Fast Survey Money .org » Online Surveys http://fastsurveymoney.org Get Paid Cash for Surveys Mon, 22 Aug 2011 19:12:42 +0000 en hourly 1 I-Say.com Review http://fastsurveymoney.org/i-say-com-review http://fastsurveymoney.org/i-say-com-review#comments Fri, 07 Aug 2009 01:13:43 +0000 Cash for Surveys http://fastsurveymoney.org/?p=495 If you are big on sweepstakes and think that any day could be your “lucky day” to get rich by sitting around doing nothing, then I-Say.com is the online survey company for you.

The site advertises that 50 lucky people a day will win a “prize” worth up to $100. Some of the prizes include back-packs, kitchen gadgets and other “promotional” type items. After extensively reviewing the site and prizes, I’ve yet to see anything worth $100. Once a month, someone will allegedly win a prize worth up to $1,000.

All you have to do to be eligible to win is to sign up for the site. You provide I-Say.com with information and they promptly turn around and give that same information to telemarketing companies and e-mail spammers. Once enrolled, you can complete as many “no-brainier” surveys as you like. During the course of these surveys, you’ll often be directed to other websites. You’ll think you’re still taking the survey, but in reality, you will be providing dozens of companies with your personal information.

I have one word for this site — Scam. Unless you are in the market for health insurance, an online education or diabetic supplies, be afraid. Be very afraid.

Here’s an account that actually happened to someone I know shortly after joining this site. In their words, they said…

I signed up and began taking a survey. They asked a few simple questions, then directed me to a site where I was asked to “pick” something I was interested in learning more about. I said “no” to every item. This went on for several pages before I was admonished by a notice that said they were looking for “active” participants in their “marketing partners” products. Like I was mentally incapacitated, they directed me to “look again” at a number of options. And like a dummy, I did.

“Taste of Home” is magazine subscription I’ve held in the past. But as I stopped cooking long ago, and gave up the guilt of not cooking last year, I haven’t felt the need to continue reading this magazine. But I always liked the magazine and occasionally, I think about cooking. So I clicked that I was “interested” in this magazine. I was soon directed to the site and asked to give them some information, which I foolishly did. They said they would send me a free copy of the magazine. I figured I had nothing to lose; if they billed me for the magazine, I’d simply cancel the subscription.

Guess what? They billed me the next day. On my telephone bill. Lucky for me, the bill was due and I took the time to view it online as it seemed higher than normal. I didn’t even think that they could do this; but apparently, they can.

So I now have a subscription to “Taste of Home” and a “chance” to win a prize up to $1,000 in the Ispos-I-Say monthly sweepstakes.

If you are planning on participating in online surveys for cash, make sure that they offer cash and not “sweepstakes” prizes. And make sure you are not directed to other websites. Any survey company that requires you to “support their marketing partners” is not legitimate. And realize that even if you are not giving out your credit card information, you can be billed through your telephone bill.

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.

This is especially prevalent in this day and age more than ever before. It could be due to the routine lay-offs at companies across the country or it could be related to the Internet and all it offers. Regardless of why folks want to work from home, there are home employment options available. Even individuals with little to no valid experience can consider data entry working from home. This is one of the more common ways to turn a buck out of your humble abode. The key is knowing where to look for these employment opportunities and remaining adamant until you attain a good one.

If you punch the terms “data entry working from home” into a search engine, you will immediately get hit with numerous websites that discuss employment opportunities from home. While not all of these websites literally offer you data entry jobs or writing positions, many of them do provide useful information about how to attain data entry working from home positions and other home-based jobs. One route that many individuals take involves surveys. Were you aware that you could fill out simple surveys on the web and earn from them. This field mainly has to do with consumer reports to some extent. A variety of companies and businesses want real feedback from real consumers and they’re willing to pay you for it. Naturally this type of work does not typically call for a particular college degree or any special experience. If you can answer honestly and clearly, you’re golden.

Probably the most important aspect of seeking out data entry working from home positions and other home-based jobs concerns separating the frauds from the legitimate offers. Take the initiative and time to clearly read through each website/offer. What is it that they’re asking you to do? How much money will you be paid at the completion of the job? These are important things to consider. On a separate note, no legitimate data entry working from home opportunity should ask you for any upfront fees or money at all. You do not pay to work! You get paid for working. Fortunately there is likely to be a legitimate telecommuting job out there for you. You simply have to find it first.

Realizing that many people would go through the same process as I did, I created Fast Survey Money — the website that you are on now. So if you are interested in making money from home doing data entry work like surveys, join my mailing list. Go ahead and put to work for you, all of the methods that I’ve tried that works. Sign up below.

I was getting unemployment, but the amount I was taking in was less than half of what I was making at my job.

While I had various headhunters looking for jobs, I scoured the newspapers and internet for a position. Nothing. While perusing the internet one day, I discovered a way I could make money while working from home. All I had to do was fill out simple surveys and they would send me a check! It seemed easy enough.

