Fast Survey Money .org » Online Surveys http://fastsurveymoney.org Get Paid Cash for Surveys Mon, 28 Sep 2009 04:29:29 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=2643 Review of Blarry House Research http://fastsurveymoney.org/review-of-blarry-house-research http://fastsurveymoney.org/review-of-blarry-house-research#comments Mon, 28 Sep 2009 04:27:30 +0000 Cash for Surveys http://fastsurveymoney.org/?p=565 Blarry.com is the website for Blarry House Research, located in San Francisco, California. This company is an online survey company that conducts its research through focus groups, rather than questionnaires. The focus groups meet either on the internet or by telephone. Participants are asked to give their candid responses about their professions, hobbies and even breakfast cereals. The focus group is comprised of people from similar backgrounds or use the same products (for example, everyone who likes Cheerios cereal).

The company’s website is open only to United States residents older than age 13. This is yet another way for your teenager to earn money; however only one person in the family can participate in each focus group. You can, as an adult, sign up for the site and have your teenager participate in a particular focus group, so even though you have one account, other members of the family can participate.

Payment for participation in a focus group ranges from $40 to $150. This is a nice survey company to join, the pay is good, although the focus groups generally take about an hour of your time. The company is based in California, so if you are planning on participating in a teleconference forum, you should have unlimited long distance service on your phone; otherwise you may end up paying more for the call than you earn in the survey.

The only drawback to participating in this site is that you can’t expect to participate on a weekly basis. But the more you answer “yes” to the general questionnaire you complete upon joining the site makes you eligible for more focus group participation. Payment is sent to your home in the form of a check.

There are many positive aspects about joining this site, besides the money. Blarry.com will never try to sell you anything. Since joining, I’ve received only a few e-mails and participated in one focus group, which was via internet. I have not yet participated in a teleconference. The internet focus group was conducted as a “chat session” and was quite painless.

In addition to not trying to sell you anything or spamming your inbox, Blarry.com maintains your privacy and will not sell your information to those who do want to sell you something. This cuts down considerably on unwanted telemarketing calls.

Blarry.com is very similar to survey groups I participated in years ago, before the advent of the internet. A panel of people who fit the criteria is selected and they give their views about a different product or service. Yes, the chat session or teleconference is lengthy, but pays well. They also cater to people who work outside the home during the day as most of the focus groups meet in the evening; however, if you live on the East Coast, you have to account for the three hour time difference.

I truly enjoy being a member of this survey company. It’s honest, professional and pays a decent amount of money to individuals for their time. Best of all, you are not limited as to how many focus groups in which you can participate.

If you are looking for a legitimate way to earn a few extra dollars (you aren’t going to retire on the money you earn from this site), and enjoy giving your opinion in front of other people, this site is for you.

There are more companies and ways to get paid for market research. Have a look at our review of the best guides for more info.

Signing up for this site is easy and free. The url is http://www.npdor.com. As a matter of fact, if you choose to join the online survey world, you will probably end up signing up for it anyway. Just about every online survey portal provides your information to this company.

The surveys are easy. And in between taking each survey, you can rest assured that you will be automatically directed to a website for one of the following:

Online education
Health Insurance
Diabetes Care

Ever since I unwittingly signed up for NPD Online Research, I have received at least 20 calls from people trying to sell me either an online education or health insurance. I never have to worry about getting lonely; the phone is always ringing.

The good news about this site is that the questions that they ask you are easy. So easy that a 5-year-old can answer them. But NPD isn’t really interested in your answers. They are interested in obtaining as much information about you so they can sell you the following:

Online education
Health Insurance
Diabetes Care

Occasionally, they will surprise you with a chance to “earn” a free issue of “Taste of Home” Magazine. With the promise of a subscription. Don’t worry about giving them your credit card information; they already have your phone number and if you check the “yes” box without reading carefully, they will charge the subscription directly to your phone bill.

In exchange for sharing personal information with this company and fending off telemarketers, participants have the advantage of being entered into their monthly “sweepstakes” drawing…for $1,000.

Ever since I mistakenly signed up for this site, my inbox has been flooded with spam. I have contacted the company several times, via e-mail, and asked them to take me off their list. I have not yet received a reply. It doesn’t matter, however, because most of the mail they send me goes directly into my “bulk” mail. And I empty that regularly without ever looking. While I used to get about 50 pieces of “bulk” mail a day, I now get at least 200 pieces of “bulk” mail a day. All thanks to NPD.

Online surveys can be fun and can earn the participant a few dollars. I’ve researched many of them and found that NPD is not one of them. They take your information and offer you absolutely nothing in return. Unless, of course, you believe that you have the chance of winning the “sweepstakes” prize.

