ISay is now Ipsos i-say!

Ipsos i-say is a super introductory survey company for anyone interested in getting started. Their surveys are easy to understand and pay well. One of the features I love about their site is the opportunity to play Poll Predictor. The game is simple, fun and interactive. All you have to do is answer a simple question that gives you entries into a weekly prize drawing. The closer you come to a correct answer, the more entries you receive.

The rewards program is simple. Each survey earns you reward points. Once you have 50 or more points, you can redeem them for for merchandise or gift cards.

Remember, with all survey companies, they want loyal members. Make sure you try every survey they send. Even if you are rejected you will find more surveys coming your way that earn you points. Good luck!

Synovate, a world class research company

Here is a great survey company for anyone serious about participating in opinion research. 

Synovate is one of the largest marketing research firms in the world. Membership in our Global Opinion Panels provides you with many opportunities to voice your opinions on the products and services you and millions of other people across the globe use every day.

Here's the skinny straight from the Synovate website:

"What’s Involved?

Being a panel member is simple and provides rewards for your opinions. Once you join, you will be contacted by e-mail when a survey is available. This e-mail will contain instructions on how to access the survey and details about the rewards you will be eligible to earn. Participation for all surveys is voluntary, with no penalty if you choose not to participate.

Most surveys take 5-10 minutes to complete. You can even stop in the middle of a survey and return at a later time, picking up right where you left off. But, we ask that you try to complete them as soon as possible, since most surveys are only available for a limited time.

From time to time, we may invite you to test a product or participate in a research project conducted by telephone. Your participation in these studies as well is always voluntary.

I absolutely love this site and encourage you to sign up! By the way, I do not get a kick back for referring anyone to this site.

Keep Reading Those Emails!

I just signed up for the Deals'n'Cash website. This is another survey site that pays you to read advertising emails. Basically they are known as pay-per-click or pay-per-action websites. These sites are always FREE, so don't sign up if they ask for money from you. 

You may need to wait 24 hours + to get confirmed. They are looking to see if you already are registered with them. Once you get approved, you can earn 2-5 cents for each advertiser's email that you get from them. Remember to always wait for the confirmation link that you have read the email. It typically takes a few minutes to get through. This is the same situation as Hits-4-Pay that I told you about earlier. All of your earnings are tracked and recorded in real time.

So if you are interested in signing up for this site just click on DealsnCash. You will be taken to the site to fill out the sign in information. Happy survey hunting!

PS. This  site will credit you with $5.00 for signing up and you will receive checks from them once you get the minimum payout of $30.00 by the 1st of the month. Checks are mailed out on or before the 15th. They also send your credit via PayPal so keep that option open as well.

Dollar Surveys Starts to Pay Out via PayPal

I was surprised to day to see two notices from PayPal that money had been deposited to my account from Dollar Surveys. I wasn't sure if any of the surveys I had taken had actually gone through. On this site you get an invite from Dollar Surveys, then depending on your responses to the initial questions, you may or may not get to the actual survey. When you are finished you don't get a notice saying that you completed it. Anyway, I was happy to see some money coming from this site. It is nice that the money gets transferred immediately. You don't have to rack up points or reach a payout threshold to request payment. Now...if I can only figure out how to access more surveys!!

PayPal Pays Out!

A lot of the survey sites will offer either points to be redeemed for prizes and gift cards , chances for sweepstakes and money for your time. If the latter is better for you the easiest, fastest and safest way to get paid online is to sign up for a PayPal account. PayPal  is a service that allows you to get money transferred from your PayPal account to your checking account. They are a global leader in online payment options.

It is really simple to sign up for a basic account that you can then use whenever a survey site requires a PayPal account. To get the money from PayPal to your checking account you will need to provide tracking information that can be verified by PayPal and your bank. All of this activity is done in a secure environment where your personal information is safe. IF you are uneasy with providing your normal email address you can always open a free one on Google or Yahoo. Then you can use that account whenever you fill out surveys, request payments and transfer funds to PayPal.

Another option would be to ignore sites that use PayPal solely and rely only on those sites that send checks or deal with prizes and gift cards. Check out PayPal  for more information.

Hello World! Welcome To My Blog!

Hi everyone and welcome to my blog "Here's my Opinion! Can I get paid?". I am a semi-retired stay at home mom who loves to spend some time everyday on the computer. Semi-retired you may ask? Well my children area all over 18. However, I have a handicapped son who lives with me and my husband, and a daughter in college. My oldest is married.

Anyway, since I enjoy sharing ideas with friends,  I thought, could I make it a little more worthwhile? You betcha! I started signing up on some of the sites that either pay you cash or give you points to take the survey. Now let’s be real, you will not make a fortune doing this, but why not try to make some extra cash or get some prizes since you are on the computer anyway? 

So far, I am having the most success with online surveys like Hits4Pay; Opinion Outpost; ACNielson Homescan; Valued Opinions; e-Rewards, and ZoomPanel to name a few. All of these sites require you to sign up to receive email invitations for surveys. You can specify how many surveys and the types you want to receive. By the way, they are all free! Check Hits4Pay to get started. This online survey site even gives you a $10 bonus just for signing up!
