentioned before, it's super easy to reach cashout ($6) there now if you're upgraded, but even with just a little extra work doing an extra survey or a few tasks it wouldn't be all that hard to reach the $8 cashout minimum weekly that there is for free members. And they do pay twice a week, so even better if and when you have more time to spare to work on more things available on the site!

If you're not a member yet, give ClixSense a try today!

Just an Additional Note About SurveySavvy

Hi there. Life's been a little turned upside down the last few weeks and busy, busy, busy since the beginning of the month, so I've not really had a chance to post stuff 'til now.

Today I mainly just wanted to drop a note sort of as an addendum to my post last month regarding SurveySavvy, when I received my first payment from them. I have mostly been saying all along that their surveys are usually $1 or $2 - and they usually are, for the most part - and this isn't exactly a correction since what I've usually said about them is "$1 or $2, and other surveys in varying amounts".

I mainly wanted to revisit what I said before, because just in the past month I've received two or three invitations from SurveySavvy for $15 surveys!

As I mentioned before, I initially signed up with the site pretty much right before the long period when I got too busy with offline work to be able to properly focus on most of the online money stuff, so I think I really just didn't realize some survey invitations might be that high an amount. For all I know, really, there may be some even higher!

Anyway, that was kind of a pleasant surprise. I didn't qualify for any of the $15 ones I got invitations to, but a lot of other people certainly would have... I somewhat unfortunately (for me) have a relative that works a particular industry that winds up disqualifying me from many surveys on a regular basis (I'm kinda hoping they will retire early, lol, so I can answer "no" truthfully and not keep getting disqualified on some surveys). Luckily I don't get disqualified from all or even the majority of surveys I receive invitations for, but that relative's career does disqualify me from some.

In any case, I just wanted to clarify that, that SurveySavvy does indeed send out invites to some that are at least up to $15. Granted, the overwhelming majority I see are usually $1, $2, and the occasional $5, but it was nice to see some really high-paying survey invites from them cross my desk recently.

If you like to do surveys for pay and aren't already a member, they are certainly one worth signing up with. Check out SurveySavvy today!

Got Paid Update #130 - ClixSense

I waited a little longer than I had been to cash out this time around, but wanted to drop in and post that I'd requested and received yet another payment from good old ClixSense this week.

I requested my payment of $23.50 in the early hours of the morning today (29th April) and received it later in the afternoon. This payment brought my total earnings with ClixSense to $129.82.

Since I got active on the site again and started actively working the checklist bonus on the site and doing other offers and things on the site to earn, and been working to get paid weekly or close, in the past month and a half or so alone I have earned $73.93. Pretty sweet!

The site has tons of members so you may already be a member, but if you're not, be sure to check out ClixSense! It's well worth it (and well worth the upgrade, if you're not upgraded already).

Got Paid Update #129 - American Consumer Opinion (ACOP)

I received a payment from American Consumer Opinion, also known as ACOP, this week. I've been a member there a long time (long before I ever started tracking my online money earnings) and actually have made more money from their surveys than I have a current record of, it's been so long and some of those payments were so long ago. My current "total" I keep up with is what I've been paid by them since around 2008 or so.

In any case, ACOP has always definitely been in my top five or so favorite survey sites because, even though you don't generally receive as many surveys from them as some others, they generally pay much more (usually $8 or more per survey) and they're normally pretty high quality, interesting surveys.

They also do a fair amount of sending out products for you to test out too, which is not only lucrative with more $ per survey but you get to use and keep products, which is neat.

They changed a while back from checks only to making PayPal payments (yay). It took a little while - I requested my payment of $15.55 at the end of March and received my payment about 23 days later - but like I said in the last post, the money spends the same no matter when it's received, so that's not a big giant deal to me!

This recent payment brought my total earnings (at least what I've kept up with from them since May of 2008) to $31.55.

If you like doing surveys and are not a member of this program yet, I highly recommend joining ACOP today!

Got Paid Update #128 - SurveySavvy

I received my first payment ever from SurveySavvy this week. That being said, even though it took me a rather long time to be able to request a payment from them, that's not to say they're not a perfectly good survey site.

