Instant Cash Sweepstakes

Instant Cash Sweepstakes is a marketing research company that pays you to take short polls online.  This is very similar to taking online surveys, but takes a lot less time (a few seconds at most) and pays a lot less. 

Amazon Mechanical Turk

Recently I have written a few articles about taking surveys online because (besides my job) online surveys is one of my main income sources.  However a downside to online surveys, is that eventually you will run out of surveys to take.  Yes, you will get more surveys soon enough, but in the meantime, how else are you going to make money?  Through Amazon Mechanical Turk.

Researching Online Surveys

Don't be afraid to search for your own online survey sites.  There are a ton of legitimate survey sites out there, you just have to find them.  The only reason I told you about these 3 survey sites is because I personally use them myself, and while they work for me, you may want different options.  

MySurvey.com

How MySurvey works:
MySurvey is an easy survey site where you take surveys to earn points, and turn those points into cash (100 points=$1).  The interesting thing about MySurvey is how it differs from the first two survey sites I had written about.  With both OpinionOutpost and Surveyspot, you do not have a choice about which survey you take, you hit the "take a survey" button, and it brings you to the next available one.  With MySurvey you get a list of available surveys to take, and you have the option of which ones you want to take. 

Surveyspot.com

How Surveyspot Works
Another fairly straightforward survey site: you take surveys online to earn points (100 points=$1.)  After you earn a specific amount of points you can cash for money and other prizes.  Surveyspot and OpinionOutpost are very similar sites in the way the sites are set up.  With both sites, there is just one button you push and they automatically send you a survey, you don't get a choice of how long the particular survey takes, or how much you can earn with that survey.

OpinionOutpost.com

How Opinion Outpost works:
This is fairly straight forward, you take online surveys to earn points (10 opinion points=$1.00) After you earn a specific amount of points, you can cash out for money and other prizes.  Recently Opinion Outpost overhauled their site for the better.  The two big differences are the way in which you take surveys, and the way that you get paid.

Online Surveys

The first technique to make more money I will be telling you about is online surveys.  Online surveys is something I have been doing for quite a long time, and I have made a decent amount of money out of it.
