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!

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--

YouSay! Survey Review

*ALERT! I BELIEVE THIS COMPANY UP AND FOLDED. I WAS UP FOR A PAYOUT TOO. *

https://www.yousayonline.com/survey/html

here is yet another newer survey site to join. while nothing truly differentiates yousay! from all the others, this site does give you 100 pts. for every disqualification which is most definitely on the high side. plus you instantly get a $5 sign up bonus which is already 1/3 of your redemption threshold! they also offer an app for apple and android to take surveys on the go.

when you hit 15,000 pts. you can redeem for a $15 paypal deposit. payment is pretty quick too. here is the link to join:

Join the Purell Loyalty Program and Earn Gift Cards!

UPDATE! AS OF 4/1/16 THEY HAVE DISCONTINUED THIS PURELL LOYALTY PROGRAM. THE NEW PROGRAM DOES NOT SEEM TO INVOLVE EARNING GIFT CARDS :( AND I PERSONALLY AM GOING TO STOP USING THE SITE.

http://www.purell.com/loyalty

i am very late to this party but i just started it and really find it an easy way to earn rewards. i bookmark the site and every morning i quickly hit all the point earning links on the front page and then hit 'earn more' at the top of the page and complete those on the second page. takes 2 minutes and earns me 500 pts. daily. they do cap you out at 5,000 pts a month so you only have to visit the site 10 days out of the month to earn maximum pts.  25,000 pts. earns you a $10 gift card so not the greatest but it's something. there are also purell products for lesser point amounts. i have only been doing this for a couple weeks but i think i will stick with it for now and really enjoy that gift card once earned!

Brand Institute Review

https://www.brandinstitute.com/memberservices/

i have been a member of brand institute for a few years now. they are truly geared towards individuals in the medical field, but even so, i get invites from them at least monthly. since i have zero medical background the majority of my surveys involve naming a new pharmaceutical and the pay always ranges between $2 and $8. sometimes the surveys can drag and all the proposed names can start to sound the same. they pay paypal and you know quickly if you are disqualified so you never feel you wasted your time with them.

i am sure anyone in the healthcare/medical field could really clean up on this site. they also offer a VIP status (which i am) that offers additional perks like being notified first of survey opportunities, being able to refer friends and being able to go directly to the site to view any open surveys. the process of becoming a VIP involves completing a questionnaire and emailing them a copy of your drivers license/ID (which i found unusual but still complied).

paypal payment does take several weeks-- so much so, you forgot you even took the survey and it's a nice surprise! definitely a departure from traditional survey sites and worth the registration. many countries outside the USA are also accepted.

The Easiest and Best Cure for Hiccups

HICCUPS

on a completely unrelated subject, i truly have found THE CURE for hiccups and it couldn't be easier.

Team Noesis--Be a 'Noe It All'

*IT APPEARS THEY MAY HAVE CLOSED UP SHOP :( . 

UNABLE TO ACCESS THEIR SITES AS OF 8/1/15. *

i have no idea how i found this site but i have done 2 'shopping missions' for them and have earned an easy $40 amazon gift card each time. i just love the name: a Team Noesis Noe it all!

both projects involved a short initial online screener and then a few weeks later i was notified i was accepted. i had to go to target or walmart, locate specific toys and take a few photos. once home i just needed to upload the photos and answer some questions---easy-peasy! 

register now! (and i would be forever grateful if you included my email as your referrer-bridgetberliner-4@yahoo.com--that way both of us are entered for a prize!)

LINK TO JOIN: https://jjfriendsandneighbors.com/registration

join this family friendly research panel from Johnson & Johnson Company. i don't seem to have very much activity on this panel but recently i was given a product to test (and keep) and to make that deal even sweeter they also threw in $10 for my participation!

i especially think households with infants would get many opportunities to test their products. sign up is simple and then you can just wait for emails!

good luck!

1Q: The 1 Question App that Pays

https://1q.com/register

have you tried 1Q yet? if not, sign up now! they simply ask 1 single question and then you get paid instantly via paypal once you answer. you have to act quick--most questions expire in 5 minutes. questions pay 50 cents but you do have option to 'reduce your fee' to 25 cents per question which apparently makes you more attractive to companies and increases your chances of being given questions over others.

the action on this site seems to come in waves. some months i hear nothing and others i may get 3 questions. it's not a lot by any means but these questions are truly just a single 'yes or no' answer so it doesn't get more effortless than that. it also is available to countries outside the US---just attempt to register to see if yours is one of them.

Register with Iowa Opinion Panel--Open Nationwide.

http://iowaopinionpanel.community.surveyanalytics.com/

this is a little site i discovered in the past few months. although they primarily cater to iowa residents, the panel is open nationwide to anyone age 18 and over.

they do reward you with some points even if you disqualify from a survey and they pay out incentives with amazon gift codes. 1000 pts. equals a $20 amazon gift card so they are really paying double what many panels pay! surveys pay out anywhere from 25 to 250 pts. each so it accumulates rather quickly. i don't get too much action from them but if you live in iowa you probably would have many more opportunities.

here is the link to register: http://iowaopinionpanel.community.surveyanalytics.com/

BuzzBack Survey Panel Review

okay, a year ago i would never imagine i would be recommending this site but lately it has really turned around for me.

granted, i still delete the majority of survey email offers since they are usually only $1 or $2 for a 20 minutes survey but in the last couple months i actually have been offered AND COMPLETED 3 surveys at $10 a pop for 20 minutes of time and one product test that paid $50! suddenly i am excited to see a buzzback email hit my inbox!

if you haven't signed up yet or stopped using them long ago, consider giving them a chance today.

they have many rewards, including amazon and paypal, but do take 6-8 wks before paying up.

Field Agent Review

https://itunes.apple.com/US/app/field-agent/

although i have reviewed this app before, it was awhile ago and i think it's time to talk it up again. this is one of my favorite mobile money makers.

upon initial inspection, the site seems to basically be audits at specific locations, i.e.. take a photo of the 'as seen on tv' display at walgreens.

NEW Renuzit Pearl Scents Review and Giveaway!

*GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED*

Beautiful Air by Design

Living with 2 cats and 2 boys, I am always looking for easy ways to fragrance my home. Well, Renuzit has just introduced their newest home fragrance product, Pearl Scents. I believe they did offer a similar product in the past which I never tried. I can tell you that this line is FABULOUS. I received the Blue Sky Breeze to sample and was impressed at how noticeable the scent was. I am always using various methods to fragrance my home and the Pearl Scents are very effective and very easy to use---no flames, no oils, no outlets needed!

Even More Focus Groups!

like i have said before--scoring focus groups is where the money is at. consequently, many many people are vying for a handful of slots. register for every focus group you can find to increase your odds. yes, it is a pain to fill out that initial profile but once it's done you are in their database and ready to get screeners!

GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!

Up-Survey.com $30 Sign Up Bonus or SCAM?

UPDATE!

did more digging and definitely do not feel good about this one. i looked up the domain 
on scamadvisor.com and it received a trust score of '0' (the lowest score possible), is based out of the ukraine, is only 2 months old and the owner of the site is using a service to hide their identity---all huge red flags. i would stay far away!!

http://up-survey.com/?

i just discovered this site. i couldn't believe a legit survey company would be offering $30 just to sign up so i immediately signed up of course and decided to check it out.

Bing Rewards

https://www.bing.com/explore/rewards

UPDATE! sadly i have been banned from bing rewards. they detected i was using bot software. so i will say if you chose to use a bot please proceed with caution and know you many likely get banned as well. rewards are very slow without using a bot though :(

oh, how i wish i had jumped on the bing rewards train sooner! i just started 2 weeks ago and already cashed in for a $5 amazon! it's really super easy to rack up the points. bing actually pays you in points for searches! every single day. you can earn 15 pts daily for computer searches, 10 pts daily for mobile searches and then they always throw in a bonus search or two to make it fun. typically every 2 searches equals 1 pt. i immediately found this way too time consuming so i did some digging and found there are bots out there designed to do all the searching for you and they are free! i am sure it would be easy for bing to shut this practice down but i guess numbers are numbers and that is what bing is going for to irritate rival google. every morning i log in and click on the bonus search and then i use this bot site that automatically does all my searches for me! check it out here: http://www.pogocheats.net/bing-rewards-bot/

RewardSurvey--Get Free Magazines!

https://rewardsurvey.com/Partner

i don't know how i didn't know about this site! answer surveys that take no longer than 5 minutes and instantly be rewarded with a magazine credit. so far i have taken 4 surveys and earned $60 in magazine rewards!!! keep in mind the $60 took about only about 15 minutes of my time TOTAL. 

Insights Focus---Another Excellent Newbie!

https://vv170.infusionsoft.com/app/page/newsignupform

don't freak out if you are unable to take the 5 minute survey after registering. it wasn't working for me and i didn't think i was fully registered but sure enough i received my first survey a few days later.

their site talks a lot about focus groups and in person tasting tests. personally, i have not been invited to any of these but i have been emailed a few high paying online surveys that definitely were worth my time. payment was almost instantaneous--through paypal.

Good Luck!

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.

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!