The worst thing about NPD is that it encourages young people to join their “panel.” The site is open to anyone over the age of 13, but adds a disclaimer that they “do not KNOWINGLY collect information from persons younger than 13.” In English, this means that just about any kid with access to a computer can click on to this site and participate under the guise of entering “sweepland,” which is the name given for the sweepstakes that you can win once you’ve given them every bit of information about yourself besides your blood type.

My sense of humor has made it possible to laugh at NPD. I particularly like their non-committal answer to whether people can actually earn cash for participating in their surveys. This is a simple, direct question that requires a “yes” or “no” answer. Their answer? Sometimes you might be able to earn cash.

If you are thinking about participating in online surveys for cash, please do yourself and your family a favor and stay away from this site. Unless, of course, you wish to receive incessant phone calls and e-mails about:

Online education
Health Insurance
Diabetes Care

If you have unwittingly joined this website by accident, keep a close eye on your telephone bill in case they have decided to send you a “complimentary” magazine subscription.

The points are called “Visor points” and you earn a certain number of points (usually around 50) for completing each survey. After joining the site, you will become what they refer to as an “E-visor,” and you’ll earn 100 points for joining the site. Unlike other online survey sites, you do not get points for referrals.

Joining ClickIQ takes about 15 minutes of your time. You need to fill out an extensive questionnaire regarding the household products you use, children in your family, occupation, etc. This information is collected to put you on a panel. When your profile is complete, you can view the number of panels you are eligible for.

ClickIQ collects information for a third party, ascertains the information provided to them from your survey then informs them of the results. Surveys are sent to participants via e-mail. You are under no obligation to complete any surveys, but the more you complete, the more points you earn. You need to accumulate 2,500 points in order to “cash out.” Each 100 points is worth $1, so on the average, you will make about $1 (sometimes up to $1.50) for each survey you complete. The surveys are very short, however, and take less than 10 minutes to complete. There are some surveys that take longer and offer more points. The highest amount of points I made for completing a survey was 500 and that survey took me approximately twenty minutes to complete.

I have mixed feelings about this survey site. I found the initial questionnaire to be quite extensive and time consuming. The other problem I have is that they offer surveys sporadically. You won’t even receive one each week, which makes accumulating points a lengthy process.

The good news about this site is that it is truly legitimate. They will pay you $25 every time you accumulate 2,500 points and do so by check. You can also request to have the money put into your Paypal account.

Another positive aspect of ClickIQ is the privacy issue. Since joining the site, I haven’t received any spam mail, as a matter of fact, I haven’t received many e-mails from them at all. Unlike some online survey sites that seem to flood your inbox every 15 minutes or so, ClickIQ is very low-key. They will never provide your personal information to a third party and you won’t be harassed by a series of unwanted telemarketing calls.

Prior to writing this blog, I clicked on the website to see if there was anything new and was surprised to see that at the current time, no surveys are available. Other members of Click IQ who I’ve met and talked to state that the site tends to be either feast or famine. There are usually many surveys available at once and then the site dries up for a couple of weeks. So you can’t expect to earn a steady income on this site. But then, I don’t think there’s a paid survey site out there where you can actually earn a steady income.

ClickIQ is open to US residents only. They do not specify age, but request that you are the “decision maker” and in charge of the grocery shopping, so it’s really not a site for young people, unless there are teenagers out there who actually do grocery shopping. This is about as rare as finding a paid survey site in which to make a living.

I believe this site to be legitimate, but slow to pay. It does no harm to join, but do not expect to receive a check for at least two months.

An online survey company that offers participants a chance to win a cash drawing for completing quick, fun surveys and actual cash (between $4 to $50) for completing more extensive, in depth surveys that they refer to as “focus groups.” The site contends that focus group participants generally do not make less than $50.

To join American Consumer Opinion, you need to go to www.acop.com. This will bring you to the ACOP home page where you can sign up for the site. After you complete the questions, a confirmation link will be sent to your e-mail address under the name of “Ann Parks.” The site warns that many of these e-mails end up in your bulk or spam folder, so if you are interested in receiving e-mails from the site, you should add the name “Ann Parks” to your e-mail address book.

American Consumer Opinion has been around for about 10 years. It’s a legitimate site, but, unfortunately, does not offer a lot of money. There are several pros and cons to joining American Consumer Opinions:

Some Pros:

- The site is open to international residents. You don’t have to live in the United States to participate and there is no age limit, although since many of the surveys pertain to work and other adult-oriented activities, teenagers will find the questions boring;

- There is a steady flow of both short surveys and longer questionnaires available to participants;

- Your information is private; they will never try to sell you anything, spam your mailbox with ads or telephone you.;

- The site has been around a long time and is respected in the marketing community.

