Dive Into Paid Surveys This Summer


With just a week or so until school is out for the summer, mothers everywhere will be adjusting their schedules to accommodate having children at home all day. From swimming in family errands to swimming at the neighborhood pool and running on full-steam to just running up to the park, the daily summer schedule can be quite different from the normal school-year routine. While summer break is a welcomed event for most, it can leave financially strapped parents in a bind for balancing earning potential with play.
For families where both parents work outside the home or families where one parent stays home, taking surveys online can be a legitimate way to earn extra cash to supplement the family income. Summer camps, vacations, increased childcare costs and incidental expenses incurred throughout the months of June, July and August can be paid for, in part, by the proceeds from cash surveys taken at home during free time.
Future survey takers can hunt down paid survey opportunities on their own, but it is much more efficient to join a free online survey site that catalogue hundreds and hundreds of survey, focus group and other marketing research opportunities that pay in cash or rewards. Pick out the survey sites that appeal to your interests the most and apply for membership with each; typically, all that is required to join is your basic contact information and interests.
After registering with a handful of survey sites, start checking your email inbox within a few days. This is where you will start to receive invitations to participate in paid surveys, focus groups or other marketing projects. Compensation to take surveys varies based on the company and the project at hand. Usually, members are reimbursed in cash, reward points to redeem for prizes, entries into sweepstakes or some combination of the three.
No need to feel cooped up in the house during summer break with only your paid online surveys and kids climbing the walls. Take your laptop or smartphone to the pool, park or indoor playground, connect to Wi-fi and continue to take surveys and earn rewards. By the time summer ends, you'll have saved up a nice nest egg to spend on back-to-school supplies, tuition, or whatever you please!
