   Ok guys … survey success update:

   I am now an active panelist to several survey sites. I began by joining Eddy’s top 5 and gradually added others along the way.

   I have been, and am still getting PAID … and I love it! I very recently received a total of $110 from Lightspeed (2 cash gift cards + 2 PayPal payments), and a total of $15 from PineCone Research. Both are two of my favs!

   I have also cashed out and have checks on the way from Survey Spot ($25) and Your2Cents ($27)! These are just a few of the panels that I wanted to share to let all who remains skeptical know … there is $$$ to be made being a survey panelist!

   What are YOU waiting for?

   That’s great to hear Callie!
   Congratulations and keep it up.
   You’re my shinning example of taking action.

   I still want to see you try a career at affiliate marketing since I think you would be great. But to each their own. =)

   Congrats again.

   You go girl!

   Thank you Eddy.

   I am pleasantly surprised at how quickly survey rewards can add up! I appreciate the survey programs that pay via PayPal … those are great!

   Thanks for the vote of confidence. I am very excited about pursuing affiliate marketing … I’m ready to move on to the bigger bucks … cha ching!! Now I just have to manage my survey reward $$$ to pay for a Wealthy Affiliate membership, lol.

   I’m glad I had the audacity to follow your advice … the nerve of me.

   Having a hard time joining online service because of my location. I live in the Philippines and most of the survey websites are not applicable in my location. Do you have other suggestions on how i can start with WAH business.

   Hoping for your help. Thanks.

   Hi Bev,

   I totally understand your situation. Have you tried our international section:

   or considered a work at home career as an affiliate:

   Brain Juicers & Exclusive Online Community Membership!

   Just surfin’ by once again to give an update …

   Joining legitimate survey panels has been one of the best things I have done in terms of finding real online opportunities that pay!

   Not only do I earn decent “mad money” from completing online surveys … but participating in “Brain Juicers” and also an “Exclusive Online Community” has been great! And they’re FREE! Invitations for these come just as regular survey invites do.

   Both the Brain Juicers and Exclusive Online Community (differs from an online focus group) participation rewards you more, and are interestingly fun too! I have been invited to both just from being an active survey panelist.

   The Exclusive Online Community pays consistently per month a basic participation reward, but also with the opportunity to earn much bigger rewards via special projects, etc. Usually, big name multi-billion dollar companies are involved and seriously want to know your opinions! I have no problem giving mine … lol!

   I’m having a blast folks, and you can too, but you have to start by at least joining the top 5 panels listed above. And ya’ never know, you too may qualify for and be invited to other online research programs!

   Hey now, I just received another survey invitation … so, I gotta go!

   Hey Callie,

   First and foremost you really are my shining student when it comes to making money online. You really have run with a lot of the advice I’ve provided on this blog and are very successful.

   You should be an inspiration to all who claim that you can’t make money online, everything is a scam or people that limit themselves to traditional work at home jobs.

   You’re a clear example of what happens when people are willing to step out their comfort zone and taking action rather than “trying something”. So I wanted to send you a big shout out!

   Now you ain’t going to come here and yapp about another great survey opportunity and not provide some links are you?

   Please post the links, and its okay if its an affiliate link, afterall I want all of you to get involved in a work at home career as an affiliate:
   www.workathomenoscams.com/aff

   and besides you actually provide value in your post and not just “go visit my affiliate link” type of post.

   So please share with the rest of us.

   Eddy

    Hey Eddy,

    Actually, yes I am here yappin’ about other great survey opportunities. And, no … sorry, there are no links to post. If there had been, I would have been more than happy to provide them.

    You being an active panelist as myself, know that we cannot disclose pertinent information about the surveys we take. The Brain Juicers and Exclusive Online Community both are no exception to the confidentiality rule. Therefore, there is a limit to the amount of information I can provide about them.

    I can and will say the Brain Juicers are basically a new fangled way to complete a survey. Rather than just clicking radio buttons or selecting little boxes to indicate your survey option choice, the Brain Juicer allows you to type in full sentences for each of your answers; thus, juicing your brain for more thought provoking answers … lol.

    Now, the Exclusive Online Community selects targeted individuals via a special invitation for continuous participation. I was specifically selected (out of hundreds!) as a mom with kiddos returning to school. The program is great and requires minimal online community participation of only 5-15 minutes per week. The reward for participation is a guaranteed monthly gift card. Additionally, there are ongoing projects, etc. within the community where even more really nice gift card incentives can be earned.

    And like basic survey demographics, these Exclusive Online Communities are targeting many types of individuals from all over. So, there’s plenty of opportunity to possibly be invited into one.

    So you see, I would have never been eligible for neither of these two research opportunities had I not started out by simply joining your top 5 survey panels. Beginning there is a key step, because one never knows where it will lead too.

    I know there are “negative Nancys” and “skeptical Sams” out there. And because I am unable to provide links or disclose any further information, I would hope my genuine encouragement to your loyal subscribers will suffice as adding value to my posts.

