Surveys Are An Asset You Shouldn't Overlook.
June 27th 2009 02:31
Surveys,
These are usually people's first attempt at "making money online" and 99% of them go horribly wrong. Right? You get flooded e-mails full of garbage and you don't make a cent.
Well, I've done the research for you and if you are looking for something to do while not writing or working from home, surveys honestly kick ass. Here's a list of the ones I use:
Lightspeed Panel: This place sends you e-mails all the time. You earn points for doing the surveys. Each survey is between 75-2000 points. The last one I did, they sent me a palm pilot and Visa prepaid card for $10. I filled out some junk each day for two weeks and when I send it in Monday, they send me another card for $60. Not bad!
You will accumulate Lightspeed points quickly if you stick with it. What I do is save them all up until around October-November then buy stuff for Christmas or simply cash out to PayPal. Yes, you can turn those points directly into PayPal cash!! I like this site the best.
E-rewards- This place mostly deals in shorter surveys geared for business people if you want good money. I technically am the CEO of my writing business right? I take the business surveys and many are worth as much as $12-$25 e-bucks. I like to get gift cards from this place. They show up in about 2-3 weeks for me. I cash out the $50 e-bucks and get gift cards for Gamestop because that's my thing.
Zoompanel- My wife uses this one and I really don't know much about it so won't go into it. She DOES get cool stuff in the mail from them so if you enjoy these surveys, give it a shot.
Here's a quick breakdown of JUST lightspeed panel.
Say you do 1 survey a day M-F. Average survey is 150 points.
If you do this from Jan-November, you are looking at 3000 points per month. You'll probably get much more than this. That means 33000 points by November. The highest priced items are in the 6000 point range and include things like:
$50 Crate & Barrel E-Certificate
Smoked Seasoned Turkey Breasts (Honey Sage) Smoked Seasoned Turkey Breasts (Peppered)
It's a dream come true for kitchen items, dvds, video games, and gift cards.
Or you can cash out each 1150 points for $10 PayPal!
This is great for people who don't even write. My Grandma does these regularly and has an enormous DVD collection from these guys.

I have been looking for information on legit surveys for awhile now. I would love to be able to do them when I have a down time in my writing or I am just trying to procrastinate
Thank you for posting this information, but now I have a question. I checked out the Lightspeed and the E-rewards websites and you cannot just sign-up for them. Which is cool and I respect that...but...how do you get on with them? Did you just get really lucky? or is there a trick to the survey trade?
Any help at all will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Carla

E-rewards has done something similar so you can try "contact us".
I dug around and e-rewards is invite only. I apparently joined them because I have a gamespot/gamefaqs account.
I'll see if I can snag a referral link or something for them.
Sorry guys, they used to be very easy to join
