Money With Surveys

2. Introduction
Let me begin by introducing myself.
I'm Victoria Stone and I've been making money from online surveys for the past 5
years. I'm happily married, a mom of two beautiful daughters, and working from the
comfort of home is the perfect arrangement for me. Given a choice between getting
up at 7 am and heading out to a day job, or sliding out of bed whenever I like and
being around my family, I'll take the second option every time. Wouldn't you?
This e-book tells you, in simple terms, how to make an income by completing
surveys over the internet. You won't find any catches here, either: I won't be asking
you to buy another e-book (“If you want to make even more money, buy my SUPER
SURVEY E-BOOK for $800!”), nor will you find me asking for donations, wasting
your time with unnecessary “filler content” to pad-out the pages and add perceived
value, nor will I be requesting you to join a paid community to learn even more.
What you see is what you get. (A new concept in e-books, it seems!) I grow entirely
tired of “authorities” supposedly providing free moneymaking information only to
find out later that some clause requires us to part with money (for this free
information).
Why have I put pen to paper, then? (Well, finger to keyboard.) Simple: Giving away
free guides like this helps to spread the word about my site, Moneymaking Mothers.
The more people who read Moneymaking Mothers (all of which is entirely composed
of free and helpful content for moms wanting to make money – nice plug, Victoria!),
the more money I can charge advertisers for my few remaining ad spots. Unless
you're an advertiser, I can't imagine you'll ever be sending cash my way. Which is
fine! The simple fact that you read my site helps me to make money, anyway. Cool,
hey?
So let us get started!
Kind regards,
Victoria Stone.

3. How I Can Help You
Paid surveys get a lot of bad press. Mostly, this is due to ignorance on the part of the
person ranting. You'll see people saying they're a scam or they don't pay or the work
is too hard. Rubbish, I say.
Companies who offer us payment for surveys would not be in business very long if
any of the above was true. The fact is, these companies NEED us. This is what
happens. A major company goes to a survey company and asks them to get opinions
on their latest product; a new brand of cough syrup or diaper or whatever. They pay
the survey company for all the market research provided by them. And, thus, they
pay us for answering the surveys for that market research. If they didn't pay, if the
pay was terrible, or if they were out-and-out scam artists, we would all wise up and
the survey sites would be out of business. Simple as that.
So they do pay. And you're going to learn just how well they can pay if you follow
my method.
Talking of methods.
This e-book isn't some bland, state-the-obvious, rehashed collection of pages that you
could find anywhere else on-line. What would be the point? I want to impress you
so you become a regular reader of my website and become part of our growing
community of moms. I can't very well do this without truly giving away something
special.
If you join a survey site and begin tapping away on your keyboard (like I did in the
beginning), you'll make peanuts. (And I don't even like peanuts!) So how can I help
you? I'm going to show you methods comprised of enough tricks and twists and tips
to actually have you making decent money.
Decent money, you say? Let us be totally honest: this will not make you rich. You
won't be buying a house in the Bahamas any time soon or blowing $4,000 on a new
handbag (not that I ever would anyway). By decent, I mean a few hundred dollars a
month. If you need $10,000 a month or more, this e-book is not for you. But if you
want extra money to pay the grocery bill, buy gifts for birthdays, or pay the mortgage
or rent, you're in the right place. I can show you how to do these things, no problem.
I do it, so why can't you?
Okay, are we ready? Great! Let's get down to business!

