Making Money Online: Surveys

Being a bit of a computer geek (not that I'm all that tech savvy!), and a stay-at-home mom, I'm always looking for opportunities to make money at home. Stretching every dollar to the max is vital to one-income families like ours. Those kids keep wanting to eat, and it's not socially acceptable (nor practical, considering Michigan weather) to send them out in public naked. So I regularly scour the net, looking for interesting money-making opportunities that don't require me to start interviewing nannies. One thing I started doing years ago, before I even had kids, is online surveys. There are so many companies out there that are willing to pay you for your time and your opinion, you just have to be resourceful and find them.

Since the net is rather flooded with these opportunities, it can be difficult to know which ones are legitimate and which ones are sincerely never going to pay you a dime. That's where SurveySpencer.com comes into play. This website offers honest reviews of survey sites by someone who actually uses them to make money. In addition to reviews of survey websites, SurveySpencer also offers readers a plethora of information related to surveys, such as how to get started and how they work. Sometimes taking online surveys is actually pretty fun, and it is usually an easy way to make money. But it does take some time to learn the ropes and figure out the best sites to join, so having a resource like this to help you out right off the bat can save you some time and effort.
