This was a very fast and easy survey. It took about 3 minutes and only asked questions about how I had heard about NFO MySurvey (Go to: NFO MySurvey) and why did I join. I received 10 points for this, but I am still unsure of what that is really worth. I will do some reading and let you know.
I did return back to the survey page only to find out that there are no more surveys for me at this time. I am starting to get the feeling that there is a lot of waiting around for these paying surveys. I really wanted to make money from home, but it looks like there really isn’t any easy, fast money today. I am going to keep waiting and joining.
It appears to be more free-to-join paid survey services than pay-to-join survey services (thank goodness). So I looked through my every growing list of survey services to join and I decide to join NPD Research (Go to: NPD Research). When I got to their site, the form was very short. However, don’t be fooled like I was. That first short form is the opener to a number of other pages (about 10-12, depending on your answers). The forms gathered the usual information that these online survey services want to know (age, education, career, etc). There really wasn’t anything special about the sign up process.
Note:NPD Research (Go to: NPD Research) is a paid survey services that appears to ONLY enter you into cash drawings. I will double check this but I am pretty certain. A good chance at winning money is still better than doing nothing.
I have not received the expected instantly delivered “Welcome” email. I am still a little disheartened about ONLY getting entered into special sweepstakes they hold. However, I have been reading and the word on the net is to enter these type sweepstakes because your odds are a lot better than you might think.
Nothing special so far, but I will update you soon.
I have decided to join another free-to-join paid survey service: NFO MySurvey (Go to: NFO MySurvey). This one comes recommended by Kimberly over at Mom’s Break, a great site for 100s of free printables (iron-on transfer, cards and more). We have chatted several times and she states that she personally uses this service. I trust her opinion so I joined today.
Note: NFO MySurvey is a points based paid survey service. This basically means that you receive points, instead of cash or prizes, for participating in surveys. You can then redeem your points for rewards or convert them to cash (NOT a 1 to 1 ratio). I browsed through the reward prizes and the selection looks great! Plasma TV, golf clubs, electronics and tons more. Can’t wait to try this out!
The registration form was the longest I have ran into so far on one page (remember this is only my 3rd registration). It asked a lot of questions about education, income, career, household and more. I assume this is the information used to match or qualify me to surveys. Even with all the questions, it only took 2-3 minutes to complete.
As with the rest, the “Welcome” email followed instantly. This email was different than the rest. I had a confirmation link that required me to click to confirm my membership. I am not sure the purpose behind this but I like the added sense of security. Upon confirmation I was asked to login to the Member’s Area. After doing just that, it prompted me with another short form. This form was targeted to get additional information about the other person that lives with me. Just so you know, I told them that 1 other person lived in my household during registration and you can only assume that if you had said 4 or 5 then there would had been one form for each additional person.
Once the form was completed, I was presented my first survey. I was a 10 point instant survey, but it is at least something to make me get involved in the service. I will fill out this survey in a little while.