Some Cons:

- There is no guarantee of earning anything for completing the short surveys, only an opportunity to win cash in a monthly drawing. To date, I haven’t won anything. Only one person wins each month and the winner receives $250;

- The cash received for participating in a lengthy survey is not paid to you by ACOP, but by the company requesting the information. You may end up waiting four to six weeks for a $4 check;

- You don’t get to pick which surveys you want to complete, you’ll receive them by e-mail;

- There are times when the site goes “down” in the middle of your survey, which means you have to take the entire thing over again. The reason the American Consumers give for this is that the site is experiencing “too much traffic.” But it is extremely frustrating.

American Consumer Opinion is a subsidiary company for Decision Analysis Inc., a Dallas based marketing research company. The company performs research for a variety of corporations around the world, including fast food chains, railroad corporations and airlines.

On a scale of one to ten, I’d have to rate this site a five. It’s not a big money maker, but is totally legitimate and private.

An alternative site that I recently discovered is called Your Free Surveys. Like ACOP, it is legitimate. We’ll have a full writeup in a future blog article. For now, they are running a special where they pay you a $4 bonus upon signup. You can read more about the site here:

]]> http://fastsurveymoney.org/acop-review/feed 0 Pandaresearch.com Review http://fastsurveymoney.org/pandaresearch-com-review http://fastsurveymoney.org/pandaresearch-com-review#comments Wed, 05 Aug 2009 22:36:40 +0000 Cash for Surveys http://fastsurveymoney.org/?p=390 Pandaresearch.com is a very good online survey site. Ever since I began doing surveys at home for money, Pandaresearch has been one of my favorite haunts.

There are literally hundreds of online money making schemes. Many of them are just that – schemes. The trick to finding a legitimate online survey company is to do a little research. If a site promises $10,000, chances are it’s a scam. A trip to the Bahamas? It’s a scam. But when they offer you $3 to do a 10 minute survey, chances are it’s legitimate.

I’ve been participating in online surveys since I had some time while my kids were down. While these sites will not pay your mortgage, or make you wealthy, they are a good way to earn a few extra dollars when you have some free time.

The thing I like about Pandaresearch.com is that it’s easy. The surveys generally only last about 10 minutes and pay anywhere from $3 to $10. It’s not a lot of money, but it sure beats watching daytime television.

Signing up for this site is easy. If you are thinking of having several e-mail accounts and doing repetitive surveys, don’t. Only one person per address can sign up for this site. And IP addresses are easy to check. Take it slow and realize the process for what it is – a chance to earn a few bucks while sitting at home.

There are a variety of surveys to choose from at Pandaresearch.com. Many of them are free, but be wary of those who offer $45. The surveys that pay more than $10 often have a catch. Like switching your telephone carrier. Unless you are seriously thinking of doing this, avoid this type of survey. You might end up spending more in transferring your telephone service than you make in the survey.

The best thing about pandaresearch.com is that they pay through Paypal instead of by check. Signing up for a paypal account is easy and the site has a link to Paypal that will walk you through it. For those of you who are leery of Paypal, don’t be. I’ve been using Paypal for a number of years and have yet had any money stolen. Paypal is a free service and you can request a debit card from them for no charge. In addition, you can transfer money to and from your bank account without any fees. The debit card has a Mastercard logo and can be used anywhere credit cards are taken. Best of all, for each purchase you make using your Paypal card as a credit card, you get money back into your account.

The only problem with pandaresearch.com is that you have to accumulate $100 in your account before you receive payment. But it’s not difficult to do. Unlike some survey companies, they will not “kick you off the site” for inactivity. So you can participate in surveys at your leisure. Then, when you have accumulated $100, simply ask to have the money transferred to your Paypal account. It’s really very simple. However, the process does take four weeks for completion.

The surveys range from vacation getaways to shoes. You will not be turned down for any survey. In order to qualify for to be a pandaresearch panelist, you must be a United States resident at least 18 years of age and have a valid e-mail address. They will not accept an anonymous e-mail address, such as a hotmail account or yahoo account. No proxy servers will be accepted. And, again, only one person from each household can qualify.

Online surveys can be a fun way to make money while sitting online. If you have an opinion and like to shop, this is an excellent way to make some extra money in your spare time.

Lightspeed Panel began a few years ago and since then has built a reputation as being a legitimate way for consumers to receive cash and other prizes in exchange for sharing their opinion about certain products.