    As always … I am here to help.

    Hi Callie,

    Sorry for the confusion, I didn’t mean provide links to the actual surveys or details about them. I know that’s against the rules. lol

    I was hoping you knew of a link to sign up for the panels like you did.

    But I was able to find a link to join Brain Juicers:
    http://juicybrainspanel.com/join.php

    I wasn’t as lucky with the other one you mentioned.
    In either case, sounds like these are another set of great survey companies to work for.

    You continue to prove that they are successful ways to earn money at home if you’re willing to join the legitimate ones and many of them at once as I’ve always suggested.

    So thanks for providing these continuous updates. Hopefully it will inspire others to do the same.

    Thanks.

    Eddy

    Hey Eddy,

    Thanks for the Brain Juicers link. When I posted above, I was actually invited to a brain juicer sponsored survey thru one of the other panels I belong to. So I didn’t even think to search for and locate the link as you. Lol … oh well, I can’t think of everything.

    I did however search for and locate 2 Exclusive Online Community memberships links! The main facilitator is called Communispace. It’s a great place to be a member of! From what I understand, a member can only participate in ONE Communispace Community at any given time.

    The 2 that I have found are Ameritrade and WalMart. WalMart is the community that I was selected to participate in.

    Ameritrade is more than likely interested in both men and women participants. However, WalMart is currently interested in mothers for their community activities. Sorry guys and fathers.

    So, if anyone is interested, please take a look-see here:

    Ameritrade Community – http://websurveyor.net/wsb.dll/s/3391g3658c?paction=resume

    WalMart Community – http://websurveyor.net/wsb.dll/s/3391g36e7b?paction=resume

    Best wishes to all!

    Hey Moms … who knows, I may see you around the WalMart Community!

    Communispace Paid Online Community Update!

    The Walmart Community qualifying survey link (http://websurveyor.net/wsb.dll/s/3391g36e7b?paction=resume) for new members is no longer active. The quota has been filled at this time. But keep your eyes peeled for future opportunities to try out for this wonderful community.

    The Ameritrade Community qualifying survey link (http://websurveyor.net/wsb.dll/s/3391g3658c?paction=resume) remains active, so there’s still time to take the brief survey to see if you will qualify and possibly be selected as a member. The link won’t remain active forever, so don’t delay … check it out today!

    I was inspired by the shared stories, and excited when hearing about the five top survey’s because even though I’m only a few day’s into searching for my first work at home internet company and or work at home internet advisee, you guys here at
    (workathomenoscams.com) have seemed more honest and BBB bonified by far than any others I have seen.

    I can’t wait to get some sleep praise the Lord Jesus
    Christ at church tomorrow morning and then come home and sign up with you internet company.

    Thanks again and God Bless!

    P.S. Don’t forget to have a great weak!

    Hi Matt,

    Thanks for the kind words. As long as you read through all the material on this blog, you should do well. It takes some time to earn a decent income from home. But more importantly is to take a path that helps you avoid all the scams and mistakes that most work at home seekers make. When you can do that it speeds up the process and saves you money, time and frustration.

    By the way we’re not listed with the BBB. I’m just a regular dude sharing his experiences. You may also want to read our article about the BBB:
    www.workathomenoscams.com/2008/01/14/bbb-work-at-home/

    In any event, get some sleep. We’re not going anywhere so you can take your time and read through our material as you have time. There is a lot of it but well worth it if you want to avoid newbie mistakes.

    You have a great week as well! Remember take your time through this whole process. The best way to succeed is to educate yourself about the industry then proceed with caution.

    Take care.

    Eddy

    Thanks for your kind words and thanks for sharing. You’re just further proof that paid surveys can make people money if people stick with the legit ones.

    I was already a member of three of the survey sites you suggest. I just signed up for the other two. I have not made much money in the 5 months I have already been a member of the three sites, so I hope adding the other two will help. I respond to all the emails I get from them with invitations to surveys and have only made $40 so far.

    Hi Gina,

    Taking surveys on their own won’t make you lots of money but it does make you some as you’ve already experienced. The real money is in focus groups:
    www.workathomenoscams.com/focus but like surveys it all depends if you get called.

    The key to making decent money online is to be involved in many little programs that combined make you decent money like some of our recommendations on the following page:
    www.workathomenoscams.com/article

    You can also make great money by referring other people to the programs you’re already making money with. This is referred to being an affiliate.

    Your other option is to focus on high paying work at home careers such as medical transcription:
    www.workathomenoscams.com/typing

    or being an affiliate:
    www.workathomenoscams.com/aff

    , programming, etc. But that means you need to invest in the proper training. So you have options, its just a matter of knowing them and then taking advantage of them in one capacity or another.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Wilson,

    PineConeResearch is annoying and makes you hunt down those sign up links. You’ll just have to do a search on Google for PineConeResearch sign up link. You probably have to do the same thing with LightSpeed. A great site for surveys is www.surveyfavs.com run by my good friend Callie.

    Good luck.