It's my fault, actually, because I joined the site not long before I went seriously inactive at pretty much almost all online money adventures for a while, so I really didn't actively try to make any money there for quite some time. But now I have, so now I can add it to my "Sites That Pay" list and say I've been paid!

I actually like SurveySavvy a lot because, rather than a lot of other survey sites where you accrue points until you have enough points to request a payout, you know right off the bat what you're getting paid for a survey AND you can request cashout at a minimum of $1.

You won't qualify for every survey invite that comes your way, but they come pretty regularly still. You really do need to check your email every day (which I'm bad about sometimes) because their survey quotas do fill up fast, so as long as you're checking regularly, you'll likely have some you qualify for and can get paid for.

Most of their surveys pay $1 or $2, but I've seen the invites come in for surveys as high as $5 and in other amounts as well. I also generally like their surveys and the survey subjects and find them pretty interesting, even when I haven't been able to fully qualify for one.

SurveySavvy only pays by check, and it did take a while for my check to arrive (about 42 days from date of request), but that's okay with me, the money still spends the same no matter when it comes. My check was only for $2 and I probably would have waited a little while and requested when I had a higher balance, but since I hadn't been paid by them before I wanted to go ahead and request a payment so I could officially post that they're a paying site!

If you're into doing surveys for cash, this is definitely one you will want to check out if you're not already a member! Check SurveySavvy out today!

Got Paid Update #127: ClixSense (yet again)

And finally this week, reporting the third of my three payments so far in April from ClixSense. ClixSense is definitely getting to be a habit for me in recent months. I like getting paid weekly and ClixSense has made that sooo easy!

I requested my payment of $8.37 on the morning of April 15th, and received it a few hours later. This latest payment toppled me over the $100 mark with the site, bringing my total ClixSense earnings to $106.32.

If you didn't catch it before, be sure to check out my recently updated spotlight post on ClixSense for all the details of what the site's up to these days and how easy they've made it to earn in recent years.

And if you're not already a member, be sure to take a look at ClixSense today!

LinkGrand Now Offering Paid E-mails

If you're already a member of LinkGrand then you're likely already aware of this, but LinkGrand is now offering paid e-mails, which is great.

Paid e-mails are probably just about my favorite way to earn, since when life is busy otherwise it's still pretty easy to keep earning just by managing the paid mail that comes your way. There have been several periods for me over the years where I've really been too busy and swamped to keep up properly with PTC and surveys and other such stuff, but I could still usually manage to get thru the paid e-mails at least once a week or so and still make some money here and there.

I just received my first paid mail from LinkGrand this week and it contained five or six links, which was terrific, and as soon as you click and read, you earn. I think (not positive, but think so) that you earn the same amount per click in email as you do when you're doing PTC on the LinkGrand site.

While their pay per click rate is a little lower than some of their peers, there are usually always plenty of PTC opportunities on the site (especially if you're upgraded) and if this first paid mail is any indication of how mail clicks per day are going to generally go, then even better! Since their cashout level is only $5 (and they usually pay very quickly, at least within 48 hours), it doesn't take forever to reach cashout even with the bit lower click pay.

There are a lot of great things to love about LinkGrand and now offering paid e-mails is just yet another big positive for them as far as I'm concerned. Awesome! (PS: If you are already a member, you'll need to go into your account section while on the site and set your settings to receive the paid mails.)

And if you're not already a member, be sure to head over there and check out LinkGrand today!

Got Paid Update #126: ClixSense (again)

Just another post to report the second of three payments I have received in April from ClixSense. I requested this payment of $8.00 on the morning of April 8th, and received it later that afternoon. The payment brought my total ClixSense earnings to $97.95.

Since you can now cash out twice weekly at ClixSense and they've made it so incredibly easy to be able to cash out at least once a week (especially if you're an upgraded Premium member), it's really become my favorite site of late.

Not a member yet? Head on over and check out ClixSense today!

Got Paid Update #125: ClixSense

I've been a little swamped the last couple of weeks so am just now getting around to reporting recent payments.

ClixSense has paid me twice so far in April and about to be paying me again. First to report is the payment I requested on April 1st for $8.09, and received it later that day. That payment brought my total ClixSense earnings to $89.95.

ClixSense has just made it incredibly easy to reach payout at least once a week (they now pay twice weekly), especially if you're upgraded.