4. Step 1: Joining Survey Sites
I'll begin by giving you a very important tip here and then explain the joining process.
Tip: If you join less than 6 survey sites, you're wasting your time. I mean it.
Seriously. If you can't spend 5 minutes joining each site, press the white X on the top
right of this e-book and delete it. I don't mean to sound harsh (at all). The truth is, I
can't help you if you only join a few. (You really WILL be earning peanuts then.)
The only way I can help is if you do what I do. And in the next section, especially,
you're going to appreciate the importance of this advice. Some of you will finish this
e-book, join a couple of sites, and say, “Victoria, what the heck?” Don't be one of
those folks.
Let's talk joining.
The big question everyone asks me is this: “Does it cost anything to join them?”
It costs as much money to join these as it does to join Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, or
Youtube. And it takes about as long! If you were to walk into town and get a job in a
card store, they wouldn't ask you for any money to work for them. Same thing
applies to survey sites.
The second question I get asked is this: “Do they pay?”
They do, indeed, pay. In all, they offer payment by wire, check, and Paypal. Some of
them pay exclusively in gifts (not my preferred kind) and others just give you gifts as
a bonus or give you a chance to win them. Some survey sites pay twice a month,
others once a month, and others as soon as you meet the threshold, which is anywhere
from $20 to $100 dollars. Surveys themselves pay anywhere from a dollar to $75
(my favourite).
What is involved in the joining process?
I'll show you the joining process, step-by-step, aided with some pictures. The entire
joining procedure will take you a few minutes tops and in a minute or so, I'll explain
why it's really important you fill out the form well.
I already have an account here, but one of my readers has kindly supplied pictures of
her joining process today. The site is Toluna. That's a link to their U.S site. If you're
from the U.K, here's their U.K site: Toluna UK.

5. This is the most well-known and respected survey site. You can see around 100,000
Facebook users alone have liked the site.
On this page, all you have to do is:
– enter your name,
– select your gender,
– input your date of birth,
– choose a username and password,
– and select your country.
Estimate time: 30 seconds.
Here's another pic:

6. Next thing: upload a profile picture. I always use my Facebook picture, but any
image will do. Estimated time: 10 seconds.
This next step is VERY IMPORTANT. The site has sent you a verification email.
You can't receive surveys without a working email, so they need to know you entered
it correctly into the form.

7. Simply go to your e-mail in-box and find it. Note: sometimes e-mails wind up in
spam folders if you use a free email account like me. If you don't see the email,
check there.
This is what you'll find in your in-box:
Just click on the link: “Please activate your account.” This will then take you to a
page with a CAPTCHA. These pages exist to stop spammers making hundreds of
accounts with software.

8. Done! In total, it should take around 1 minute to join. Painless, right? You then get
presented with this page:

9. You can make friends and learn about the best moneymaking surveys in the
community (highly recommended) or you can click the Start Now button for
“Answer Surveys And Get Great Rewards.”
Remember I said it was important to fill out your join info really well? Well, this is
why. When you click the left-hand Start Now button, you are asked questions about
yourself. (I have chosen not to include pictures here, in the interest of keeping my
reader's details private). They ask you questions like where you live and where you
work; standard stuff that takes a few minutes tops to answer, if that.
Why is it important to answer well? Survey sites like this send you surveys based on
your answers to these questions. Maybe there's a new restaurant opening where you
live. They send a survey. Maybe you're a new mom and they want to get your
opinion on what makes a good diaper. You get a survey. So, answer them well and
you'll get more surveys.
And that – as they say – is that. Like I say, it's no harder than joining Facebook.
What I suggest you do is set aside 30 minutes and join these survey sites:
Best U.S Survey Sites
1. Toluna
2. Panda Research
3. Inbox Pays
4. iSurvey World
5. Minds Pay
6. Cash Crate
7. Bash Bound
8. Vindale Research
9. Amp Surveys
10. Live Sample
Even if it takes you 3 minutes to join each one, that's still only 30 minutes in total.
There are other survey sites, but you only need the above 10 for decent money. So
put aside half an hour, grab a coffee, and join these before moving on to the next step:
“Step 2: Completing Tons Of Surveys.”
I don't want to leave out my U.K readers, so below you'll see my recommended
survey sites for you, too. You can find many others, and I suggest you do, but the 3
below are used by my other readers and are the absolute best ones going.

10. Best U.K Survey Sites
Toluna U.K
Amp Surveys U.K
Holiday Rewards U.K
Step 2: Completing Tons of Surveys
The people complaining that survey sites don't pay much are those people who join
one site and expect to make oodles of money. Get real, right? What I'm going to do
is show you how to complete dozens of surveys a week. (And make good money!)
Keep in mind that even though your typical survey will only pay a dollar or so, there
are many others that pay in double figures. It's easy to imagine how much money
you can make if you can complete a heap of these each week.
Join Many!
Well, you already know the main way to get lots of surveys: joining lots of survey
sites. The second way has also been touched on, but I want to explain it a little more.
Be Detailed!
You absolutely must be as detailed as possible in the info about yourself that you give
to the survey site. The more info they have about you (it isn't shared and it isn't
particularly personal, either), the more easily they can match you with surveys to
complete.
Diversity!
Now, related to the above is being DIVERSE when you talk about yourself. You'll
often get the option to tick boxes of interests. Make sure you tick every interest that
you have; the more, the merrier. Again, these interests are part of the screening
process and are used to target surveys for you to fill out.
Community!
The bigger survey sites have large community forums. HUGE. Become an active
member because sometimes surveys are not sent out to your e-mail in-box.
Sometimes you have to apply for them and it's these ones that often pay the most: $50
and $75. Out of these big ones, I would say 90% I find on the forums.
Another great thing about being forum-active is you make friends and they will
always message you when something great becomes available. I'm forever receiving

11. e-mail notifications from private forum messages.
So, using forums is a hugely effective way to boost the number of surveys you can
complete.
Nick of Time!
Some surveys are time-sensitive; meaning when you get e-mailed about them, you
may only have a short time to reply and complete them. So yet another way to boost
your income is by setting up the Thunderbird e-mail client on your desktop. It's free
and provided by Mozilla over here: Thunderbird. Leave it switched on and when
you receive an e-mail, you'll know about it that very second. You'll be the first to get
in on these offers. And they mount up!
Log In Each Day!
Survey sites will advertise their latest surveys on the site and you can apply for them.
Log in each day so you don't miss out.
Google E-mail Alerts!
This final tip is a doozy. (Just wait.) Another reason my methods here require you to
join the recommended survey sites is due to Google e-mail alerts. What we'll be
doing is using the power of these alerts to FLOOD our in-box with surveys to
complete.
Log into your Gmail account and head here: Google Alerts.
You'll be presented with this page:

12. What we're going to be doing is asking Google Alerts to let us know when someone –
anywhere on the internet – mentions something about a survey for us to complete.
Note: Only do this step AFTER you have joined the survey sites. The idea
behind this trick is so you get the jump on the competition. If you have to waste
time joining survey sites and filling out screening questions, it defeats the
purpose of using alerts. So join the sites and then return here.
So . . . if someone says on a forum or a blog, “Toluna is paying $50 on this offer over
the weekend. Get typing, ladies. Easy money!” Google alerts will e-mail you about
it instantly and you won't miss out. This is amazing. You don't have to join a
gazillion different forums or scour the net every hour of the day. You'll be receiving
these alerts every minute of the day and, unlike every other mom doing surveys,
you'll know EVERY decent survey going at ANY given moment. Yikes. Sorry about
the caps, but it's exciting. (LOL) I do love this method so much. I actually get the
alerts sent to my laptop, my iPad, my desktop, AND my iPhone.
Think You Can Make Money Now?
If this section hasn't convinced you that good money can be made, nothing will.
It's a simple process. Join the 10 best survey sites in the world (or 3, if you're in the
United Kingdom). Follow my methods in Step 2: Completing Tons of Surveys. Set
aside an hour or so each day. Earn several hundred dollars every month. Pay rent,
mortgage, groceries, buy a pink rabbit, whatever. (LOL).
Final Tip: Another Doozy!
Your time is valuable, right? Of course. Mine, too. So why sell your time for a low
price?
The methods in this e-book should put you ahead of 95% of most people completing
surveys. The Google Alerts trick alone makes me hundreds.
Time is valuable. So why always target low-paying offers? Wouldn't it be better to
use what you now know and be completing surveys for $25 a time?
So this is my final tip. Value your time and MOSTLY go after the high-paying offers.
If you follow my advice in this e-book you are in an almost unique position to do just
that. You know how to FIND the good offers. Why waste all your time on the little
ones? I say “mostly” because those little ones do mount up and they're quick to
complete, but always be on the lookout for the big surveys. These ones mount up
even better!

13. Now, before I leave you, I'd just like to remind you of the useful links I've mentioned.
