I’ve tried out YourFreeSurveys for a few weeks now. So, what’s my review of YourFreeSurveys?

YourFreeSurveys is a website that doesn’t directly offer you surveys. Honestly, this was slightly disappointing. On their website they advertise surveys they are “giving” their members. YourFreeSurveys just refers you to other surveys. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, in fact I got referred to some high profiting surveys this way.

Upon signing up with Your Free Surveys you get $4.00. Of course, you have to meet and account minimum of $30.00 to cash out. From my research it looks as though it would take at least 2 months to reach this account minimum at first. This is fairly typical for a paid survey website.

Ultimately, I would recommend YourFreeSurveys, especially to paid survey beginners. It’s a good resource and does connect you with some high paying surveys.

What is Amazon’s Mturk? It’s a place where people and companies can post mini jobs for people to do. Some of these jobs include things like categorizing an image, rating a website, or checking to make sure business information is correct. Anything that would be hard for a computer to do is posted on this site. These type of mini tasks pay anywhere from $0.01 to $0.15. That’s not a bad deal considering if you complete 10 two cent tasks per minute, you’d make an average of $12.00 per hour.

My experience with Mturk has been fairly positive since I joined to test it out. For 30 minutes of work I earned $6.08. That’s not bad at all! I completed a bunch of tasks that included categorizing a site’s format. It was the easiest $6.00 I had earned in awhile.

I would definitely recommend signing up with Amazon’s Mturk. It’s a great way to earn some extra money or maybe even be a part time job for stay at home parents. Just a word of warning- watch out for tasks promising to pay $20 to complete a free sign-up form. You may end up paying more than you earn in the end!

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Well, you have to start somewhere! The easiest first referral to get is going to be someone you know, especially family. He or she trusts your opinion, and therefore if you tell him something’s worth signing up for or worth buying, there’s a good chance he’ll listen to you. So, the obvious choice is to refer someone you know, right?

Wrong. If you refer someone you know, no matter what the product or service, he will think of you as the go to guy or gal when something goes wrong. If your friend feels he’s been cheated out of money or time, you’ll be the person he complains to. In fact, it can hurt your relationship. If you’re ever going to refer a friend or family member to something, do it in a passive way. Let them make the choice by sending them a link in an email. Just do it in a way that won’t make them feel obligated to do what it is you’re referring them to do.

The best first referral is someone you don’t know. How do you do this? Well, this is the complicated part. The best way to refer someone you don’t know well or at all is to post a link on your social profile. Whether you like it or not, a lot of strangers view your profile. What better way to mooch off the stalkers than to post a referral link? Plus, even the people you know will view this link and will most likely click on it because they’ll be interested in what you’re affiliated with. I mean honestly, don’t we all “FaceBook stalk” once in awhile? Wouldn’t you click on a link if it was in your friend’s profile?

How about other ways to get referrals? You’ll have to wait for the post! I’ll put the link here when the post is up.

Why is it so hard to make a measly $1.00? Well, the problem isn’t making the $1.00 so much as it is getting hold of that dollar. A lot of sites require that you have a minimum balance before you can request your money. For example, Reviewstream pays you up to $2.50 per review you write, but they have a minimum requirement of $50.00 before you can request payment. A lot of paid survey sites operate in the same way, plus you have to wait untilt he study is over. That can take weeks!

The trick is to find a site that pays you automatically or whenever you want to be paid. Luckily, I’ve come across some of those sites. Here are a couple:

1. Youdata- Once you sign up all you have to do is view a few ads and you’ll be paid through PayPal within a few days. I got paid $2.85 my first time! WARNING: You need a PayPal account to be paid from this site.
2. Associated Content- Have any old school papers? Like to write articles? Submit any writing to Associated Content and you will almost be guaranteed to be offered money. For example, I submitted an article called “Top Ten Things To Do In Connecticut” and was offered $10.18. Plus I receive payments each month for every 1,000 views the article gets. You will be payed by PayPal within a few days of submitting your article.

Those two sites should be good enough to getting you on your way to earning your first $1 online. Once you get paid your first dollar, be sure to come back and learn how to earn some real money!

Let us know how it goes please!

Don’t worry though, with my help it won’t take you a month to earn $1 online.
