Need some spending money?

July 28, 2008

Let’s face it, who doesn’t need some extra spending money?  The question is – how to make it?!  There’s always everybody’s favorite retirement plan…. the lottery!  But let’s not kid ourselves.  That’s a better plan for throwing our money away.

So what are you supposed to do when that Vegas trip is coming up or your coffee fund jar is running low?  You could go and get yourself a 2nd job but chances are one job is enough!  Most people turn to the internet to find extra money.  A very popular way to earn money online is to fill out surveys.   Let me share my tips for online surveys….

First.  You need to find a credible site that pays out.  My #1 favorite is http://cashcrate.com/585781 .  They do have a minimum pay out of $10.00 but I did that with my very first survey!  Their survey listing is awesome!  You have your choice of sorting – 100% free or trial offers.  Before you even start filling out the survey they tell you exactly how much they will pay you and if it’s a trial offer how much it will cost up front and how much they will pay.  For example, my first survey was for a trial offer at Blockbuster.  At the time I paid for a $10 trial but http://cashcrate.com/585781 paid me $20.00 for it!   Basically I got paid $10 for the trial AND I got free movies for two weeks!!  There are also 100% free surveys to fill out.  Those can be sorted by payout, name or newest.  Not to mention the 2 daily surveys for a guarenteed $.60 a day = $18 a month!  Easy money!!!

Second.  Get yourself a spam email account specifically for filling out surveys!  (Be sure to sign up with http://cashcrate.com/585781 using a valid email address that you check daily for any news/announcements from http://cashcrate.com/585781 )  Why do sponsors pay to have surveys filled out?  So they can get your contact info.  Personally I don’t mind receiving coupons and samples in the mail but I hate to get spam in my email!  If you have a spam email account you won’t have to worry about clogging up your inbox with offers from “V1agr-a” etc… 

Finally.  I’m sure you’re asking yourself “Really?”  Yes.  Really.  Within a couple of hours I was up to $42.00.  No, it’s not going to make me rich but it’s good petty cash for very little effort on my part.  I’ve read other accounts of people making $1,000+ per month so I know it’s possible to make some serious cash if you’re willing to put in a little more effort.

I’d love to hear if you’ve tried http://cashcrate.com/585781 and how it’s going for you!
