Datacoup--Sell Your Personal Data For Cash!

https://datacoup.com

yes, there now is a company that sells your data profile to prospective companies and market researchers for a set price. the site is datacoup and they believe the consumer should actually make a profit from all the information that is collected from us. the price for your data is based on how much you are willing to share--below is a graph of what categories they are currently using:

everyone has a different threshold with what they are comfortable sharing. i have linked up fb, twitter, linkedin, foursquare, google +, instagram, and my debit card. i have not linked my credit card (i haven't used it in years and quite honestly cannot remember my username and password to link it up!) 

right now my data is going for $1.16 a week although it could be higher if i linked up an active credit card.

i have no idea who is purchasing my data or why. most buyers only buy my data for one week though. i average a purchase of my data about once a month.

in the 6 months i have been a member i have not had any security issues or data breaches. payment is made by a credit to a debit card you provide.

i realize this passive money maker is not for everyone but it is free, it is completely passive and so far i have found it to be completely safe. i figure everyone is already accessing my personal info when i am online, i might as well get paid for it!

Make Money Online with University Research Departments.

many universities offer nationwide registration with their research departments. i have had success with the ones below:

studies are pretty infrequent and just adequate paying (usually amazon). the most confusing part can be figuring out which studies are ONLINE and which are IN PERSON. once i registered for an in person study unknowingly. just really take the time to read the study--the word ONLINE will be somewhere in the description.

you also may have more studies if you proactively go the available studies site rather than just waiting for email invites.

here is an example of a current online study:

best of luck!

EOVC: A New Survey Panel

*WELL, THAT WAS SHORT LIVED! RECEIVED AN EMAIL TODAY, 11/13/15,
SAYING THE PANEL WAS CLOSED.*

"The Evolution of Video Community (EOVC) Project has ended. Thank you for your participation! Please email eovc@centris.com with any questions."

http://eovcpanelfacebook.questionpro.com

discovered this new survey site recently. surveys are short and easy and the pay scale is decent. not sure where the 'video community' part fits in because so far i have only received standard survey email invites. they do not have a landing page or user interface so you need to email them for your rewards balance. their fb page seems responsive though to any questions or issues.

you can cash out by check once you hit $20.

Focus Groups Round 4

i always seem to be discovering more and more focus groups. it only takes 5 minutes to register with each one and just one focus group can easily pay over $100 so this is definitely where i have been shifting my efforts.

good luck everyone!

How I Earn $100 a Month From Swagbucks.

www.swagbucks.com

you probably have heard of swagbucks, they claim to be the #1 online rewards site in the world. for years i ignored them and thought it was a whole lot of work for little pay compared to other sites but i admit i have had a complete change of heart this past year.

swagbucks is fun, engaging, and offers something for everyone. i don't go crazy on the site but i have managed to create a steady monthly $75-$100 income (paypal, amazon and walmart gcs are my go-tos) for just about 30 minutes a day.

Sign Up With General Mills Advisory Panel!

http://www.millsadvisorypanel.com

did you know General Mills has their own survey panel? it is open to US residents ages 18 or over.

it is a panel you won't hear much from but it is always a nice surprise when you do. lots of potential for online focus groups and webcam discussions that pay $75 on average. rewards are paid in amazon codes.

honestly i only hear from them about 4x a year and do not qualify for most of the nice paying projects.

maybe you will have better luck than me!

Say YES to Yaarlo and Earn Easy Cash for your Receipts.

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/yaarlo/

ENTER MY CODE FOR A BONUS: BRIDGETB953

Say 'Yes' to Yaarlo, the newest mobile shopping rebate app. super easy to use, just snap a pic of any restaurant, grocery store, retail store, personal services or entertainment receipt--even online ones! Yaarlo does not have the ability to take multi pics of a receipt though so make sure you stand back and get the whole receipt in a single shot! so far i have had only one refused but it was super long and i guess unreadable in a single shot. available in the app store and soon to google play!

ProductTube--Get Paid For Making Videos.

http://producttube.com/signup

well since EXPOtv bit the dust i have been looking for similar alternatives. heard some buzz about this site, ProductTube.

seems that you go to the site and apply for any existing projects. the projects i have seen so far seem to be 'in clusters' and quite generic so it would be easy to buy things you already use and then just do a quick video review of them. here is an example of a current open project:

Sticky Crowd Eye Tracking Surveys

https://sticky.ai/crowd/

i have stumbled across these surveys through other panels but just discovered you can sign up directly with them. so far i have taken 2 surveys and each took under 5 minutes and each paid $1.

you will need a webcam obviously to participate.

https://sticky.ai/crowd/

you can choose amazon or paypal when you reach $12.50 although for paypal they do take out a processing fee. also ensure you choose 6x a month for survey frequency (that is the highest available). 

definitely worth the sign up! https://sticky.ai/crowd/

OnePoll is One Great Paying Site!

sign up link:

http://www.onepoll.com/sign-up/

this site offers one of the best wages per hour for survey sites.  every survey pays 50 cents and averages 3 minutes--that calculates to $10 per hour. definitely worth the sign up folks!

OnePoll is a UK based survey company that i discovered in the past year. what i love about them is the surveys are ALWAYS very short and sweet (nothing over 5 minutes here!) and they always seem to pay 50 cents, which is actually pretty good for the time invested.
