I haven't posted about surveys in a while. I do surveys every day, sometimes just 1 or 2, other times I'll sit for an hour and do surveys, it just depends on my schedule. I typically earn about $100 or so per month on surveys and focus groups, etc. I love earning money in my pj's from home while in front of the TV. It's even better when a survey leads to a product test. I recently for a free 6 pack of toilet paper to try out!
Pinecone is la creme de la creme when it comes to survey companies. It's even invite only! You won't get bombarded with emails. I receive approximately 1-2 screener surveys per week. The screener surveys are short and if you qualify you'll get an invitation to complete the survey within a few days. They always give you a deadline by which the survey must be completed and I like knowing that I qualify for the survey and my time won't be wasted.
Pinecone surveys pay $3 each and you can elect to receive the money via Paypal or check. They automatically send the money after each survey so there is no need to remember to cash out or wait until you get to a set amount. Pinecone registration is by invite only and I've got an invite for you all - just click on the graphic above and enter your information. Please note that they are especially interested in people who live alone, English speaking Hispanic Americans, and surfers between 18 and 24 years old. I don't get any spam from Pinecone but you should use your separate deals or surveys email address when you sign up.
