   I’ve worked with My survey for 2 years and it is a good survey website to get some extra cash. But I can say with me it’s not to live on just extra to play with.

   Hi Tasha,

   Thanks for vouching for MySurvey. I agree it’s not something you can live off. My successful strategy for working at home full time has been working with multiple companies. Individually they don’t necessarily earn me a lot but combined together it’s a full time salary.

   So it’s important for people to understand that when looking at this opportunity. The video is more about showing folks that it is possible to make money with surveys without having to pay these dumb fees I see all over the place.

   Tasha, thanks again for your insight.

   Since I’ve been surveying for awhile, when are you telling us about work at home jobs that really pay?
   Hope to know soon.

   Hey Ginny,

   Great to hear from you again.
   I’ve actually made some references to a few ways to make “real money” in many of my comments to folks. I.E. Medical Transcription and affiliate marketing.

   But I’m working behind the scenes on presenting some other work at home opportunities. The jobs are already listed for you in the companies section of this site. So people looking for jobs just need to visit: http://www.workathomecareers.com/companies

   But for me job means “just over broke” so you ain’t going to hear me talking much about jobs or promoting finding a work at home jobs as the way to ultimate success. A work at home job wasn’t what helped me retire. I advocate work at home careers and work at home opportunities because that’s what eventually lead to my success.

   I started off doing things like what I presented in the video above and then just magnified those efforts into other related type of opportunities. So when I do present how I’ve made “real money” you’ll be very shocked to learn it has nothing to do with having a work at home job.

   But stay tuned. People have to learn to walk before they can run and many of the things I’m showing you guys is just that. But like said if you’re just interested in work at home jobs just click on the navigation links on the top of the page.

   Thanks.

   Eddy

   Thank you for the rating on the survey site. I signed up for mysurvey.com a while ago but didn’t notice anything different from the many others I have signed up with, but after seeing your video about it I downloaded the survey messenger that tells you when you get new survey opportunities and I’m going to keep that site in mind from now on. Thank you again.

   Hi Carrie,

   I’m glad you’re giving it another chance.
   As you can see in the video I’ve done pretty well with it taking surveys and referring others. So you have two great ways to make money with MySurvey even when you’re not taking any surveys.

   I have to say I’m really happy to see so many of my loyal visitors taking action. I was really starting to think that my advice was falling on deaf ears:

   Hello!!

   I just saw your video and signed up with mysurvey. I am excited to see where it leads. (I know I won’t get rich or even pay a big bill but every little bit helps.) I’ve been searching around for something to do in my spare time from home since I am a single parent. To work outside the home for a part time job when I am already gone most of the day for my full time job takes too much time away from my son. I will check back in once I have completed a few surveys!! Wish me luck!!

    I am very proud of you that you are willing to take action on mysurvey. I’m glad you understand you won’t make large amounts of money with it. But like you said every little bit does count and that is better than not making any money in my humble opinion.

    If you couldn’t already tell, I’m a poor college student, and there aren’t really any jobs available that are within walking distance, so I’ve been doing some research.. any insight you have would be great!

    Hi AshLeigh,

    I definitely recommend this opportunity to any one looking for a little source of income whether you’re in college or not.

    We’ve listed a few other of our recommendations on the following page as well:
    http://www.workathomenoscams.com/articles

    The one piece of advice I will give you as you search for work at home is to always do your research. And you can do that by following the advice of the video we have listed on our scam page:
    http://www.workathomenoscams.com/scams

    If you follow that advice you should avoid a lot of issues that new work at home seekers run into.

    Next be sure to read our question section:
    http://www.workathomenoscams.com/ask in its entirety. Its as long as the bible but it gives you nearly everything you’ll need to know about working at home.

    So I hope this helps. I remember what it was like being in college trying to find a work at home job. I tried typing peoples papers but it didn’t do as well for me as it did when I offered that service for medical students.

    Good luck either way.

    Eddy

    Hi Lisa,

    Great question. Just in case it wasn’t made clear in the video, I am a very experienced affiliate:
    http://www.workathomenoscams.com/aff

    So racking up those points came relatively quickly because of my training and experience. Most people won’t rack up that type of points unless they’ve been trained to be an affiliate.

    So don’t use me as a reference in terms of the amount of points you saw in the video. The point of the video was to demonstrate how this company works, their legitimacy and how you can earn some money as well. Hopefully you’ll earn as much as possible relatively quickly.

    Thanks for sharing your experience. I must admit trying new products before they come out is a lot of fun. Pinecone Research is also very good for that.

