Survey says...

As a kid I always wanted to be asked survey questions for Family Feud. So filling out online surveys is kind of like fulfilling a lifelong dream, right?

Okay, Surveys seem interesting. I first signed up for NPDOR a year and a half ago. After about 6 or 7 surveys I got an email saying I won $100. Cool. I actually got a check. I was busy with other jobs then, so I didn't continue doing that many surveys and never really researched the seemingly infinite amount of survey companies out there. But that changed with my recent attempts to work from home.

I went back to NPDOR and now they have an instant win possibility after each survey. So far I have only won bonus points, which I can play in daily, monthly and other various sweepstakes for cash, vacations and merchandise. It seems pointless, but then again, I never expected to win anything the first time around. I am currently researching several other survey companies. I would not fall for any of those emails which want you to buy something that guarantees money for surveys. Vindale.com is a lengthy signup, that seems to pay for pretty much every survey. I got $2 (Whoo Hoo! I know!) for a basic survey. I think they pay you regularly through PayPal and I've seen a 45 minute survey advertised which pays $65. Not bad for working from home. I'm worried that you might have to sign up for packages. The first survey pays $5 and I have to sign up for an eFax trial account. I could see this getting tricky if you are doing a fair amount of these free trials. If you forget to cancel it, I guess your out of luck. That's probably what they are hoping for, which is why the company will pay for the survey.