A friend recommended cashcrate.com. I went on the site, read a little about it and signed up. I had to give my name, address, telephone number and e-mail address. Cashcrate sent a confirmation to my e-mail address and a link to click. I did so immediately and was ready to start making money.

One of the things I like about cashcrate was that you can choose which surveys in which you can participate. There is a pull-down menu and if you wish, you can do only the surveys that are 100% free. There was no “catch” to this. Cashcrate even tells you exactly how much information you need to provide in order to get paid.

The pay for each survey is minimal. Most of them pay 50 cents to one dollar. But each survey only takes about 5 minutes to complete and as I was doing nothing at the time, I embarked on several surveys. Within one hour, I made $12. Not bad for sitting at home, doing nothing.

As with any online survey company, there are caveats. If you decide to do online surveys for money, make sure you read the “fine print” in some of the surveys. There are often “free” gifts associated with many of the surveys and you are often directed to various different websites. I noticed that some of the “free” gifts, although not elaborate, had a catch. They wanted you to try a product for a certain amount of time, after which, you could cancel. But your phone number would be billed for the product.

Rule number one in doing online surveys is to watch your phone bill. While most people are clever enough not to give out their credit card information online, not all of us read the “fine print.” You certainly don’t want to spend an entire day making $30 only to have most of it tacked on to your phone bill.

Rule number two is not to give out your credit card information. You want to make sure that the website is honest and that you won’t be billed for any unnecessary charges. The whole point of doing surveys online is to give your opinion about products and get a little money. It shouldn’t end up costing you anything.

Rule number three is to use your correct information. Many companies call to make sure that you have given them the correct phone number. If you are the type of person who really gets irked by telephone solicitors, this is not the project for you. But, if you are like me, and feel no obligation to listen to a telephone sales pitch, it’s fine.

After only two days of sporadically filling out surveys on cashcrate, I made over $30. The company pays once a month, by check and the checks are mailed out on the 15th of each month. I found that it wasn’t a bad way to pick up a few extra bucks.

One of the things I like about the prospect of online surveys is that the sky’s the limit. When I was a stay at home mom, there were several survey companies in the area. You had to sign up with them and periodically, you were called in to test a product. These tests often lasted about an hour and you made about $50. It was a good way to pick up extra cash, but the down side was that you were only able to participate in a survey every six months for each company.

With online survey companies, you won’t make as much money, but you can participate as often as you like and bring in some money without leaving your house. It takes a little patience, a little caution and be prepared to receive an influx of telephone calls from solicitors.

Of all the online survey companies I tried, I enjoyed using cashcrate the most. It was easy, fun and didn’t take up a lot of my time. It’s an ideal way to make a few extra dollars while staying at home.

Signing up for this website was easy; I simply entered my name, e-mail address, gender and birth date and they sent me an e-mail. I opened the e-mail and clicked on the confirmation and was a member.

The site advertises that it has a “zero tolerance spam” policy. Vindale Research pays its members monthly through their Paypal account, but you have to have a $50 balance in order to get paid.

Surveys are easy, but some of them require you to test different products. One has to be careful with this. A survey to “test” a different online carrier pays $75, but how difficult is it to drop the carrier if it doesn’t work out?

There are many surveys, however, that pay in the $5 range and they normally last about 20 minutes to complete. They consist of the use of different household products, online shopping sites and cigarettes. Members can also earn $5 for every friend that they get to join the site.

I took a very quick survey for which I earned $2. This asked me many of the usual questions that most survey companies asked such as my average household income, occupation, number of dependants and ethnicity. I found it odd that they asked my religion and sexual preference, however. This was the first time that I’ve been asked such questions during any survey.

Those who get easily offended can take comfort in the fact that answering these personal questions regarding your religion and sexual preference is optional. Vindale Research affirms that they will not share this information with anyone.

Unlike some survey sites, Vindale Research sends you surveys through your e-mail account that fit your criteria. If you truly like taking surveys, answer “yes” to anything they ask you. Tell them you eat at fast food places at least three times a week and smoke like a chimney. Answering “no” to any questions limits your survey taking ability.

Beware of giving them your credit card or billing information. Many of their surveys require that you “test” a product. Vindale Research will send you the product, charge your account for it, and then, once you return the product with the completed survey, refund you. For someone like me who doesn’t like running back and forth to the post office, this isn’t for me. Be careful of what type of survey you sign up for.

Vindale Research reminds me a bit of some of the survey companies that I joined years ago. These companies offered up to $75 in exchange for testing their products at their facility. In some cases, you had to bring the product home, use it for a certain period of time and return to the facility to fill out a questionnaire. The surveys offered by Vindale Research pay more than the average online survey companies, but are much more involved.

People who enjoy actually testing new products might enjoy participating in this research company. Those who are looking for a fast buck, however, are best to seek out other legitimate online survey sites.
