Make Money Online with University Research Departments.

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

https://stanford.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0AjlTv4XONw29Ct

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!

Voice of Today's Consumer Panel--Accepting New Members!

THIS SITE HAS CLOSED!

 https://www.voiceoftodaysconsumer.com/join-now-2

here is a small community survey site that anyone in the US, age 18 or over, can apply to join. short and easy surveys are sent about 1-2x a month, most of them dealing with insurance or finances. 

you can redeem for tango cards at the $10 and $20 level. tango does not offer paypal but they do offer just about every gc under the sun, including amazon.

the community also gives out points for responding to a discussion thread or even answering a quick poll. i have been a member for 5 months and have earned $17 with minimal effort.

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.

here is the link to join:

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.

Enroll. Give Websites Feedback and Get Paid.

http://www.enrollapp.com

just discovered this one. super easy so far too. you give your feedback on a website's usability and get paid. easy stuff too, like if a logo fits or the content makes sense. basically you just sign up and take a quick test (which you GET PAID FOR) and then sit back and wait for work. welcome to Enroll.

so far i have just taken the initial test and one real test but they were super easy. along the lines of 'if you clicked on the first link what would you expect to find?' or 'why do you think some dots are red and others black?'

the total test took under 5 minutes and i was instantly awarded .60 cents! i still don't really know how i earned the bonuses but i am thrilled to take them!

i hope to hear a lot more from enroll. you should definitely check them out too!

5 Things I Learned about Taking Surveys and Working Online

well i have been earning my income online for over 2 yrs now and so much of my approach has changed since i started. currently i am consistently earning $1200 a month and i really feel i am working smarter than ever. today i will share some of what i have learned along the way. pardon the lower cases---it has always been my habit since i became an e.e. cummings fan over 30 yrs ago!

Join The Newest Cashback Site, Yuno!

UPDATE! SO FAR THIS ONE HAS BEEN A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. I DON'T RECOMMEND.

http://yuno.co/?

we have a new contender to soon join the net for rewarding you with cash back for shopping online---introducing Yuno.

right now they are gathering members prior to launch and to reward those getting in on the ground floor you will earn $3 paypal if you are one of the first 5000 sign ups. right now they are at 4800 so don't delay!

what is yuno? well i am guessing it will be similar to fatwallet and ebates but have more of an emphasis on rewarding those that share their purchases on social media. here is their description:

even if you miss the cut off the next level of 30,000 sign ups will each earn $4!
i can't say much else about the site since it is in it's infancy but i am taking a chance--really, what do we have to lose?

200 spots left to earn $3 paypal for just signing up!  http://yuno.co/?

Paribus--The Site That Does The Price Matching For You!

Get money back when prices drop, effortlessly!

https://paribus.co/i/epbK4s

https://paribus.co/i/epbK4s

i am continually amazed at how much is out there to save you money. introducing the newest player, Paribus. link up your email address and debit/credit card to the site and they automatically keep a running total of all your online purchases and then monitor them to see if any prices drop. if any do they get you back the difference crediting you 75% of the savings and keeping 25% as payment for their efforts. easy peasy, right?

9 Grocery Apps Everyone Should Be Using

i swear i keep discovering a new grocery app every couple months! right now i am up to 9--yep it takes a few minutes to ensure i do all my scanning, checking in, and pic taking at the end of a shopping trip but every little bit adds up and when you are using 9 apps--it can add up quite quickly!

Snap by Groupon: not a big earner, items seem a bit random and uncommon. still worth a look though, especially if you buy magazines.

Ibotta: i am late to this party and i know i only scratch the surface of its earnings potential. many places to earn outside grocery stores like pet stores and even online sites. if you use my referral code, ezl4q, you will earn a bonus $1! there is a lot going on here--i keep it simple but i know i am only scratching the surface of this app's earning potential.

How I Make InboxDollars Work For Me.

http://www.inboxdollars.com

i really am not a fan of gpt (get paid to) sites where legitimate surveys and free 30 day trial offers (that require a credit card) all get muddled together.

my one exception is inboxdollars. now i don't do ANY of the trial offers or endless path pseudo-surveys that require a phone number so they can spam you to death. i only do 4 things on the site:

1. click on all reward mail 
-at 2 cents per click these add up quickly and take only seconds.

Cool Work Ideas--Your Next Go-to Site.

http://coolworkideas.com

this is a blog that i check out multiple times DAILY. and if you are serious about maximizing your online earning potential you should immediately subscribe too!

paul, who runs the site, is a great guy and tells it like it is--the good, the bad and the 'completely not worth your time'. he is always digging around and discovering new focus groups and survey companies--and never hesitates to share his finds.

moreover, he actually started a forum on the site that is more community based (think slickdeals or reddit without the egos or intimidation) where people can post their finds, ask questions or list current focus group screeners. the vibe is so inviting, approachable and merciful! i have found and qualified for  several studies just from the Cool Work Ideas Forum. definitely worth the bookmark to check for nationwide studies daily.

check it out and may the focus group be with you!

Directive Analytics Online Panel

i have been a member here for not very long. surveys are emailed and are pretty infrequent but occasionally you can score a multi-day diary and those pay at least $20.

sign up here! https://s.zoomerang.com/Survey/

redemption is a bit archaic--you have to send them an email to request a check and then wait 6-8 wks.--but at least it's straight up cash! there also doesn't seem to be a minimum to request out.

you won't hear much from them but i think they are still worth the registration.

Photogramy: Sell Your Instagram Pics For Cash!

www.photos.photogramy.com/

just when i think i have capitalized on every which way to earn on the web something new emerges. introducing Photogramy---sell your instagram pics as stock photos and earn cash. it seems this site is just getting off the ground so i really don't know too much about it yet but here is what i know now--

you know the drill--even though it is a pain, register for every single online focus group you can find!  the truth is many will apply, few will score the project. you just need to get inside all of their databases so the odds are in your favor of finding the studies that you are the perfect fit for.  if you haven't already, check out my other postings of solid research panels to join! good luck to all!
