Earning Money From Survey Companies !

With the New Year here I thought I would do a quick post for those of you are interested in learning how to earn extra money from home from survey companies. This is a great way to earn extra cash to get your debt repayment kicked up a notch.  You can also earn gift cards for dinner out with the family.  As a matter of fact one of my New Year's resolutions is to only go out to eat with gift cards earned through survey companies.  That way my huge goal of paying off a large chunk of our mortgage this year will get the added boost  when I put our "dinner out" money on the mortgage each month. There are several companies out there and I will tell you about the ones that I personally use and have earned money or gift cards from.

I always recommend setting up a second email address (it's quick and free) for surveys and/or sample offers. That way you don't mix work opportunities with your personal mail.
Survey companies do require a lot of demographic information when you register in order to qualify you for specific surveys. Those demographics are time consuming, but worth it in the end.

Here is the list of my favorite companies:

My Survey ~ I love earning free gift cards for dinner out with the family:) Very easy to work with. They don't send you any junk mail.  You qualify for EVERY survey they send you.

Ispos I-Say  
You will earn points for surveys and once you’ve earned 50 (or more) points, you can redeem them for a check or American Express Encompass gift cards.

Valued Opinions  You get $1 to $5 for surveys and up to $50 for specialist surveys.

Survey Head You get $5 just for signing up and can cash out at $25.

Survey Savvy 
Surveys range in pay but you only need $1 to request a check from them!!! You also make a % of your referrals survey income and a % of your referral's referrals income.

Toluna  Great company. Easy to work with!

Inbox Dollars You earn money by reading emails and playing games online.   They send a lot of opportunities so I'd use your separate email address :)
