Hello everyone! Let me start this off with a little introduction about me and what my purpose is here.
I have worked in the computer industry for many years in a highly technical position. With my job “being in computers,” my family and friends instantly assume that I am the source of all computer knowledge. I am sure that if you have been deemed to have some computer skills, you get the same treatment from your friends and families also. Along with those usual questions of “Why is my computer doing this?” and “How do I make it do that?”, I get the hardest to answer question of all: “How do I make money online?” When asked that one, I usually ramble a little while about things like internet marketing, affiliate programs and sometimes Google Adsense. Of course, I do not have the real answer to this question because I am still working a 9 to 5 (just like the people asking me the question). So with the constant “How do you make money online?” questions and my own curiosity about some of the money making options, I have decided to personally test out, document, and share every aspect about one of the “hot topics” available online for the average person (aka non-technical, non-marketer) to make money online.
If you have spent a few weeks online, the odds are you have seen or might have even visited one of the Paid Survey sites. It just seems too good to be true to me; however, there must be some truth behind the sites or their numbers would not continue to grow. So here we go, I am going to personally join, participate and hopefully profit from every paid survey site I can find. I am going to share EVERY interaction, maybe not the actual text but the gist of every correspondence and the amount of every check I receive with you and anyone else interested. I will keep ongoing detailed stats about each service along with a recommendation for or a recommendation against.
I am not here to market anything (because honestly, I am horrible at marketing), sell you anything or try to convince you of anything. I am personally testing these services for my own benefit: the proported money! However, there is no point that I can’t share my experience with you so as a group, we can collectively decide if the services are real or just a bunch of marketing hype. If I start making money, I will instantly start referring my friends and family to do these services also, because they are one of the driving forces behind this. So in a few weeks when one of my family members ask me “How do I make money online?”, I will be able to say well I have made about $X00 bucks from “this company” filling out surveys and it has only taken me X number of hours. Try it out!” I hope that you have experience with these services or if you read this encounters that you would leave me some comments and feedback.