Lightspeed is open only to residents of the United States and Canada. Only one person per household can sign up for an account. To join the panel, you need to complete a questionnaire requiring demographic information. You will also need to provide your e-mail address, telephone number and personal address. As is the case with many legitimate online survey companies, Lightspeed maintains a strict privacy policy. They will not sell your telephone number or other personal information to third parties. They also won’t spam your e-mail inbox with hundreds of “free offers.”

Once you’ve answered the application with truthful answers, you’ll submit the form and receive an e-mail within 24 hours providing you with a link to your account. You’ll be asked to use a password to access your account; you can use any password you like.

Lightspeed Panel offers a “points” system. You’ll earn up to 10,000 points for completing a survey or “marketing project.” The number of points earned is determined by the length of time it takes to complete the survey. Once you have accumulated 600 points, you can easily redeem them for gift cards or cash. If you decide to redeem the points for cash, the funds will be deposited into your Paypal account within 30 days.

You can choose which surveys in which to participate by visiting the user-friendly website, where you can also keep track of your points. Lightspeed will also send you special survey offers via e-mail, so you should add them to your address book to prevent the e-mails from being misconstrued as “spam.”

If you are inactive for nine months, Lightspeed will cancel your account any accumulated points will be forfeited. If you are in the process of joining several online survey companies, make sure to keep this account active so you don’t end up wasting your time.

In addition to earning points by taking surveys, a lightspeed panelist can earn points by visiting websites and participating in certain activities, including games. Lightspeed posts the points to your account within 30 days after your participation in a survey or online activity.

Lightspeed is a fun and easy way to earn a few extra dollars online. Be forewarned, however, that if you earn over $600 in cash in a year’s time, you will need to complete a 1099 form and declare the earnings on your income tax statement.

I’m actually glad I joined this site a few weeks ago. Since then, I’ve accumulated several hundred points for answering very brief surveys and playing one game on a website. I have not been flooded with unwanted e-mails from the site nor have I received any calls relating to my participation on this website. I like the idea that although the cash incentive is taxable after $600, you can elect to redeem your points in prizes that you can actually use, like gift cards. On the whole, on a scale of one to ten, I give Lightspeed Panel an 8. It’s honest, easy and fun.

Best of all, Surveyspot will not give out your personal information to its advertisers, so you don’t have to worry about getting dozens of phone calls from people trying to sell you everything from health insurance to an online education.

To participate in Surveyspot.com, you must be at least 18 years old. Only one person from each family can sign up for the site, but there are many surveys that teenagers can participate in that pay. Family members just need to divvy up the money when it arrives.

Not all surveys at Surveyspot.com offer payment. Some of them simply offer a sweepstakes entry. But you are under no obligation to do any survey in which you don’t want to participate. Unlike some sites, survey offers are sent to you via e-mail. You are under no obligation to respond to the e-mail if the survey does not interest you and you will not be kicked off of the site.

If you find a survey that offers a cash reward, payment is immediate. Unlike many other online survey companies, you do not have to accumulate a certain dollar amount before receiving payment. The money is sent to you via check and generally arrives within four weeks after survey completion.

You may also be asked to test new products that will be delivered to your door. This is an excellent way for people to try different products that they would otherwise not buy. In most cases, you will be financially compensated for testing the product.

To sign up for Surveyspot.com, you simply need to click on the website and hit “join.” You will be asked a series of questions, including your telephone number. Surveyspot adds a disclaimer that it will not share your telephone number with anyone. Since I joined this website, I have not received any telephone calls from any solicitors of the products I’ve surveyed.

The surveys are fairly simple and generally take only 10 minutes to complete. The one drawback of this site is that you have to wait a few days to participate in surveys and you can only participate by responding to your e-mail. If you have a spam folder on your e-mail account, you may miss some e-mails, so it is wise to add the website to your general address book.

Throughout the year, various sweepstakes are awarded to lucky prize winners. These range from cash prizes to luxury vacations. If you are lucky enough to win a sweepstakes, Surveyspot will notify you by e-mail.

Some of the marketing companies that Surveyspot.com represents include the Marketing Research Association, the American Marketing Association, American Association for Public Opinion Research, The Council of American Survey Research Organizations and the Advertising Research Foundation. Unlike some disreputable online survey firms, Surveyspot.com is a legitimate marketing website. They will never ask you for any money and are careful to keep your private information private.

If you are just starting to explore the world of online surveys, Surveyspot.com is a comfortable place to start. After you join, an e-mail will be sent to your account to confirm your membership. Simply click on the link provided and look for e-mails from Surveyspot in your mailbox. You are under no obligation to take any of the surveys or enter any sweepstakes and you can be assured of your privacy.
