Datatelligence Online

datatelligence is one of the larger survey site companies. i don't seem to score a lot of surveys from them but they do offer a good amount of product tests which always sweetens the pot.
survey incentives are average and they reward with amazon gift codes--1000 pts. equals $10 amazon. payout codes are emailed quickly as well, 72 hrs. tops. in addition, they will occasionally offer extra incentives on top of the points in the form of barnes and noble e-giftcard codes.

Purex Crystals ScentSplash Giveaway! Ends 4/7/15

*GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED*

Purex just keeps cranking out the newness this Spring! Today I am introducing New Purex Crystals ScentSplash in Lavender Blossom.

If this looks a bit familiar that's because it is--Purex introduced their Crystals last year that come in the solid crystal form. This product is Liquid Form. Simply add a little or a lot directly into your washer to infuse your clothes with a burst of freshness. 

OnePoll Review

OnePoll is a UK based survey company that i discovered in the past year. what i love about them is the surveys are ALWAYS 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.

Dial Sugar Cane Hand Soap Review and Giveaway! Ends 3/30/15

*GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED!*

Time to review a New Dial Product and host a New Giveaway!

Dial's newest member of its hand soap family is Sugar Cane and it is part of their Boutique Collection. These soaps are not antibacterial. What they do offer are:

*Vibrant Scents

*Moisture

*Gentle micro-scrubbers

This soap truly does it all! It cleans like a deep cleansing soap, hydrates like a moisturizing soap and exfoliates like a scrubbing soap--all in one counter worthy bottle.

Fitdesk Review

what a great invention! being a survey taker and blogger, i am on my laptop A LOT. and that means i am sitting, docile, not burning any calories for A LOT of my day. i would go through waves of being motivated to exercise but i never stuck with it for long and truth be told, as soon as i heard my email alert notification go off, i would stop and run to see if it was anything important. let's just say i wasn't going to get in any shape with my current methods.

Be A Tester For Electronic Products!

*I BELIEVE MOST OF THESE LINKS ARE NOW DISABLED. EITHER THE PROGRAM HAS BEEN DISABLED OR THE STRICTER AMAZON RULES FOLDED THE INITIATIVE.

if you like testing out phone cases and screen protectors, USB ports and chargers or bluetooth speakers (just to name a few) then definitely register at these 3 sites.

they ship you the product for free (or in some cases they give you an amazon code where you just pay $1). the product is yours to keep and all they want in return is an honest review, usually on amazon but sometimes also on newegg, rakuten or their own webpage.

UMatter Online Opinion Panel Review

THIS SITE HAS CLOSED!

this is a site i just discovered in the past year. surveys are infrequent, maybe 2 a month, but you always qualify and they are super easy and quick. surveys typically are worth 500-1500 pts. and once you hit 10,000 pts. you are automatically awarded a $10 amazon e-giftcard. there is no having to manually go to the site to redeem your points--umatter does it for you and and they do it quickly! another nice touch is that they always send you a confirmation email when a survey is completed--no worries that something went amiss and points failed to credit.

they even have a chart that outlines the points in relation to the survey length!

i have not received any product tests or special projects but i do enjoy the site very much--points are awarded instantly and i have never had any technical issues.

here's the link to sign up!

New Dial Miracle Oil Review And Giveaway! Ends 3/11

*GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED*

Dial has created another winner! New Dial Miracle Oil Body Wash is quite captivating. Other than just smelling amazing, its added benefit is Marula Oil, which is known to deeply hydrate and moisturize skin. In addition, Dial's Micro Oil Technology ensures it still rinses clean so skin is soft and hydrated but never greasy. The scent is light but smells organic and a bit like shea butter--definitely gender neutral.

Weight Watchers Cereal Has Arrived!

Weight Watchers has introduced its own line of cereals--5 varieties--and they are de-lish. Real fruit, whole grains and only 3-5 PointsPlus value per serving. That adds up to a smart breakfast decision! Now to be honest, I don't do the whole points thing and never have--I just like the taste and nutrition Weight Watchers had created. So much so I even grab a handful at night for a quick snack and eat them straight up!

Product Report Card Review

this is a strange little survey company. their platform is unusual since it not only is a survey panel but also a review and product comparison site. i ignore everything but the straight up surveys and have done pretty well with them.

More Focus Groups!

i probably belong to 50 focus group databases---the more the merrier and the better your odds of scoring a high paying project, right? here are four online focus group panels that you definitely should sign up with. i honestly don't hear a lot from any of them, maybe a screener or two every couple months, so they are not very time consuming at all once you fill out their initial profile registration.

good luck!

FreeEats.com Review--Don't Miss This Money Maker!

https://www.freeeats.com/

this site seems a bit too good to be true. answer surveys on your phone and get paid pretty instantly via paypal. i just joined a month ago and have already completed 3 surveys. you have to ACT FAST though. you will get a text message saying something like 'NEW SURVEY! $10 for 1st 25 responses. Next 1000 responses will earn $1'. now i have JUMPED on all 3 of the ones i received and still haven't made it within the quickest repliers to earn the top tier incentive. i have received the $1 incentive each time. it seems a bit counterproductive to me since people obviously will rush through the survey to try to score that top tier--but that is their set up.

even stranger is that they seem to give me .25 cents paypal each time they just text me about a survey, before i even accept it so i have really earned $1.25 for each one.

Communispace and other Online Communities

getting into a communispace is always a good thing! they pay for your participation every month either in amazon or paypal provided you meet the minimum monthly participation requirements. they can last any amount of time--i have belonged to some that lasted only a few months and others for well over a year. most offer many extra projects that will earn you an additional incentive. they do only allow you to be part of one communispace at any given time though. you cannot just sign up for these--you have to be invited and pass the screener. i have received screeners from many different survey sites: I-say, my soapbox, and opinion outpost are top recruiting sites.

AIP Online Surveys

this survey site is based out of tokyo, japan but is open to any resident of the US who is 16 yrs. of age or older.

you can expect a survey about once a month and they pay in either best buy gift cards or paypal--with the threshold to cash out only $5. payment does take awhile--expect to wait 2-3 months!

Purex PowerShot Giveaway!

*GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED*

Well Purex has done it again! As a Purex Insider I received a full size sample to review as well as 3 coupons for a FREE full size bottle to give away to my readers! Yippee.

What makes this product unique is that it is a liquid form laundry detergent that does not require any measuring---that's right--liquid (not pod or pac) that still eliminates the need to measure out the dose.

FLIP. DOSE. DONE.

I am a big fan of the pods because of their convenience but they usually cost more money so I am quite excited about this new product from Purex.

Nieto Research

want free diapers? then sign up for Nieto Research! they are a research company based out of atlanta that product tests diapers and feminine products.

TV Focus Group

this site is a gem. i don't even know how i found it but i already did one super easy survey involving watching 4 short 'as seen on tv' product ideas and giving my opinion on each (20 minutes max) and i earned a $25 amazon gift card! and they paid it quickly!

now i may not see another survey for awhile but you can't beat those rewards.

here is their link to join and good luck!

the-Collaboratory Market Research

this site pays extremely well but projects are few and far between. most of their projects involve food and food preparation and involve multi-day interactive boards, where you log in at your leisure and respond to a series of questions.

you can expect a screener about once every month or so, which can be lengthy and involve open ended questions. i probably have answered 30 screeners but have only been accepted into 2 studies. even so, i jump on every opportunity since the studies are fun and interesting and pay very well.