    By the way if you want to increase the amount you can earn with mysurvey or just non-traditional work at home opportunities in general, try referring other people. Most of these companies offer referral programs. And why not share the love?

    I make good money doing this:

    Hi Kay,

    I totally understand your concern. A lot of the shady survey companies will spam the crap out of you. MySurvey isn’t one of them. That’s why I only really list a hand few of survey companies because the other ones seems more concerned with pushing your email to their partners. In general what you should do is have a separate “work” email for work at home programs. This way your personal email can never fall into the wrong hands. I also suggest using gmail. They have a great spam filter. When I sign up for companies I’m not really familiar with I always use my gmail account. I hope this helps.

    Just keep in mind surveys are only made available based on a profile that may be in demand for a given project. It’s less of a reflection of the survey company. But being part of a lot of legitimate survey databases will better your chances of getting surveys. Hope that makes sense.
    Just make sure they’re legit. They’re are a lot of survey companies out there but only a smaller number that are truly legit.

    Surveysavvy.com. Is this a legit work at home? It asks to build your profile by answering some personal surveys to better understand you and to know what kind of surveys to send. But the questions it asks is really personal. For example it already asks for your home address then it asks for what kind of stuff you own what exactly do you own(personal materials). It seems like a site to where somewhere can find out what you have and go break into your house. Doesn’t it?

    Reply

    Eddy Salomon said on August 7th, 2009 at 4:49 pm

    Okay, let’s try this:

    Basically any company you’re working with will send you a w9 that you must fill. This document will be filed with the government. At the end of the year if you’ve earned over $600, they will send you 1099. You will need to provide this to your accountant. He/She will then ask you what your expenses were for this business which will be stuff like your internet, home office supplies, etc. (They’ll be able to advise you on your deductions) Whatever is left over after all your deductions is what can be taxed by the feds and you’ll be expected to pay back. I know this in intimate details because I’m an independent contractor for all the affiliate companies I work with. That’s a common way to work with home based folks so the company avoids the cost of managing taxes and such. So that’s basically the process assuming you’re here in the U.S. and it may vary from state to state.

    Hopefully this is clear as day now.

    I understand why you’re paranoid because there are a lot of scams out there. But this isn’t one of them. Any legit work at home company is going to need your address to send your checks or tax forms assuming you earn over $600 for the given year. It’s no different than when become part of a company for a job and they ask you all this personal information. They’re using it for the same reasons. That being said not every company is legit and you’re right to be cautious and doing your due diligence. Watch my scam video and you’ll know how to do that:

    Hi Eddy

    Just something I have noticed when taking part in online surveys. Practically every one of them (I cannot remember off-hand the names of the survey companies involved) ask the same questions to start off i.e. how old are you? 43. Are you employed? No! Once I give them that information it’s “hello, goodbye, thanks for your time but no thanks!” It happens every time I try to do a survey! So much for being honest eh lol!

    Eddy Salomon said on September 1st, 2009 at 9:51 am

    Hi Jane,

    It would be interesting to learn which companies that you’re experiencing this with. I’ll just say this again at the risk of sounding like a broken record:
    You only qualify for a given survey if you fit a profile. It shouldn’t be taken personal or viewed as a question of legitimacy. It’s basically supply and demand. If I’m a company looking to interview women who are 18-25 and are employed and your profile doesn’t fit this, then I’m not paying a company like MySurvey to recruit people outside of my desired parameter. It would be flushing money down the drain for me as a company because I know what my target audience is and that’s who I want to hear from.

    The most important thing is to be in the database of the legitimate survey companies so when a firm is looking for your profile you’ll qualify. You can’t make consistent money by taking surveys alone since you can’t fit every profile. But many of the companies have a referral program and that’s where you can make money with surveys consistently.
    Read the following article for more details:

    I also joined My Survey.com and was very skeptical about all the questions of my personal life.I have filled out two so far and they are all about me.Their policy is scary . It states that they have control over all your business on the internet.Maybe I misunderstood.Help me out on this.At this point, I’m not sure what to do.

    Hi Elsie,

    These questions are part of market research. Their company is listed with the BBB in good standing. I’ve been with them for years and never had an issue. As you’ve read by the comments others have had the same experience. That being said market research may not be for you. So you don’t have to join if providing this type of information makes you feel uncomfortable.

    There are other options available to you like the ones found on the following page:

    Good luck. I hope this helps.

    TNS is rated with the BBB:
