2008 Survey Earnings for May

May 29th 2008 14:13
Last month my goal was $35, and I didn't make it. This month I kept it the same, and didn't make the $35 dollar mark again.

I've made it to $23.75 this month; that's more than $10 below my goal. I did have a surprising $7 survey from surveysavvy.com though. Then just yesterday had a follow up question to that survey for another $1. (Yes, it was just one question and I got $1 for it haha). Surveyspot also picked back up again and I had two surveys from them for $7 total. I wound up with $4.50 from globaltestmarket, and then a little over a dollar from a few of the others.


I don't expect to make any more from (or much more) in the next two days, so I'm going to leave it that I made $23.75 for the month of May. Hopefully next month will be higher.

Have any of you signed up for more of these survey sites? I hope you're having better luck than I am in making goals!

As always, check the survey site archives for all of the survey sites I've covered.

Survey "Site-ings" (pt. 16)

May 23rd 2008 10:40
I mentioned in my March 2008 Survey Earnings Update that I had taken a $5 survey with surveys.com. Well, I finally got paid about a week ago, so now it's time to write about them.

I joined surveys.com awhile ago, and I may have gotten a $1 survey payment from them before, but I couldn't remember, so I decided to wait until this survey went through.

I don't get many surveys from them, and I believe that not all of them come with cash incentives. Quite a few of them are for giveaway entries. I don't do those surveys.


The emails come with the survey length, end date, and reward listed in them. At the top you can also see "What is this survey about?" From what I learned when waiting to get my payment, the survey closes the month after what it says in the email, and then the month after that is when your payment will show up. (I emailed them earlier this month since I hadn't gotten paid yet and was beginning to wonder what was up).

They pay by paypal, which I like. No wasted paper for $5 checks.

Happy money making!

This was not a good month for survey taking. I was highly distracted by many things this month, and wasn't online as much as I normally am. I've only made $23.65 this month. My goal had been $35, and I don't think I will be making more than ten dollars in the next couple days. Such is life.

Anyway, I made the most from pinecone this month - $12. I made just over $4 from mysurvey and $3.75 from globaltestmarket. $2.80 came from opinion outpost, and $1 from surveysavvy.

I still haven't gotten paid from the surveys.com survey I took last month. That is why I haven't written a post for them yet. If it doesn't come by the end of the first week of May, I will be emailing them to see what is up with that.

That was a quick update. As usual, for all the sites I've tried visit the survey site archives. Any other questions can be posted in the comment section or always feel free to email me!

For some reason, no matter what I decide as my goal for survey earnings, that is how much I earn (usually a little over). This month's goal was $30, and I made $35.20. I'm not sure exactly how this happens, because I try all of the surveys that get sent to my email no matter what my goal is. Oh, well I won't complain!

I wound up with $12 from pinecone this month. Somehow I took a survey for them that I didn't even remember doing, because when I got a check in the mail on Friday I was surprised. Globaltestmarket is the same from last update, but surveyspot is now to $6. I also should be receiving a $5 payment from surveys.com to my paypal account. I haven't written a review of surveys.com because I hadn't ever gotten any money from them, and all of their surveys since I started this blog have been for sweepstakes entries. For some reason the survey I did a few days ago was for $5. We'll see how that works out and expect a review of that soon! I have little bits of money from some of the other sites as well. Nothing major.

I now have $62.60 waiting to be cashed out from all the survey places. I haven't done any of the snowflaking yet. All of my checks from pinecone are still in my wallet. But I knew that if I put them in the bank already they would wind up being spent on gas or something else.

That's it for this month. As usual, for all the sites I've tried visit the survey site archives. Any other questions can be posted in the comment section or always feel free to email me!

I raised my goal for survey earnings this month to $30. How am I advancing on that goal? Well, I'm at $14.05 right now. That's almost halfway to my goal. So things are looking good.

The biggest money making site for me so far this month is globaltestmarket from whom I have $6. I also have $3 from surveyspot, and I believe I should have a $3 check on the way from pinecone.

Not much else to report on the earnings front. In total I have $53.45 waiting to be cashed out from the various sites. I think that from this month on I will actually be able to use my survey payouts as snowflakes towards my tuition credit cards. (If you need some more information on "snowflakes" you should check out paid twice's primer on snowflakes).

Of course, for all the sites I've tried visit the survey site archives. Any other questions can be posted in the comment section or always feel free to email me!

2008 Survey Earnings for End of February

February 29th 2008 11:08
If you've been here a while, you know I had a goal for this month to make $25 from surveys. Somehow it seems I always just make my goal, no matter how high I set the goal. Because this month I made $27.75.

That was thanks to pinecone, from whom I had $6 total (and sent to me already!). And also thanks to $5 worth of points posted to mysurvey (that I had mentioned in my mid-month update). I've also made $8 total from surveyspot this month and $4 from globaltestmarket

Survey "Site-ings" (pt. 15)

February 26th 2008 11:09
I announced a little while ago that I had joined pinecone research. By now it's time for an update on how they function.

Pinecone Research can only be joined when you happen to see one of their banners that says they are open to new people. Or, the way I found it was to use the freebie site I mentioned in the Free Stuff?? post: "afreebieempire." I subscribe to that email and it was through one of those emails I joined pinecone

Update on January 2008 Survey Earnings

February 4th 2008 12:47
I'm a little late with my update on how much I earned from surveys. When I posted on January 15th I stood at $10.25, about halfway to my goal.

Where do I stand now? I actually made my goal! I made $21.56 total for January. Survey spot is the leader because I made $9 from them for the month. I had mentioned I was in the middle of a $10 survey for mysurvey when I last posted. That one ran into this month, and the majority of the earnings came at the end. So during January I only made about $4 from mysurvey

Update on Survey Savvy

February 3rd 2008 12:35
I got a check in the mail yesterday from survey savvy. I can now vouch for the fact that they are legitimate. Yay for getting a $10 check in the mail!

I hope you all are having similar (or better!) success
