Dollar Surveys is honestly one of my favorites when it comes down to surveys online.  They have a very cool concept, and their reputation is top notch.  When you generally sign up for a survey company, you will soon find out that you generally have to wait for a payment threshold.  For example, one company may only allow to cash out at $25, while others make it $10.

With DollarSurveys, you can earn $1 a survey, and it’s sent straight to your Paypal account.  All you will have to do is take a survey just like any other survey out there.  As long as you qualify, you can take a ton of them each, and every day.

Many people are concerned with the program, because they have found that the surveys come in sporadically.   Some people claim they can get 10 in a week, while others only get 1.  Again, this is going to depend on your profile.  Another thing that I looked into were the payments.  What I have noticed is that the payments come here, and there, and are not always on time.  Regardless of this issue, people have always been paid for it.

If you’re looking for some side fun, and you want to make a few extra dollars, it doesn’t look like you’re going to get rich, but you will make about $10-$15 a month.  With everything I looked into, they’ve been around for a few years now, and seem very trustworthy.  With all of that said, I’m going to give them a B+.

Global Test Market (GTM) is a unique online community that’s going to offer you a chance to complete surveys for money.  You can join today, and receive a paid survey invitation as early as today.

With GTM, you’re going to want to make sure you fill out your profile at 100%.  What this is going to do is enable you to be eligible for more surveys.  What you’re going to find out is that if your profile isn’t complete, you’re not going to get the surveys that you think you’re going to receive.  Survey companies want a certain demographic, and if you don’t fit it, you won’t get the surveys.

GTM works on a points based system.  For ever 100 points that you get, you’re going to get a $50 check.  Based on some studies online, it looks like many people take about 6 weeks+ to receive $50.  This is fairly normal, when it comes down to getting paid each month.  I wouldn’t expect no more than $50 a month per survey company.  If you think about it though, you will find that you can get $500 a month, just by joining 10 companies alone.

On average, depending on your profile, you’re going to get about 4-6 surveys a month.  Again, depending on your profile, you can receive more if you qualify.  But based on some studies online, people have found that some surveys are relatively slow, and others don’t pay enough for the work that you have to accomplish.

Some of the downfalls are that some surveys ask too many questions, and then continue to disqualify you, making it fairly frustrating.  On top o fit, other consumers have reported that it takes a while to receive the $50 payout level.

On the other hand, the fair majority like the company.  They find many surveys to be enjoyable, and as long as you can reach the quota before other people join the survey, many people don’t have a problem at all.  On top of that, they also tend to have great customer service.

Based on all of this, compared to others, we’re going to give GTM an A-.

A lot of people have done searches on Survey Head, and I can understand why many people think that this company is scam.  First off, I want to let you all know that this company is not a scam, and yes, they really do pay.  All you need to do is search out the Internet and find out who’s getting paid, and who’s not.

As of February 3, 2010, you can sign up with Survey Head, and make $5 just for signing up.  This is by far one of the best sign up bonuses.  Another site that compares with this one would be Inbox Dollars.

Survey Head is a BBB accredited business, and as of today, they have a B rating.  It isn’t as good as an A, but shouldn’t make you worry about anything.  According to the report, it looks as if they have a few compliance issues dealing with contract issues, as well as making out a full refund.

The surveys on here seem to range anywhere from $1  – $5.  A report has stated that many users don’t get as many surveys compared to most other places.  This could be different based on your experience though.  You will want to make sure that you fill out your profile, so that the appropriate companies can contact you for survey reasons.

You have to reach a $10 minimum to cash out, which seems to be the standard in the survey industry.  If you read the reviews online, you will get mixed reviews, but from my own personal experience, I can’t say anything bad about them.

The only downfall that I can capture is that the surveys just aren’t there, but again, it will all depend on you.  Based on this fact, we’re going to give this company a B+ as a grade, and we highly recommend you at least try to sign up.  It’s 100% free, and remember, you’ll get a $5 bonus just for signing up!

Survey Savvy is one of the Internet’s leading research companies.  Here, you’re going to find a ton of surveys, as well as great incentives to send referrals their way, so that you can earn even more.

Here’s what happens when you sign up for an account…

You’re going to have to fill out a profile, and what they do is have a “coffee cup” to show that each task that you’re going to do is going to take 5 minutes.  What you’ll want to do is fill out the profile as much as possible.  By doing so, this is going to allow you to get more surveys in your inbox.

The cool thing about Survey Savvy is that when you don’t qualify, it doesn’t matter.  They are going to send you into a raffle each time you can’t qualify for a survey.  Sure, you might be in with a 100 others, but they have some pretty cool prizes.

How many surveys do you get from them?

With my particular account, I’ve been getting anywhere from 5-10 surveys a month.  I probably qualify for over 80% of them, and each one averages about $3 a survey, making it a grand total of $25 a month.  I could obviously work a lot harder at it, especially with referrals.

If you start referring people, you can make a killing with it!

Survey Savvy is an accredited business with the Better Business Bureau.  As of 2/1/10, they have an A rating, which is very good according to BBB standards.

Survey Savvy does have a lot of surveys to offer, and on top of that they have some of the best incentives on the market.

From what I’ve seen with the company, I would give them an A in terms of customer service, the survey selection, as well as what other people have to say about them on the Internet.

A lot of us have the dream of working from home, and a lot of us have the dream of making money from our hobbies.  Although, what people don’t realize is that you can make both of those happen at the same time.  For instance, we’re going to talk about gardening.  If you like to garden why not make money from doing it?  Not sure how you can?  Continue reading below.

How to Make Money by Gardening:

Corner stand:  First of all, you’re going to want to open up a little stand on the side of the road (at your home.)  You see this very common in the country areas.  Open up a stand with all the things that people would be willing to buy from your garden.

Produce:  Start with a ton of fresh produce.  Sell everything from watermelons to strawberries to beans and cucumbers.  People like a fresh place and find it more sanitary to buy it from a place like that than at a grocery store. 

Flowers:  People also like to buy flowers.  Whether they’re for their counter at home, for a friend, or to brighten someone else’s day.  Grow flowers and put together pretty bouquets.  There are several flowers out there to choose from like roses, tulips, daisies, etc.  These can be bought for cheap and sold for a profit!

Seasonal:  You can also sell seasonal things like apples in the fall, pumpkins, gourds, etc.  People like decorations, present ideas, and the whole fresh idea buying from a mom and pop place.

If you like gardening, have a good size yard and you’re interested in making some extra money, then be sure to make money by gardening.  This is a good way to pass time, a good hobby, and is something you can really make a lot of money with if you have the right customers!
